If you’re looking for a private Portland getaway, you’ll want to see what this charming tiny floating-home has to offer!

Tour this enchanting little getaway nestled off the bank of the Willamette River, that elevates smarter-living to the next level.

The Portland Oregon Minnows has taken some of the time-honored designs of a boathouse and fused them with the multi-functional composition of a tiny home.

The results are outstanding!

The tiny floating-home is easily accessible by a dock that leads to a cedar wrap-around deck.

Plop down and stick your feet in the water to cool off while you soak up the sun-rays and take in the scenery.

You may even spot a Bald Eagle or Osprey, as the magnificent birds soar through the open skies.

If the sun is too bright, you can easily re-position the shade umbrella for a little al fresco dining, riverside.

The deck comes equipped with two lounge chairs, a small patio dining table with two seats, and a BBQ, so you can make the most of the floating deck no matter what’s on the itinerary!

Trust us, you’re going to want to spend as much time as you can taking in the peaceful river setting and perfect view of the wooded riverbank.

The setting inside is just as gorgeous as on the outside!

Pulling the natural beauty of the river into the flow of the tiny-home, floor-to-ceiling windows allow daylight to stream through and give an open-air vibe to the charming river-cottage.

The windows wrap around two sides of the house, giving you a sweeping panoramic view of the area so you won’t miss a thing!

The decor blends seamlessly with the river view.

The window frames, ceiling, loft and ladder are made of a light Pine that reflects the natural beauty of the surrounding area.

The warm hues of the pine allow the light to bounce off the walls, giving a very outdoor feel to the living-space.

The salmon-pink walls lend to the natural feeling of the tiny-home, making the house seem much larger than it is.

Equipped with a full-size fridge, a toaster, blender and shelf space, you have everything you need to make yourself feel right at home.

Though the home is small, it comes with all of the versatility and efficiency that we’d expect in a modern tiny home.

While many tiny-homes rely solely on appliances, this little getaway comes with a full range stove-top and convection oven.

If that weren’t enough, it also has a microwave, dishwasher, and even a stacked washer and dryer unit, giving you full amenities for your stay.

The bathroom is intelligently placed alongside the laundry area adjacent to the living and kitchen spaces, allowing for a moment or two of privacy when you need it.

A tall vaulted ceiling harnesses the open ambiance of the tiny floating home, making it feel bright, spacious, and airy.

The ceiling fan keeps the fresh air from the river circulating through the house, so it always has a nice, comfortable and refreshing feel to it.

The wise choice in lighting fixtures allow you to swivel the light whichever direction you need, so it’s never too dark in one space.

Don’t worry though, when it’s time for lights out, a cozy loft awaits you!

Please SHARE this with your friends and family.

After ascending the charmingly rustic pine ladder to your loft, a nice queen sized bed with a gorgeous, warm fluffy comforter will be calling your name!

The loft is open to the riverside view of the tiny house, so you can watch the breeze glide over the river as you drift into a peaceful slumber.

Here you can get all the tranquility and beauty the city has to offer, and still be close enough to enjoy the recreational activities, fine-dining, and micro-brew hunting that Portland has waiting for you. Enjoy!
