Chrysalis' Cottage is our "go to" home in Portland. It is beautifully maintained and has everything we need. Each time we come, I notice improvements. It's comfy, cozy, and self-contained. Chrysalis and Mark are available when we need help. It's close to our kids who live in Woodstock and the neighbourhood is super cool and fun.

Well...I had to email her on my way to check in because she never sent me the code. I opened the gate and the yard was overgrown and stuff everywhere. Not a good first impression. The pictures did not show that or I wouldn't have rented it. The keyless box was a little difficult to deal with especially if your hands are full. It's a cute bungalow and very convenient to shops and restaurants but could use a spring cleaning.

This was a really great place to stay! Great part of town next to great restaurants too.The hosts are the nicest you will find anywhere. We didn’t have enough room in the car for our high chair, so they were kind enough to track one down for us so we didn’t have to! Highly recommended it!

Perfect space for couples! Clean, quiet and well-organized. Easy walking distance to great shops and restaurants as well as public transit connections, so car not necessary, but if you do bring one parking is very convenient. Very comfortable bed and fantastic soaking tub! Do be aware if you have mobility issues that it’s a taller step up and over than a standard bathtub. Hosts have put a grab rail in place to help.

I totally enjoyed my stay at this property. The rental was very clean and the kitchen had every appliance one could possibly need. I stayed 10 days so the washer and dryer were a plus.The property is located in a very walkable neighborhood with plenty of stores and restaurants just blocks away. I would definitely stay here again when visiting my daughter in Portland.

This was our second time staying here and we enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It was very clean and comfortable. Our daughter and her family live close by so the location is great for us. Chrysalis was great in responding to our questions. Our only issue was that the television sound and picture are not very good.

Nice VRBO cottage in backyard of hosts. The cottage is well maintained and stocked with all of the essentials. The hosts are wonderful: friendly, helpful and responsive. My wife and I stay at many SE Portland VRBOs while visiting our grandson and we highly recommended this one.

Nice kitchen!

Had lots of amenities. Washer and dryer full kitchen. Clean bathroom. It is on ground level unlike art of units in Portland. Many are basement apartments. Nice space. The living room isn’t great. Futon for a couch, one chair and a very small Tv. We weren’t in the unit that much but do like to music or watch tv at the end of the day.

A Refuge and a Respite

A beautiful home away from home. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom spacious, the kitchen modern and well-equipped. It had everything we needed including privacy, proximity to New Seasons Natural Grocery Store, Safeway, restaurants, hardware store, and our grandkids! A heat pump kept the space warm for us and will also cool it down in the summer. Chrysalis and Mark were responsive to our inquiries and ready to help when needed. Her kids occasionally played in the yard between the house and the cottage which I found delightful.
