Molalla River Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This charming cottage located at the beginning of the 'Wild and Scenic' Molalla River Corridor is the perfect getaway for those seeking quiet communion with nature, hiking, biking, using it as home base to explore the area's many attractions, or just chilling out on the porch with a good book.

Molalla River Cottage is comfy and bright, tastefully decorated, and offers a pleasant respite for those seeking peaceful relaxation in a beautiful rural setting. Entering the front door you will find a fully equipped kitchen with everything needed to prepare your own meals if desired. As you walk through the kitchen you will find the open living room with gas burning fireplace and hardwood floors. There is a comfy sofa, chairs, and a daybed for lounging or sleeping. Togetherness awaits whether you choose to relax with a good book or enjoy a movie or music on the DVD player.

This getaway is a single-level floor plan for those with limited mobility although there are a few steps to the front porch and a step down to the living room. The back porch provides a peaceful place to relax by the creek on a warm and sunny summer day or a BBQ on the gas grill in the evening. Perhaps the most appealing feature of this lovely cottage is easy access via a short marked trail through meadow/pasture to the beautiful Molalla River. The trail leading to the river is slightly steep at the end. The river changes with the seasons and the cottage owners provide a lovely sitting area by the river with firepit for quiet reflection.

What's nearby:
Sweet Creek Cottage provides a comfortable stay within easy access of the Molalla River Corridor, Hardy Creek trail system, (horses and mountain bikes, hiking), and the Table Rock Wilderness Area. A drive along this scenic waterway reveals numerous waterfalls and geological features. This charming cottage is 15 miles from the historic town of Silverton (where you will find the beautiful Oregon Garden) and just seven miles from the rural town of Molalla where full services (groceries, restaurants, medical services, gas, etc.) are provided. Molalla is also home of the world famous 'Molalla Buckeroo' and Parade during the 4th of July holiday season, professional bull riding events, world class sky diving, city parks, and historic sites. Easy access to numerous sites of interest, rural beauty, and the Molalla River make this retreat a great choice for an active getaway or a quiet and peaceful time of rest and relaxation.

Very nice cabin in a lovely tranquil area.

The river is nearby where you can enjoy the nature or go for a swim. The cabin has all you need including fast wifi.

Rural getaway

Comfortable, and we made good use of the full kitchen with plenty of room to work. Really cute place with cabin/cottage charm. Owner was friendly and there are two small dogs and a cat who were super chill and friendly. This location is outside of worst light pollution and has great stargazing. Outdoors, you will hear the nearby river and the local wildlife. A path leads down to a seating area and fire pit by the river, which is beautiful but you may want to bring your own camp chairs.

Great little cabin

This was a sweet little escape not super far away from town. The only thing that I would suggest is asking that if you're visiting in colder months you request the heat be turned on prior to check in. It was freezing and took a few hours to heat up. Otherwise it was a great little place and most likely will visit there again.

Cute but dated

This was a cute house, directions left out a step so it was a little difficult to find. There were a lot of items in disrepair, kitchen faucet, warped pans, pans with coating peeling, odd smell. It was very hot while we were there, we were aware before hand that there was no a/c, but very few of the windows had screens so we were unable to open windows to cool off. There was excellent wifi so it seemed unfortunate that the tv was an old box tv only capable of vhs and dvd. The bed was very hard and we had an ant invasion in the bathroom the night before we left. The area was nice, close to what we were there for. River is beautiful but difficult to get to the water.

Perfect spot for exploring Molalla River Corridor

Very homey cottage in such a great location. There is a short trail here to the beautiful Molalla River. And the cottage is situated at the entrance to the Molalla River Recreation area which provides so many things to do along the Molalla River. The owners, who live next door, were very friendly and welcoming, along with their two super cute and friendly little dogs. A wonderful stay; we look forward to coming back again soon

Cottage is awesome

The area is beautiful. Marked trail down to the river. Nice bed. Stove, oven toaster, 2 coffee makers, bottle opener, good for wine also. No t.v. but dvd and vcr movies welcome. Washer, dryer, extra blankets . Bring your own charger and cords and plug in. Great area for relaxing and fun and getting away from the city. Farther away from the city then they estimate

Cute

The home is very cabinish super cute. The creek was super little but probably because it was the end of summer. Walking to the river was pleasant but hard to actually get to the river. The home was very clean and comfortable. Thanks for letting us stay.

Deep relaxation

We had such a nourishing stay here and were so grateful for all of the personal touches including the delightful collection of DVD’s and VHS tapes which gave us options from a collection over the years. We haven’t slept that well in a long time. The spot served as a peaceful Ceremony space for my partner and myself to discuss wedding plans and find each other in a new reality including virus awareness. Wetiko. Thank you all for taking great care of us. Bryce & Tiffany

Cozy Cottage near a river

This Cottage was the perfect getaway for my wife's birthday. It was secluded enough that while the main property isn't too far looking from the place, it's plenty far enough feeling. The river access was a little confusing, since it has you go away from the river first and kinda stops being marked when you enter a field behind the Cottage, but with nowhere to go except through the field it's hard to miss the river. There was a really friendly outdoor cat who paid us a couple visits, which was fun for us as we are cat people. The only hitch we ran into was a lack of spatulas in the kitchen, and one of the baking sheets doesn't fit in the oven. Otherwise our stay was perfect.

Quaint Property In Beautiful Rural Setting

Clean, spacious one bedroom cottage along the Molalla River. Quiet wooded setting - ideal for a couple. We loved the fireplace and the picturesque setting. We appreciated the reliable Wi-Fi and found all amenities that we needed were provided. Hope to return again next year!

Relaxation plus cute pets

This was the perfect place to get away and relax. The short walk the river plus the excellent swimming hole was fantastic. The two pups that live there are super cute and sweet. We loved the visits with the kitty the most because we always miss our kitties when we travel. The kitchen is good and has all you really need but it’s sparse. Bring everything you would want for cooking or be prepared to improvise. The grill was great. The bed was super comfy with soft sheets and pillows. We slept so well! We can’t wait to come back.

Great cabin

Wish I could have stayed longer. It a quiet beautiful setting. I can sit at the table to eat dinner with the door open and hear the river. Only a fewthings would have made my stay better. Instructions on how to play the CD player. My son got it to work once but when I turned it off I couldn’t get it back on. I did not have a spatula turn over my eggs. The last thing is better instructions on the path to the river. If I hadn’t seen the owner and conversed over the fence I would have gone the wrong way.

Peaceful, rural setting

Overall we had a very nice time. It was a get away from everyday life and being right next to the river was beautiful. The cottage was rustic but clean and covered most of the basics. Only downfall was the nearness of the owner. She seemed nice enough but a little too nosey for comfort. We wanted a place out of town to not really interact with people but she seemed overly concerned about us and our activities. Otherwise, it was awesome☺️

Tranquil cottage setting

This cottage was a nice place to get away into a wooded area near a river. The owner's house is only about 20 yards away, but we didn't end up seeing anyone for the entire weekend. There is a trail to the river with a nice spot for a firepit. The kitchen was nicely equipped for preparing meals. The décor is cute and comfortable. The wifi signal was strong for some remote work needs.

What a wonderful retreat

We loved our visit to Molalla River Cottage. Sitting on the covered deck, enjoying the breeze, listening to the river and the occasional visit from the local pets. Truly an oasis for getting away from the city. The kitchen had everything we needed, we loved having the BBQ available on a hot weekend. We will definitely be back!!!

Want to get out of the city and soak up more time in nature? This is a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Right by the Molalla river, we loved listening to the sounds of the water and the visits from the resident animals. Highly recommend!
