About this property

Bohemian River Cottage is a cozy comfortable cottage sitting on the beautiful Columbia river. Located on Puget Island, just 90 minutes outside the Portland/Vancouver area, make it perfect for a weekend getaway or a special weeks vacation. Whether you are looking for outdoor adventures, or relaxing in the hammock listening to the birds, the river is the perfect location to get away from the outside world. Puget island is a farming community in the middle of the river, with outdoor adventures from your door steps. Home comes complete with all necessities for a wonderful vacation. The house has a wonderful outdoor seating area for relaxing, eating, or gathering for games. Don't be surprised if the local deer pass through the yard as you are enjoying watching the eagles dive into the water for lunch - there is always wildlife activity to observe on the island.

Located on the Columbia river between Oregon & Washington just a quick ferry ride from the Oregon side, and a bridge from Washington, Puget Island has beaches, waterways, a boat launch, and some lovely little local farms to purchase locally made goods. Be sure to check out the visitors bureau for local information.

Cathlamet is a cute little nearby town with a home town market for purchasing groceries, but it is suggested you bring the 'harder to find' items from your market or a quick stop in Longview on the way.

The island is one big walking and biking path with waterways throughout for the avid kayaker and SUP enthusiast. Bring your water toys and enjoy !! (water craft shown in photos does not come with rental.)

There is wifi throughout the house, with a Smart TV accessing Amazon Prime, Netflix, Showtime, HBO, Hulu and more. (No local cable access)

Be sure to pay attention to tide charts when arriving and be aware of safety precautions. When the tide is low, is the perfect time to walk on the beach to the west - approximately a mile toward the ferry is a beautiful walk. Then later or earlier, when the tide is higher is the right time to venture out on your watercraft of choice. The kayak can get through most times, but it's better when the water is higher for the paddle board enthusiast. Feel free to ask any questions on either !

For those of you fishing fans, there is a boat launch 2 miles from the house. Fun for everyone !

Home away from home

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.

Lovely, restful stay in the Lower Columbia

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.

perfect escape from the city

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.
