Property details

Nestled atop the slopes above the Tualatin River resides one of the more unique and special escapes the region has to offer. Please note this location sits on a piece of property where there is another one bedroom retreat (Marv's Place), a long term residence, and even a small business office. While any of the locations you stay at, your privacy is completely respected, however there may be other activity in the area including at the incredible shared areas such as the oversized hanging iron firepit or the meandering stairs leading to the property's Tualatin River dock. Due to the geographical setting, we do ask that there are not kids under 12 as the drop-off to the river below could be quite hazardous for kiddos. The 'Goat Shed' was originally just that in days yonder. Now it is an exquisite one bedroom, one bath escape, with a full kitchen and laundry. Every aspect has been renovated, upgraded, and furnished to create a perfect blend of comfort and style all. The entire space was designed to highlight the incredible riverside and forest views. It's hard to beat enjoying a morning or evening beverage tableside while looking over the picturesque setting. As if that wasn't enough, just a couple dozen feet away you will find the 'Zen Den'. This is another bedroom with its own, mini fridge, sink, seating, and toilet. Please do note, it does not have its own shower. That is shared and within with the Goat Shed. While it may be missing it's own shower, what it does have is a perched deck overlooking the Tualatin River with views that have to be experienced to believe. You will want to spend every moment out here you can. These two spaces make up 'The Cedars at Rivers Edge'. The outdoor area at the property is quite special. The areas that are specific to this retreat are the deck and immediate outside areas of the Goat Shed and Zen Den. The large fire-pit area is a shared space with Marv's Place as well. The patio under Marv's Place is only for guests of that unit. Also as we mentioned earlier there is a small office above Marv's Place so people may come and go throughout the day. There is ample parking available for guests on the property as well. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all. PET FRIENDLY: **There is a $50 pet fee per pet with a maximum of $150 (3 pets). Although we are pet-friendly please note your pet must not be left unattended at the house without you present, even if in a crate/kennel. Special notes: Please refer to the overhead photos about the layout and where parking is. Pets must remain on a leash at all times when outside on the property. This property is equipped with floor heating and may take several hours to reach the desired temperature.

Stayed at this property during our visit to the Willamette Valley over a weekend. We had our dog with us as well, so it was a great place to stay and location for our needs. Beautifully surroundings and peaceful location right next to the river. We really enjoyed our stay.

The hosts have really put their heart into making the spot beautiful, with heaps of chairs, throws and plenty of room to chill. My family and I, along with our dog, had a great time! I’d definitely recommend it!
