The Tiny Digs Hotel in NE Portland might just become your favorite {tiny} home away from home - perfect for a vacation, staycation, girls' weekend, or getaway.
Tiny Digs is located on NE Glisan, a block or so off 28th and the "most delicious half-mile" in Portland. The hotel is collection of six custom-built, individually-styled tiny houses, ranging from a traditional red clapboard barn to an airy beach house to a Romany traveling wagon. (There are plans to expand to thirteen tiny homes in coming years.) Each one runs about $145 a night ($155 on weekends), and is fully furnished, including a queen-size bed, fold-out couch that doubles as "living room" seating, sink, shower, flushing toilet, light cooking options, and a small attached deck.
The tiny house we stayed in - one of the very smallest of the tiny homes that make up Tiny Digs - was designed and decorated as a colorful, bohemian-themed Romany carriage. Like all the other rooms at the Tiny Digs Hotel, the "Gypsy Wagon" was all about the details. Our tiny home was filled with striking, carefully chosen textural elements: from the wall paper to the beautiful hand-painted furniture, everything was such delight for the senses!
The beds in all of the Tiny Digs "rooms" are outfitted with luxury linens, and let me tell you - they are very comfortable! Tiny Digs also supplies guests with comfy, plush bathrobes, and a nice selection of teas. The small cooking area includes a mini-fridge and toaster oven.
A couple of things to note: as of this date, none of the current dwellings at Tiny Digs are ADA mobility complaint [due to the small number of "rooms" at this time, compliance is not required], but the owners confirm that handicapped-accessible tiny houses are part of their future plan. Also, the WiFi was very slow the weekend we stayed. I don't know if this was a temporary issue, or longer term, but in any event, don't go there planning to get work done: this is a place to relax, kick back, and enjoy the one you're with.
When we arrived at Tiny Digs for our staycation, my husband and I made a conscious decision to park our car and not move it all weekend, just to see how much we could see and do without driving. We had no problem whatsoever getting around. Tiny Digs is located just a few minutes' walk from hip, artsy, NE 28th Avenue and Portland's renowned "Restaurant Row," and just a few more minutes to E Burnside and the Laurelhurst Theater. You will definitely have plenty of things to do!
Overall, we loved our stay at Tiny Digs, and have already made plans to go there again. I highly recommend that you check it out!
