THOH Space
The Tiny House of Happiness is Dr. Mira Reisberg’s brand new guest home on the property, built in 2019. Everything was newly installed and purchased last year, including the bed, sofa, appliances, and linens. This 360 square foot tiny home is perfect for simple living with loads of windows, natural light, and garden views. This charming yet modern vacation home sits back on a large urban lot in a quiet neighborhood in NE Portland. It is detached from the main house but close enough so that we can accommodate any needs during your stay.
We warmly welcome travellers of all orientations from anywhere in the world!
Warm in winter and cool in summer, THOH is designed to be super comfortable and amenable to both rest and relaxation, writing or illustrating (dry media art work only, sorry no paints or charcoal or anything that will stain but you may be able to use Mira's studio if time allows) or just sleeping, reading, and watching streaming videos on your iPad or laptop. Everyone who has visited absolutely loves it and raves about the mattress, the lightness, brightness and lovely vibe.

THOH has a full kitchen equipped with a full-size fridge, full size stove, large microwave, dishwasher, tea kettle, coffee maker, cutting board, knives, plates, bowls, glasses, mugs and utensils. An 8ft counter offers plenty of prep space, and there is lots of cupboard space to store your dry goods. We have most of what you would need to cook, including oils and spices (and tea and coffee). Don’t hesitate to ask if you’re missing something. (There is a minor extra charge access the washer and dryer.) Enjoy meals at the table for four or walk to some great cafés and restaurants.
The new full-sized living room couch converts into a comfortable bed. It is important to know that THOH does not include a television. Should you feel like curling up and watching a movie, please bring tablets, phones or laptops and enjoy our free WIFI. There are also lots of magazines, books, and games to play (we are constantly adding more).

The bathroom is separated by sliding pocket doors. It has an eco-friendly dual-flow toilet and sink. Wash up in the large modern shower with shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel provided. There’s storage on shelves and hooks.
In the light-filled bedroom (with full curtains), a queen size memory foam bed has two nightstands with cell phone and tablet charger. The room offers a small desk, a luggage rack and hanging rack for clothes. A full glass door in the bedroom allows for either garden views or complete privacy.
There is NO SMOKING ANYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY (tobacco or marijuana). Even outside smoking has disturbed our neighbors and brought the smell of smoke inside the house. However, you can walk out onto the street and smoke anything you like.
Coded keyless entry. Check in anytime after 3:00PM, and check out by 11:00AM.
Neighborhood parking is free and easy to access. Street parking is always available.

Location, Location, Location!
You'll feel like you're in a quiet country cottage, but you'll truly be in the heart of the city. Sitting back on a large urban lot in a quiet neighborhood in the trending NE Portland neighborhood of Roseway, THOH is a charming yet modern vacation home centrally located between the 5 way of NE Alberta, Beaumont, Hollywood, ParkRose and the SE Portland neighborhoods, 10 minutes from the airport (about $15 by cab) and 15-20 mins to downtown and North West and South West neighborhoods. It is detached from the main house but close enough so that we can accommodate any needs during your stay. And it's only a 15 minute drive to the art-filled downtown Pearl district or to the buzzing Alberta neighborhood or to newly developed SE Division. You’re also 2 miles from the nearest Max (light rail) station, blocks from bus stops and less than 4 miles (about $15 cab ride) from PDX Airport. We also have 2 neighborhood movie theaters. The first is a nice walk to the Roseway Cinema but to go to the spectacular Hollywood Theater, you'd want to catch a Lyft, Uber, bus or drive.
There are way too many great nearby places to eat, so we've put together a nice list for guests of places to eat and things to do.
Click here to see just some of the many local restaurants. Or you can walk or take an inexpensive Lyft or Uber ride to nearby Safeway to cook all your own food in your well-equipped kitchen.
Roseway neighborhood is a hidden gem. Because of its proximity to Fremont and 57th, the neighborhood has good access to all the shops and restaurants on Fremont, NE Sandy and the Hollywood areas. It also has good transit with lots of buses going by on the main roads, and you aren’t too far from the MAX lightrail. The neighborhood has lots of character and charm, with more than half of the houses built in the early 1900s, and there aren’t very many new houses. Some of the homes, almost have a storybook charm and the whole neighborhood has a real pride of ownership. There are two large parks in the neighborhood: Glenhaven park offers sports fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, and a skate park, and Wellington Park has a brand new playground and soccer field plus lighted paths for walkers, joggers, and bikers. Rose City Golf Course is on the edge of the neighborhood, just to the south of Roseway . See below for just a few of my favorite things, or just come and walk around the magical neighborhoods.

If You Love Murals and Bookstores...
Portland is a city full of artists, writers, and kidlit folk. Some of these images are from the fun team, Local Adventurer, here! They even have a great Google maps feature here! Other images are mine or from the Internet. Thank you to all the wonderful artists who made these and other murals adding to the whimsy, beauty, and delight that is Portland. There are tons of bookstores here as well - here's a partial list or click here for some some great children's book stores.
