First visit to Lake Oswego

This lovely property was exactly as described and more! Cozy, elegant home in the perfect location, walkable to restaurants, stores and local farmers market. Very relaxing with everything we needed, as if we were guests in someone’s home as opposed to a rental. We will definitely return! Loved it. So many fun walking trails too.

Amazing property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this English cottage. The architecture and the eclectic furnishings are amazing. The house was well stocked and very clean. Mary is a gracious host and recommended excellent restaurants in town and points of interest. The view of the lake from the house is something everyone should experience. Lake Oswego is a great and friendly community. We celebrated my wife’s birthday with our kids and everyone loved our stay. I highly recommend this property.

Delightful stay!

We stayed here for a month while closing on and moving in to our new home nearby. It was such a peaceful place to have while we navigated the chaos of moving. We were actually quite sad to leave! The photos just do not do it enough justice! We felt like we were staying in a friends home; everything was just as one could want and need and so peaceful. A beautiful half mile walk in to the center of town. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Country Home

What a wonderful home! This cottage has a unique blend of old world charm and modern conveniences. Built almost 100 years ago, the house is immaculately preserved. And Mary, the owner, has found a way to remodel the kitchen, baths and A/C to modern standards making for an ideal vacation stay. We enjoyed the patio with its lake views, walks in the lovely neighborhood, and even the occasional train, which did not wake us. This is truly a visit we will cherish. Thanks Mary!

Wonderful retreat!

We had a lovely week at this gem of a property! There was a perfect balance of historic charm and modern amenities to make our stay very comfortable. Luckily, we had great weather while we were there, so we spent quite a bit of time on the serene patio enjoying the view of the lake. Mary was very accessible by phone and responsive to any questions we had. Looking forward to our next stay here!

A first rate experience

We had a wonderful week's stay at this charming home. It is beautifully and, most important, comfortably furnished and decorated. The location was perfect for us and a lovely neighborhood for walks, with restaurants and shops about a mile away. The trains did not bother us at all; in fact, my husband loved them! We will look forward to our next stay.
