About this property

Mossy Cobbles: Romantic Cottage in a Wooded Setting

Mossy cobbles is a small shingled cottage-in-the-woods, with an exceptional seasonal garden. It sits next to the Fanno Creek Trail, a 4.5 mile walking and bicycling trail in the community of Garden Home. The path from the driveway is lined with automatic lights every night. Cozy warmth is provided by radiant heating in the exposed aggregate floor, and summers are air-conditioned. Every window looks out onto greenery.

The windowseat with integral reading lights can sleep one person, and is a wall of glass, lined with pillows and a lace privacy drape. The kitchen, fully outfitted for your culinary dallying, has quartz composite counters and casement windows looking out onto a Belgian cobblestone patio. The bathroom, tiled floor to ceiling, includes a European style walk-in shower, and both ceiling and hand-held shower heads.

Note: There is a 20% discount for Mossy Cobbles guests who stay one month or more. For guests staying 31 days or longer, Washington County provides an exemption on its 9% transient lodging tax, but requires a standard Oregon rental contract. Please ask if you need help.

We were a VRBO Super Host, oerational from 2007 to 2021, and looked forward to hosting again beginning in 2024. Guests will find a new bed, new upholstery, new leather easy chairs and extensive landscape changes including wrought iron entry fencing. Here are some comments from our previous guestbook:
-''The front door is a gateway to enchantment. Being here has been like...waking up in a magical oasis."
-''We've been very comfortable in the Mossy Cobbles cottage which is well-equipped and beautifully designed. What a unique bathroom...we loved it! Nestled in its woodland setting, the cottage was always warm, inviting, and relaxing to return to each day.''
-''The cottage is lovely and I really enjoyed the peace and beautiful surroundings.''
-''Thank you for the beautiful cottage. I really felt at home. It is so lovely and peaceful.''
-“This is magical”
-“I want to live here”.
-"I haven't slept so well in months."

cozy, comfortable, nature in the city
I loved my stay, I enjoyed walking the trail behind the place each day, and loved the surrounding garden. And I easily worked remotely each day.

A Relaxing Garden Retreat
Beautiful greenery and flowers all around you while relaxing on the front deck. Awesome trails behind the Cottage with flowers and giant pines. A very clean pleasant place to stay. The owner was very nice and accommodating. She surprised me with a recipe to take home and try, We really enjoyed our stay.

Magical cabin in the woods
Over the 4 months my partner and I stayed here, we fell in love with the neighborhood, the nearby trail, the beautiful garden, and this cozy home. The location is perfect, feeling secluded but still close to the city. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the place had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Deborah is so welcoming and communicative and all-around an excellent host. If you are staying in the Portland area, we cannot recommend this place enough!

Leaving engaged
Very cozy and hidden, while also being right near all you need. My girlfriend and I stayed here for 5 nights and couldn’t have asked for a better location. It was the perfect size for the two of us and we had everything we needed right in the cottage. We even got engaged while we were on our trip, making this a vacation to remember. Thank you for everything!
