Fully Furnished
The house is fully equipped with all clean linens and hotel type toiletries upon arrival. Daily made service is not provided but available. A full kitchen is provided including many of the condiments you might need. Check our stock of ketchup, mustard, steak and fish seasoning, spices, olive oil and mayo type condiments before bringing your own. People tend to leave what they don't need there for the next group. But the local Safeway grocery is only 10 minutes in Clatskanie and open until 11:00PM. The deck is great for: entertaining with a gas barbecue, toasting the sunsets, or watching the waterfowl and eagles. Life jackets and a few fishing poles are available.

Guest access
Guests have use of the entire house, dock, deck and boathouse. Boat ramp usage is also included. A few water toys are available to to use. Life jackets for adults and children are available and recommended for water sports. Swimming off dock available but water too deep for wading.

Guest interaction
There is a nearby host available to handle any issues that may arise during the stay

Neighborhood overview
This is a rare rural-farm neighborhood area on the lower Columbia where the homes are total river front without crossing a road to get to the river. Your dock starts 30 feet from the house front door. Paved roads are available for country biking (but no bike lanes), and you can hike within our 100 acres of foothill timberland providing outstanding views.

Fishing Guidance - Chartering
I have also talked to folks at "Gone Catchin Guide" Service .

Oregon hunting and fishing licenses and limited gear are available 10 minutes away in Clatskanie. Also, Bob's Sports in Longview (30 minutes) is the Largest fishing supply selection in northwest. You can fish the Columbia River with either an Oregon or Washington fishing license. I recommend doing some charter fishing if you don't have your own boat. The charter captains know how to fish them best. Charters are available in Longview, Astoria and a few other locations along the river. Contact me for recommendations.

Getting around
Off street parking for cars, boat trailers or RV. We have RV power and water available but not sewer hook-ups

Peaceful
Quiet and great view. Huge house and property. Wish it had better kitchen supplies like pots and pans. The view from kitchen is amazing and dinning room is far better than a restaurant so you will want to stay and cook there!

I wouldn't say this property can sleep 10. The pullout sofa was incredibly uncomfortable -- my teen couldn't even sleep on it and kids have young backs! The location on the river was beautiful. We were visiting relatives in town, so it was ideally located.

Get Away
We enjoyed our stay. The kitchen had everything we needed. Beautiful views, and it was fun to watch the freighters. Everyone enjoyed swimming. The area is by the water, so, there are a lot of spiders and webs on the decks. Also, having the owner on the property was helpful at times, however, made for a lack of privacy too.

Overall satisified!
Great getaway from city to cool and calm down - nice view, great river breeze, and kind host. As sitting close to the river, should expect a bit of driving to explore nearby attractions.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Miller

Host profile image
I am a retired engineering professor and We have University affiliations with Michigan, Michigan State, and Stanford. I am also the President of J M Miller Engineering, Inc. in Ann Arbor Michigan, but real love is being on the Columbia at this special, little known location.

Why they chose this property

The property is in a private group of houses and farms owned by myself and my wife's family, all adjacent to one another and all with docks on the river. Our farmland and marshland for waterfowl hunting is on one side of the road, and the river, boating, fishing, and house are on the other. I love being in the heart of salmon fishing on the Columbia, yet not in the middle of a tourist area. My wife and I take joy in offering the nicest of our houses to share with you. Our Cousin Holly lives nearby and will be an amazing hostess to you in our absence, and her husband Mark can fill you in on the local fishing secrets.

What makes this property unique

Large dock for mooring boats; boat ramp; swim-fish-boat from dock; heart of salmon fishing on the Columbia
