Warrenton is at the end of the Oregon Trail. Located west across Young’s Bay from Astoria, it sits on the most northwestern point of the State of Oregon. The area’s history is visible to this day.

Explore the same landscapes seen during expeditions made by the Corps of Discovery in the early 1800s. Surrounded by water, Warrenton is a charming community located on the Columbia River, with a sizable marina and Victorian-era homes. The nearby Fort Stevens State Park, which extends up to the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia, offers camping, trails, beach access, and swimming at Coffenbury Lake. Fort Stevens itself was built overlooking the Columbia during the 1850s and is now a military museum open to the public. On the Pacific Coast nearby, the large iron skeleton of the 1906 shipwreck Peter Iredale sits embedded in the sand.

Wonderful getaway!
For our mother’s 70th, she wanted to be on the beach and with her grandchildren. This home was absolutely perfect and management was so communicative and accommodating. Our mother now wants to make this trip a tradition at this home, we look forward to booking it again! Thank you so much!!

Thoughtful Details
This home was exceptionally clean. The "no pets" rule helps with that I'm sure and as a person with allergies, was greatly appreciated. The venue has many thoughtful amenities: A well-stocked coffee/snack bar, ping-pong and other games in the garage with popsicles in the freezer, lots of streaming channels to choose from, and much more. We explored Astoria and Fort Stevens, and had good coffee and pastries just down the road at the bakery at the four-way stop. Very pleasant, convenient rental. Highly recommended.

Everything we needed
The property was great. The beach toys in the garage were a nice touch. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards in the lake almost as much as the beach.

Swallow the anchor stay
This house is amazing!! Well kept, beautiful home. Lots of room for our entire family of 11. The owners think of everything. Family games, ping pong, yard games, bbq, snacks, cooking utensils, pots and pans, etc. You name it they have you covered!! Excellent!! A wonderful home away from home experience!! We used the kayaks on the lake and just a short drive to the ocean at sunset beach. We even rode the bikes there one day. Close to Seaside and Cannon beach. The only negative was the loveseat was broken and we hesitated to use it for fear we would fully break it. Other than that a definite A+!!! Wouldnt hesitate to rent again.. Thank you

Well stocked
Coffee bar and snacks were a nice touch! House was large, clean, and had everything you could possibly need. The location is quiet and central to all the local attractions. We found the house a little chilly albeit your typical spring break weather in Oregon… sunny, stormy, and even a little snow. A fire would have helped but we didn’t want to have to clean it if I’m going to be honest. The main bed was very comfortable I’m told. The other beds were a little too firm, I’d suggest a few foam toppers. As far as the rules go, they were a little overwhelming, but I completely understand the position the owners are in and feel badly for them… The neighbors are not very welcoming and it’s quite obvious they don’t want short term rentals in the neighborhood. Follow the rules and be mindful that you’re not staying in a frat house and you’ll be fine. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

About the host

Hi, We are William & Marie.

Both our careers are in the area of "Service" to others. Bill manages properties along the Oregon coast and Marie operates our RV & Vacation Rentals (Weherdcats RV & Vacation Rentals) and manages the chaos of our 3 kids.

If there is anything we can do to make your time more enjoyable and satisfying....WE WANT TO KNOW!

We love water destinations! Beach and lakes are where we end up most of the time. Our favorite destinations are Bullards Beach State Park and Detroit Lake State Rec area, driving on Sunset Beach, Cannon and Manzanita, Seaside and Cape Disappointment. We also try to make it to Lake Billy Chinook once a year. We love taking the kids out on the boat or crabbing and fishing at the beach.

The business started with renting our 28ft trailer and we enjoyed making others vacation dreams come true. It wasn't long before we had 4 trailers and 2 beach houses. It's been a true labor of love.

About the trailers:
Crookshanks is a 28ft Keystone Passport Ultra lite (Extended Season) that sleeps 8, with a slide and outdoor kitchen
Greebo is a 2013 25ft Keystone Passport Ultra Lite (Extended Season) that sleeps 5
Sprockets is a 2018 American Dream Trailer Boat (only a handful of it’s kind) Custom Made that sleep 2
Lady May is a fully restored, Vintage, 1971 Red Dale Travel Trailer that sleeps 3

Mermaids Song is a 4 bedroom, 1.5 bath Beach Bungalow that sleeps 10, one ( Very Short) block to the beach and the Necanicum River (estuary) in Seaside Oregon

Swallow The Anchor is a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2 story house that sleeps 14 with Sunset Lake access in the back and Sunset Beach to it's front.

Why they chose this property

We chose this house for it's unique appearance and beautiful and bold color. It has amazing sunsets and sunrises which is something we both have always admired. The location can't be beat. You truly are in the heart of everything the North Coast has to offer yet the feeling that you have retreated to a sanctuary. The lake offers endless activities and the beach is just a a stroll though the private wooded beach trails. It never gets old watching the deer and elk and the variety of beautiful birds and other wildlife.

What makes this property unique

Swallow The Anchor is close to everything. Truly we can go from Astoria to Rockaway in a day and experience each towns nuance. The wildlife that calls Surf Pines home are majestic to watch and the house itself is spacious but intimate and can easily be enjoyed by two or fourteen.
