Portland has a nationally famous food scene with several James Beard awarded chefs, many who were attracted here due to the proximity of Oregon produce and wines, seafood, wild mushrooms and truffles. Portland cuisine came early to the farm to-table movement and the craft beer movement. Being just south of Seattle, the home of the flagship Starbuck's coffee shop, and with a similar rainy winter climate, we have many fine neighborhood coffee havens. Powell's City of Books in the Pearl District is a whole city block with multiple floors, and comes with a map available at the entrances, which is fitting for the city of the most avid readers in the country. There are concerts and plays going on almost every weekend, outdoors in the summer, with several annual waterfront festivals downtown, notably the Rose Festival in June. Portland has a temperate climate similar to England which fosters lovely public gardens and arguably the favorite hobby of its suburban residents. The Portland Japanese Garden, the LanSu Chinese Garden, the International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park, Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden and Elk Rock Garden are must-sees for garden lovers. The Oregon Zoo and OMSI with its IMAX theatre are favorites of children and those who bring them. The Blazers basketbal team and the Timbers and Thorns soccer teams have avid loyal followers; the Thorns have won the NWSL championship a record 3 times, the Blazers won the NBA chamionship once. At 5200 acres Forest Park next to downtown is one of the largest city parks in the US, showcasing a lovely Pacific Northwest ecosystem, creeks and 80 miles of trails.

Summary: Mossy Cobbles is a quiet cottage on the end of a street. The property backs up to a nature/bike path. There are things to walk to, but there is also much to offer in the place itself. It was a great spot to slow down, enjoy the lovely garden, and watch spring unfold.

Summary: This is truly a hidden gem in the Portland area. A private cottage off the beaten path. This is a perfect getaway for a single/couple. Good parking. Close to Trader Joes and other retail stores/restuarants. Highway access is easy as well. There is a trail one can hop on for walking/jogging immediately behind property. Bedroom is a loft with comfy queen bed. Well stocked kitchen for meal prep with cozy eating/tv area. WiFi available. Deborah is an excellent host. We are looking forward to return trips in the future.

Summary: Mossy Cobbles is a cozy little cottage tucked into a lovingly tended garden. It is easy to forget a TraderJoes is right down the street and believe you are miles away from civilization. When I wasn’t outside enjoying the gardens or community walkway conveniently adjacent, time was spent in the lovely window seat soaking in the trees and falling leaves like a proper forest bather. Add in the Italian style shower, a very comfortable bed and hosts with kind attention to detail, including fresh flowers and spelling my name correctly, and the temptation to never leave was real. So enjoyed my time here Deborah and John! Thank you again for sharing.

Summary: Deborah and John were outstanding hosts. Walking trails right behind the property. Green and secluded and just 13 minutes from the zoo. Heads up, the bed is up in the loft, no doors between you and the ground floor!
