Delightful!
We recently visited family in Portland and used this adorable spot as our home base. We would highly recommend it to others. It's well appointed, cozy and comfortable and our hosts went the extra mile to ensure we had all the extras like beverages in the fridge and makings for coffee/tea/oatmeal in the mornings. This was also just around the corner from many local shops/restaurants and well located for getting to other parts of the city. Loved our time here and definitely hope to stay again in the future!

Fantastic location! Wonderful space!
The nicest tiny home we’ve ever stayed in. It must be a Tardis because it felt way more spacious than it should have. This isn’t the typical, cookie cutter, IKEA styled VRBO. This is a unique, custom space. Location was amazing!

Comfortable and Cozy
Martha's and Roger's little tiny house was comfortable, cozy, and well laid out for a such small space. They thought of little details to make us feel right at home. We arrived to be welcomed to a couple of local beers in the fridge and frosty mugs in the freezer as well as local coffee and tea in the mornings. And we enjoyed the patio table for eating meals with the beautiful weather. Martha was very helpful offering recommendations for places to eat and places to go and we enjoyed our stay. We highly recommend staying here!

The Perfect Spot in Portland!
It is as good as the reviews say it is!!!! 5 stars for space, cleanliness, location, communicative hosts, etc. I had never been to Portland before and this was the perfect place for all I needed. The location is exceptional, with fabulous restaurants in walking distance, it’s safe & clean with plenty of room to rest, relax and work if necessary. I highly recommend staying in the tiny house - as a lively base for exploration!

Quaint tiny home in a perfect location!
Absolutely loved my stay at this tiny home. It was spacious and comfortable, located in a nice quiet and safe neighborhood. Best of all, it's steps away from some really amazing restaurants! Hosts were amazing and so friendly and stocked the kitchen with amenities like coffee, tea, a couple of packets of oatmeal, and some drinks in the fridge. So generous and welcoming! Can't wait to come back and stay again!

Ye old tiny house is perfectly placed for visiting Portland. It is cute, functional, wonderfully quiet, and just steps from bars and restaurants. As a plus sized person I wondered about a tiny house but this is a full size space with every comfort. We will return!

A unique and fun place to stay
We were very happy with our decision to stay here, giving us a fun taste of what tiny house living could be like. The quirky decor was endlessly fascinating, the bed was comfortable, and the shower was soothing. We kept the space cool at night for sleeping, and then used the heat pump to warm it up quickly in the morning (we're big fans of heat pumps, and have one at home). One minor quibble would be with the space-saving high chairs in the eating area, which were uncomfortable to sit in for any length of time (especially when using the area as a desk while using our laptop). The location is also very convenient, with a good choice of restaurants nearby, and groceries also groceries available a short walk away.

Excellent stay--highly recommend
This tiny house was a great place to stay. A lot of thought was put into the extras available for guests to use. Because of their thoughtfulness, my husband and I were able to have a nice picnic on a blanket complete with wicker basket. I was also able to continue my Pilates 21-day challenge on an exercise mat, instead of the hard floor or ground at a nearby park. Staying in Roger and Martha's tiny house was aces. I highly recommend.
