About this property

Astoria's premier suite on the Columbia River.

Located on upper level of the historic Pier 14 Pilot Station (still operated by the Columbia River Pilots) the Pilot House is an elegantly appointed luxury suite in the heart of Astoria's historic waterfront. Surrounded by water, nearly every room offers a panoramic view of the Columbia River. The dock is a 24 hour working dock, with pilots and pilot boat coming and going. (There is noise from pilot boat starting and pilots coming and going all night)

The 1700 square foot unit has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths with 4 gas fireplaces. The spacious living room has leather furniture with a queen-size sofa bed. There is a fully stocked kitchen with a dining room that can seat 6 people. The master bedroom suite has a king size bed, full bathroom with Jacuzzi bathtub and shower with a private deck off to the river.
The Pilot House has the warmth and feel of a home with high-end features of a four-star hotel. The building was restored in 2005 and is listed on the National Historic Register of Historic places. Inside you will find museum quality maritime artifacts throughout.
Astoria is the perfect getaway for any interest... history, outdoor adventure, or maritime activity. The Pilot House is within walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and many local attractions. Both the 5-mile river walk and trolley line run right outside the door.

This was one of the most unique VRBOs that we have rented. That said it was the most expensive VRBO we have ever rented. The location is incredible. To be right on the river watching the ship traffic was wonderful. The proximity to the downtown restaurant / brewery scene was awesome. The beds were very comfortable. And the kitchen was nicely appointed. I absolutely loved looking at the nautical artifacts. We are hoping to come back someday.

We have stayed here for several years. The six of us love it, especially the two kids--they love to watch the big ships come in and out and the pilot boats going to meet them. The check in process is easy and the kitchen is fine.

This was a lovely place and is well represented by the website description. We were in town to attend my daughter’s wedding. The location could not have been more perfect, close to everything! Two things truly set this apart. First, it is beautiful. Polished wood throughout, reminiscent it’s namesake, The Pilot House. Second, the view is incredible. There is a panoramic view of the the Columbia River, and its workings, as well as the mountains and bridges. The actual Pilot boats (we never heard them) dock there and were fascinating to watch (especially after learning about them at the Maritime Museum). The kitchen was well stocked and the beds quite comfortable. Everyone that stayed with us was very pleased. And our other friends, were just jealous!

Great stay and perfect location

The property was fantastic and we had good communication with the host. We have been traveling to Astoria for about 20 years and really enjoy being on the river....staying here is as close as you can get without being on a boat. I will stay here again in the future for sure.

A perfect place by the river

The views of the river are terrific. The living room wall is all glass and it was fascinating to watch the big ships go in and out, as well as the pilot boats go out to meet them and assist them through the difficult waters in and out of the ocean. The location is terrific--you can easily walk to several restaurants from the VRBO as well as walk to the Marine Museum, which is well worth the walk.

Amazing Stay

We were super excited about our stay at the Pilot House and it was even better than we expected. Beds are super comfortable, kitchen well appointed and you can’t beat the view! It was really exciting being right in the middle of all the boats/ships comings and goings. And the location is great too! Right in the historic part of town. We loved our stay and would love to come back! Thank you Pilot House (and Teresa) for your wonderful hospitality!

What makes this property unique

The property is on the National Historic Register. Built in 1904 by the Callender Navigation Company for the headquarters for their tug and barge business. Also, Pier 14 served as the terminus of the Megler Ferry which made the crossing to and from Washington.

The long history in the maritime industry continues today as the communication center and pilot boat launch for the Columbia River Pilots. The Pilot House gives you a front row seat to viewing pilots boarding and disembarking from the passing ships.
