The Troutdale Tiny House
When Katherine Liljegren purchased the property her 160-square-foot tiny house now sits on, she knew she'd stumbled upon something special. The lush plot of land — only a 22-minute drive from downtown Portland and less than a mile away from the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area — boasts a vibrant shade of green you'll only find in the Pacific Northwest. “I knew I wanted to share it with fellow travel and adventure lovers,” says Kat, who resides in a standard-sized home on the plot. She reached out to her friend, Logan Sullivan, who was in the process of building a tiny home, and together they thoughtfully created Sandy River Tiny, a small and sustainable base camp (complete with a compostable toilet) fit for any adventurer — and available to rent on Airbnb.
