About this property

Beautiful, Quiet, Country Setting on Willamette River

We are located in Peoria, Oregon on the Willamette River. Our spacious (600sq ft) quarters with it's own entrance is privately located on the North end of our 100 year old granary residence. We offer beautiful grounds to stroll, the river to enjoy, and the peacefulness of country living.

Here at the Old River Granary there are plenty of opportunities to play, rest, and relax. Take a walk down the river, shoot a game of pool, or just relax in the hammock by the river.

Step out on the private balcony and see both sunrise over the Cascade mountains and sunset over the coast range. Views vary with the seasons.

Corvallis, home of Oregon State University, is located just 10 minutes away and offers a friendly home town atmosphere with a variety of stores, river front restaurants and a wonderful farmers market (Apr-Nov) with fresh local produce, fruits, flowers, honey, jams and more.

The Old Granary is truly a little piece of paradise, away from the stress of everyday life. We think your stay at the River Guest Quarters will be an experience to remember...and we welcome you!

Lovely Riv Spot!

Me and my 2 friends had a lovely time staying here :) We spent almost the entire day on that couch overlooking the riv. So peaceful and relaxing, I loved it here. It felt much more like a real home than any other vacation rental I've ever stayed in! Loved all the comfy sitting areas, the bed was super cozy, the kitchen was well stocked and easy to use, everything was clean and comfortable and great :) Thanks so much guys! We had a great time!

A bit of peace and serenity

We loved staying at RiverHaus. Kathy and Gregg have an amazing property right on the river. Enjoying coffee and watching the river flow by is mesmerizing. Fresh flowers, the most comfortable bed and a rustic setting places this stay as one of our top experiences. Thank you

Wonderful hosts in a lovely setting.

My partner and I paddled up to the property, spent two nights and then paddled on! Hosts let me drop off food in advance, and we're incredibly lovely. The view was so serene and restful.

Comfy and cozy spot on the River.

We loved staying at The RiverHouse! The property was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was stocked full of things to use for cooking our meals. We will stay again. Gregg and Kathy were wonderful hosts and check in was effortless.

Paradise at the Riverhaus!

Our best VRBO experience, by far! The Riverhaus is the perfect place to stay while enjoying all of what the Willamette valley has to offer. Quietly nestled in Peoria along the Willamette River, this cottage is a rare find. It’s well cared for, clean, comfortable, has incredible views and the hosts are terrific!

Lovely, quiet stay by the river.

We stayed here over a long weekend and loved it! The grounds are just gorgeous with all of the blooming plants and, of course, the river just adds to the beauty. We sat by it every evening. Kathy and Gregg were so kind and accommodating with our toddler daughter, even offering us apple pie (it was delicious). The bed is very comfortable and the rooms stayed cool even in 100+ heat. We'd definitely stay here again when we're in the area.

Quiet location

My daughter and I were in Oregon for events in Eugene, and booked the Riverhaus. Very quiet location between Corvallis and Eugene that worked well for what we needed. The unit is in a beautiful location overlooking the river with beautiful gardens/yard. We enjoyed listening to the birds while sitting on the deck.

Relaxing home base near Corvallis

My sons and I stayed here for a hiking & exploring trip around Corvallis and the coastline. Kathy and Gregg have an amazing property and could not be more pleasant and accommodating. The apartment is homey, clean & interesting and splashing around in the river after a long day of hiking & sightseeing can’t be beat. Book this spot with confidence and enjoy your stay…. We certainly did! : )

Stunning View

The Riverhaus is a lovely retreat which exceeded our expectations. Kathy and Gregg were delightful hosts. Kathy had everything we needed for our month long stay during a home remodeling project. We enjoyed peaceful walks on "Main Street" Peoria and a stunning view of the Willamette River. The bank of windows in our suite gave not only a great view of the Willamette River, but also a stellar view of magnificent sunsets over the Oregon Coast Range. We definitely plan to return!

Relax and unwind

Such a peaceful piece of paradise. Well stocked, with lots of windows. This is a very cozy, relaxing unit; a perfect place to unwind. Easy drive to Corvallis and Newport. We were blessed with beautiful fall weather so it was nice to take advantage of all the Willamette Valley has to offer. There is an easy river walk in downtown Corvallis near OSU, great restaurants, plus many wineries.

Mom's Weekend Getaway

This was my first Mom's weekend in Corvallis and thankfully I found this rental when most other places were already booked. My daughter (15) and my ex-husband stayed here to visit with our son. This rental is perfect for a couple or single renter but worked for our needs, too. The hosts were very friendly on the phone and it was pretty easy to find with their instructions. The rental is connected to the main house but feels very private. I loved the feel indoors especially in the room facing the river. We all slept well. Such a lovely place in the spring!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy and Gregg Jakobson

Host profile image
Moved from Laguna Beach to escape the density of California and feel so blessed to have purchased this historic 100 year old granary on the 10th largest river in the United States. Country living is a dream come true.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property the day it went up for sale. We were walking our dogs from the home we had been renting which we intended to rent for a year before deciding to make Oregon our permanent residence. It was providential! How often does a 100 year old Granary on the water come up for sale? The rest is history

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this unique piece of property, the old barn, the Douglas fir wood floors the wood beams and ceilings, the incredible river view the country living that provides serene and peaceful surroundings. Watching the eagles dive into the water and come up with a fish, all the species of birds right outside our windows. Relaxing in our hammock overlooking the river. Remodeling and watching all the potential this property had was an amazing journey. We fall more in love with it with each passing day and remain grateful for our lives here at the Old Granary.
