About this property

Riverfront Portland Area Cottage. The ultimate romantic and peaceful retreat!

Indulge in the splendor of our enchanting river-front guest house, where tranquility meets romance. This retreat is a sanctuary for those seeking a respite from the chaos of everyday life. Immerse yourself in the mesmerizing views of the Willamette river through the expansive windows and double French doors that grace both the cottage's living room and loft sleeping area.

Step outside onto the cantilevered deck that seems to embrace the river, offering a slice of paradise with a semi-private rocky beach and a vast manicured lawn, complete with a welcoming fire pit. Feel the allure of the water as you embark on a kayaking adventure, with complimentary kayaks at your disposal, or bring your own to enhance your river escapade. The guesthouse, with its separate driveway, ensures an intimate and private retreat away from the main-house grounds.

The awe-inspiring river views are complemented by a thoughtfully designed interior. The main level beckons with a cozy living room featuring a plush sofa and a smart TV, a fully stocked kitchen with delightful coffee and snacks, and a spacious office nook overlooking the tranquil waters. Ascend to the loft sleeping area, where a sumptuous queen bed awaits, flanked by two nightstands with convenient outlets for all your electronic needs.

As a note, the uniquely designed stairs to the loft add a touch of character but may pose a challenge for those with mobility concerns. Rest assured, we prioritize your safety and cleanliness, rigorously disinfecting the property after every use. Additionally, we are pleased to provide extra sanitizer and masks for your peace of mind.

Embark on a retreat like no other – let the river embrace you, and allow our majestic guesthouse to become the backdrop for your unforgettable escape.

We around 5-10 minutes from charming and historic downtown Oregon City with world class breweries and restaurants, and going the other direction, downtown Portland is only 15-20 minutes by car.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Amazing Stay

Located right on the river and it was wonderful. Waking up in the morning and the first thing you see is the view of the water. Beautiful place and loved the deck area. Owners were very responsive and it was so relaxing. Will definitely be booking this lovely house again. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Great place for us to stay as a couple for a few days. The listing was accurately portrayed. Umbrella on deck was broken and internet was spotty. Everything else we truly enjoyed. We used the Kayak's one day and it was a nice treat.

Serenity by the River

Perfect spot for my solo trip!! Morning coffee and an evening glass of wine overlooking the spectacular view of the river provided beauty and peace to my days. The location was central to every activity and place that I wanted to experience. The Tea Festival was great! Did some hiking, and enjoyed fantastic meals at a variety of restaurants within a 30 minute drive (which is nothing when you’re from Texas). My home away from home offered all I needed.
This was the River view during the afternoon.
A beautiful You Pick spot on the island

TA 5:45 AM view of the river casts sunlight on the green trees so they look golden! Worth waking up for.

My wife and I came through Portland to visit our friends on our way back up to Canada. First time I’ve used this app and I’m sure glad I did. It was a lovely place to stay with a great view in the morning!

Communication with the host was quick and seamless. The property is located in a nice neighborhood right on the river. It has a beautiful deck overlooking the river. Great garden like area with a firepit. Great little house with everything you need. Ten minute drive to downtown Oregon City and 30 min drive to Portland. If we are ever in the area we would stay here again.

in town get away

This place was lovely for a quick get away. Very small and quirky and a bit dated, but in a great location. Bathroom door was broken and it seems like the place could use some TLC. No blinds on the windows so the afternoon sun blasts in on a hot day. The internet was not great for working which is what we planned to do during our days. The host however was responsive in sorting this out. Still, a very slow internet connection if you need to do video calls.

River and Portland

Great place! Sweet view of the river from the deck. The river itself is pretty lazy and it was easy to use the kayaks. Just a short carry down the bank to the edge. The inside is cute and cozy. The roof in the upstairs sleeping loft is very pitched, so very short at the edges of the bed but tall in the middle. The stairs up are pretty cool but also require some getting used to. Recommend sobriety for the first couple of times. Good kitchen, clean and well appointed. Big shower in the bathroom, no bathtub, everything was spotless. Easy and relaxing.

We had a wonderful stay! It was truly a perfect retreat from our busy lives! The neighborhood is quiet and lovely. There is a house next-door, but we rarely saw the neighbor. And you should probably know that there can be lot of ski boats that go up and down the river during the day. But for us they became part of the background and not a problem in anyway . The cottage is cozy and because of the wonderful large deck and gorgeous view of the river, we spent a lot of our time there so it felt perfectly spacious. We loved swimming in the river and took full advantage of the 2 kayaks! It’s great to be so close to Portland! Yet because we were so comfortable, we surprised ourselves and ended up only going there one day of our 6 day stay! The bed is very comfy and I agree with the others who said that if you have mobility issues, the steps to the loft are probably not for you - also, mobility issues could make bringing the kayaks up and down the hill from the yard a challenge. We are very grateful that we found this lovely cottage. We would definitely come back here again!

The location is amazing, there are so many good spots nearby for food and attractions. It is so quiet, the main thing you hear is wild animals. This was my first time in Oregon and I will be back again!
