Charming Portland Cottage with Hot Tub

Tucked into the quiet West Slope neighborhood just minutes from downtown Portland, this charming two-bedroom cottage is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down. With a private hot tub, a furnished patio, and a peaceful residential setting surrounded by mature trees, it strikes a rare balance — close enough to reach Portland's best restaurants, parks, and attractions in under fifteen minutes, but far enough from the noise to actually relax when you get home. * A note on the property setup: This is an owner-occupied property — the owners live in the main residence at the front of the lot. Your cottage is a fully private, self-contained guest space accessed through its own dedicated entrance at the back of the property. You'll have complete privacy throughout your stay; the two spaces are separate and do not share interior access. Please use the back entrance upon arrival — directions and access details are included in your check-in instructions. The cottage is thoughtfully laid out for comfort. The galley kitchen comes fully equipped with a full-size refrigerator, stove, microwave, and dishwasher, so you can cook everything from a quick breakfast before heading out to a full dinner after a long day exploring. The living area is a comfortable spot to wind down for the evening with cable TV and Netflix streaming — just log into your own account and you're set. A private washer and dryer and an iron are on hand, which makes longer stays easy and keeps your suitcase light. Two bedrooms and one full bathroom accommodate up to four guests comfortably. This is a home that works well for couples looking for a romantic getaway, a pair of friends visiting Portland together, or solo travelers who want more space and privacy than a hotel room. The real standout is the outdoor space. The furnished back patio is your private retreat — soak in the hot tub after a day of hiking, fire up the gas grill for a backyard dinner, or just settle into a chair with a drink and enjoy the quiet. On warm evenings, the patio becomes the best room in the house. When the weather turns cooler, central air conditioning and a space heater keep the indoors comfortable year-round. Location is one of this cottage's biggest strengths. Washington Park is less than five miles away, putting the Oregon Zoo, Hoyt Arboretum, the Portland Japanese Garden, and the International Rose Test Garden all within a short drive. Pittock Mansion and Forest Park — one of the largest urban forests in the country — are equally close for hiking, trail running, and panoramic views of the city. Downtown Portland is roughly fifteen minutes east, where you'll find Powell's City of Books, the Pearl District, the Hawthorne District, and the food and drink scene that makes Portland a destination. Beaverton and Washington Square Mall are just to the west for shopping and additional dining. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway to explore Portland, a quiet couples retreat with hot tub evenings, or a home base for hiking the trails at Forest Park and Washington Park, this West Slope cottage delivers comfort and privacy in a location that puts the best of Portland at your doorstep.
