About this property

Spacious riverfront lodge with beach access, private hot tub & forest views

Summary:

River Bend Lodge



The Space:

The River Bend Lodge certainly lives up to its name - a shady, wooded spot directly across from a waterfall in the Columbia Gorge area better! Rent this Washougal River vacation home and you’ll never want to leave. Oh yeah, and there’s a hot tub.



Builty by hand in 1972, this cabin accommodates up to eight guests comfortably. Enjoy a dramatic, two-story rock fireplace in cooler temps and a furnished deck on warm afternoons.



The lodge is built into the side of a hill, so you'll enter on the upper level, through the carport (that has room for two vehicles). Upon entering, make sure to slip off your shoes as this is a tread-free home. Plus, it’s more relaxing!



Gather on the deck to check in with your friends as the sun sets. Late at night, why not zone out in the media room, with its chaise and 60-inch plasma TV with Blu-ray and streaming Netflix? The chaise sofa also converts into a queen-size bed for those sleeping in this room.



You may prefer to sit quietly by the tall native rock, wood-burning fireplace and gaze out at the panoramic of the waterfall and Washougal River. This vista will surely lure you outdoors, where there’s croquet, a horseshoe pit, and even whitewater rafting and tubing nearby.



In the fully stocked kitchen, you’ll have all the basic tools needed to fix a feast. You’ll even have a Keurig coffeemaker! Check out the propane grill outside - a freshly grilled meal will be delightful to share at the massive hand-hewn black walnut dining table.



After dinner, soak in the luxurious hot tub under an expansive roof and before unobstructed views of the ancient forest and river all year round. Pro tip: warm your spa towels in the dryer beforehand!



On the lower level, you have the master bedroom with a comfortable king-size bed. The adjacent bath has double sinks and tub with rainfall showerhead. A door at the end of the bath leads to the laundry room where you'll find a laundry room, which also has its own exterior door so you won't have to worry about tracking mud and sand through the house.



The surrounding forest is part of a 26-acre family compound that is shared with Eva's Cottage, a getaway for four that can be rented together with River Bend Lodge. Eva's descendants steward the land and maintain the forest with an eye to the enjoyment of future generations. There are four trails that wind through the property, so be sure to bring your hiking boots!



This highly rated and recommended Columbia Gorge vacation rental is a favorite. Find out for yourself the magic you could experience here at the River Bend Lodge!

House was clean and as described. Worked out perfect for the three nights we were there. Beautiful location and close to the washougal MX track. Communication with property management was kind of delayed from the time of booking to check in date. One thing that was frustrating is that I did not receive a house door code for property access until I called property management company an hour after check in time.

Amazing private section of the river with a small waterfall on the opposite bank! We loved this spot! It felt secluded. Everything we needed for our group of 6! We spent a lot of time at the river skipping rocks, enjoying the sounds of the river, talking and laughing and doing a polar plunge! We ate and played games indoors and enjoyed the hot tub also. Beautiful location!

The house was an absolute dream! We loved every inch of the lodge, the attention to detail and care put into the space made it so welcoming and comfortable. There was so much to admire inside but obviously the beauty outside is what really captured our attention. Such an incredible location, we loved every minute of being there and would love to come back soon!

The giant windows, the trees and the river, and the fireplace were exquisite. Well stocked kitchen. Like most all rentals, only scratched non-stick pots and pans available. But! They had an electric kettle! As a tea drinker, I was so pleased. The home and property are just beautiful! Don’t hesitate:)

Already planning my fifth trip to this amazing property!!

We have been here 4 times already and boy do we love it! The river access is chefs kiss. Come in June, the river will be cold but the air and sun will be warm, come in August and the water will be warm but it rained most of the time. Hot tub is always perfect. Love that there is an accessible hose to wipe off your feet. So many amazing ways i can tell you I love this property but it’s good for groups, you feel private and we keep coming back.

This is a great house on the Washougal River. Lots of things to do in the area, but also lovely to just spend time here. Everything was spotless and the house is quite comfortable with lots of space.
