Tranquility

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. If you enjoy staring at the river and taking lazy afternoon naps, this is your spot. We were impressed with how very clean the property is even for a dog friendly location. We loved walking our dogs around the field across the road and exploring Puget Island. The kitchen is well appointed and well laid out. We were able to cook a couple of nice meals during our stay. The beds are comfortable, we both slept like rocks! We had many animal sightings. Canadian geese, seals, osprey, a bald eagle, a beaver (maybe?), raccoons fishing by the waters edge (very entertaining) and a flock of pelicans roosting on a small island just across the river from our deck. We counted one boat that passed by our place for the entire weekend when we were there. Incredibly relaxing and private! Comfy all around. We will gladly stay here again!

Amazing Winter Getaway

What a wonderful cozy getaway. The owners have a great feel for what folks are looking for in a getaway as a matter of fact they nailed it. Beautiful views out every window, birds, geese, deer, and elk up in the hills. Can't wait to come back and get some fishing in. This place will not disappoint. Thank you again for a restful and relaxing getaway. The West Family

Quiet vacation spot and helpful owner

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and we would love to stay there again. The interior of the house looks like it was recently remodeled, and it is clean & tastefully decorated. The views across the water are beautiful. The owner responded quickly to my questions, and even offered to come by and visit with us to answer our questions about fishing and crabbing in the area since he is a long time fisherman on the Columbia River. When he came by to visit, he had just arrived back in the states from an international trip, and I know he had to be exhausted, but he took time to greet our dog, and provide some excellent fishing and crabbing advice. Thank you, Steve, for making our vacation a great one.

Fishing trip

This place is off the charts. Everything you could possibly need. So clean and cozy. The back porch over looks the river. It rained one of the days we were there so we enjoyed the day just hanging at the house and fishing off the deck. We are already looking forward to coming back.

Fabulous relaxing and peaceful getaway

What a wonderful place and host. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We woke up to the birds singing to us and the osprey chatting. The three of us stargaze every summer and this was by far our favorite so far. The place had everything we needed for a getaway. It was the perfect place to go out in the night on the deck to witness the meteor showers. Steve was fantastic and quickly responded to the few questions we had. The deck facing the water was perfect for seeing the pelicans, osprey, and little birds. We drove the island and saw the deer. We took a day trip to astoria and on to the beach. And another day we took the ferry to Oregon for a farmers market. We definitely plan to go back. Thank you very much for allowing us ladies and my gigantic dog to stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Steve’s Puget Island home! The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfy. The kitchen was super well-stocked with plenty of gear for us to use for our meals. The setting is spectacular and it was so peaceful sitting on the back deck watching the birds and wildlife. We’ll certainly come again.

Elegant craft

Clean and quietly elegant river side cabin feels like home. Every thing one could want or need for kitchen use, laundry or bath. Host is thoughtful and responsive. Great bicycling /walking roads with little traffic. Wonderful view of the slough and river. Calm ambiance as one observes the tidal flow of the river and sky. Close to small town for coffee or groceries or a meal. My small chihuahua settled in comfortably as did we. Great spot.

We were fortunate to be in town for the Bald Eagle fest and we enjoyed the weekend so much, there was a fireworks show on my husband’s birthday, that was awesome. Everyone from the area that drove by would wave, we are so not used to that.

Mesmerizing and welcoming river view.

We came to the area to visit relatives, My sister recommended this wonderful house so we can marvel at the River view. The house was like home, everything you needed was available in the kitchen, bedrooms, bath, laundry, living area, and outdoor sitting area. The decor matched being in a River home, warm and decorative. Sitting and watching the birds was mesmerizing. This is a home you do not want to leave. The extra touches were greatly appreciated and enjoyed. The fact that our dog was welcome also was a big deciding factor to stay here. Blankets were available so our dog could sit with us to enjoy the view. Thank you for appreciating the four legged guest. We are so much looking forward to revisit this home. We extend our gratefulness to Steve and Betsy for welcoming us to stay here. This is very hard to post because we want to keep this hidden gem selfishly for ourselves. Than you, Debbie, Craig, and Fiji from Florida

Bird Watchers and Fishing Cabin

Wow! A fully stocked kitchen AND memory foam mattresses. There is an Osprey nest (Seahawk) right next to the cabin. Really enjoyed watching the Bald Eagle and the Osprey fight over territory rights. You can literally fish off the back deck. There is even a deep well sink in the laundry room and the kitchen sink is deep well also. The coffee table in the den/living room area is gorgeous. We were all trying to figure how to get it in the rental car and on the plane. There are binoculars provided for you to bird watch with. If you are working in Longview it would only be about a 30 to 40 minute commute and the peace and quiet of the island plus the beauty of being on the Columbia River makes it worth it. There is also an RV hookup. Will definitely try to rent this again if we have to go back and finish the Longview store. The owner is super nice and even has bikes for your use if you want.

Beautiful

Loved the beautiful, fully renovated home, from the granite countops and stainless appliances to to amazing water view from the deck. We were mesmerized by the pelicans. We loved every surprise visit from the Osprey who was sitting on her eggs on the property. Every time we turned around - relaxation! Loved it! It was just what we needed! And Puget Island is lovely and the people are so friendly.
