Great Place to Stay

This was our second time to stay here and just as before we were very pleased with the accommodations. The weather was cooler the days we were there and I appreciated that our host reached out to us to see if we needed a temp adjustment. It really is a great place for us to stay when we visit family in the area.

Great place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for visiting family who live in the area. Although the weather wasn’t very accommodating for outdoor activities, we still enjoyed the beauty of the surrounding area, and saw a few dear and many varieties of birds, including eagles from the living room window. We hope to stay again this summer.

Beautiful home with incredible views

I've stayed here twice now and absolutely love this place. It has all the comforts of home, is beautifully decorated, and the views are spectacular. Check-in is a breeze and communication with the owner couldn't be any better. Definitely one of my favorite places to stay when visiting family!

A Beautiful Stay With a View

We had a lovely stay in this apartment. Excellent communication with the host. It looks like a home on the outside but inside the entry you realize there are multiple units. Our ground floor unit looked like new construction, modern and cozy with a gas fireplace and 2 couches overlooking the Columbia River. A perfect place to relax. The kitchen and bath are well stocked. Our upstairs neighbors were noisy very early unfortunately, but that can happen anywhere. I don’t recommend it if you have small kids as at the front edge of the patio is a sheer drop down. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing views and comfortable home

We loved staying here to explore Astoria and the Mount St. Helens area. The only criticism would be the wifi - it wasn’t great, but the owners were working hard to remedy the situation while we were here and even brought us a signal booster device without us even asking for it.

Lovely get away!!

Everything was excellent!! I only gave 3 stars on location because if anyone is planning to be within walking distance of food, etc...it is a little out of the way. However, for us it was perfect! We cooked our meals and enjoyed hanging on the patio arching the sunset. Also we had a great day trip to Mt. St. Helens..so bonus!!

Beautiful views!

The house was beautiful, clean, and cozy. We loved sitting in the living room and watching the boats go by on the river. Great location- even though it was outside of town it was only a short drive to restaurants and stores. The driveway up to the house was very steep in spots but the views were worth it and there is a nice area for parking once you got to the top. Will absolutely be back. Thanks!

Perfection, just what we needed!

We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite and couldn't be any happier with our stay. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed including shampoo, conditioner and body wash of which all, I forgot to bring so I was very happy when I saw this in the bathroom. The place was very clean and cozy. Had the most incredible views and most beautiful sunset and sunrise. The location was perfect and Judy was a great host. We will definitely be back again.

New and Clean

We got the 2 bedroom rental which is spacious and well appointed with some view of Columbia River. Convenient location to Oregon, Longview, Kalama, and not too far from Mt. St Helen. Love the big kitchen which has everything you need including a variety of sauces, seasonings, coffee snacks, etc. The bathroom also has shampoo, conditioner, body wash and plenty of towels. The shared laundry room is a plus for longer stay. Cons: There are other rental units so you can hear doors slamming shut. Temperature control unit is controlled by the owner, and A/C was set on high due to 87 degree weather on check-in day. Weather temp dropped to the 60's in the evening and the rental was freezing when we got back in the evening. We were cold through the night. The owner did lower the A/C the next day after we left for a day in Oregon. I still recommend this rental if you want a clean and spacious place to stay.
