Foster Cottage: furnished, short-term rental perfect for anyone traveling for work or looking for a temporary situation. Rent includes all utilities, dedicated wi-fi, and yard care. Available starting October 13, 2025.

This sweet little 1949 cottage is sunny, clean and cozy. I am staying with extended family renting out my house while Im gone. Youll find a comfortable, well-stocked space with everything you need to feel at home.

Location: Foster-Powell Neighborhood. My house is in a very unique pocket neighborhood of Portland, Foster-Powell. Its quiet, tree-filled, and residential with great neighbors. Its walkable to all the unique shops on Foster Ave: note the recently open St. Francis ice cream shop!

Travel time: Close to public transportation (Walkable to Bus #17 (Holgate Blvd.) and all busses on Foster Avenue).

Close to Hospitals: - Providence Portland Medical Center: 2.96 miles - Providence Milwaukie Hospital: 3.41 miles - Kaiser Sunnyside Medical Center: 4.17 miles - Providence Immediate Care - Gateway: 4.3 miles - Adventist Health Urgent Care - Parkrose: 5.6 miles - OHSU Hospital: 6.4 miles - Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center: 7.8 miles

Storage: The small space has two wardrobes and two closets for storage, plus two buffet units, a Wood Castle Secretary, and a Wood Castle dresser.

Climate control: New whole-house insulation and

Bathroom: the bathroom is small but clean. New auto-sensor humidity fan. On-demand hot water heater. Washer/Dryer on site: The pantry/washer-dryer area is shared. The pantry is separated from the house by a locked door off the kitchen. You might hear Tonya, the cleaning angel, in the laundry room occasionally, and I may be in the pantry on weekends when I come to take care of the yard. But overall it will be very quiet and private.

Fenced back yard: The back yard/garden seating area is also shared with the Foster Cabin rental. However, it is rarely used, so you can assume there will be plenty of privacy and space to eat at the backyard table, or read in the shady, plant-filled garden nook. There is a large iron table and seating in the backyard, an adjustable umbrella, and additional lounge chairs. The backyard is filled with native plants/pollinator habitat, rose bushes, hydrangeas, a 200 year old fir tree, and a friendly maple.

Unfenced Front yard: Another 200 year old fir tree shades the house, and the front steps are a great place to sit and watch the bees.

Parking: Off-street parking in the driveway. Note: driveway is shared with the Foster Cabin rental on the property. There are a total of 3 parking spaces available: you can count on off-street parking always being available.

Additional unit on the property: The converted garage is home to the Foster Cabin rental unit. The Cabin has a separate entrance through the backyard, and there are no shared walls. The only time you might run into Cabin guests would be if youre in the shared backyard space at the same time, or maybe in the driveway. You can expect a quiet and private environment.
