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!

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.

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.
