About this house rental
Summary:
Eva's Cottage - Romancing the River
The Space:
Rustic luxury with attention to detail. Eva's Cottage is comfortable and cozy, with many thoughtful touches like the down comforter and pillows on the queen-size, custom-built log bed (truly one of a kind!), and travertine/river rock shower. Relax by the massive stone, wood-burning fireplace, or in the hot tub just outside the greatroom. With wireless internet, internet TV and landline, you'll be as connected as you want, or need to be. This one-bedroom, one-bath, cottage is perfect for a couple or a solo visitor. Alternate lifestyle- and dog-friendly.
he greatroomis dominated by a gas stone fireplace, with antique casement windows overlook the wraparound porch. The nook is a quiet, serene spot for reading or sleeping, and the kitchen is completely furnished to accommodate serious cooks, as well as those seeking a vacation from cooking.
In the well-stocked kitchen you'll find a programmable drip coffee maker, coffee filters, coffee grinder, a French Press, a Keurig, microwave, toaster oven, electric water kettle, placemats, cloth napkins, tea towels and a British hotel teapot with a copper cozy. All this is in addition to a full set of cookware, flatware, glasses, gas grill dinnerware for four, and full-size appliances. Amenities at Eva's Cottage also include toiletries, firewood, and dog towels/cleanup kit (your pooch is welcome).
If you need entertainment beyond watching the deer grazing nearby, you'll find internet TV (there is no other TV reception; the trees are so large they block line of sight to satellites) in greatroom, a TV/DVD/stereo in the bedroom, lots of games and books. Read about the fascinating woman who created this little slice of heaven which bears her name!
Eva's Cottage sits just a few steps from our sandy beach, down a sloping path. It is an idyllic location with many eagles, heron, hawks, and deer, a large 20' deep swimming hole and year-round waterfall. The land surrounding the Cottage and across the river is private and protected. The temperate climate is never too hot or too cold. [Note: beach is shared by residents of nearby home, but they are quiet and respectful of our guests. Please note also that beach fires and fishing from the beach are not allowed (there is great fishing just 1/2 mile downriver, on the other side of the Salmon Falls bridge).]
This 28.5 acre retreat includes a large and rare stand of old-growth Douglas fir, Western cedar, hemlock and maple; some of which are estimated to be more than 300 years old. Eva's descendants steward the land and maintain the forest with an eye to future generations' enjoyment. You'll have access to four trails along the property, so be sure to bring your hiking boots!
A good supermarket, drugstore, and other services are about 14 miles away in the town of Washougal. The location provides easy, year-round access to hiking, boating, fishing, skiing and more. The Washougal is one of only two completely unpolluted rivers in the region. It offers fine fishing, whitewater rafting, canoeing and kayaking as it flows into the mighty Columbia River just a few miles to the south. All manner of outdoor activities are close by, yet the setting itself is secluded and free from the noise and distractions of everyday life.
* Please note that there is no cell service at this home.
** There are outdoor security cameras on this property, however there are NO security cameras inside the home or on the hot tub. The outdoor security system is maintained for unwanted guests and the owners only view the driveways to make sure the unit does not go above occupancy.

Yes, we were very happy that we could bring our elderly dog. We did bring a stool for getting her into the car, but a little stool to help her (and old people like us) get into the high bed would be nice.

The cottage was very cozy and really relaxing. Its a great place to stay if you want to relax in the woods and swim in the river.Our family had a great time.

My daughter and I stayed here while we participated in the Bridge of the Gods Half Marathon up the road. It was a little further away from town then I had anticipated, but that played in our favor as we had complete quiet and peace away from all of the ruckus of the events in town. The home was in great condition and that bed was more comfortable than my own. I haven't slept that good in a long time. I'm already looking way when I can come back with my significant other and make it a romantic getaway.

After reading all of the rave reviews I was actually a little disappointed for the price point. I didn’t realize there is another rental property right next door, and didn’t realize the “private beach” along the river would be taken up by a group of loud kids during my stay. But my dog enjoyed swimming there and that made it worth the trip. Also, for nearly 300 per night (Vacasa fees are outrageous) they could provide coffee. Luckily I brought my own. Instead they leave you a cleaning package with dishwashing and laundry detergents…but there isn’t a dishwasher or washer/dryer. Just a bit off the mark but I find Vacasa to be that way. I prefer VRBO which is how I booked my stay…but it flipped over to Vacasa which is annoying. The setting is lovely, but I have stayed at better places with many more amenities so wouldn’t choose here again.
