Stan and Sharon are the most tremendous, thoughtful, and communicative hosts. They were willing to work with me to make our small wedding reception happen on their property, and coordinated details with me months ahead of time. They welcomed myself and my family at the property before our rental to get a feel for the space and see the event materials they had on hand (lawn games, tables, chairs). The property itself is like a dream — gardens bursting with flowers, berries, and vegetables, the Willamette River rolling slowly by, and gorgeously furnished guest rooms! Stan and Sharon were so helpful and hands-on throughout the entire planning process for our weekend event, and even assisted us in getting the event equipment from their barn to the main house. Sharon lead a floral arranging session with myself and several friends where we got to pick roses, snapdragons, zinnias, and many other flowers from her garden and arrange them into table settings. My whole family had a blast here and I couldn’t have asked for a better location and hosts for my wedding reception. Thank you to River Haven House for making our dreams come true!

If I could give more stars, I would. Stan and Sharon deserve ALL the stars for their amazing property and hosting skills. The place is stunningly beautiful, restful, and luxurious. The best equipped kitchen I've ever rented anywhere, anytime. But the star of the show is the lovely hosts. Attentive, but not overbearing. Available, generous, kind. Wow. We had a week surrounding our daughter's wedding. The venue was offsite, but long-traveled family enjoyed the fabulous beds and the bride and bridesmaids got ready there. Pictures of the wedding party on the property are eye-popping! And don't even get me started on all the beautiful flowers and how Stan and Sharon made their facility available to us to assist our sis-in-law florist with her duties. Highly recommend!

The most incredible and beautiful experience ever
There are not enough kind words that can be said about Sharon and Stan and their property. It’s absolutely stunning, and you feel like you’re transported to another world. Sharon has spent 32 years planting all of the flowers, of which there are 1,000 rose bushes all around the property. It’s the most idealistic view of the river, and the grounds are kept immaculate. The house is so comfortable; each bed is very comfortable and fit our family perfectly. It’s well-stocked and just an amazing experience overall, and I could not recommend this listing and Sharon and Stan more. To say they went above and beyond is an understatement. I am eternally grateful for my stay here at River House.

Picture perfect
The property was perfect. In hindsight, I wish we had spent more time on the grounds instead of driving around the valley. This is a wonderful getaway for anyone, couples or families. The house, the gardens, the river, all beautiful. We look forward to another stay.

Beautiful property!
We had the best stay at River Raven House. Stan and Sharon could not have been better hosts. They were communicative, quick to respond, and made our stay feel welcome. They even allowed us to have a small wedding ceremony and have 15 of our closest family members out for dinner one of the nights in the backyard.
RRH is on a stunning property, with a huge back yard. It was the perfect back drop for our ceremony and our dinner outside. The home on the inside is just as beautiful! We would love to come back and stay for a longer weekend!

Wine Country Gem
My family had a magical experience at River Haven House. We were in Wilsonville for my daughters horse shows and the location was perfect for getting her to the show park while being just a short 20-30 minute drive from the heart of Oregon’s famed Willamette Valley.
This property was the best equipped and managed place we have ever stayed, and the owners (who conveniently live next door) have thought of everything to make your stay perfect. We love to cook, and the kitchen is as good as their listing! Spending time kayaking in the river, followed by wine in the veranda, was a great way to wind down.
We cannot wait to visit again

Wonderful location in wine country
My family stayed at River Haven House for a wedding weekend at a nearby winery. The house and grounds are beautiful and fit our needs perfectly. Stan and Sharon even put a ramp at the front stairs so my mother could have easy access using her walker. She was also able to use the bedroom/bathroom that is downstairs. We were busy with activities elsewhere so we didn’t have a lot of down time to enjoy this fabulous tranquil setting on the river. That will be for our next stay!

This place is everything it promises and more: comfortable, beautiful, peaceful, and fun. We prepared a great Thanksgiving meal in their gourmet kitchen, played games in the living room with a roaring fire, took long walks in the fresh country air, and we even went out on the river in a fabulous canoe. It is a stunning home on an outstanding property, and your hosts have literally thought of everything.

Sharon and Stan provided a fantastic experience in a beautiful setting. No need to visit the Portland Rose Gardens because you get it all on the property. Well equipped kitchen, plenty of places to spread out and relax. Great for a family gathering.

Stan and Sharon were gracious hosts for our wine country adventure. River Haven is a comfortable, cozy and lux landing spot and conveniently located to many of the wineries we visited. We will definitely return with more friends.

Heaven on Earth!
River Haven House is a magical place made even more magical by the loving owners!
We were were stunned upon arrival at it's beautiful location and then completely enchanted with everything about the property and home. Each room was lovely, the art fantastic, and the owners lavished us with homemade treats and wine yet completely gave us our privacy. If you are looking for a peaceful, warm, wonderful home to rent, do not hesitate. It is everything you could hope it would be and more.
