The Zen Cottage is cozy, yet modern and bright. We
loved the location, which is walking distance to all
sorts of good things, including the best pizza. Sid and
Anna were great hosts -- helpful and available when
we needed them. |

| My husband and I just returned from our Portland vacation and couldn't be happier. Sid and Anna were wonderful hosts. They offered great suggestions and were just great to chat with about our adventures. The cottage was exceptionally clean with everything you could possibly need. The neighborhood felt very safe. There were many great restaurants and shops nearby. Don't miss the excellent food at Poqui No mexican restaurant. It is worth the wait in line. I would highly recommend the zen cottage to anyone travelling to Portland. Thank you so much Sid and Anna. |

We stayed at the Zen Cottage for several weeks in
May and it was fantastic! First of all the owners, Sid
and Anna, are great, down to earth people who are
happy to accomodate your needs but also respect
your privacy. I had a laundry list of "needs" and they
had everything! Family friendly? ( we stayed with
our 2 year old daughter) Yes. Wifi? Yes. An iron, an
french press coffee maker? Yes,Yes. All of this in an
imaculate, stylish cottage with a full sized kitchen.
We also loved the little things that made it so much
nicer than most places...skylights over your bed,
cool japanese decor, warm bamboo floors,
beautiful tile in the bath and a lovely green garden
outside your door. You should stay here! |

Immediately upon arriving at the Zen Cottage, I was
so excited! Anna was sick, but so nice to let us in
late (it was at least 9:30 PM.) She chatted for a
moment and gave us some tips about the place and
the area. The cottage was so stylish and cozy. My
friend and I slept very well in the bed. The heating
system worked fantastically and we were always
comfortable. Really, there are no complaints! I loved
the view of their garden in the back and also how
easy it was to get to downtown from the bus stop
only a couple blocks away. I really enjoyed the
freedom and the privacy we had staying at the Zen
Cottage. No Housekeeping waking you up at 8AM -
that was definitely a plus in my book! The
neighborhood was quiet and safe. I would
recommend the Zen Cottage anytime and I'm sure
I'll stay there again. Anna and Sid were so nice!
Thank you guys! |

Calm, quiet, understated elegance-that is the Zen
Retreat! My husband and I stayed at this VRBO
during the first week in January and our experience
was delightful. The location of the cottage in
Portland's SE section near Hawthorne was just
perfect. We could walk to many enjoyable
restaurants and coffee bars as well as meander
through the charming quiet residential areas. Our
hosts, Sid and Anna made the process of booking
the cottage painless and they made sure all our
needs were met while we stayed there. I'd highly
recommend the Zen Retreat as a lovely Portland
destination. |

We are so very happy to have found this cozy,
clean, convenient "zen retreat." The space was very
private, serene, and comfortable. Anna and Sid
were super helpful and thought of everything to
make our week-long holiday visit relaxing and fun.
They even mailed us a few forgotten items. Thank
you, Anna and Sid! We'll be back!

My husband and I stayed here on our way from
California to Washington State, and we would return
in a heartbeat. In fact, we plan to! This place is
fantastic! It is a truly modern yet cozy retreat with
everything we needed for a refreshing and
memorable stay, including a comfortable bed, full
kitchen, and nice, clean restroom. The studio has
complete privacy and opens onto a very nice
backyard, making us feel right at home in Portland. |
