Traveling nurse: stayed for 3 months. Wish it was longer. Very safe, gated community. Easy access to Portland hospitals. Family visited on weekends. We docked our 17 foot bowrider and it was amazing to just jump on the boat for a ride after work. If you’re a travel nurse or just looking for a great family getaway, I highly recommend.

I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. James’ floating g home was such a treat. Incredibly comfortable, well-stocked & such a beautiful setting. Thank you for opening your home!

We stayed in this floating home from late May till the beginning of September, and it is, as advertised, a very Peaceful Retreat on the Columbia. We miss being there, enjoying morning tea, cocktails or dinner on the deck, watching the parade of boats go by, chatting with the very friendly neighbors, and enjoying the wildlife all around us. There were many different species of ducks, geese, a great blue heron who hung around the moorage, and we even saw a beaver while there.
James was a wonderful host who made the check-in process so easy for us and has his home stocked with everything you need. He keeps the house in great repair. The house was clean and appliances all worked great.
Our family and friends in the area loved to come to this unique home and experience being on the river with us. We enjoyed launching our kayak off the back dock and jumping in the water to cool down. Also, walks around the moorage allowed you to see many different floating homes and meet interesting people who live in a very special community.
The location was convenient drive to downtown Portland or go north and spend some time in revitalized Vancouver, WA.. You could also ride a bike or walk to TriMet to get to downtown. We made day trips up the Gorge and to Mt Hood. We also spent a nice afternoon in Astoria on our way back from the Oregon Coast and were still home in time for dinner.
We cannot wait to return and roll on the river again soon.
