Shift Vacation Rentals~ High Gear Quick Facts:
4 bedrooms - 3 with queen beds 1 double down/twin up bunk bed
2 full bathrooms
Open floor plan with living room, dining room and kitchen
This historic duplex is located in the heart of Portland's most unique neighborhoods. Alberta Arts District, where there is always something unbelievable to look at, like people riding bikes while juggling. Amazing restaurants to eat at, it's home to Portland's culinary creativity. Fun pubs to have a drink, locally brewed beers won't disappoint. And loads of independent stores to purchase gifts adorable dresses and funky jewelry, awaits you. The best part is it's the location you hope to get when book a vacation rental. Walking distance to all on Alberta Street. 15 minutes by car from the airport, 10 minutes by car to downtown Portland. The bus stop is a block away and there is free street parking.
High Gear (the upper level of the duplex) has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. An open living, dining, and kitchen area. The first floor houses 3 of the bedrooms. 2 with queen beds and the third with a bunk bed (double lower and twin above). The first floor also has a full bath with walk in shower. The second floor houses a fourth bedroom, loft area with futon and skylights, and a gorgeous full bathroom.
The kitchen is fully stocked from coffee grinder to microwave oven to blender. You will be able to cook up a feast and eat in comfort at the wood dining table.
One major perk about renting with us at Shift Vacation Rentals is the coupons our lovely neighbors share with our guests. Frock Boutique, Tin Shed, Mimosa Studios, Eco Vibe Apparel, Imelda's Shoes, Crafty Wonderland & more....You get discounts to all these wonderful places! So eat, drink and shop- all a stroll away and all at a discounted price!
The side yard boasts an exterior ping-pong table, picnic table, propane BBQ, and tree covered sitting area. In the nice weather its a perfect spot to enjoy a meal or let the kids run free!
A well behaved pet is allowed. The pet fee is $175.
The house had been newly gutted and remodeled using sustainable and local materials, and has inspiring touches throughout the house. It promises to be one of the best vacation rentals in all of Portland.
For larger groups, this house can be rented along with low gear the 3 bedroom 1.5 bathroom rental located in the lower section of this duplex.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle Ruber
Myself and my Dutch husband, Klaas, are obsessed with travel, design, nature, hiking, and biking....We have combined all of these things into our vacation rental business. During our travels we constantly note what makes things feel unique and special and then incorporate them into our location. We want our guests to feel super comfortable. We can do this by making sure the kitchen is fully stocked, linens and towels are high quality, internet is high speed, the house is super clean. We also want people to feel that they are in Portland, not just anywhere. We do that by using locally made materials in the construction (tiles, flooring, art work), providing lots of info and books about the area, creating an insiders guide of our favorite places, and we have collaborated with locally owned shops who give discounts to our guests.
Why they chose this property
I think our rental has many unique areas- from a large side yard filled with interesting kids structures to corn hole which is a game that friends can play and enjoy for hours. Inside the house has bike themed interiors from hanging tricycle lights to handle bar coat racks. We wanted the house to be comfortable for guests, so details such as reading lights above the beds were put in every room. We hope you love your stay!
What makes this property unique
This amazing rental is located in the heart of Portland's most unique neighborhoods, the Alberta Arts District. With 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a large living room, and all of the amenities you need to feel directly at home.
