Waterfront vacation rentals in Portland

Best experiance ever for an Airbnb!!! 5 stars is not enough. i am already making plans to come back again. The property is beautiful, the inside is perfection, and felt like a retreat the moment we stepped out of the car. we felt spoiled and enjoyed every moment we were there. the only downside was having to leave. the bar is now set so high for anywhere else we go its going to be almost impossible to match this stay. I will be back again soon for sure...

We stayed for a week and loved it! The river was in walking distance and the downtown area was beautiful (we visited the soda shop multiple times). The space itself was perfect for the two of us. It was clean and the duckies in the pond were one of our favorite things. Additionally, any time we had issues the host responded almost instantly. We thoroughly enjoyed our nice, quiet stay.

Cannot say enough about the wonderful experience we had staying at Rivers Retreat. It truly is a magical place right next to the Washougal River where you are surrounded by nature and can hear the peaceful river below. The hosts are more than helpful and we were grateful for their recommendations. We enjoyed watching the bald eagles and relaxing by the bonfire. The indoor space was very well kept and full of amenities. We will definitely return for another stay if ever in the area.

I had a wonderful stay at Sygarry’s place. The private bedroom and bathroom provided the perfect level of comfort and privacy. The location was ideal, as it was within walking distance to downtown/PSU and had easy access to transportation options like buses, street cars, and the Max. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone visiting Portland!

This two bed, one bath ADU is lovely. The private deck looks out on the water. There is a shared pier with chairs. We sat there and watched the Bald Eagles. The place is very quiet and private. The hosts are friendly and accommodating. I would return to this place in a heartbeat!

I had a fabulous stay at Therese’s place! It was incredibly peaceful and calm, with stunning views of the river right from the bedroom — such a perfect way to start the day. Therese was so friendly and kind, and as it was my first time visiting Portland, she went above and beyond by recommending lots of great things to do and see. She even brought us our favorite breakfast items to enjoy— such a thoughtful touch! I would definitely stay here again anytime I visit Portland. Highly recommend!

Our stay was lovely! So many thoughtful touches, such a lovely space. Would be great for use as a base for winter fun on the mountain or summer by the river. 10/10 no notes!

This was my second time staying on Jeremy’s magical property, and this time we brought the whole family! We rented both the main house and guest house for a weekend getaway, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. The main house is warm, inviting, and incredibly spacious—perfect for gathering everyone under one roof. The design is thoughtful and full of charm, with cozy corners, a well-stocked kitchen, and comfortable beds throughout. We cooked, laughed, and shared meals around the dining table, then relaxed by the fire or explored the beautiful surroundings. The private lake, forest trails, wildflowers, and peaceful energy of this place make it feel like your own private nature retreat. We saw all kinds of critters, made bonfires, and enjoyed being completely unplugged. It was everything we hoped for and more. Jeremy’s hospitality is unmatched, and this property continues to be a favorite. We can’t wait to return again.

We had a great stay at this beautifully architected home right on the river. Everything was clean and comfortable. Some of us even braved a dip in the river which was super worth it! Highly recommend this secluded and peaceful property for your next stay.

It’s more comfortable and more beautiful than all the pictures. The river is completely visible from the living room and you can hear it all night. Within a 20 minute drive you can find amazing spots for hiking, swimming, scenic views, a few local restaurants(Pacific Northwest Pizza is amazing!), and just about anything else you would want from a location like this. If you’re willing to go an hour or two away you can get to Mt. St. Helens, the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, the Columbia River Gorge, and plenty more. The only hiccup we had for our stay was when we accidentally locked ourselves out and the Wi-Fi happened to be down(the provider’s issue, not our wonderful hosts’!). Thankfully someone was at the other house on the property to help us. The hosts were always very friendly and respectful of our privacy. We loved our time here so much and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, peaceful, and fun place to get away. We hope to come back some day!

We loved staying here! It was a bit far from all the things we chose to do in Portland, but the drive back and forth was beautiful, picturesque, and actually a lot of fun! The place itself was so cozy, situated just off from the Washougal River. It was a great visit, and we’d happily stay here again if we ever came back to the area!

We loved our stay! Beautifully decorated, great location, and plenty of space. Would love to stay again

We were visiting family in the Portland area and this home in Vancouver was conveniently located to travel quickly back and forth. I appreciated having the driveway for parking and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We loved having morning coffee outside by the pond! The home was comfortable and worked well for our needs.

This was the perfect location for our stay during our son’s wedding weekend at Horning’s Hideout. We hosted a family brunch and the house was the perfect setting with everything we needed and more. Our guests loved the setting and felt right at home. We are grateful for our time at the house in North Plains and would not hesitate to visit again.

This space is fab esp if you’re with family/friends and using multiple levels. Each level is unique. Sitting on the balcony of the top level and tossing peanuts to the steller jays while boaters and rowing crews sailed by on the riverwas such a treat for my family. Visiting the pub that’s only a 1/4 mi away was fun too. People are so welcoming, none moreso than Mandie, who went out of her way to make our stay wonderful. Definitely recommend and hope to return.

This place was the perfect location for me. I love the proximity of the Riverwalk river walk. I also thought the little patio outside was a great place to sit and relax. I would highly recommend this as a great place to stay in Portland.

Thank you Michelle and Sarah for a wonderful stay! Communication was excellent from start to finish. Michelle and Sarah were so accommodating with all of our requests, and were so kind to give us suggestions/recommendations since we aren’t totally familiar with the area yet. The place was so cozy, and a great location close to restaurants and shops! We will definitely be back, and will absolutely book with Michelle and Sarah again!

This apartment is in a great location with an great view of the River. we enjoyed sitting and watching the sailboats in the evening. The kitchen was well stocked for preparing food. Checkout was easy. We would definitely stay again.

Loren is a great host. I cannot recommend her enough. She is an amazing person, and the house was beautiful and spacious. She is kind and helpful. If you are visiting Portland or Oregon City, stay with Loren!
