What an amazing place! I could have stayed here my entire visit and never gone into Astoria ... just sitting on the dock and watching the wildlife and dipping my toes in the creek. Lots of room for everyone (we had 7 adults and we had space to be by ourselves or as a group). Astoria is about 15 minutes away and is such a great place to visit with lots of things to do and see.

Exceeded expectations
All I can say is we were very sad to leave. Such a beautiful place, exceedingly clean, cozy, peaceful, private and relaxing. Lots of space in the house, well stocked and super close to town (but we hardly left!) Sitting on the deck and watching so many birds at dusk was a highlight. Looking forward to coming back someday.
