Such a great location in a fun neighborhood. Felt right at home. Wish we had a longer stay!

What a wonderful place to stay in Portland! Close to so much, felt very safe, the place was spotless, very cozy and had so much to offer guests! Parking was never a problem on the street, host was communicative and friendly... nothing but great things to say! The place is also nestled in the back of the property, making it feel private. Will definitely consider returning!

We loved staying in this tiny house! It was in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of street parking (which was kind of hard to find in other areas). The house was just like the pictures and had all the basics we needed for the few days we were being tourists in Portland. It was unique, modern and comfortable (heat, easy to get around, good amenities). Great place to relax, unwind and warm up after a long day of exploring. Also very close (walking distance or a very short drive) to several restaurants, breweries/bars and coffee shops. Grand Central Bakery is delicious!

This tiny house is great! The decor and vibe is very cozy. The location is great too. It's, right around the corner from Mississippi Ave, which is an amazing neighborhood with great shops, restaurants, and bars. I'd happily recommend this tiny house to anyone visiting Portland.

AMAZING location and space. Had such a great time exploring Portland from this Airbnb.


Discover a unique, custom-built tiny home with a big feel. The residence features an open-plan layout, a mezzanine bedroom, rustic wood finishes, industrial accents, cathedral ceilings, and access to a shared garden patio with a BBQ.

Low cleaning fee & easy, low-key checkout. No stress! Close to action in fun Mississippi district, yet quiet & private. Self check-in. Close-in to downtown & Convention Ctr.

As seen in “best of portland airbnb” online reviews: wheatlesswanderlust, roadaffair, & bridgesandballoons.

We hope you enjoy your stay with us, & we are very much looking forward to hosting you!

**********************************************

The Mississippi Smalls - Lemon Door Loft is our modern / industrial / rustic take on a tiny home with a luxe spirit, & a personal & economical alternative to staying in a hotel/motel in the city. Located in the heart of the eclectic & Historic Mississippi District & boasting a Walker's Paradise 91 & Biker's Paradise 93 score, the micro-lofts are sure to deliver a unique experience in custom designed, space efficient housing & convenient access to some of Portland's hottest spots, just steps away!

Tranquil, meditative, efficient, green-friendly environments, which combine both comfort & practicality in a 320 square foot-print; the open, vaulted, light-filled space will make them seem much bigger than they are. They are appointed with everything you need whether you are visiting PDX for a few days or for an extended stay.

Our inspiration was born out of our love for efficient & well-crafted spaces. We've pooled the considerable talents of friends, artists & local crafts-people to design, construct & finish out the micro-lofts.

Our experiences touring as Musicians for many years, travels around the world, participating in Burning Man & our deep local roots all influence the vibe of the space. Wherever possible, we have reclaimed, repurposed, up-cycled, & recycled objects & materials & incorporated them into the design & function of the building & surrounding space.

Each unit is also a completely separate & standalone building. The micro lofts share a garden, bamboo rustling in the breeze, ready to fire grill & fully landscaped yard. Perfect for reflecting, bbq'ing, reading, relaxing, happy-houring or whatever your heart desires. ENJOY!

Charming, clean, cozy place to stay!
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here! Very clean and charming. And the hosts are exceptional: kind, attentive, and happy to answer any questions you have. Easy walking distance to many restaurants. Great breakfast at Gravy (portions are huuge), delicious sandwiches at Grand Central Bakery, and really enjoyed the pizza at Life of Pie, and the donuts at Blue Star. I’ve wanted to visit the PNW for a long time (we’re from Ohio), and have long thought it’d be a beautiful place to live. Happy to finally get to run in its woods amidst the big, beautiful trees and ferns. Parking at Pittock mansion was a great access point to Forest Park, where I ran on the Wildwood trail. Great path with lots of ups and downs. We also enjoyed railbiking at Mt Hood, and the open air train ride at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center. We unfortunately ran out of time to visit the Japanese Gardens. Highly recommend staying at the yellow house unit, it was the perfect place to stay! God bless you.🙏 -David and Kim
