The Tides

Wake up right on the water at this cozy riverfront escape. Step onto the deck, sip your coffee, watch the river roll by, and unplug. Peaceful, private, and perfect for slowing down, spotting wildlife, and soaking up true waterfront living. 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. 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. Guests will have access to the entirety of the property, minus access to the garage. Having your own vehicle is strongly recommended, as the property is located in a more remote area outside the city. 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. "Make sure to check out Brooks Slough Rd and the wildlife refuge trail at the end of Steamboat Slough Rd. We saw endless eagles, deer, elk and so much more. Also, head over to Vista Park just across the street at sunrise/sunset for an easy-access beach walk." 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. INDUCTION STOVE: It automatically turns itself off and locks after about a couple hours of non-use, so it will be locked when you arrive. To unlock it, hold your finger on the "lock" touchpad which is on the lower right. This is the small circle with the label "lock, hold 3 sec to lock". Sometimes you must hold this circle for 10-15 seconds. The stove will light up. From there, turn the stove "on" by putting your finger on the "on/off" icon. Note that you must both "unlock" the stove and turn it "on", two separate steps. To cook with the stove, use any of the four burners by putting a pan on a burner. Use a pan which is the same size or larger than the burner. Then touch the circular burner icon which corresponds to the burner with the pan on it. For example, if you have a pan on the lower right burner, tap on the lower right icon. Then choose a "power setting" from 1 (warm) to 9 (max). This stove is very powerful, so be careful. HEATING AND COOLING: The house is heated and cooled with two forced air heat pumps. The downstairs air comes from a large unit near the ceiling in the kitchen to the upper right of the kitchen window. To turn on the heat pump, use the remote control located in the wall bracket in the hallway. You must point the remote control at the heating unit, otherwise it won't work. The remote control has an on/off switch and temperature control. Alternatively, you can turn on the heat pump with the small "on/off" switch on the lower right corner of the actual heating unit. The upstairs unit is identical to the downstairs unit. It has its own remote. IMPORTANT: The two heat pumps (upstairs and downstairs) can be used to heat or cool the house but they must not be inconsistent with one another. In other words, do not put one unit on "heat" and the other on "cool". This will cause serious damage to the heat pumps. Level 2 Charger: Please reach out to guest support in advance if you would like to use this feature so we can make it available for you.
