The Otter House was everything we hoped for! The location on the river was relaxing and the house had so many accommodations. Owner Heidi was very accessible and provided all sorts of recommendations - which was a wonderful added bonus. We enjoyed kayaking, SUP'ing, reading/eating/playing games on the deck. The sauna and espresso machine were fun extras. We spent our days out exploring Portland and the surrounding areas, and looked forward to coming home to the house each night. Beds and pillows were comfortable, everything was clean, soaking tub was relaxing, and location was great for accessing all sorts of fun! We are already looking forward to a return trip! Thank you, Heidi, for sharing Otter House with us! :)

We loved our stay at this cozy and beautiful floating home. We particularly loved the cleanliness of the space and we instantly felt at home with the warm pellet stove, comfortable beds and all the things you could need in the kitchen, even some snacks and beverages. We also really enjoyed the outdoor space! The owner was wonderful and easy to communicate with. We wished we could have stayed a bit longer and hope to return!

The house is well decorated throughout. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook there. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay there. The reason that we didn’t check 5 stars is because of the lack of additional notes that we feel it needed to help guests to locate the unit and the designated parking spaces, especially after dusk. Secondly, a warning should be posted about the steep ramp from the street to the unit for guests with luggage, especially the ones with mobility issues. I have provided a private feedback to the owner about those points.

We loved the unique experience of a floating home. The Otter House was clean with a cheerful vibe. The kitchen had a well stocked pantry and cookware, so if you want to eat in and enjoy the river views you can. I also did a load of laundry. Our beds were comfortable as well. I'd return again.

Spent 3 wonderful days hanging out on the Columbia River — right on the river! Jumped off the deck into the river, paddled kayaks around the area, slept in, watched sunsets.
Wonderful relaxing getaway.
The host went above and beyond our expectations. We arrived to a lovely and tasty cheese antipasto platter, along with a bottle of local wine. Absolutely everything was first rate. We will return for sure.

I was fortunate enough to stay at this gem that served as a home-away-from home. The amenities of the Otter House are unparalleled. If you're a coffee afficionado or like spending quiet time reading, watching nature, kayaking, or simply just relaxing with loved ones, you MUST stay here. The kitchen is truly chef's kiss on point -- I had no trouble baking and even did a full roast chicken dinner because the kitchen had everything needed.
The decor is incredibly stylish and yet the house is very comfortable. There is plenty of room for five people with two bedrooms that had the most comfortable mattresses.
If you're looking for a truly exceptional place to stay that is a unique experience, staying at the Otter House on the Columbia River is THE place. The host is so thoughtful -- we felt special and welcomed and wouldn't hesitate to book again.
