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!

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.

Charming, clean, and cozy!

We had an excellent time at this tiny house (which was actually not very tiny! We were pleased that everything was full-sized and didn’t feel cramped at all). It’s clear that it’s run by real people who put thought & care into their guests’ experiences. The location was quiet & perfect for exploring the nearby neighborhood amenities. I would absolutely stay here again & recommend to anyone looking for a cozy stay in Portland.

Love the Ye Ole Tiny House

We spent 5 unforgettable days in the fabulous Ye Ole Tiny House in the heart of the Alberta Arts District. The space was cozy, creative, quiet and perfectly located-but what truly made it special were the incredible hosts, Roger and Martha Warm, thoughtful, and full of great local tips, they made us feel instantly at home. Between the vibrant art, delicious food, and that magical little house, we're already planning our return.

A very unique place in a nice quiet neighborhood. The owners have put a lot of love and thought into the unit, and it was incredibly comfortable for the two of us. We were very close to our son’s home and could easily walk to neighborhood stores and restaurants. We highly recommend!

Happy refuge while visiting family

This tiny house in a sweet neighborhood is behind the owners’ home. It was plenty spacious for the two of us, fully equipped with coffee and some refrigerated drinks provided to get us started. The amenities were lovely. It was quiet, the bed was comfy, the interior lovingly decorated and furnished. Both Roger and Marsha checked in with us through the website each day and welcomed us after our arrival. The Alberta Arts area is fun and lively by mid day. Plenty of great restaurants to explore. Highly recommend this magicl place for a nice getaway while exploring Portland!
