Absolutely amazing place. Cute little old home well remodeled. Comfortable beds and stunning property. Fruit trees and great landscaping . Beautiful covered porch. Nice sandy beach . 10 out of 10 for me
Very nice getaway house. Everything was clean, working and stocked. Even with the weather being less than ideal for our stay, the wood fireplace was awesome. Will definitely stay again.
This property and Jeanine are beyond excellent. We love the ambience of the home and the surrounding property...Would not stay at another house on the island...
Beautiful view of the river...perfect place for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Home is very comfortable and cosy. Exactly the quiet location i hoped for.
Excellence in cleanliness, functionality, and maintained property both indoors and outdoors.
Numerous furnishings were provided and in tip top condition. We didn’t do a lot of cooking, yet all needed kitchen appliances and equipment is there and located for convenient use. We appreciate such a neat, clean place to stay.
A very comfortable/well kept refuge right on the river. Between drives to Ridgefield preserve and Astoria, spent most of our time on the back porch watching the birds and ships. Think I'm going to get a job on the Oscar B so I can just stay on Puget Island.
My husband and I spent three nights here and enjoyed the water view and access. The backyard offered several areas to relax and hang out plus the back porch for dinner was wonderful. We brought our sea kayaks and took the ferry to oregon one day, paddling further down river . We were also able to paddle out of Skamakawa. Lots to do - or time to do nothing- whatever you want. Loved coming back from paddling to relax on the river.
The cottage is wonderful. So cute and cozy. We only left the amazing backyard oasis- with a beautiful river view to take the little ferry to the Astoria Sunday Farmers market.
The birdwatching was so relaxing. Great for Kayaks.
The place is quiet and clean with very tasteful and adorable decor. We will definitely return.
If you have alfalfa or cottonwood allergies plan accordingly as the island had a lot of pollen during my weekend.
This home is perfect, the view is beautiful and watching the hummingbirds and the other beautiful birds is so relaxing. Sitting outside on the wonderful deck watching the ships drinking coffee was more than we could ask for. We didn’t get to have a fire down by the river because it was raining but we do plan on returning, the fire pit and chairs by the river would have been nice I’m sure. Our host was great answered any questions I had, Thankyou for sharing your beautiful cottage, and we do hope to stay again.
There were four of us who went to Puget Island to visit our daughter, who happened to lived on the same street as the bohemian home. This house was very clean well stocked with all the kitchen utensils you’d ever think of in fact, it’s better stocked than my own home, the house is on the river with a beautiful fenced in backyard and the front yard is beautiful as well. The check-in was easy the reservation was easy I would definitely recommend this to anybody who wanted to be near or on Puget Island, Cathlamet, or even Longview. This house has three bathrooms, two full bathrooms, and a toilet in a sink in the master bedroom makes it soo convenient with 4 adults. The house is so cutely decorated. In fact, my daughter said she wants that house. We enjoyed seeing deer in the yard on a daily basis cows across the street it’s very relaxing we would definitely stay again.
This is a cute little place and the location on the river is good. I’d read other reviews that mentioned the matresses and ignored. However our experience of the beds (double and twin) were not good. We took turns sleeping on the day bed because those in bedrooms were very boggy.
I appreciate our host alerting me in advance as soon as she knew there were active bees on-site - a tough reality this time of year. Unfortunately I was stung multiple times and did not want to spend any time in the yard or deck. As we’d planned to kayak from the beach this really hampered our enjoyment of the property. Lastly the shower walls in the upstairs bath clearly had not been cleaned after the last guests.
Overall I think with better/new matresses I’d come back again - but not in the summer. Recommend that yellow jacket/wasp traps be hung out in June and maintained all summer.
Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022

Thanks for your input! I came after your departure and took care of a ground bees nest - with your information I discovered it's location and remedied the situation. Unfortunately, you are correct with all the fruit trees and summer, it is tough to control. I apologize you were not able to fully enjoy the property and I'm happy to extend a discount if you want to return at another time.
we loved this charming, clean place on the island. Everything was
perfect. We will be back in the future. Very friendly and caring
host.

This was a fantastic place to spend a few summer days- direct access to over a mile of sandy beach on the shores of the Columbia, near perfect silence except for the multitude of birds, deer wandering through the yard to clean up the fallen apples and plums, and a fully equipped house in exquisite shape. Jeanine was clear and quick in her communications, and left lots of helpful information on activities in the area. Lovely place that we would recommend to anyone for a peaceful getaway.
