About this property

Colorful Roseway Bungalow - a classic old Portland charmer!

Colorful & relaxing: your stay is sure to be pleasant in this easy, convenient, and charming Roseway neighborhood home. The 102-year-old house has two queen bedrooms on the main floor. The living room couch pulls out into a comfy bed, and an upstairs lounge area has a double futon and double bed. Mattresses are new, towels and sheets are high quality. The furnishings are fun, funky, and not fancy ~ but never compromising comfort. You'll enjoy a large kitchen with lots of countertops and storage space, a big fridge, and a 6-burner Viking cooktop. Within a 10-minute walk you'll find some great restaurants, but you might just want to stay in!

To note:
~Touchpad entry - no key necessary.
~The house is a nice size, much larger than your average two bedroom, because of upstairs “lounge.”
~Street parking is readily available and ask host if you need driveway parking, it's shared with neighbors.
~ There's no enclosed yard - pets must be on leash when outside.
Backyard is comfy and available for you to use - just know that it's not private. It's wide open to the driveway shared by the neighbors, and I'm also building a sweet mother-in-law cottage at the back/side of the property, unlikely to be disruptive and won't be in your vision (totally possible to ignore and not see/hear if you prefer.) The front yard and front porch are all yours to enjoy privately, but don't hesitate to use the open and in-process backyard too!

Also: words from this company...

Beautiful home in beautiful neighborhood.

Michelle’s home was perfect for our family gathering in Portland. We have family that live nearby and Michelle’s home was well equipped and comfortable for us to host dinner and games. Beds are comfortable and decor is fun and compliments the vibe of the home. Michelle was an excellent host and very communicative. She has thought of everything!

Wonderful Home

The home is beautifully decorated, well appointed, comfortable and cozy. There’s plenty of room for a large group, but the two of us felt right at home. The owner is available and responsive without being at all intrusive. The location is wonderful with lots of restaurants and shopping in the neighborhood. And it is easy to get anywhere from here! We’ll definitely be back.

Slice of Real Portland

I left Portland for a while and came back to stay here before I moved into my place and it so reminded me of what Portland is like--the arty decor I LOVED with all the plants and a very nice and environmentally conscious host! Very quiet neighborhood and great there is a grocery store nearby and easy access to a main road that leads everywhere. Street parking is tight during the day but can easily find a space out front after work hours. Absolutely would stay here again and so much better than a normal hotel! Thank you for the popcorn and wine treats!

Beautiful & Perfect

I have my favorite neighborhoods in Portland, but everything was booked. So, went outside my comfort zone and found this beautiful gem of a place, and so glad I did. It’s off a busy street, but as soon as you enter the neighborhood, it’s quiet, the homes are cute and funky, and the trees and gardens are gorgeous. The older craftsman home is warm and inviting, with a little bit of eclectic thrown in for good measure. Spotless, extremely clean…The beds were comfy, kitchen well stocked, heater was easy to operate and did I mention the lovely indoor plants? My daughter and I felt right at home and Michelle was a thoughtful and gracious host.

Cozy and lovely Portland home!

I stayed in this house with 4 of my family members that were visiting Portland for the first time. We loved staying here! There are plenty of comfortable sleeping spaces, sitting spaces, and a cute front patio. We loved the comfortability of the house, as well as all of the detail our host put into this house. The location is perfect for airport travel, as well as getting to all corners of the city. We really appreciated her effort at making sure we loved our stay. We are so grateful we got to stay here!

Great bungalow and host

Our check-in was simple, and the owner lives downstairs but you have total privacy. Beautiful front porch and garden, chicken coop in the way back of the backyard. Very welcoming, comfortable beds, gorgeous bathroom, cute well-stocked kitchen. Nearby park by golf course is walkable. Located near Safeway and a great thrift store Rerun2 - there is some noise if you're outside as you're not far from a main street. Michelle was a terrific host and she made check-out so easy! Thanks for a great stay.

Rose festival and contemporary art biennial

The house was so charming and welcoming. The Rosewood bungalow was clean, well stocked and beautifully decorated. Our 7 year old twins loved the upstairs. The candy land game was kept going the whole time. Kitchen was spacious and well supplied. Beds comfortable. Garden and front porch and back yard shared table are lovely. I would stay here again.

Family Vacation in NE Portland

My family and I stayed at the Colorful Roseway Bungalow for 6 days in late July and early August. We have 2 kids ages 6 and 9 years old and a dog. The size of the house was perfect for us. The Colorful Roseway Bungalow is even cuter in person than in the online pictures. We enjoyed daily neighborhood walks with our dog. The location is great, close to the airport, but also with easy access by car to anywhere we wanted to go in Portland. The owner was friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this house, especially if you want a local neighborhood feel to your vacation. We would definitely love to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Waneka

Host profile image
Hi! I am so excited to have you stay in my sweet home. I've lived here for 12+ years, the most recent chunk of that time in the renovated apartment in the basement of the house. So I'll be nearby for questions or assistance, but definitely out of your way.
I'm from Alaska-- been there? Know people? Let's talk! It's my second favorite place, after Portland of course. My favorite Portland things are the restaurants and many varied eateries, vintage and thrift shopping, bookstores, cafes, parks, wineries, theatres, and shops. I'd love to make recommendations for you!

Why they chose this property

This century-old home is located in the Roseway District. It's a typical Portland bungalow full of color, charm and character, with just enough updates to make it truly relaxed and comfortable. You'll find everything you may need for staying in, or heading out. The bus-stop is across the street, along with a Safeway grocery store. Within one or two blocks are the sweetest little bakeries, a bagel shop, a wine shop, excellent Vietnamese food, a neopolitan pizza place, and a wonderful vintage/thrift shop. There's so much more within a few more blocks, including two amazing donut places, a golf-course, lovely parks, and food cart pods!
As for getting around - you'll be centrally located between the airport and Portland downtown, both so convenient. Heading to the Gorge or mountains is easy! Heading to the coast towns and beach? Easy again. You'll be staying in a quaint residential neighborhood but convenient and quick access to all that Portland has to offer.

One thing to note! The backyard is undergoing a landscape/cottage renovation this summer - it's out of the way and totally possible to not see or hear. The front porch and yard will be private and all yours, of course. Soon there will be a private deck for you and even more comfort. :)

What makes this property unique

This place exudes character! Charm! Convenience! Comfort! And it’s super CLEAN!
