About this space
It’s like having a National park in your yard. During salmon season you can sit in the hot tub and watch the eagles right from the deck catching fish out of the river. It is quite spectacular. You can also see many deer, beavers, and other animals from the deck. This property is river view only. There is no safe access to the river. There are many great spots to access the river up and down Washougal river rd. Great places to swim and hike are just up the road across from the fish hatchery or Dougan falls.
The space
The downstairs has 1 bedroom with a king bed and 1 bathroom. He living room has a sleeper sofa. The two other bedrooms are upstairs which is accessed by more of a ladder than a staircase making the upstairs not a good option for elderly or people who don’t climb ladders. There is a spectacular view of the river from this property although it is 25-35 feet high without guard rails making this cabin not a good option for children under 10.
Other things to note
Please note, to be completely transparent I’ve listed all the things here a renter might be uncomfortable with. This cabin is on a cliff overlooking the river at about 25-35 feet up. It is not recommended to bring small children. To access the upstairs bedrooms it is more like a ladder to the second floor. The upstairs is not a good option for elderly or people unable to climb a ladder. Their is 1 bedroom downstairs with the king bed. The couch in the living room also opens to a bed. The upstairs has a queen bed and a twin. The water is well water. It is filtered and has a softener, but is to salty for drinking. Their is plenty of bottled water for drinking and cooking. The well water is fine for showering. Their is also a reverse osmosis tap at the kitchen sink that is also fine for cooking. Even though the property is a bit remote, we do have neighbors, but at a distance. Their are no houses across the river. The cabin is great for relaxing and enjoying the forest and scenery. Their are many hikes and places to swim a short drive from the cabin. Their is also a great Mercantile store for groceries, deli food, hot food options and take home bake pizzas about 5-8 min from the cabin. The cabin has been recently renovated so everything is fairly new. The cabin is only 950 square feet, so the kitchen is a bit small. For A/C and heat, we have a new HVAC, a fire stove, wall electric heaters and portable heaters. When it snows in Washougal the driveway may be difficult to exit as it has an incline. If their is a lot of snow and you don’t have chains I would suggest parking at the top of the driveway and walking down to the cabin, so you can exit without driving up the incline.
