About this property

Sportsman Retreat - Columbia Riverside w/ Dock -Sleeps 15

Riverfront vacation home on 30 acre farm.
Well suited as a professional remote office, Group-family-sport retreats and Wedding functions. On the beautiful Columbia with views up and down the river. WORK CREW DISCOUNTS. Sorry - No Pets.

This is a large 3500 sq ft guest house with dock and outstanding views of the river. With 5+ bedrooms, 4 baths and sleeping capacity for up to 15. The Kitchen-Dining area seats 16. Electric heat WITH A/C. Corporate discounts and direct billing possible.
We prefer a 5 day minimum rental since the 10 hour cleaning time makes short stays less feasible.
FOR SHORTER STAYS, OUR OTHER SMALLER HOUSES "SPORTSMAN PARADISE - COLUMBIA RIVER" will sleep 6-8; and Columbia House Waterfront/dock sleeps 4-6.

Secluded but only, 1 hr from Portland Airport and 45+ min to historic Astoria Oregon, and Washington beach and coastal towns, for day trips. This is also a favorite Seattle-Portland-San Francisco long weekend escape.

Many sports: boating, sailing, paddle boarding, fishing, hiking and touring. Boat ramp-dock (10 ft deep).
Pets
We regret that several negative incidents with guest pets including injuries to farm animals, kids and adults, along with allergy reactions by owners, causes us to no longer accept pets - sorry. There are several pet lodging facilities nearby if recommendations are requested.

Business Office Ready
We often rent to subcontractor work crews from Wauna (20 min), Longview (20min), Vancouver (40 min), Portland (60 min). Fiberoptic 120MBS Internet. DirectTV, Netflix, and LASER PRINTER. Retreat here for quiet view of river, wildlife, sunsets and Mt. St. Helens.
Fully Furnished
The house is fully equipped with all clean linens and hotel type toiletries upon arrival. Daily made service is not provided but available. A full kitchen is provided including many of the condiments you might need. Check our stock of ketchup, mustard, steak and fish seasoning, spices, olive oil and mayo type condiments before bringing your own. People tend to leave what they don't need there for the next group. But the local Safeway grocery is only 10 minutes in Clatskanie and open until 11:00PM. The deck is great for: entertaining with a gas barbecue, toasting the sunsets, or watching the waterfowl and eagles. Life jackets and a few fishing poles are available.

Guest access
Guests have use of the entire house, dock, 5 acre lawn, and Boat ramp usage is also included. A few water toys are available to to use. A few life jackets for adults and children are available but you may want your own for your kids. Life jackets always needed for water sports. Swimming off dock available for good swimmers or those with life jackets, but water too deep for wading.

Guest interaction
There is a nearby host available to handle any issues that may arise during the stay

Neighborhood overview
This is a rare rural-farm neighborhood area on the lower Columbia where the homes are total river front without crossing a road to get to the river. Your dock starts 30 feet from the house front door. Paved roads are available for country biking (but no bike lanes), and you can hike within our 200 acres of foothill timberland providing outstanding views.

Fishing Guidance - Chartering
I have talked to the folks at "Gone Catchin Guide" Service .

Oregon hunting and fishing licenses and limited gear are available 10 minutes away in Clatskanie. Also, Bob's Sports in Longview (30 minutes) is the Largest fishing supply selection in northwest. You can fish the Columbia River with either an Oregon or Washington fishing license. I recommend doing some charter fishing if you don't have your own boat. The charter captains know how to fish them best. Charters are available in Longview, Astoria and a few other locations along the river. Contact me for recommendations.

Getting around
Off street parking for cars, boat trailers or RV. We have RV power and water available but not sewer hook-ups

Comfy with plenty of room
The house had plenty of room and is located in a quiet, out of the way place so we had plenty of peace and quiet. We enjoyed watching the river and seeing the different wildlife.

Relaxation with a View
Three generations of family could enjoy together and apart. Groups could come and go with ease. Kitchen was well stocked (could use a 12x14 cake pan but we made do). The dining room was good for puzzling and group dinning. The windows and the view were perfect to just sit and enjoy. Loved the dock, plan to bring a swimming ladder next time so us old folks can get in and out. The TV and internet must have been OK because we didn't hear any complaining from the youngsters. Oh my sister could have used a new frying pan - she burnt the chopped onions. In short it was one of our best family vacations.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Miller

Host profile image
Consultant engineer, farmer, and engineering professor emeritus from Univ of Michigan. My wife was raised on these lands and her father was a Finnish gilnet salmon fisherman. Please enjoy this as one of our guest houses among several properties making up our river front tract of land where we are trying to restore the riverfront for recreational purposes.

Why they chose this property

This is a beautiful 30 acre farm with over 1/4 mile of waterfront on and along the Columbia. The views to the river and use of the riverfront is fabulous. The house itself is about 10 years old on three levels totaling almost 3700 sq ft. with 5 bedrooms and plenty of room for a big group.
But using only the upper two levels makes it a standard 2-3 bedroom, 3 bath house suitable for a smaller family. We liked that it is flexible from small to large groups.

What makes this property unique

Lawn is almost 5 acres, but we take care of the lawn. But for a family reunion or lawn sports events it can be perfect.
