Home | Riverfront Cottage

Welcome to Riverfront Cottage—your private escape on the edge of the Willamette River. The view stretches across a quiet natural habitat where herons, bald eagles, geese, and river wildlife pass by throughout the day. Guests love sipping coffee in the fenced backyard, watching the river drift along, or ending the evening beside the fire pit. It’s peaceful, effortless, and designed for pure relaxation.

Inside, you’ll find thoughtful comforts, music-inspired touches, and a warm, home-like atmosphere. Whether you’re unwinding for the weekend or settling in for a longer stay, the cottage gives you room to breathe, reset, and enjoy the simple luxury of quiet.

Tucked along the banks of the Willamette River, this thoughtfully restored riverfront cottage is designed for guests who value calm, comfort, and small, meaningful details. Set on a private, wooded property beside Maddox Woods Park, the cottage offers a rare blend of nature immersion and easy access to nearby neighborhoods, trails, and Portland beyond.

Inside, the space is warm, light-filled, and intentionally appointed. Large windows frame river and garden views, while comfortable seating and a decorative flame fireplace create an inviting place to unwind after a day outdoors. The cottage is fully private, with its own entrance, dedicated parking, and quiet separation from the main residence.

The kitchen is designed for real use, whether you’re preparing a simple breakfast or a relaxed evening meal. Guests will find coordinated dinnerware and glassware, full service for eight, quality cookware, and a wide range of coffee and tea options—including a premium Ninja drip machine, stovetop moka espresso maker, French press, pour-over setup, and a hand-crank grinder for whole-bean lovers. Indoor dining seats four comfortably, with additional outdoor dining options near the river and beneath a large umbrella for shaded meals. A curated picnic basket is also available for river days, hikes, coastal drives, or wine country excursions.

The bedroom offers a restful retreat with direct access to the full bathroom. Sleep comfort is highly personalized here: a curated “pillow bar” allows guests to choose from thirteen pillow styles, paired with multiple blanket options from lightweight to cozy. The bathroom is stocked with high-quality, non-allergenic liquid bath gel, Nexxus shampoo and conditioner, plush towels, and a Dyson hair dryer with hair straightener.

For work or extended stays, the cottage includes exceptionally fast fiber internet (up to 2 Gbps), indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi coverage across the grounds, and a wired Ethernet option. A height-adjustable standing desk, ergonomic Herman Miller chair, and optional printer access make the space genuinely work-friendly without feeling like an office.

Outdoors, guests can enjoy river access, garden paths, a fire pit, and nearby parkland that connects directly to local trails and a kayak launch. Wildlife sightings are common, from songbirds in the morning to deer in the evening. Kayak and canoe rentals are available close by, and the surrounding area offers hiking, local vineyards, charming neighborhoods, and easy access to downtown Portland.

Whether you’re planning a quiet solo retreat, a romantic getaway, or a nature-forward stay with thoughtful comforts, this riverfront cottage is designed to feel both restorative and personal—never generic, never rushed, and always welcoming.

About the Owner

I love travel that’s rooted in curiosity—discovering new places through local food, music, nature, and everyday rhythms. I tend to travel lightly, valuing experiences and thoughtful details over excess, and I bring that same mindset to hosting. Welcoming guests into my space is something I take seriously. I believe a great stay comes from care, clarity, and respect—for people, for place, and for the environment. The cottage reflects that philosophy: calm, well-prepared, and intentionally designed to help guests feel at ease from the moment they arrive. Whether you’re here to rest, explore, or simply enjoy a slower pace, my goal is for your stay to feel comfortable, personal, and genuinely well cared for.
