About this house rental

The quintessential Pacific NW getaway! This river retreat is nestled in front of a scenic hillside, has panoramic Columbia River views, and across the walkable road to private beach access. Relax in a natural sanctuary on the mighty Columbia River. This cozy single bedroom features a comfortable queen bed, queen-sized sofa bed, complete kitchen, and laundry. Wildlife abounds in our pristine area and only the soft notes of nesting geese and loons can be heard at night.

This recently-remodeled home sits separately from the main house and is a safe-haven: ideal for individuals, couples, or a small family in search of a private coastal vacation.

Inspired by the grove of red woods in the backyard, the house has a cozy, treehouse feel and a new 400 square-foot deck with a cozy nook to take in the view even when it's raining.

The living room has a new pull-out bed and the bedroom has a comfortable, new queen-sized mattress.

The kitchen is stocked with all necessary cookware and accessories, basic seasonings, coffee/tea, and has full-sized appliances.

Work from the River! We offer high-speed, fiber-optic Internet access.

Your hosts split their time between Portland and Pillar Rock. We will let you know when and if we'll be on-property. Whether we’re there or not, you’ll find the guesthouse to be private, quiet, and relaxing.

We love dogs and allow them with notice and the following criteria:
- Please tell us about your dog before booking
- No large breeds - under 35 pounds please (the house is not large enough for bigger, more powerful dogs)
- Dogs not allowed on bed or couch, nor should they be left alone in the house

Guests will have access to the full home and yard, a shady redwood-treed backyard, and our secluded, lovely, wild beach. Your front-yard fire pit is stocked with fire starter, wood, and marshmallow roasting forks.

The nearest grocery store is 35 minutes away and our road is rural and curvy. Come prepared with all of your provisions so that you can truly relax, enjoy, and leave the world behind.

Lorenzo & HolleyThank you so much for sharing your beautiful spot on the River. We really enjoyed meeting Lorenzo and your pup Maggie (hopefully, we’ll have the chance to meet Holley the next time we come). What an amazing place…. From the little hummingbirds to the gentle deer that stop by the yard every day. We also got to me Georgie boy the cat, he’d hop up on the porch for a visit every morning. Our must favorite part was watching the active ship traffic go by. From big cargo and car carrier ships to the passenger ships and fishing vessels. So entertaining to watch them glide past on the magnificent Columbia River. Again, thanks for sharing your awesome spot with us and our pup Vada (She really settled in and loved hanging out on the porch watching the world go by). Take care….. Chris & Loren

What a wonderful little gem! The home was clean, inviting and very comfortable.The view of the river was amazing and the yard and deck had plenty of places to take it all in. It was evident the owners had put a lot of time and care into making this a relaxing getaway and covering of all the details. Everything exceeded expectations, and we had a wonderful stay.

We had a wonderful two night stay. The description online matched our experience at this guesthouse. The guesthouse was clean, well organized, and put together well. We appreciated the personal touch from our hosts to complete our weekend. We will be coming again to this guesthouse.

Superb. Great views of the Columbia River with many deer (3 pairs of fawns), eagles, osprey and of course ship t raffuc from small cruise ships to huge car and grain haulers.The unit is outfitted with everything we needed and the host and hostess very friendly. Great kitchen and comfortable bed. The front porch was great even on hot afternoons.Two cautions - it is 40 miles to either Astoria or Longview. 10 miles of that on a narrow twisty county road. The beach access and walk to the historic Pillar Rock Cannery is wonderful, but the walk to the beach is very steep.We will be returning next year for another monrh of relaxation.
