The Concordia Gem is a newly built modern take on the classic mother-in-law unit, which will provide you with a luxe, personal & economical alternative to staying in a hotel/motel in the city. It is nestled on a quiet tree lined residential street. We offer a beautiful 400 sq foot very spacious tall ceiling stand-alone unit. You have your own entrance into a private yard.
Located in the heart of the Historic Alberta Arts district the Gem is sure to deliver a unique experience in custom designed, space efficient housing & convenient access to some of Portland's hottest spots, just steps away from diverse restaurants, natural food grocery stores, yoga, massage studios etc… You can walk or bike though one of our numerous beautiful parks or community gardens. There are also bus lines within a few blocks walk that take you all over the city or rent a car to go. We love our neighborhood for offering the diversity of all these things, but with the peace and quiet of a neighborhood
The open, vaulted, light-filled space will make the tiny home seem much bigger than it appears. It has everything you need whether you are visiting PDX for a few days or for an extended stay.
We wanted the stand alone building to be tranquil, meditative, efficient, green-friendly environment combining both comfort & practicality in its 400 square footprint with vaulted 18 foot ceilings and private bath combine to make the space feel & function with comfort.
The gem shares a garden (with us and also a couple other renters) with lots of bamboo rustling in the breeze fully landscaped yard space. Perfect for reflecting, reading, relaxing, happy-houring or whatever your heart desires.

The beauty of this place was healing

The red gem was one of the best places we have stayed at. It was artistic, functional and friendly. And wow what an assortment of walkable restaurants and night life! And if you just want to stay and cook, it has all you need. We would certainly stay again.

Super Cute!

I loved my stay in the Tiny Red House, it is super cute and at the back of an amazing garden. The Alberta neighborhood is safe and very walkable with great outdoor spaces for dogs if you happen to have one or two. Great restaurants and coffee shops are also nearby, plus easy to get to downtown as well. I would stay here again!

Perfect Stay

This is a real Gem, nestled in a quiet oasis, in a walkable and beautiful neighborhood with restaurants, cafes and shops. The space has everything I needed and the sitting area is perfect for winding down after a day on the town-or a cup of morning coffee!

Hidden gem!!

We loved our stay at the small cottage. It was like being in the middle of a lovely garden.We were walking distance to restaurants in the Alberta district. Very comfortable accommodations with every thing you need. There isn’t air conditioning but plenty of fans so we never felt it was hot. I highly recommend renting this place for a fun location in Portland

Great location and comfortable house.

The Tiny Gem was great! My husband and I enjoyed our stay; bed was comfy, kitchen clean, bathroom and shower were clean and had warm water, and the room was even stocked with books, videos, travel guides and such. The neighborhood is great with a lot to do just a few blocks away. We spent most of our time out of the room, but would definitely stay again.
