Thanks Stacy! We are so happy to hear your group had everything you needed for a great stay. We really did put a lot of thought into what all our guests might want or need during their visit from fun games to cooking utensils and more. This really is a great spot for groups to enjoy with plenty of space. Please do come again!
This Rear Break, Mississippi District home was absolutely perfect! We were visiting Portland for our Son's wedding with our large family & Handicap 94 yo Mom. Our family was coming from all over the States, including Hawaii, and gathering together for such a memorable event in one home was great. Every amenity you can think of was available & cute shops, Food Trucks, & Coffee shops were just a walk away.If we ever need a large home again in Portland, we know where we'll be planning to stay.

Thank you so much DeeDee! We are thrilled to hear you had such a lovely stay and the house was a good fit for the whole family. What an honor it is to be a small part of the celebration and a place for everyone to gather. That's what its all about. We really take pride in our rentals and try to think of everything that could be needed during the stay and more, so we are glad you felt that small touch. So happy you had a chance to explore the wonderful walkable neighborhood and all it has to offer. Looking forward to hosting you again!
Fully stocked kitchen and plenty of towels for our group of 8. The place is spacious and comfortable. The location was great with restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance.

I’m so happy that you had everything you needed while you stayed with us. We aim to stock everything fully and make sure the houses are complete with all the things people would need to have a comfortable and enjoyable time. I also agree with you, the neighborhood is so fantastic with so much walking distance from the house.
Loved the kitchen and location. Beautiful space. I brought my leadership team for a retreat. Perfect environment for us to relax.

Glad your leadership team retreat worked well in the house. We often have businesses renting from us- which the houses work really well for. Everyone can have some private space and public areas- which I know both are crucial when traveling with work people. Happy you all were able to relax and felt you were in a beautiful space.
A wonderful place to stay! Great location with tons to do! Would come back anytime

Fantastic Jason, we'd love to have you all back. Thrilled that you found the house wonderful and location ideal as well. We strive for that so we are excited you felt it.
Six friends stayed twice in a week at this location. We enjoyed the property, amenities and location. Pictures are accurate and host communications is clear and helpful. Loved this neighborhood.

Thanks for the great review David! We really wanted to create a space for large groups to gather and we lucked out with the great location and neighborhood. So glad you enjoyed the stay and would recommend to others, we really appreciate that. Please stay with us again next time you visit Portland.
The cleaners will love hearing you found the house sparkling clean! We have a fantastic group of cleaners who all work so hard to make sure all is cleaned and staged with a welcoming vibe. Please come back and stay again, we'd love to have you!
Easy check-in/check-out directly next to a cluster of food trucks. Highly recommend!

Thanks David we do try to make things as easy as possible with self check in, electronic locks and by sending all of the info a week before and the day of arrival. I know how many things people need to deal with while traveling so we aim to have our part with lodging as seamless as possible.
It was a nice clean place with interesting things to look at and close to fun

Thrilled you had a 5 star stay and liked the location. It's ideal being a block away from so many wonderful restaurants, shops, cafes and also quiet so you can get a great night sleep. Please come back and stay again!
The property was so chic and beautiful. Well maintained and had so much to offer while in Portland. Our friends and I enjoyed our stay and the hosts were so prompt, polite and friendly. Definitely would stay again!

Thanks so much Liz for the lovely review. Chic and beautiful- can't ask for more! We can't wait to have you back here, or at one of our other Portland rentals.
Comfortable space, great location, accurate listing.
Six friends stayed staging for a canoe trip. The beds are comfortable, the space well-designed and the hosts communicative and clear. The location is fantastic, with plentiful restaurants. The pictures and descriptions are accurate. Highly recommend for a group.

I am so happy we got the opportunity to host you on both the beginning and ending of your trip, in between the canoe trip. Thrilled you all liked the house so much and felt welcome and comfortable. I loved the phone call asking to arrive a day earlier at the end of your trip because you all enjoyed the house so much. This is what we are going for! Please come again- we'd love to have you back.
A very nice place that helped us to bring nine family members from diverse regions together for a holiday stay. The hosts had all the extras that we needed, just like being at home.

Hello Connie, thanks for the wonderful review. I am happy you enjoyed the decor, we sourced it from many local artists and makers so that one feels the vibrant creative energy of Portland in the house. Please come back and stay with us at our Alberta location next time. I think you will also really like that neighborhood.
Best,
Michelle
We enjoyed our stay. It rained the whole time so we were not able to enjoy the outdoor area except for throwing darts when the rain was only a drizzle.
Perfect time with the family. I am 57 and had my two 83 year old parents and two 25-27 year old sons, and dog. We did the Columbia River Gorge and Cannon Beach. Restaurants in the binder are great, and today we are headed up to Seattle. Very sad to leave this home, but will definitely be back

We are sad you are leaving! Thrilled you all had a wonderful time. Sounds like you had a perfect mix of nature with the Gorge and Coast and also hit Portland's amazing restaurants. Glad you liked our suggestions- after living in the city for 30 years sharing my favorite spots is a dream. We look forward to hosting you all again! Safe travels.
About the host
Hosted by Owner/Property Manager
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
5-bedroom stunning eco-modern house just steps from the hip and trendy Mississippi District in Portland.
