Lovely spot in beautiful neighborhood
This is just a great spot. This was our second stay there and we'll be back again next year. Lill is a fantastic host, very thoughtful and generous, even offering to share home-made treats, or figs from her tree. Getting around Portland is easy from this quiet, picturesque neighborhood. 5 stars!

This is a well-maintained and beautifully decorated cottage, very comfortable! Restaurants and grocery stores were a short drive away. We very much enjoyed walking in the nearby park. Our host was very gracious and helpful! We hope to stay again in the future!

a home away from home!
The Zen Cottage was the tranquil oasis we needed after a taxing air travel to Portland during the global IT outage. We were delayed 24 hours but communication with host was easy and check-in was organized and efficient. The cottage is exactly as it is described and pictured: CLEAN, well appointed, and comfortable. The host has thought of everything you might need (or forget) while traveling. The bed and sofa bed were comfortable; the kitchen was organized and had anything you might need; and the bathroom was equally equipped with shampoos and shower gels and lots of towels. Did I mention clean? It is immaculate! The neighborhood was quiet and well situated to the areas we were visiting. We will return for sure. Thank you Zen Cottage for a wonderful stay!

Visiting our son
We have quite a bit of experience staying at VRBO properties and this one ranks right near the top. Extremely clean, perfect size, well appointed, and just the right amount of communication with the property host. The bed was comfortable, the water pressure was great and the unit had everything you could need. We highly recommend this property.

Weekend stay at the Zen Cottage
My partner and I loved our stay at Lill’s zen cottage. Lill is an excellent host who was available and quick to answer questions when needed. She was quite helpful and close by, but we accessed the home without meeting her and we never felt our space was imposed upon. The home is well appointed, comfortable, and peaceful. The listing is accurate. The location was great- we were able to get anywhere we wanted to go with ease. Being able to walk to the park was a nice bonus. All in all 10/10, will stay here again when next in Portland!

Wonderful cottage in great area
We came into town to tour colleges for my son’s spring break and this rental was perfect for us. Very accessible from the airport and in a very safe, walkable neighborhood. Great restaurants nearby and all of the amenities you would need for a getaway - full kitchen and laundry are a plus! Lili is a wonderful host - very accessible and onsite in the event of any problems, though our stay was perfect and without any issues with the property. Thanks again for everything!

Alberta Sanctuary
I had a wonderful, peaceful, rejuvenating time. It was the perfect location for me, access to the city, restuarants, shops, grocery store and nearby parks. The kitchen was well stocked. The only thing I would note is that the bed is incredibly SOFT, so be aware if you like a firmer mattress...

We spent 2 weeks at this ideally situated property in late October. Inside is clean, modern, tastefully furnished and accessorized with so many extras to meet every need. The location is almost adjacent to a beautiful park, yet within easy reach of choice restaurants and unique shops. Superior host will make this a memorable stay in Portland.

Peaceful, comfortable stay in a beautiful neighborhood
We loved our stay here! Lill is a wonderful host, she provides everything you could need and more, and is super responsive and nice. I appreciated how clear the instructions in the house manual are, you don't always get that and have to guess or ask questions. My husband and I had just the right amount of space to relax, cook when we felt like it, and have our two adult kids share a meal with us there a couple of times. The bed and bedding are super cozy and comfortable, which we much appreciated too! We will definitely stay here again on future visits. 5 stars!!!

Beautiful, fun and art
A lot of heart and thoughtfulness obviously went into every square foot of the ample 900+ space – a coordinated theme of fun and art. You can expect a neatly well-stocked home, divine bedding (even the pull-out) and joyful views of birds and grand fig trees through kitchen window. On the street, you’ll pass just a handful of houses fronted by careful gardens on your way to indulge in nature at Wilshire Park. The hostess provided a perfect balance of support and privacy – quick to respond to queries, yet never intruding. Often, it’s the little touches that matter – being greeted with my favorite wine, finding her succinct, yet warm and friendly, property manual. Finally, I’m pleased to report that the financial transactions went smoothly even with a change in our dates. Monica

Outstanding Stay!
Lils Zenn Cottage was perfectly set up and expertly decorated for our stay. The personalized treatment and hospitality was amazing and the added bottle of wine on arrival was a very nice touch after a long travel day. The location was perfect and worked well for visiting family and exploring the city. The nearby park provided a great place to walk and relax, and Lil's added cheer with fresh tomatos and offering of banana bread were greatly appreciated. We will be back and we highly recommend this vacation cottage for anyone looking to have a wonderful and relaxing stay in Portland!! Well done Lil!!

Wonderful Stay at the Cottage
Our visit to see our daughter in Portland began and ended at Lil’s wonderful Zen Cottage. It was cozy, spacious, clean and comfortable. She had all the amenities we needed to feel like we were at home. A full size kitchen made cooking easy and the it was a plus not to worry about street parking. The neighborhood has several parks and restaurants nearby, and it was very safe to take an evening stroll. We will definitely be returning on our next visit.

We had a wonderful time in Portland. It was made all the more comfortable and relaxed by this lovely place to stay for two weeks. The host has thought of everything to make the stay stress free and easy for her guests. We were glad to call this place home for a short while. Well equipped kitchen made it possible for us to prepare dinner for guests one evening. Heating and cooling systems worked like a charm for the variable April weather in Portland.
