Welcome to Shift Vacation Rental’s Mississippi District location! We have a stunning urban oasis just a few minutes' walk from the fun and trendy N Mississippi District. This newly revived area has become one of the hippest places to shop, dine, and drink. 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.
This fully remodeled home will be beyond your expectations. Flooded with light and handmade touches, this house is an amazing transformation of a 1920s bungalow. The house was remodeled for use as a vacation rental and is set up perfectly for people to gather and relax. As you enter, natural light from the windows and white clapboard wood surrounds makes you feel like you’ve entered a sweet farmhouse. The open floor plan captures the kitchen, living room, and dining room, perfect for family and friends to gather in. Everything you need, from a coffee grinder and maker to cookie sheets and blenders, is all provided for you.
The kitchen is stocked with plates, glasses, etc., to serve a big family dinner at the gorgeous wood dining table. It is stocked with everything from a toaster, microwave, ice maker, blender, good knives – you name it! But you may not even want to cook, as you are within a few minutes' walk from some of Portland's finest eateries.
The first floor has 2 bedrooms and one full bathroom. One bedroom has a queen bed, while the other has a double-down/twin-up bunk bed. The bathroom has a beautifully tiled shower with a large rain shower head. Walk downstairs, and you enter another entertaining area with a TV, games, and a cozy seating area – a perfect spot to send the kids to play while the adults hang upstairs. Downstairs has 2 bedrooms, each with a queen bed. There is also a full bathroom with beautiful tile and a double shower head!
There is free street parking available. Typically, you can park either right out front or within 1 to 2 blocks. It isn't bad for a city.
The house sits on a lot with another vacation rental, a stunning modern home with 5 beds and 3 baths. You can rent both for larger groups, workshops, and reunions! If you need more rentals, we also have a duplex, a 5-minute drive away in the Alberta neighborhood. Contact us for more details.
We are fully permitted and compliant with the City of Portland. Permit number #TL90949.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle Ruber
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.
