The Location: Welcome to Shift Vacation Rentals in the vibrant Mississippi District, one of Portland’s most beloved and walkable neighborhoods.
Just a few minutes from the house, Mississippi Avenue is lined with colorful storefronts, creative boutiques, lively music venues, award-winning restaurants, and some of Portland’s best craft breweries. Spend the day exploring local cafés, vintage shops, and galleries, then enjoy dinner and drinks without ever needing to drive. This lively street is surrounded by charming historic neighborhoods, giving you the perfect blend of urban energy and classic Portland charm.
The Space: This beautifully remodeled home is a bright and welcoming transformation of a 1920s bungalow. Thoughtfully designed for vacation rentals, the house offers comfortable gathering spaces, stylish details, and plenty of room for groups to relax together. Natural light fills the main living area, where white wood walls and warm finishes create a relaxed farmhouse feel in the heart of the city. The open floor plan connects the kitchen, dining area, and living room, making it easy for everyone to spend time together. The fully stocked kitchen includes everything you need to cook and entertain, including a coffee grinder, coffee maker, blender, microwave, toaster, quality knives, and all the cookware needed for group meals. The large wood dining table is perfect for shared dinners or planning the next day’s adventures. Of course, you may find yourself eating out most of the time since some of Portland’s best restaurants are just a short walk away.

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.
