Welcome to Shift Vacation Rental’s Mississippi District location! We have a stunning urban oasis; a quick walk from the fun and trendy Mississippi District. This area has become one of the hippest places to shop, dine and drink in Portland. The street is lined with chic foodie restaurants, live music venues, and a bevy of bars, boutiques and brewpubs. Colorful buildings line the main thoroughfare of Mississippi, while historic and charming residential neighborhoods surround the area.

When renting this property you get two separate houses. First is our 4-bedroom, 2-bath totally remodeled bungalow set up perfectly for gathering or relaxing. The house has an open floor plan with lots of natural light and great for people-watching along Mississippi District! There are several designer touches, reclaimed wood, and incredible reuse ideas. The kitchen is fully-stocked for cooking, baking, or just keeping it simple with a cup of coffee in the morning.

The main floor has 2 bedrooms, and one full bathroom--one room has a queen bed and the other a double down/twin up bunk.

Walk downstairs and you enter into another entertaining area, with second TV, games, and cozy seating area. A perfect spot to send the kids to play while the adults hang upstairs. Downstairs also has 2 bedrooms each with a queen bed. There is a full bathroom with beautiful tile and a double shower head.

The second house is a 2000/sf newly built modern house at the rear of the lot. The house is vast and open with tons of light. The kitchen is fully-stocked.

The main floor is ADA (those with wheelchairs, walkers, crutches or impaired mobility will be comfortable). That bedroom has a King mattress.

Upstairs is a family room, with cool hanging hammock chairs, second TV, and cozy couch. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs--three with queen beds and one with a double down/twin above bunk bed. There are also two tiled bathrooms; one with a bathtub, the other with a walk-in shower. A balcony finishes the area off, the perfect place to enjoy a beer, sneak away for an intimate conversation, or sit and fill up on the Portland vibe while people watching from the rocking chairs.

Outside, each house has a picnic table. Front Break has a large patio facing Albina Ave. The rear dining area is more private with large table, benches, and plantings. The side yard, has benches creating a lounge zone with outdoor grill and dart board- wonderful for summer evenings.

There is one parking spot on site for each house.

You need more houses to book? Don't worry we have a duplex about 1.5 miles away on Alberta Street. Please get in touch for more information.

We are fully permitted and compliant with the City of Portland. Permit number #TL90949.

Great Location, Comfort, and Communication

My husband and I rented this pair of houses for a 35th anniversary celebration. The hosts were communicative, and the property itself was comfortable, spacious, and well designed. Most Portland sites that we wanted to visit were just a short drive away, and those who chose to explore on foot around the property found plenty to interest them, including a quirky taxidermy shop. We would definitely choose this rental again for a similar function.

Great option for a group stay

We stayed at this property as a retreat-type trip. It had a great space for hanging out as a group indoors and outdoors as well as enough bedrooms to find a quiet space. The neighborhood was great, walkable restaurants and coffee spots.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Ruber

Host profile image
We are a husband and wife team who love to travel, mostly on bicycles, and love designing houses. We put both of those passions together with the two businesses we own. Encircle Design and Build is our home remodeling side, where we mainly focus on kitchens, bathrooms, and whole house remodels. We started Shift Vacation Rentals with our duplex on Alberta Street. When we were getting married we looked for a house that could accommodate all of our family members and couldn't find anything. This experience sprouted our idea to create well-designed, modern, artistic lodging for people coming to Portland in our favorite neighborhoods. We adore Portland and think its, if not the, then one of the best cities in the USA. We are excited to share our home and neighborhood with you as it offers so much. In the house there is a list of recommendations of what to do and see in PDX!

Why they chose this property

The location is amazing. Walking distance to some of Portland's coolest bars, restaurants, and shops. Mississippi District is the area that exemplifies what makes Portland unique, the locally owned businesses will inspire and wow you.
The house is adorable, extremely clean, well looked after and beautifully appointed. The house is only used as a vacation rental, so you don't feel like you are staying in someone's personal space. We strive to provide a home that is perfect and hope you have an amazing stay.

What makes this property unique

9 bedrooms with eco modern style, perfect for large groups, walking distance from cool and artistic Mississippi District.
