Where less is more.
“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”
–Toni Morrison

“You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write.”
~ Annie Proulx
Moss Rock Retreat is a quiet, comfortable tiny house created by writers, for writers. Tucked behind the magical Leach Botanical Garden in a forested neighborhood, Moss Rock is located only 20 minutes from downtown Portland and PDX, but offers the serenity of a mountain retreat.
“After a full belly, all is poetry.” ~ Frank McCourt
Moss Rock Retreat has everything necessary for a solo writing escape: a comfortable desk, a well-equipped kitchen, and a cozy bed in the treehouse-like loft. There is just enough space for you and your imagination.


“You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.”
~ Saul Bellow
The intimate study in the tiny house has a writing desk, a comfortable office chair, and speedy WiFi. Curl up on the cozy sofa-bench and reach for inspiration from the curated collection of craft books and local writers.
“Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart; confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.”
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Tucked into a serene hillside garden, with stately trees and winding paths, Moss Rock beckons you outside to write. The private porch of the tiny house, which faces the sunrise, is perfect for welcoming the day, while the two decks in the garden offer fresh inspiration and a spectacular view of the evening light show.
