About this property
Panoramic Riverside and Lush Forests Views, Pet Friendly, New Décor, Steps Away From Dockside
Nestled atop the slopes above the Tualatin River resides one of the more unique and special escapes the region has to offer. Please note this location sits on a piece of property where there is another one bedroom retreat (Marv's Place), a long term residence, and even a small business office. While any of the locations you stay at, your privacy is completely respected, however there may be other activity in the area including at the incredible shared areas such as the oversized hanging iron firepit or the meandering stairs leading to the property's Tualatin River dock. Due to the geographical setting, we do ask that there are not kids under 12 as the drop-off to the river below could be quite hazardous for kiddos.
The 'Goat Shed' was originally just that in days yonder. Now it is an exquisite one bedroom, one bath escape, with a full kitchen and laundry. Every aspect has been renovated, upgraded, and furnished to create a perfect blend of comfort and style all. The entire space was designed to highlight the incredible riverside and forest views. It's hard to beat enjoying a morning or evening beverage tableside while looking over the picturesque setting.
As if that wasn't enough, just a couple dozen feet away you will find the 'Zen Den'. This is another bedroom with its own, mini fridge, sink, seating, and toilet. Please do note, it does not have its own shower. That is shared and within with the Goat Shed. While it may be missing it's own shower, what it does have is a perched deck overlooking the Tualatin River with views that have to be experienced to believe. You will want to spend every moment out here you can. These two spaces make up 'The Cedars at Rivers Edge'.
The outdoor area at the property is quite special. The areas that are specific to this retreat are the deck and immediate outside areas of the Goat Shed and Zen Den. The large fire-pit area is a shared space with Marv's Place as well. The patio under Marv's Place is only for guests of that unit. Also as we mentioned earlier there is a small office above Marv's Place so people may come and go throughout the day. There is ample parking available for guests on the property as well. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all.
PET FRIENDLY: **There is a $50 pet fee per pet with a maximum of $150 (3 pets). Although we are pet-friendly please note your pet must not be left unattended at the house without you present, even if in a crate/kennel. Failure to adhere to the house rules as it pertains to pets may result in cancellation of the booking with no refund. **

What an amazing property. A true river front retreat. Peaceful and serene. The hosts were so kind, ensuring our stay was comfortable. I highly recommend and will stay again!
The place was beautiful, the hosts were gracious and the setting was magical. This was a last minute booking for us as we needed a retreat from the city for a few days and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Our dog ( a Great Pyrenees ) loved it too!
My small family enjoyed the peaceful environment, only a short drive from downtown West Linn. The patios overlooking the river were perfect for lounging, and outdoor blankets are provided to ensure cooler evenings are cozy. Our goodest doggo found plenty to sniff while walking the short loop around the property. Be aware there are unpaved sections between the parking area and both ADUs where luggage needs to be hand carried (not rolled). Next time I'll bring my camping wagon!
My husband and father-in-law stayed here and it was very nice. We enjoyed kayaking on the river in the morning, and having nice fires at night. There was plenty of wood, and amenities in the home.
As lovely as pictured. What you can't see in the pictures is the river and the amazing calming sounds that come along with that! We stayed 5 nights and loved them all, in fact we are already planning our next stay.
This was the most beautiful rental I’ve ever stayed at. Gorgeous location. 2 individual little homes overlooking the river. The bed was so comfortable, I never wanted to leave!
Perfect combination of a feeling of remoteness and proximity to everything, Portland, beach, mountains, dessert absolutely the perfect hub for seeing all the wonder of Oregon! So peaceful and tranquil hard to leave to go exploring!
Picture perfect stay on the river. Close to Portland. Close to wine country. So peaceful and serene, can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful place
We went in October and stayed with another couple friend of ours. The place was beautiful. It was clean, nicely decorated and the scenery outside was just gorgeous. We went hiking, did wine tastings, and had a fabulous time.
Both "the Goat Shed" and the "Zen Den" are beautiful. The setting is lovely. The Goat Shed is one of the best equipped kitchen I have had in at VRBO. Beautiful and comfortable. It was a wonderful stay.
Our family enjoyed our stay here. We used it as a base to explore the area. It was good to have a quiet place in the forest to come back to and relax. Thanks.
