About this cottage rental
**Over 500 5 Star reviews on other sites - first time listed on VRBO!** But don't take our word for it - explore some recent ones: February 2023 Kerri Ann Such a great location in a fun neighborhood. Felt right at home. Wish we had a longer stay! Ashley January 2023 This spot is a gem! Fabulous location and just a quick walk to some great bars, restaurants, and the best donuts we’ve ever had! The loft is lovely. Looked just like the pictures with plenty of amenities to make us feel right at home. Heather and Topher were available for anything we needed and made our stay effortless. We’ll be back for sure! January 2023 Keren 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! January 2023 Russell 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. January 2023 Morgan 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! ***If this unit is booked - please see also the Lemon Door MicroLoft on the same property, separate listing*** ***Both units Lemon Door & Blue Door may be booked together so you can bring a larger group & still each have your own privacy! The units are virtually identical except the floorplans are flipped.*** The Mississippi Smalls - Blue 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! • HOUSE MANUAL/HOUSE RULES: Please read over the house manual & house rules upon booking.

Everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. Location was great for getting around Portland to explore, but having a quiet place to go back to within walking distance of lots of little shops and dining. House was clean and well-stocked with essentials. Parking was super easy. Although we didn’t need it, they did provide a pack-n-play for travelling with our infant. AC was a huge bonus as were there during a heatwave midsummer. Highly recommend! Super cute space with all the things you could need for a short or long stay.

This is the perfect little house within walking distance of everything on Mississippi. It was well stocked with basic necessities and made the Stu really comfortable. And for the nature lovers- it’s central to every good hiking spot / hot springs / the coast. Would definitely love to stay again!

Perfect cottage for the 2 of us not a full kitchen but just enough for morning coffee and a bagel. Amazing restaurants right around the corner on Mississippi St. Easy drive to other Portland attractions and to see all the waterfalls on the Columbia River. Great place to start before experiencing the Willamette Valley and the Coast. Heather was a great communicator and made sure we had everything we needed and to reach out with any questions. Truly a home way from home!
