About this property

Beautiful, Quiet, Country Setting on Willamette River

We are located in Peoria, Oregon on the Willamette River. Our spacious (600sq ft) quarters with it's own entrance is privately located on the North end of our 100 year old granary residence. We offer beautiful grounds to stroll, the river to enjoy, and the peacefulness of country living.

Here at the Old River Granary there are plenty of opportunities to play, rest, and relax. Take a walk down the river, shoot a game of pool, or just relax in the hammock by the river.

Step out on the private balcony and see both sunrise over the Cascade mountains and sunset over the coast range. Views vary with the seasons.

Corvallis, home of Oregon State University, is located just 10 minutes away and offers a friendly home town atmosphere with a variety of stores, river front restaurants and a wonderful farmers market (Apr-Nov) with fresh local produce, fruits, flowers, honey, jams and more.

The Old Granary is truly a little piece of paradise, away from the stress of everyday life. We think your stay at the River Guest Quarters will be an experience to remember...and we welcome you!

Lovely Riv Spot!

Me and my 2 friends had a lovely time staying here :) We spent almost the entire day on that couch overlooking the riv. So peaceful and relaxing, I loved it here. It felt much more like a real home than any other vacation rental I've ever stayed in! Loved all the comfy sitting areas, the bed was super cozy, the kitchen was well stocked and easy to use, everything was clean and comfortable and great :) Thanks so much guys! We had a great time!

Paradise at the Riverhaus!

Our best VRBO experience, by far! The Riverhaus is the perfect place to stay while enjoying all of what the Willamette valley has to offer. Quietly nestled in Peoria along the Willamette River, this cottage is a rare find. It’s well cared for, clean, comfortable, has incredible views and the hosts are terrific!

If you love nature, big trees and simply relaxing and watching the river flow we invite you to book with us. Our little town10 miles away offers an array of food at various restaurants as well as shopping, hiking, walking, and biking. If you prefer to stay on the property we have miles of open farmland to walk and bike with little to no traffic. Once you shop at the markets in town and prefer to not eat out the kitchen has everything you need to prepare your home cooked meal.

Lovely, quiet stay by the river.

We stayed here over a long weekend and loved it! The grounds are just gorgeous with all of the blooming plants and, of course, the river just adds to the beauty. We sat by it every evening. Kathy and Gregg were so kind and accommodating with our toddler daughter, even offering us apple pie (it was delicious). The bed is very comfortable and the rooms stayed cool even in 100+ heat. We'd definitely stay here again when we're in the area.

Quiet location

My daughter and I were in Oregon for events in Eugene, and booked the Riverhaus. Very quiet location between Corvallis and Eugene that worked well for what we needed.

Relax and unwind

Such a peaceful piece of paradise. Well stocked, with lots of windows. This is a very cozy, relaxing unit; a perfect place to unwind. Easy drive to Corvallis and Newport. We were blessed with beautiful fall weather so it was nice to take advantage of all the Willamette Valley has to offer. There is an easy river walk in downtown Corvallis near OSU, great restaurants, plus many wineries.

We have been blessed with our peaceful home on the river. We love sharing our guest apartment and try to provide all the things that make it homey and relaxing. Our little town of Corvallis is such a jewel we never tire of walking around, shopping , dining, hiking, walking and riding our bikes on the great bike path that goes for about 10 miles. When we want a change in weather we love that we can be at the coast in just a little over an hour. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope the next time you are in the Willamette Valley you will think of us.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy and Gregg Jakobson

Host profile image
Moved from Laguna Beach to escape the density of California and feel so blessed to have purchased this historic 100 year old granary on the 10th largest river in the United States. Country living is a dream come true.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property the day it went up for sale. We were walking our dogs from the home we had been renting which we intended to rent for a year before deciding to make Oregon our permanent residence. It was providential! How often does a 100 year old Granary on the water come up for sale? The rest is history

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this unique piece of property, the old barn, the Douglas fir wood floors the wood beams and ceilings, the incredible river view the country living that provides serene and peaceful surroundings. Watching the eagles dive into the water and come up with a fish, all the species of birds right outside our windows. Relaxing in our hammock overlooking the river. Remodeling and watching all the potential this property had was an amazing journey. We fall more in love with it with each passing day and remain grateful for our lives here at the Old Granary.
