About this property

Astoria's premier suite on the Columbia River.

Located on upper level of the historic Pier 14 Pilot Station (still operated by the Columbia River Pilots) the Pilot House is an elegantly appointed luxury suite in the heart of Astoria's historic waterfront. Surrounded by water, nearly every room offers a panoramic view of the Columbia River. The dock is a 24 hour working dock, with pilots and pilot boat coming and going. (There is noise from pilot boat starting and pilots coming and going all night)

The 1700 square foot unit has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths with 4 gas fireplaces. The spacious living room has leather furniture with a queen-size sofa bed. There is a fully stocked kitchen with a dining room that can seat 6 people. The master bedroom suite has a king size bed, full bathroom with Jacuzzi bathtub and shower with a private deck off to the river.
The Pilot House has the warmth and feel of a home with high-end features of a four-star hotel. The building was restored in 2005 and is listed on the National Historic Register of Historic places. Inside you will find museum quality maritime artifacts throughout.
Astoria is the perfect getaway for any interest... history, outdoor adventure, or maritime activity. The Pilot House is within walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and many local attractions. Both the 5-mile river walk and trolley line run right outside the door.

We enjoyed our stay at The Pilot House on the Columbia River. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds comfortable, and the location was perfect! We had two cars so we appreciated the extra parking. The home had plenty of room for three couples. Highly recommend!

If I could give 10 stars to this place, I would give it… It was everything as advertised plus more for comfort and class and outstanding facilities for our use. Since it rained a lot, we enjoyed having the huge windows that we could view the activities on the river outside, and we loved having the fireplaces in each bedroom. It was classy, clean, friendly house, and made our trip to Astoria, so very enjoyable. I’m afraid that we’re going to be spoiled to comparing this with places in the future and they’re not gonna add up. Thank you for being such a blessing to our family on this trip.

The Pilot House is fantastic! It was a wonderful space with everything we needed. The location and views of the river are unbeatable. The proximity to downtown, Fort George, the Maritime Museum, and River trail are great. Communication and coordination with the host were easy and resp. We really enjoyed our stay. We had high expectations and the Pilot House exceeded them.

Beautiful Spot in the Heart of Downtown

We had a great time during our stay. The views are incredible, the pilot house was incredibly spacious and walking distance to so many fun things. I would 100% book this again if I were planning another trip to Astoria.

We have stayed here for several years. The six of us love it, especially the two kids--they love to watch the big ships come in and out and the pilot boats going to meet them. The check in process is easy and the kitchen is fine.

This was one of the most unique VRBOs that we have rented. That said it was the most expensive VRBO we have ever rented. The location is incredible. To be right on the river watching the ship traffic was wonderful. The proximity to the downtown restaurant / brewery scene was awesome. The beds were very comfortable. And the kitchen was nicely appointed. I absolutely loved looking at the nautical artifacts. We are hoping to come back someday.

Our group of 3 couples had such a good time at this VRBO! The views were outstanding from every window, and we all enjoyed watching the large ships come and go. Being able to walk to everything so easily was wonderful—do not miss the Maritime Museum! The beds were comfy and we all slept well. The house itself had everything we needed and was decorated with unique maritime antiques. If you have a chance to rent this property-do it! It is a memory-making experience.
