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!

***If this unit is booked - please see also the Blue Door MicroLoft on the same property, separate listing #3182164***

***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 - 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!

Magical Tiny Home, Close to EVERYTHING
We absolutely adored our time at the Lemon Door Loft. There were so many excellent things to do in the neighborhood, and the opening staff at the bakery at the end of the block definitely got to know us. The tiny house was the perfect size for a week+ stay in Portland.
