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!

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.

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.

My sister, cousin, and I had a ladies weekend at Roseway, and it was perfect. Michelle is a class act host that includes many thoughtful touches within the home. The house is in a convenient location near amenities and fun things to see and do, though we spent a good deal of time simply relaxing in the beautiful space that Michelle cultivated within the house. We can't wait to return!

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.

Charming Home in Northeast Portland

This home is lovely and has everything you could need. It's very clean (important to me) and the owner, Michelle, lives downstairs and is very accessible if anything goes awry. (Although nothing went wrong during our stay). Michelle has chickens in the back and brought us fresh eggs upon our arrival. Safeway is within walking distance just down the street so we were able to easily get any groceries. The home is within walking distance of many stores and restaurants. There was a little issue with parking, but that shouldn't be a problem once they get the backyard completed. We enjoyed our stay and would book this home again.

Portland Treasure

My parents and I stayed in Michelle's lovely bungalow one week in June and enjoyed every minute! All of the essentials are covered and groceries are a quick walk across the street. Ask Michelle for endless ideas of activities and reviews of neighborhood restaurants. She is extremely responsive and generous! We woke up to fresh eggs from her chickens. She lent us her raincoat and umbrella because we left ours back east. The neighborhood is quiet and parking is a breeze. We have family in town and would stay here again in a heartbeat. It feels like home away from home. I'd give this experience 12 stars if I could. Enjoy!

Beautiful and super clean property - the host was amazing!

My husband and I stayed at the Colorful Roseway Bungalow for 4 nights and we absolutely loved it. The house was amazingly clean AND allowed us to stay with our two dogs, which is an impossible find. The host, Michelle, thought of everything. Everywhere I turned, there was a small convenience or thoughtful item: - Hmm, I think I'd like to sit with my laptop on the couch this afternoon, I wonder if there's an outlet nearby. Yes, there is! - I'm carrying a wet dog in my arms and I need to turn on the light in the bedroom, I wish I could turn it on with my foot. Oh, I can! - Shoot, I forgot to bring my raw honey from home for my tea. Wait, there's some here in the fridge! Michelle had live plants/flowers in almost every room (yes, even in December) and left us a bottle of wine, chocolate, popcorn, and a bottle of Topo Chico. The bed was super comfy and I piled it high with extra quilts that were provided. Michelle also, miraculously, didn't mind our two dogs who were unusually barky and annoying after being cooped up for almost the whole week prior because of the "atmospheric river" we were experiencing. When I texted her to see if she had a flashlight for a late night walk with the dogs, she brought one right up to us. We love Portland (especially the food - don't forget to check out Pizzeria Otto right down the street) and we would love to stay at the Colorful Roseway Bungalow if Michelle will have us again. :)

Perfect Portland Place

My family and I have been visiting Portland for the last 15 years or so in various locations throughout the city. the Roseway Bungalow is by far the best home away from home we have stayed in. First, it is a 12 minute straight shot from the airport and 25 minutes from the Columbia Gorge. The neighborhood offers a variety of restaurants, grocery stores, parks and shops to walk to within a few minutes. Myself, my daughter and granddaughter felt very safe in this neighborhood. Lastly, we loved the layout and design of the home. It gave us each our own space to relax and unwind from family and vacation events. We all loved the eclectic design and thought given to guest comfort. It was a great space to host our larger family that came over for meals and games (kids loved the supply of board games). The adults appreiciated the TV being upstairs where the kids could hang if they wanted to watch a movie. The outside is landscaped with areas to sit and relax, BBQ, or enjoy a meal. Michelle, the owner, was easy to communicate with and available via text. We definitely would use the Roseway Bungalow as our home base for Portland in the future.

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!
