Walking down the gravel path to the tiny house, you are immediately struck by how calming everything is. There's greenery and statues with moss growing on them. When you enter the house, that calming, and restorative aspect extends to the interior as warm woods and fabrics are everywhere you look. The bed was incredibly comfortable. I just wanted to spend all day there, but had to explore the neighborhood, which is in itself, a gem.
It was a warm spring evening on Mississippi Ave. and so I got to engage in the local Portland happy hour scene, where everyone is out walking – ducking in and out of shops, bars, and restaurants. I stopped at Stormbreaker Brewery to drink a New England Style IPA next to their outdoor fire pit, and then ambled around looking at menus till I found something that struck my fancy. Heather & Topher have thoughtfully provided their recommendations, and I wish I had read them more closely, as after dinner I walked past ¿Por qué no?, a local taqueria that had a line around the block!
In short, what a restorative, quiet, and comfortable space. Everything is anticipated and thought through with incredibly communicative hosts, who do their best to make your stay memorable and easy. I'll be going back next time I'm in Portland.
