The Neighborhood:
Follow the Willamette River south, past Portland State University and Lewis & Clark College, and you’ll eventually reach the sylvan hills of Lake Oswego. In the early days — back when it was a humble assemblage of iron smelters, lumberyards and homesteaders — travelers could only reach Lake Oswego via the lazy river or bumpy dirt roads. Perhaps that’s why, though only 20 minutes from downtown Portland, the city still feels a world away.
Built along the Lake Oswego shoreline, the historic Lake Theater and Cafe has been showing movies since 1940 and recently expanded to offer a full bar, café menu and live music. For a post-flick drink, sample a flight of brews at adjacent Stickmen Brewing Company, where an enticing outdoor patio hovers over the shimmering lake.
If you’re in town on Sunday, be sure to visit the picturesque Oswego Hills Vineyard and Winery for a complimentary wine tasting. Perched atop a grassy hill, the vineyard offers sweeping views of the surrounding area, including Luscher Farms, an urban farm-cum-park with walking paths and gardening plots. Walk the 4.4 mile (7 km) loop through the farm and over Cook’s Butte, keeping an eye out for blackberries when they’re in season.
If you prefer to stroll through downtown, the Arts Council of Lake Oswego organizes a walking tour of its Gallery Without Walls, a collection of over 60 sculptures scattered about town. Or wander around Millennium Park, the site of Lake Oswego’s cheery farmers’ market spring through fall, and outdoor movies and concerts in the summer.
One of the most city’s most popular attractions, the loamy Lake Oswego Public Golf Course features a cheery creek meandering through its 18 holes, as well as gorgeous views of Mount St. Helens and Mount Adams. To explore the tree-shrouded hills of Lake Oswego via the many miles of pathways the city has created, take advantage of Lakeside Bicycles’ bike rental program or allow the family-run business to fit you for your very own dream cycle.
Getting Around:
Approx. 30 min from the PDX Airport, 20 min from Downtown Portland and 10-15 min from Tigard, West Linn and SW Portland/Beaverton area. The cottage is .3 miles from the Lake Oswego Transit Center. Trimet can take you anywhere in the city, and is a quick way to get downtown. The Max is another great option that you can get to starting with the bus. This location is also incredibly bike-friendly and a walkable neighborhood. Safe well-lit streets and sidewalks make it a great neighborhood to explore on foot. It has a bike score of 76 and a walk score of 82! There is a single cruiser bike at the property and you are welcome to ride at your own risk. We cannot guarantee regular maintenance but there is a bike shop downtown that can do a quick flat repair if needed. There are also Portland Bike Town bikes throughout the city that can easily be rented if you prefer to explore the city on bike.

Summary: The cottage is very clean and bright and pet friendly. I loved the large fenced in yard and the convenience of having a washer/dryer. Fabulous neighborhood. Grocery/coffee/library/hiking trail all are just a few blocks away.

Summary: We were flying in on separate planes and times, yet they made it extremely difficult to get the check in information to the other person joining The appliances are extremely obsolete, broken and noisy. The door handle came off every time we used it The dryer even had a sign on it saying that you have to manually turn it to get it to work

Summary: The property was nice, but the front lawn area was covered with stones and not usable. The interior was fine, with coffee and little nicities provided. The place was only 650 square feet which should have been listed. Seemed larger since the listing indicated that it slept 6 people. The check in the day before was cumbersome, unlike any other VRBO check ins. You also had to upload your driver's license or other "government identification". I didn't know how to do that and an email indicated that the host would not be able to give me check in information without it. I spent an excessive amount of time with this process and it created alot of stress right before the trip, as I had many other things to do. The host really did not want to work with me on resolution, I have rented many places through VRBO and would not rent this one again. Also they would not give check in instructions until 2 hours before check in. It all seemed unreasonable to my husband and I.

Summary: We stayed 2 nights and found the cottage to be very comfortable and well appointed. The neighborhood is very lovely and safe. We enjoyed walking our dog there in the mornings. There are many restaurants to walk to and a very good Farmer’s Market on Saturdays. It was a little strange in that the cottage was on the back of a lot off an alley. The front of the lot did not have a house (consistent with the rest of the neighborhood) and a large tree had been cut down and the debris was still in piles in the yard but I am sure they will have that cleared out soon since the place was so well kept. The other thing was there was a strong smell that I’m pretty sure was cleaning products. I appreciate a clean rental and it was clean. But the odor was very strong. Fortunately there were a lot of windows that we opened and it dissipated after about 24 hours.

Summary: It’s hard to find a VRBO that will take 2 dogs, but the Honey Bee delivered!

Summary: Very convenient location. Close to downtown. However, there was an extremely loud AC unit in bedroom, and neighboring barking dogs morning and evening. No ironing board, even though this is listed as an amenity. When I complained, the agent just said "Sorry!" First place with a kitchen that I've ever stayed in that lacked salt & pepper.

Summary: I love this little cottage. I've stayed here twice now. I travel to LO for business a few times a year and want to be close to town, so I can walk to the grocery store, restaurants and even the office over by Whole Foods. It's quiet, clean and the host is very responsive.
