Tiny Digs - Tiny House Hotel

Portland's quirkiest hotel is an interactive spectacle in the vibrant Kerns neighborhood, where you can be part of the fun.

Tiny Digs is a set of cute little colorful houses with strong and unique identities spread on a site of a former car dealership.

The inspiration for the concept comes from the tiny house movement, which is about downsizing living spaces to focus on what's essential.

The architectural and social movement advocates a simpler way of living without sacrificing the important things in life.

It's a logical answer to housing problems, affordability, and ecological concerns. Considering how much space is wasted in our homes, an intelligent layout can work miracles.

Tiny Digs tiny houses is a cheerful communal living experiment. Although it's a hotel, it promotes the micro-house movement by allowing you to experience it before committing to move into a community built around this concept.

So, "go big or go home" suddenly became "go small and... have fun!"

Cottage Tiny House

The hotel's 12 compact houses on wheels can each host two to four people.

Some have two floors with staircases; some are loft-style, so you can choose what fits you best.

Barn Tiny House

You will be surprised to see how much these small wooden structures can fit.

All of them are equipped with a kitchen, a dining place, a bedroom, and a bathroom with a shower. There is no compromise on modern comforts either, so there is air conditioning and WiFi.

Arthur Tiny House

Pam Westra, owner, and mastermind behind the project has carefully selected the decorations for each themed house, sometimes taking her two years to find the right ones.

Arthur, the cheerful yellow tiny house, is named after Pam's grandfather, who used to be a big railway fan.

The inspiration for the tiny house comes from train cabooses, so apart from the apparent exterior similarity, you will find relevant details like the conductor's desk or an old kerosine lamp that bring railroad history inside.

Beach Tiny House

Every tiny house has a queen size bed with a comfy mattress.

Thanks to the attentive interior design, the little houses have so much character that you cannot mix up two.

Modern Tiny House

The central ground of the former car dealership is now home to Tiny Digs' hangout space, where you can sit by the fire pit on comfy chairs and discuss the ups and downs of downsizing. If you get bored of talking, you can also play outdoor games, like bean bag tossing and darts.
