Welcome to our idyllic riverfront cottage, a tranquil haven nestled on the banks of a pristine river, offering an unparalleled blend of natural beauty and cozy comfort. This charming abode is not just a place to stay; its a gateway to a rejuvenating experience, where every moment becomes a cherished memory.
As you step into our cottage, youll be greeted by a warmly decorated interior that perfectly encapsulates the essence of a home away from home. The living area, bathed in natural light, boasts comfortable seating, an electric fireplace, and large windows that frame your private, stunning river access and garden views. Its the perfect spot for reading, relaxation, or enjoying a glass of wine as the sun sets over the water.
Our cottage features a cozy bedroom, thoughtfully furnished to ensure a peaceful nights sleep to the soothing sounds of nature with direct access to the full bathroom, with bathtub/shower combination and everything you need to get ready for the day or relax for the evening.
The heart of our cottage is the fully equipped kitchen, where you can whip up delicious meals with locally sourced ingredients. Enjoy your culinary creations in the living room utilizing the stand-up desk that doubles as cozy dining for two, or step outside to the private back yard for an al fresco dining experience with a breathtaking river view.
Outdoors, the magic of our location truly comes to life. The expansive back yard, complete with outdoor seating, is a serene spot for morning coffee as you watch the river come alive with the day. Take a stroll down to the private river access, where you can indulge in a variety of activities such as fishing, kayaking, or simply dipping your toes in the cool water.
Nature enthusiasts will be delighted by the abundance of wildlife around the cottage. From the chorus of birds in the mornings to the occasional glimpse of deer at dusk, the natural surroundings provide a constant source of wonder.
For those seeking adventure, the area surrounding our cottage is a treasure trove of experiences. Hike through adjoining riverfront trails, visit local vineyards, or explore charming nearby towns with their unique shops and restaurants.
As the day winds down, gather around the fire pit in the private back yard. Share stories, roast marshmallows, and gaze at the stars in the clear night sky – moments like these are what make our riverfront cottage a truly special place.
Our commitment to your comfort extends to every detail, including high-speed internet, a washer and dryer, and all the necessary amenities to ensure a hassle-free stay.

Getting around
The cottage is located at the very end of a "no outlet" street and continues on into Maddox Woods Park (which includes a beautiful garden and kayak / small boat launch and connects by beach back to the cottage). There is ample, well-lit parking at the cottage, including a carport reserved for your use during your stay, and a circular drive for ease arriving and departing.
The cottage is an easy commute to downtown Portland, in addition to all surrounding areas with close proximity to I205. While it is generally a car-dependent neighborhood, there are public bus lines nearby, including:
0.3 mi -- 35 Macadam/Greeley
0.6 mi -- Lines 31,32, 33,34
.07 mi -- 154 Willamette/Clackamas
For example, if you chose to take public transport from the cottage to the PDX airport, it would cost $2.50 and take roughly two hours. You would:
-- Walk 0.3 miles to Bus Line 35 (~10 minutes)
-- Ride Bus Lin 35 to the Rose Quarter Transit Center ( ~55mins)
-- Transfer to the Max Red Line/Airport (light rail) (~29 mins)
Of course, ride-sharing / taxi services as well as car-sharing, rental options
The airport is 25 minutes by car from the cottage, but can be slower, dependent on time of day.
The neighborhood itself offers everything you need within walking distance including a Market of Choice, local restaurants and numerous hiking trails within the city and along the river. Trail maps and local information for West Linn and neighboring Lake Oswego provided in the cottage.

A) This home sits directly on the river/river bank. There is a "gently" fenced yard area behind the cottage ("gently" meaning it is NOT secure), with a gated path down to the waterfront banks. There is a steep ladder at the end of a dock which provides access to the beach/river; this area is inaccessible. Safe, accessible access to the river is via Maddox Woods, located directly next door. Maps provided in the cottage.
B) As the home is near water, all children much be under direct adult supervision at all times; no exceptions.
C) A variety of life jackets are available for use while in the water; life jackets are mandatory to carry if you are using any of the water toys provided. Not all sizes are available so please bring your own if you plan to be out on the water.
D) The cottage is next to the owner's home; access to the deck of the main home is not allowed (it is gated off). The river bank area and all areas of the yard outside of the gated backyard are free-roamed and "owned exclusively by" the owner's two Australian Sheppard dogs.
E) Parking is limited to one guest vehicle in the main driveway, directly outside the guest cottage, with additional parking available on the street. The cottage is located in a very safe, secure neighborhood on a "no outlet" road (last home on the road); street parking is very safe.
