Oregon feels wide open in a way most places don’t. You can wake up near mossy forests, spend the afternoon on a windy beach, then watch the sky fade over mountain trails. That mix pulls people in, and it’s why Oregon stays are such a draw for travelers who want nature without losing comfort.

Across Houfy, you’ll find Oregon vacation rentals tucked near coastlines, lakes, old-growth forests, and quiet paths you wouldn’t find on a map. Some are simple cabins. Others are spacious Oregon vacation homes built for long weekends.

Where to Stay in Oregon

1. 5+ Bed Artsy Bungalow Inner SE Portland - Portland

This artsy Portland bungalow gives you the kind of stay that feels rooted in the city’s character. The bright colors, the wrap-around porch, and the hammock all set a relaxed tone from the moment you arrive. You’re in inner SE Portland, a walkable area with tree-lined streets, cafés, and spots locals actually use. And if you want the full Oregon feel, the house sits close to forested parks, river paths, and easy day trips toward the Columbia Gorge or the coast. It works well for groups because the spaces feel lived-in, not staged, and everyone can spread out without losing the sense of being together.

Inside, the home has room for 8–12 guests, so families or mixed groups aren’t squeezed into tiny bedrooms. You get a fully equipped kitchen, a clawfoot tub, a washer and dryer, and enough sofas and nooks for people to drift off with a book or plan the next trail. Evenings tend to slow down here. Someone grills on the deck, someone swings on the porch, and someone else flips through maps for tomorrow’s hike. It’s an easy base for exploring Oregon’s forests, Portland’s neighborhoods, or even the coast if you feel like a drive.

2. Bike'N'Roll Craftsman + 2 Free Bikes for Your Stay - Portland

This Craftsman home gives you a classic Portland stay with an easy way to explore the city: by bike. The house sits in the Brooklyn neighborhood, a quiet area with tree-lined streets and a bike score of 95, so you can roll straight into parks, cafés, and local shops. Guests get two free bikes, plus locks and helmets, which makes it simple to reach trails like the Springwater Corridor or ride toward the river. Inside, the space feels warm and lived-in, with vintage touches, tall ceilings, and plenty of sunlight from the original windows. It’s the kind of place where mornings start on the porch and days stretch out naturally.

For a base close to Oregon’s forests and coastline day trips, it works better than you’d think. You’re minutes from transit, so you can head toward neighborhoods filled with breweries or ride out to nature spots around Southeast Portland. The fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and small extras like a washer and dryer make longer stays easy. And after a day of biking through the city or wandering local parks, coming back to a quiet street with a relaxed porch feels like the right pace. It’s a simple, grounded way to experience Oregon.

3. Seaview 403 in Rockaway Beach, Oregon - Rockaway Beach

Seaview 403 gives you the kind of Oregon stay people dream about. The condo sits right on Rockaway Beach, so you can start your day with the sound of waves and a wide-open view of the coastline from the top floor. Shops and cafés are close enough to reach on foot, which keeps the whole trip simple. Inside, the layout feels spacious with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a balcony that lets you watch the tide roll in without leaving the unit. It’s the type of place where you park once, slow down, and let the Oregon coast set the pace.

Because the building sits steps from the sand, it works well for guests who want easy beach access without the crowds. You can wander along the shoreline, head out for day trips up and down the coast, or stay put and read while the waves move in the background. The small library of books, board games, and puzzles gives you quiet ways to unwind when the weather turns. And with a desk overlooking the ocean, it doubles as a peaceful spot for remote work. For anyone exploring Oregon vacation rentals near the coastline, this one checks all the boxes: views, comfort, and that slow coastal rhythm that sticks with you.

4. *NEW* Sunriver Luxury Lodge, King Suites, SHARC, EV - Sunriver

Alpine Lodge delivers the kind of Oregon vacation rental people book when they want nature at their doorstep without giving up comfort. Set in Sunriver, it sits close to trails, forests, bike paths, golf courses, and the calm pace that makes this area feel restful the moment you arrive. The design leans warm and modern with floor-to-ceiling windows, a chef’s kitchen, a game room, and plenty of space for groups who want to spread out after long days outside. You can walk to Fort Rock Park, drive a few minutes to SHARC, or head toward the river or forest paths that make Sunriver such a favorite.

What makes this Oregon stay memorable is the mix of outdoor access and small luxuries. After exploring lava fields, riding bikes through the pines, or spending a day on Mt. Bachelor, you come back to a hot tub, a heated patio, and quiet corners to rest. The lodge works well for families, friends, or anyone who wants a home base close to nature. You can cook big meals, unwind in the movie room, or just sit by the tall windows watching the light shift through the trees.
