About this property

Salmon River waterfront home on 10 acres at Ellis Cove

This is what they’re saying: “What a beautiful home!” “Amazing experience here. The amenities were incredible, the house beautiful - we couldn’t have asked for a better place ... for a family reunion ... and wedding.” “Awesome place to relax and enjoy some quiet in a beautiful house.” “Thank you for such a wonderful place that allowed for life memories to happen for all of us.”

Welcome to The King’s Gathering at Ellis Cove, a custom-built five bedroom, four bathroom craftsman home with modern conveniences combines rustic charm with contemporary comfort. Our home gives our guests access to over 700 feet on the Salmon River. For anglers, our stretch sits between two of the best fishing holes - Wire Hole and Ellis Cove - for salmon and steelhead fishing!

Host up to 12 people our vacation home with 800 sq. ft. additional covered outdoor space. It's perfect for connecting and making memories. Have a larger group? Book our other cabin (VRBO 580833) and between the two you can host up to 24 people like we do for Thanksgiving! Whether your passion is fishing, hiking, kayaking, snowmobiling, riding ATVs (minutes to trailheads), or cross-country skiing, you are never far from the action.

The heart of our home is a two-story great room with views of lush greenery and the wetlands bordering the Salmon River. For the foodies, our fully equipped kitchen or outdoor park-style grill is perfect. Finish your day sharing stories around the wood burning fireplace, lounging in the loft, or out by the fire pit.

On the main level, sleep up to four in two bedrooms: one king bed with full bath and soak-in tub and a queen bed adjacent to bathroom. Upstairs are a bathroom with two bedrooms to sleep up to four on two twin beds and one king bed. In the basement, you can sleep up to six with two bunkbeds (each a twin over queen bed). We also have two workstations if you need to finish up work.

The basement was designed primarily as a staging area for anglers. Equipped with rod holders, wader hooks, and corker mats, it is the perfect place to gear up in comfort during cold days. Rod holders are also available underneath the deck.

To help simplify your stay, we provide bed & bath linens, pots & pans, dishes/glasses/utensils. We use down-alternative duvets to reduce environmental allergens. As such, no animals are permitted and we are smoke-free.

Every year a group of friends go on a steelhead trip. this year we had two guys not make it so we looked for a new place to stay that held less people but was closer to the river. this place was great.

Nice place, good location

This is a really nice place in a good location for us. There was plenty of room for the five of us for a couple day fishing trip. We didn't take advantage of all the amenities, but they were all there and in good condition. The listing was accurate and there were no surprises. Thanks for a great place to stay.

Altmar

The property was beautiful and the house was very nice and had everything we needed. But the house was noisy because when we went to bed in the master bedroom we could hear the kids in the bunk room clear as day . The pathway to the river was overgrown.

Beautiful home

This house was perfect for our visit we had with old friends, & to celebrate a birthday. We were there right before the salmon run, so it was a busier time for the area, but still very quiet, with beautiful farmland all around. We would definitely stay here again. The house is spacious, and very comfortable.

We loved every minute of our stay: the quiet neighborhood, the various sitting areas (outside porch, loft, living room, dining room, basement family room, and although we didn't use it, the outdoor fire pit!), all of the amenities for cooking! Highly recommend!

2nd time on property - continues to impress!

We have stayed here in both the summer and winter. Both times of year the house was excellent, each offering a different experience of the river, use of spaces in/out of the house, and local activities. Would stay again.

Worked for us

The location of the property was great for us. We had hoped to cross-country ski but the weather did not cooperate to permit us to do that. However, we were able to hike at several places around the area and had a nice time.

Accommodations were very good for our large group of family and friends. Enjoyed our evening out at the fire pit and our walks to the river. Unfortunately this winter didn’t cooperate for snowmobiling however the house is set up very well for our next snowmobile trip.

Eclipse 2024

This was a beautiful home, perfect for an extended family getaway to view the solar eclipse. Especially loved having 3 levels of rooms and bedrooms for a variety of families and ages to stay in. Only suggestion is to bring or provide more tvs, we used the one in the basement for family viewing of the NCAA tournament, and brought another 2 so we had one on each level for different interests and age levels to watch at night. Also loved the outdoor fire pit and trail to the river. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
