We loved our stay at Zen Cottage. We had everything we needed, the place was very neat and clean. We had great communication with the owner and it was in the perfect location for us. The neighborhood was very safe.
We come to Portland often to visit our son and this place is one of the best. Clean, cozy and a great location. Easy to get everywhere and good for walking. The kitchen has everything one would need. Great place. Would definitely stay here again.
This is a well-maintained and beautifully decorated cottage, very comfortable! Restaurants and grocery stores were a short drive away. We very much enjoyed walking in the nearby park. Our host was very gracious and helpful! We hope to stay again in the future!
We so enjoyed the cottage and the host!
It is beautiful, spacious and peaceful, located close to restaurants and shops. We liked all that the cottage had to offer to make the stay comfortable, welcoming and convenient. So well equipped, if we hadn’t been visiting family, we might not have left!
Everything was as promised. Just about everything you would ever need for a stay was there, modern and comfortable. I might have sworn I was the first to stay there. Loved it!
We add reserved a different VRBO for our stay, but that one cancelled us due to a water leak. Fortunately, we were able to book this one on short notice. We had stayed there before. It is a very nice place for a couple. Very clean and well stocked. The host is very responsive and accommodating.
We really enjoyed this space, it had everything you could need and then some. The neighborhood is the best one in Portland and you can walk to so many things. It is nice and quiet and clean. Would definitely stay here again and plan to next time we are in Portland.
We enjoyed another delightful stay at the Zen Cottage that has become our Go To place for visits to Portland. This haven in a peaceful and walkable neighborhood is so close to a beautiful park while giving easy access to restaurants and shopping. The host, Lil, anticipates guests' every need! Hope to return soon.
We have quite a bit of experience staying at VRBO properties and this one ranks right near the top. Extremely clean, perfect size, well appointed, and just the right amount of communication with the property host. The bed was comfortable, the water pressure was great and the unit had everything you could need. We highly recommend this property.
We spent 2 weeks at this ideally situated property in late October. Inside is clean, modern, tastefully furnished and accessorized with so many extras to meet every need. The location is almost adjacent to a beautiful park, yet within easy reach of choice restaurants and unique shops. Superior host will make this a memorable stay in Portland.
I had a wonderful, peaceful, rejuvenating time. It was the perfect location for me, access to the city, restuarants, shops, grocery store and nearby parks. The kitchen was well stocked. The only thing I would note is that the bed is incredibly SOFT, so be aware if you like a firmer mattress...
We came into town to tour colleges for my son’s spring break and this rental was perfect for us. Very accessible from the airport and in a very safe, walkable neighborhood. Great restaurants nearby and all of the amenities you would need for a getaway - full kitchen and laundry are a plus!
Lili is a wonderful host - very accessible and onsite in the event of any problems, though our stay was perfect and without any issues with the property.
Thanks again for everything!
Lils Zenn Cottage was perfectly set up and expertly decorated for our stay. The personalized treatment and hospitality was amazing and the added bottle of wine on arrival was a very nice touch after a long travel day. The location was perfect and worked well for visiting family and exploring the city. The nearby park provided a great place to walk and relax, and Lil's added cheer with fresh tomatos and offering of banana bread were greatly appreciated. We will be back and we highly recommend this vacation cottage for anyone looking to have a wonderful and relaxing stay in Portland!! Well done Lil!!
My partner and I loved our stay at Lill’s zen cottage. Lill is an excellent host who was available and quick to answer questions when needed. She was quite helpful and close by, but we accessed the home without meeting her and we never felt our space was imposed upon.
The home is well appointed, comfortable, and peaceful. The listing is accurate. The location was great- we were able to get anywhere we wanted to go with ease. Being able to walk to the park was a nice bonus. All in all 10/10, will stay here again when next in Portland!
Peaceful, comfortable stay in a beautiful neighborhood
We loved our stay here! Lill is a wonderful host, she provides everything you could need and more, and is super responsive and nice. I appreciated how clear the instructions in the house manual are, you don't always get that and have to guess or ask questions. My husband and I had just the right amount of space to relax, cook when we felt like it, and have our two adult kids share a meal with us there a couple of times. The bed and bedding are super cozy and comfortable, which we much appreciated too! We will definitely stay here again on future visits. 5 stars!!!
The Zen Cottage was the tranquil oasis we needed after a taxing air travel to Portland during the global IT outage. We were delayed 24 hours but communication with host was easy and check-in was organized and efficient. The cottage is exactly as it is described and pictured: CLEAN, well appointed, and comfortable. The host has thought of everything you might need (or forget) while traveling. The bed and sofa bed were comfortable; the kitchen was organized and had anything you might need; and the bathroom was equally equipped with shampoos and shower gels and lots of towels. Did I mention clean? It is immaculate! The neighborhood was quiet and well situated to the areas we were visiting. We will return for sure. Thank you Zen Cottage for a wonderful stay!
A lot of heart and thoughtfulness obviously went into every square foot of the ample 900+ space – a coordinated theme of fun and art. You can expect a neatly well-stocked home, divine bedding (even the pull-out) and joyful views of birds and grand fig trees through kitchen window. On the street, you’ll pass just a handful of houses fronted by careful gardens on your way to indulge in nature at Wilshire Park.
The hostess provided a perfect balance of support and privacy – quick to respond to queries, yet never intruding. Often, it’s the little touches that matter – being greeted with my favorite wine, finding her succinct, yet warm and friendly, property manual.
Finally, I’m pleased to report that the financial transactions went smoothly even with a change in our dates.

This was one of our favorite stays ever! The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked, the space was cozy and comfortable—perfect for my husband and me. The location couldn’t be better: peaceful, beautifully situated for getting around Portland, and just a short stroll to the lovely nearby park. Lill is an exceptional host, and I’ll be hoping this place is available every time we come to Portland.
