Lovely. If I had to choose a word to describe our stay it would be "Lovely". We had been watching a lot of HGTV and wanted to try out a tiny home to see if it were a possibility in our future. Lucky for us, we had such opportunity to test it out!

The curb appeal was amazing as it was surrounded by a garden and a beautiful flower-filled bush. I'm no horticulturist, so forgive me if it isn't a bush. Inside was wonderful and homey. It had so much character and life inside of it with all the necessary amenities and more. The "and more" includes teas, coffee and a french press, hard-boiled eggs, oatmeal, an electric tea kettle, plenty of soaps and lotions to make yourself smell like Whole Foods, and flowers to bring the life from the outside in. Although a small space, the way everything was laid out made the "rooms" feel like it had a defined space. Such as, the living area was the living area, and the bedroom was the bedroom. Th bed is a full-size bed with plenty of pillows, sheets, etc. Fairly comfy, as we slept in for two of the days. There is a window a/c unit and a little heater for the tiny home. It all worked wonderfully. We enjoyed opening up a window, however and letting the breeze inside. We never felt too cramped up at all with all the windows surrounding. There's real plumbing, so no composting toilet to those who know about tiny homes and are afraid of them. The hot water is a 4 gallon tank so it will run out after a 5-10minute shower, but just give it 15-30minutes and it should be back up. There is a provided hotplate, but it wasn't necessary with all the food in Portland.

Speaking of location, it is tucked away from all the touristy stuff so no traffic and even no traffic on the way back to the airport either in the morning, so that was great. It is near an elementary school, but for some reason doesn't get any traffic and there isn't really any noise heard. Maybe the bed was too comfy again and we slept through it, but being near a school was never a hindrance for us. There are plenty of places to eat nearby and it was easy getting to the Gorge for our waterfall hikes. Parking was plentiful on the street, right out in front. Trader Joes is also right down the street and there are other convenient stores around as well if you forgot anything.

Communication with Becca and Jonny were excellent. They were communicative before and during the entire stay. They live right next door and even bumped into Jonny and their children outside and chatted for a bit. They're a wonderful family to meet if you happen to have the opportunity. Ah, and I do like the convenience of checking in/out whenever because of the lockbox.
