Imagine waking up in the heart of Portland's most vibrant neighborhood, where every corner promises a new gastronomic delight and a peek into the local indie culture. Welcome to The Little Tower, your exclusive retreat amidst the culinary wonders of the Hawthorne/Buckman District, famously dubbed 'Foodie Row'. Here, chain restaurants are replaced with authentic eateries, each plate and pint telling a story of Portland's spirited community.
As you step outside The Little Tower, the aroma of freshly grilled PB&Js and vegan poutine fries from the nearby Cartopia food cart pod invites you to indulge in Portland’s street food scene. Just a short stroll away, dive into the spicy pleasures of Fire on the Mountain, or share a lovingly crafted pie at Apizza Scholls, a local favorite that captures the essence of Portland’s pizza scene.
But The Little Tower offers more than just a feast for your taste buds. This neighborhood is a treasure trove of Oregon-made goods, from quirky boutiques to artisanal shops, each storefront beckoning with unique finds and local crafts. After a day of culinary and shopping adventures, unwind at the Bagdad Theater and Pub. This 1920s cinema turned local haunt offers a perfect blend of historical charm and modern-day microbrews, allowing you to savor a pint as you catch a movie.
If nature calls, the serene expanse of Mt. Tabor is just moments away. Ascend this dormant volcano vent to discover 196 acres of lush parkland, where panoramic views of Portland stretch beneath you. The trails here, ranging from gentle walks to vigorous hikes, promise a refreshing escape into nature, offering a stark, beautiful contrast to the urban energy of Hawthorne.
Each evening, return to The Little Tower, where the day’s experiences transform into cherished memories. This isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a portal to Portland’s soul, connecting you deeply with the city’s dynamic rhythm and its community’s warm embrace.
Book your stay at The Little Tower and immerse yourself in a Portland experience that goes beyond the ordinary, crafting stories you’ll carry long after you depart.

Head to Cartopia after 10pm — the food cart pod glows like a little carnival, and the grilled PB&J from PBJ's Grilled hits differently when the night air is cool and the crowd thins. For dinner, don't wing it at Apizza Scholls: arrive twenty minutes before they open or you'll wait an hour for a table. It's worth the discipline. Save a morning for Mt. Tabor — climb to the reservoir at the summit just after sunrise, when fog sits in the valley and downtown Portland looks like it's floating. On your way back, duck into the Hawthorne boutiques before noon, when the shops are quiet and the owners actually talk to you. The Little Tower works best as a launchpad, not a cocoon — spend your time outside and let the neighborhood do the heavy lifting.

My husband and I stayed here for just one night. We were in the area for a wedding and had time to be in Portland for a day. This was a great unit! Lots of space. The best part is the location. There’s so many good eats that are a walkable 10min distance. We felt super safe walking even at night.

We really enjoyed at stay at Daniel’s apartment. It’s in a great location with lots of shops, food, and drinks within walking distance. The apartment was comfy and homey and offered everything that we needed. Daniel was very friendly and communicable, and quick to respond. Would highly recommend this space and Daniel!

I lived near Daniel's place previously, so was glad to find a perfect spot for my four-night stay. Daniel's place had everything I needed, while being in the wonderful, walkable Hawthorne neighborhood. Even though it's a busy area with restaurants, shops and lots of people out and about, the apartment was very quiet. Daniel was super-responsive and checked in with me several times to make sure everything was okay. The price was very affordable for a good-sized apartment with a living room/eating area/full kitchen and upstairs bedroom. Daniel made it easy to drop my bag off before the regular check-in time and to check out a bit later. Will definitely stay here again when I'm visiting family and friends in Portland.

The location is AMAZING - perfect if you're looking for a quiet residential stay that is within walking distance to some great cafes and restaurants. Daniel was super helpful and communicative. Everything about this stay was easy, we had a car and always found parking within two blocks of the house.
