Ideally Located, Modern & Artistic Large House ~ Pets Welcome!

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: the 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 await you. The best part is it’s the location you hope to get when booking a vacation rental. Within walking distance to all on Alberta Street, it’s 15 minutes by car from the airport and 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, with 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 a walk-in shower. The second floor houses a fourth bedroom, a loft area with a 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, and more... You get discounts to all these wonderful places! So eat, drink, and shop—all just 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 nice weather, it’s 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 has been newly gutted and remodeled using sustainable and local materials and has inspiring touches throughout. 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.
