Waterfront holiday rentals in Willamette Valley

Cannot say enough about the wonderful experience we had staying at Rivers Retreat. It truly is a magical place right next to the Washougal River where you are surrounded by nature and can hear the peaceful river below. The hosts are more than helpful and we were grateful for their recommendations. We enjoyed watching the bald eagles and relaxing by the bonfire. The indoor space was very well kept and full of amenities. We will definitely return for another stay if ever in the area.

I had a wonderful stay at Sygarry’s place. The private bedroom and bathroom provided the perfect level of comfort and privacy. The location was ideal, as it was within walking distance to downtown/PSU and had easy access to transportation options like buses, street cars, and the Max. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone visiting Portland!

Shower 10/10, bed 10/10. These are the most important to me and they were great! Good location with shops nearby. The only thing I didn’t realize was that it was in the flight path of airplanes and you can here them in the morning, but ear plugs helped that. Overall a great spot, would recommend!!

Dave’s place was clean, adorable, peaceful and quiet. We loved our stay here! It has a flight of stairs so if you have mobility issues, it wouldn’t be a good choice. We didn’t use the kitchenette but it was clean and nicely stocked. The bathroom shower was lovely and was well stocked with towels, etc. The bed was comfy with the softest, warmest bedding. We’d go back in a heartbeat! The setting is surrounded by trees and the lake. It’s a great get-away, and so peaceful. Loved it!

I had a fabulous stay at Therese’s place! It was incredibly peaceful and calm, with stunning views of the river right from the bedroom — such a perfect way to start the day. Therese was so friendly and kind, and as it was my first time visiting Portland, she went above and beyond by recommending lots of great things to do and see. She even brought us our favorite breakfast items to enjoy— such a thoughtful touch! I would definitely stay here again anytime I visit Portland. Highly recommend!

Our stay was lovely! So many thoughtful touches, such a lovely space. Would be great for use as a base for winter fun on the mountain or summer by the river. 10/10 no notes!

Best experiance ever for an Airbnb!!! 5 stars is not enough. i am already making plans to come back again. The property is beautiful, the inside is perfection, and felt like a retreat the moment we stepped out of the car. we felt spoiled and enjoyed every moment we were there. the only downside was having to leave. the bar is now set so high for anywhere else we go its going to be almost impossible to match this stay. I will be back again soon for sure...

We stayed for a week and loved it! The river was in walking distance and the downtown area was beautiful (we visited the soda shop multiple times). The space itself was perfect for the two of us. It was clean and the duckies in the pond were one of our favorite things. Additionally, any time we had issues the host responded almost instantly. We thoroughly enjoyed our nice, quiet stay.

We stay at this property once a year. The property and location are both amazing, but the responsiveness and consideration of the host is what keeps us coming back year after year. If you do manage to find a comparable property I can guarantee you will not find comparable hosts. They're amazing!

This place suited our needs perfectly! Thank you Hope!

Absolutely stunning property! So beautiful and peaceful. It had everything we were looking for with the hot tub, fireplaces, fire pit, and gorgeous view of the river. We opened the wind at night and fell asleep to the sound of the rushing waters. Cannot wait to go back and would live there if we could. Idyllic in every way.

An amazing, well furnished large home on the banks of a lovely river. If you are looking for an easy, access mountain retreat, or home base for skiing and hiking, you could not ask for better.

The cabin was just what we wanted. Beautifully surrounded by the forest with gorgeous views of the river and plenty to explore. We enjoyed the easy fireplace, walked in the river just steps away, and hiked the multiple water falls just down the road. Kitchen had everything we needed for specially planned meals and the place was comfy in each room.

This home is one of my top places I have stayed in on Airbnb. I walked into that home and out to the back door absolutely breathtaking views. This home is 3 adventures in one. 1st the deck BBQ, fire pit and Hot tub(wood is provided). 2nd the yard below the home, has a huge open grass area with a big fire pit, close to the river. 3rd the river great spot for chairs and family private. Very lucky it was hot outside, we got to go swimming 3 times. The house was super clean 5 stars. This home had all the things and more needed to cook in the kitchen mama was stocked up. Book this home and enjoy being unplugged from the world, I flet like I was at grown up camp. Thank you for the treats and birthday candle 🕯 💕

This house worked great for us and the family adventures we had planned for the week. The property is beautiful and sitting by the Abiquia having a cup of coffee in the morning was very peaceful.

Place was great! Abby and Clint were very responsive and it was a relaxing, easy entry and exit!

This was a lovely condo, very homey and comfortable, spacious, and the kitchen had everything we needed to bbq and enjoy nice dinners in.

Great location for walking on the waterfront and playing in the river. Brenda was wonderful with communication and was able to get a high chair and pack n play for our little one during our stay. Very comfortable beds and living space.

This place was the perfect location for me. I love the proximity of the Riverwalk river walk. I also thought the little patio outside was a great place to sit and relax. I would highly recommend this as a great place to stay in Portland.

The Airbnb itself was clean, spacious, and clearly well-maintained. You can tell the host has put a lot of effort into making the space feel welcoming, and they may still be in the process of improving it even more. One of the highlights was the beautiful river right out back—a peaceful bonus that added to the overall experience. While the neighborhood felt a bit sketchy and there were quite a few transients around, it’s important to note that those issues are outside of the host’s control. Once inside, the space felt safe and comfortable. Parking could have been tricky, but the host provided clear and detailed instructions that made it easy to find. Overall, it was a solid stay with some nice touches in a developing area.

Taylor & Jordan’s place was amazing! The pictures do it justice, but being there is the ultimate! The decor, furnishings, and the entertainment were outstanding. This is truly a 5 star experience! If you want the best place and location in Portland, this is it. The views of the mountains and easy walkable access to the Willamette River make it that much more an enjoyable experience. I will warn you, the place is so nice that you will want to stay indoors to enjoy all that is to offer. Taylor & Jordan are great hosts who are attentive. Their care taker, Daniel, happened to be on the grounds when we arrived. He introduced himself and offered to assist with our luggage. I know for sure, this will be our go to when we return to Portland! Thank you Taylor & Jordan

Thank you Michelle and Sarah for a wonderful stay! Communication was excellent from start to finish. Michelle and Sarah were so accommodating with all of our requests, and were so kind to give us suggestions/recommendations since we aren’t totally familiar with the area yet. The place was so cozy, and a great location close to restaurants and shops! We will definitely be back, and will absolutely book with Michelle and Sarah again!

We have stayed at this property in this condo in 2023. It is extremely clean and peaceful. The river runs right by it with beautiful views. The bed is very comfortable and everything you might need is in the kitchen! The few restaurants in this area are great! A perfect getaway for our 37th wedding anniversary! The Salmon River Trail is a beautiful walk. A must see! We will visit this property again as it is so quiet and relaxing.

We enjoyed the stay, nice condo, beautiful location, close to Portland and close to Hood. Place nice and clean with everything you need in place… thank you
