The office has a comfy sofa-bench, a built-in desk, a reading library, and excellent wifi. The bathroom is small but functional, with shower, toilet, a super cute tiny sink, and essential toiletries. The loft bedroom has a cozy double bed with spectacular treehouse views (please note that the stairs up to the sleeping loft are narrow and do *not* have a handrail). The second loft, with a twin bed, has a great view of the crab-apple tree, and is accessible by ladder.Outside, enjoy the morning on your private porch, or take in the evening light show from one of the two viewing decks in the yard. The quiet, forested neighborhood and the large garden make for a serene setting not found in most urban tiny homes. Come to escape, to create, to rejuvenate.The tiny house is smoke-free and pet-free. Unfortunately, due to health and safety concerns, we are also unable to accommodate emotional support or assistance animals. The tiny house has a private gated driveway that guests are welcome to use. Every so often we do need access to gated driveway in order to maintain the property. We make every attempt to do so when the driveway is free so as not to disturb our guests. Thank you for your understanding!Nearby Attractions:Portland city center is a quick 20 minute drive. Within an hour drive you will find Mt. Hood National Recreation Area, Columbia River Gorge, and the Willamette Valley. Tillamook and the Oregon Coast are less than a 90-minute drive. Just down the street you will find the historic Leach Botanical Garden, a secret garden with wandering pathways, including the newly added aerial tree walk, which takes you 30 feet up into the tree canopy. Down the hill is the historic stone cabin, a gift shop, Johnson Creek, and the newly renovated, beautiful Manor House. A longer walk (3 miles round-trip) takes you through the neighborhood to the peaceful Foster Wetlands. The hikes of Powell Butte are a few minutes drive away, and Jenny Butte Park just a bit further. The enchanting Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden is a 17 minute drive, and well worth the visit. The Willamette National Cemetery is three minute drive up the hill.Reed College is a convenient 13 minute drive.Recent guest comments about Moss Rock Retreat:"The tiny house is so cozy... especially with the raindrops putting us to sleep at night." ~Catherine"Your hospitality was phenomenal!" ~Ryan"This place is so compact, yet pours so much positivity and fresh air into one's soul.
