River view cabin is like being in a National park. The cabin is private, this is not a shared property. You have the whole 3 acres. During salmon season you can sit in the hot tub and watch the eagles right from the deck catching fish out of the river. It is quite spectacular. You can also see many deer, beavers, and other animals from the deck. This property has a gorgeous river view. There is access to the river but it’s a steep ladder for adventurous adults. There are also many great spots to access the river up and down Washougal river rd. There are more great places to swim and hike just up the road across from the fish hatchery or Dougan falls.
The space
The downstairs has 1 bedroom with a king bed and 1 bathroom. The living room has a sleeper sofa. The two other bedrooms are upstairs which is accessed by more of a ladder than a staircase making the upstairs not a good option for elderly or people who don’t climb ladders. There is a spectacular view of the river from this property although it is 25-35 feet high without guard rails making this cabin not a good option for very small children.
Other things to note
There is 1 bedroom downstairs with a king bed. The couch in the living room also opens to a bed. The upstairs has a queen bed and a twin. The water is well water. It is filtered and has a softener, but is to salty for drinking. Their is plenty of bottled water for drinking and cooking. The well water is fine for showering. Their is also a reverse osmosis tap at the kitchen sink that is also fine for cooking. Even though the property is a bit remote, we do have neighbors, but at a distance. Their are no houses across the river. The cabin is great for relaxing and enjoying the forest and scenery. Their are many hikes and places to swim a short drive from the cabin. There is also a great Mercantile store for groceries, deli food, hot food options and take home bake pizzas about 3 min from the cabin. The cabin has been recently renovated so everything is fairly new. The cabin has 3 bedrooms, 1000 square feet, with a full kitchen. For A/C and heat, we have a new HVAC, a fire stove and a washer and dryer. When it snows in Washougal the driveway may be difficult to exit as it has an incline. If there is a lot of snow and you don’t have chains I would suggest parking at the top of the driveway and walking down to the cabin, so you can exit without driving up the incline.
