About this cottage rental
Eva's Cottage - Romancing the River Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' Rustic luxury with attention to detail. Eva's Cottage is comfortable and cozy, with many thoughtful touches like the down comforter and pillows on the queen-size, custom-built log bed (truly one of a kind!), and travertine/river rock shower. Relax by the massive stone, wood-burning fireplace, or in the hot tub just outside the greatroom. With wireless internet, internet TV and landline, you'll be as connected as you want, or need to be. This one-bedroom, one-bath, cottage is perfect for a couple or a solo visitor. Alternate lifestyle- and dog-friendly. From the greatroom, antique casement windows overlook the wraparound porch. The nook is a quiet, serene spot for reading or sleeping, and the kitchen is completely furnished to accommodate serious cooks, as well as those seeking a vacation from cooking. In the well-stocked kitchen you'll find a programmable drip coffee maker, coffee filters, coffee grinder, a French Press, a Keurig, microwave, toaster oven, electric water kettle, placemats, cloth napkins, tea towels and a British hotel teapot with a copper cozy. All this is in addition to a full set of cookware, flatware, glasses, gas grill dinnerware for four, and full-size appliances. Amenities at Eva's Cottage also include toiletries, firewood, and dog towels/cleanup kit (your pooch is welcome). If you need entertainment beyond watching the deer grazing nearby, you'll find internet TV (there is no other TV reception; the trees are so large they block line of sight to satellites) in greatroom, a TV/DVD/stereo in the bedroom, lots of games and books. Read about the fascinating woman who created this little slice of heaven which bears her name! Eva's Cottage sits just a few steps from our sandy beach, down a sloping path. It is an idyllic location with many eagles, heron, hawks, and deer, a large 20' deep swimming hole and year-round waterfall. The land surrounding the Cottage and across the river is private and protected. The temperate climate is never too hot or too cold. [Note: beach is shared by residents of nearby home, but they are quiet and respectful of our guests. Please note also that beach fires and fishing from the beach are not allowed (there is great fishing just 1/2 mile downriver, on the other side of the Salmon Falls bridge).] This 28.5 acre retreat includes a large and rare stand of old-growth Douglas fir, Western cedar, hemlock and maple; some of which are estimated to be more than 300 years old. Eva's descendants steward the land and maintain the forest with an eye to future generations' enjoyment. You'll have access to four trails along the property, so be sure to bring your hiking boots! A good supermarket, drugstore, and other services are about 14 miles away in the town of Washougal. The location provides easy, year-round access to hiking, boating, fishing, skiing and more. The Washougal is one of only two completely unpolluted rivers in the region. It offers fine fishing, whitewater rafting, canoeing and kayaking as it flows into the mighty Columbia River just a few miles to the south. All manner of outdoor activities are close by, yet the setting itself is secluded and free from the noise and distractions of everyday life. * Please note that there is no cell service at this home. ** There are outdoor security cameras on this property, however there are NO security cameras inside the home or on the hot tub.

Thank you for an exceptional experience! The descriptions, information, and communication were outstanding - we knew exactly what to bring, how to find you, check in, and enjoy the stay. The cabin was very comfortable for our family of 3 + dog. The kitchen was well-stocked and had everything we needed. The rooms and covered porch were spacious and had comfy nooks for us all to have some space. Everything was very clean and worked well. We appreciated all of the special touches, like tea for the keurig, bathroom supplies, stories about the family, and trail guides. We especially chose this spot to have some privacy and be immersed in nature; we enjoyed our stay very much.

This cabin in the woods feels like a home away from home. With easy river access and immediate nature surrounding, this home is the definition of peace. When we stayed, it rained and we also got to see the sun bounce off all of the trees and the beautiful river. My dogs were so happy at this property and seeing them happy made it all worth it. I enjoyed not having cell service and using the wifi for night time entertainment. The hot tub was perfection and the bed was delightful. I’m excited to encourage friends to also check it out in the near future. This could easily be a go to spot for year round relaxation.

It was so quiet and peaceful, I definitely want to come back. Every day, we saw. deer, and my dogs and I loved exploring the trails several times a day, even in the rain. The river rock shower and stone fireplace are truly beautiful.

Nice cozy cabin on a beautiful river. $150 cleaning fee for a dirty cottage. Washed all dishes before using them, feet were black from floor , after cleaning and sanitizing we missed the sunset because no early check in, not even 30mins according to the rude representative. Here’s the best part, literally someone waiting there to escort you off the property at 9:45am because check out is at 10am. Beautiful property that is poorly managed, would not recommend.

Perfect for our daily grind get-away. Quiet, lovely stream, hot tub for recovering from those long hikes! 😁 Must drive to catch a bridge, either way, but the views along the way are great.

Built and maintained with love. Every detail attended to. History and charm maintained though every modern need provided for. So close to town but in the middle of the woods. Water access is outstanding.

The location is epic. Easy access to swimming and a special space. If you are looking for luxury this is not the place but the cabin is great for 2 people and cozy! It was also very clean inside the cabin. No cell service but pretty good wifi so make sure your wifi calling is on.
We will return.

This location is breathtaking. You're completely surrounded by tall trees and green moss, and the river is just the right size for a leisurely float. We had a few issues with things not being clean when we arrived, and wished the trails were a little more clearly marked, but overall it was an incredible experience. We hope to come back next year.

Beautiful setting and craftsmanship. However, we entered and the fireplace had not been cleaned. It reeked of dust and ashes and I had to clean it and air it out as my wife has asthma. The window shade facing the other cabin in our bedroom was broken and lying on the sill. We had to stuff six pillows in the window. In the NW we like our coffee. We were hoping for two cups each a day for the two of us or eight for two days. We were provided two.
The cabin is very nicely done, it’s the details that set places apart and for the price we were hoping for attention to details.

I took my best friend on a 2 day girls trip for her bday. This house was so warm and cozy. We were snowed in but didnt care. We lost power a couple of times from snow storm but everything stayed nice and warm. Neighbor came to check on us which was very sweet. We were sad to leave.

Loved my stay here! I had originally booked for my spouse and two dogs however due to unforeseen circumstances, they were unable to join me. Nonetheless, I made that best of the peaceful, tranquil and absolutely beautiful space. The place was very clean and had all the luxuries. I enjoyed the fireplace and the stones which where hand picked which made it. The hot tub was perfect and the sound of the river never got old. I would absolutely go back and actually intend to very soon- hopefully next time with my honey and pups.

Great cabin for a couple. Very clean and comfortable. Hot tub worked great. Good kitchen for cooking plus gas grill. Scenic location is a great base for day hikes around the gorge. We loved this place! A+

We've rented this property multiple times & know we will be back. It's cozy, comfortable & quiet. You aren't too far from civilization, but it sure feels like it, so it's a nice balance.
Re: cleanliness, we noticed a lot of cobwebs in the house. Not entirely unexpected given the location & we never saw a single spider, but it did impact how clean the house seemed. Not a concern for us, but might be for others. There were also dishes left on the drying rack from a previous occupant. Again: not a deal breaker for us, but might be for others.

An incredibly cozy, nicely furnished cabin in a gorgeous setting. I can't imagine a better home base for exploring the area (even if all you explore is the view of the river from the rocking chair on the front porch). I hope to come back soon and often.
