About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Tides Waterfront Retreat

Unwind at this serene, modern cabin perched on the water’s edge in Skamokawa. Surrounded by lush forest and expansive river views, this private retreat offers floor-to-ceiling windows, a cozy wood stove, and stunning decks for sunset watching. Just minutes from scenic hiking trails and kayak rentals, and a short drive to the charming town of Cathlamet. This is the kind of place where you unplug, slow down, and reconnect with nature, your loved ones, or yourself.

We utilize a third party co-host to ensure you are well taken care of around the clock as needed.
We hope you enjoy our home as if it was your own.

Enjoy direct water access and take advantage of nearby kayak rentals to explore the peaceful channels right from your backyard. Hiking trails are close by, and the quaint town of Cathlamet is just a short drive away if you need to stock up or explore local spots.

Guests will have access to the entirety of the property, minus access to the garage.



Inside, the home blends modern comfort with a cozy, elevated feel. The main level features an open-concept layout with a sleek, fully stocked kitchen, spacious living room, and a wall of windows showcasing stunning water views. Step through to the deck for indoor-outdoor living at its finest. A full bathroom and warm, inviting finishes throughout make the downstairs feel both functional and relaxing.

Upstairs, you’ll find a peaceful primary bedroom that opens into a stylish Jack-and-Jill lounge—perfect as a reading nook, home gym, or an additional sleeping area with a pull-out couch. The space includes a rowing machine, weights, and serene views for a wellness-focused retreat. A large walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom, are accessible through the master.

Having your own vehicle is strongly recommended, as the property is located in a more remote area outside the city.

This home is a great fit for taller guests, with high ceilings and spacious layouts throughout!

There is a level 2 charger that can be made available upon request.

Please note: the induction stovetop and wood stove each have specific operating instructions. You’ll find detailed guidance in our house manual, but feel free to reach out anytime if you need assistance—we’re happy to help!

We understand the importance of a peaceful environment for our guests and neighbors. To ensure everyone's comfort, our home is equipped with NoiseAware, a smart noise monitoring system. This device helps us maintain a quiet and respectful atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy a relaxing stay. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in creating a harmonious experience for everyone.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a coffee maker.

The home is beautifully decorated and updated. It was disappointing to not be able to stream movies at night, and have no Internet. Wi-Fi didn’t work either.
