About this property

Vintage River Cabin on the Siuslaw River

Cozy river cabin originally built in the 1940s as a fishing getaway. Beautiful views of the Siuslaw River, long views down river, large private deck, great for enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Cabin has a small bedroom, open kitchen with living room and a full bathroom with shower - all on a single level. Step down onto a large wooden deck, or sit under cover just out the back door.

One of three houses on an open 1.25 acre rural property. Each house is free-standing and has their own parking, private deck, sitting and grilling areas. Bear and elk have been known to come through the property in search of fruit at the end of the summer and fall. Bald Eagles and ospreys are common sights.

Situated about 3.5 miles up river from central Mapleton, about 17 miles from Florence, with hiking and adventuring in each direction. No cell service, but house has a landline and wifi.

A serene respite

Peaceful location by the river. Great for enjoying God's marvelous creation. Soothing sounds of the river and great for bird watching. The amenities of the cabin were great. A short distance to Florence and the beach.

Great spot to relax

Beautiful spot on the river. We enjoyed sitting by the gas fire ring, drinking coffee and listening to the river. We would definitely stay here again. The bed is super comfy too. Owner was very nice and communicative.

Riverside delight

It was a truly delightful experience visiting this wonderful rental. Waking up and having breakfast on the deck overlooking the river was sublime. One note: make sure you have the combination to the lockbox before you arrive as there is no network in the area. We had to drive back to Mapleton to get a signal and retrieve the combination. Once in we enjoyed our stay immensely.

It was a beautiful Vintage fishing Cabin. Privacy was about the only thing I didn't care much for. There are two other small houses on the property and they are all close together you can see in each others windows. Which you could pull the shades but then it would limit your air flow. I guess they share a fire pit. I never found one at the fishing cabin but saw one at the other house??? WS going to build a fire a set out and listen to the river. But overall it was good.

5 Star River view!

We stayed at Kate’s cabin for a month and loved it! Very comfortable for 2 people (we are in our 60’s). The outside deck, covered and uncovered, was perfect for hanging out and watching the river, especially since we had many rainy days. And the location in Mapleton is perfect for hikes nearby or for a drive up the Oregon coast. Great Wi-Fi. Great bed! We loved Kate. Communicative, friendly and very accommodating with any requests that we had. We would stay here again!

River cottage

Great place! It was like a home away from home. My wife and I stayed for our 44th wedding anniversary. Far enough away for star watching but close enough for other activities like going to town, the beach, or hiking to the falls. River sound is very relaxing. Owner and staff are very professional and friendly.

Rustic relaxation

This diamond-in-the-rough cabin was a good find when looking for a last minute escape from our triple digit heat and smoke. We were quite comfortable with all the basic necessities provided, and we truly enjoyed the large deck and soothing sounds of the river. It can get a little toasty for a couple of hours on a late August afternoon (no A/C), but it cools off nicely in the evening hours (attic fan helps a lot, too). We spent most of our time at the beach or on the hiking trails nearby (Sweet Creek Trail is really pretty) so there were plenty of opportunities to stay cool. There is no cable/satellite TV (just a CD player) so we came prepared with movies & games of our own. The Wi-Fi works just fine, but it was actually wonderful to simply disconnect from the world for a while. The owner, Kate, was extremely gracious, helpful and eager to please. Thank you, Kate for a wonderful stay!
