Property details

Riverfront Home - 2 Separate Kitchens This beautiful property is right across the I-205 bridge from the PDX Airport, offering a most convenient location for travelers. This home, also known as “Woods Landing”, is a nature preserve consisting of forest, meadows, streams and riverbank. It is located on the banks of the Columbia River with private beach access most times of the year. Beautiful natural habitat and wildlife including deer and eagles make this property a perfect get away. Perfect for nature seekers! This is not your typical sterile stay, this property is full of life and spunk the whole family can enjoy! While this home gets a lot of natural wind from being right on the water, we have provided two portable air conditioners and ample fans to make your stay a comfortable one! Please keep an eye on your children and adults near the water. This is directly on the River, which makes it a breathtaking view, but please practice safety as there are no gates or fences on this property. This property is in the middle of a wooded area. While we strive to be a pest free home, living in the PNW forest has spiders, and other friendly creatures. Sometimes, these visitors find their way inside. This is a byproduct of where we the house is settled. If you are squeamish about these things, this may not be the retreat for you! Fireplace is not available for use. Ring camera at the front door overlooking front entrance The home may include a decibel monitoring sensor to ensure that neighborhood noise levels are respected. NoiseAware is a smart home device that measures decibel levels throughout the property. It allows us to respond to noise nuisances without disrupting your stay. Tampering is prohibited. You will have full access to the main floor of this home. We do have a long-term guest in a completely separate basement entry with a limited side of the house private entry. Full access to Main House and front/side and back yard/deck area. Private access to the River for canoeing or tubing or relaxation. As this is a protected Property, a few rules apply: No parties or large gatherings on beach. No beach access at all during the months of November – January (salmon are spawning). Access on beach is only permitted directly in front of the house and not upstream. No bottles allowed on beach. No pets allowed on the property (there is a dog on-site in the basement apartment). Ample for Uber and Lyft. We do not live on-site, so we do utilize cohosts and are just a phone call away for any questions that arise. We would love to hear about your stay! We do have a long-term tenant/basement renter. There should be little to no contact, and this space has its own entrance so you will not have your private space interrupted. This property is self check-in. Woods Landing Home and property is part of the Columbia Grove and Woods Landing Preservation Projects, spearheaded by non-profit and community organizations and conservationists in the community to preserve vital sections of the Columbia River habitat for imperiled Chum Salmon. Wood’s Landing is one of the last remaining natural spawning grounds on the Lower Columbia for endangered Chum Salmon. The spawning grounds welcome over 3,000 Chum salmon each year that return to the springs to spawn and renew life. Columbia Land Trust and Columbia Springs Environmental Education Center are partnered with the owners of Woods Landing to preserve this land in perpetuity for conservation purposes. Many wildlife species live on the property including bald eagles, deer, raccoons, rabbits, beaver, and otter. Bald Eagles can often be spotted in the trees by the beach or in the thick forest by the roadway coming into the property (at the edge of the meadow with tree plantings). This property invites in nature in a purposeful way. You may hear, see and experience all levels of nature at this woodsy retreat! The home features a large, sprawling layout with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two kitchens, three dining areas, and multiple living spaces. This retreat is a home away from home that meets up the old original wood beam high ceilings with unique updated finishes.

Was a bit hard to figure out the very last turns. Not sure if you can put a sign out near the turn off into the group of homes. The place is beautiful! We enjoyed the river and the blackberries on the way down! It worked great for our extended family group!

Our family traveled to WA for our daughter’s wedding. We had stayed at one of Jamison’s properties previously. We required a space that would accommodate at least 7 people. We loved our stay here. The scenery is beautiful and we spent many mornings on the patio, viewing the Columbia River through the trees and watching boats, Sea Doos and barges float by. The nearby train was a melodic addition to the area. Ed’s were comfortable and the home was clean. It was unseasonably warm, so the lack of AC was felt, but there were ample fans in all rooms, and two of the five bedrooms had portable or window installed AC. Our host was extremely responsive, usually communicating within ten minutes. There was a minor issue in one of the showers, but a plumber was out with three hours of notifying the host. The property provided a lovely backdrop to take pre ceremony photos and the host was gracious in allowing guest visitors for the day and a photographer. We will definitely stay here again

Communication was great, fast responses all the time. Loved the area. Like a jungle before getting to the house. The spider and bug situation was everywhere. Reading the previous comments, sounds like it has been answered. Just hard to believe that all the rest of the houses around that area has that amount of spiders and bugs. We did see the downstairs tenant. He avoided us and we avoided him. And he wasn’t there much, so it really wasn’t an issue. But there are stairs to the basement in the house… that is probably blocked off, but we didn’t look. My kids loved going down and skipping rocks at the water front. Very quiet area, very pretty.
