About the host
Hosted by Kayla Dahl
Hi there, I’m Kayla! A proud native of Oregon state. With Oregons diverse terrain it allows for all sorts of activities. There are so many things I enjoy but to name a few- I love hiking, kayaking, and wake-surfing! I’ve had my own practice in massage therapy since 2009. Specializing in Neuromuscular Therapy. When I’m not doing something outside or relieving muscle tension, you’ll find me working on a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle with my cats in my lap.
Why they chose this property
A secluded house ON the Willamette River with a wrap around deck; where you can watch the gorgeous colors of the sunset reflecting on the river… I mean, need I say more? This property is an absolute gem!
What makes this property unique
You’re not going to find a short term rental on the Willamette River in salem WITH river access. But what makes this property even more special is the 2.5 acres that spans alongside the river. No neighbors to the right, no neighbors to the left. And across the river? farm land. With little to no light pollution, stargazing is a must! On a clear night it’s absolutely stunning. You’re in the river but you feel like you’re in the forest- thanks to all of the trees! A Cherry tree, an Apple tree, a gorgeous white magnolia tree amongst many Maple and Evergreens. Tucked in and secluded makes this property a safe haven for white tail deer. You might wake up to a deer drinking on the riverbank- absolutely precious! we have a resident bald eagle who likes to perch up on the tops of the trees. You might even see him/her dive into the river for some lunch. Squirrels, bunnies, blue herons, humming birds- soooo many birds. Not only will you see ALL types of wildlife, you’ll get to meet our sweet goats! A mother and daughter duo -Hazel and Stella ❤️ from the skylight windows, floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors for EACH bedroom with a view! 3 full bathrooms. What more can one ask for?? I’ll say it again, this property is an absolute gem!
