Great place to get away from the city and get some peace and quiet. Lots of windows, a balcony and some really beautiful views. 2.2 miles to Rainier OR, snacks and fuel, beer and wine, groceries, etc. Rainer has two marinas! We have a working garden all spring/summer/fall. You will see us working in the garden often but we won't be in your space. With bookings longer than one week, will require access to inside the home to water our sunroom plants. We will do this by appointment with you. The space The Pacific Northwest is an amazing place. We like to spend time in the area for the peace of mind, fishing, breathtaking views, and fun people. This house was designed to feature the view and have the space to take a breath. With beautiful views from nearly every room and multiple deck and balcony vistas, you really can get lost here. Entire top floors boast close to 3500 sq FT inside space, deck, backyard with entertainment area, BBQ and picnic spots abounding. We are very close to the Columbia River, Washington border, Mt. St. Helens, etc. The Amtrak stops in Kelso WA and will take you up and down the coast for exploring. We also can reference some great guides and resources if you wish. What makes this spot truly amazing is the park-like setting, amazing views of wildlife, and being able to get out and enjoy a getaway that is about 55 min away from so many adventures. We travel and work mobile and stay here off and on through the year, and like to have a place to have our family gatherings a few times a year. We do keep a small private office and storage in the downstairs basement, that level is off limits. We are here most of the time working in our garden, updating landscaping, and enjoying the orchard. The shop out back of the house are where we keep separate quarters. You will not be bothered, as we appreciate your experience and wish you the same enjoyment that we get every day. Two spacious floors and lots of room to entertain. We do have stairs as the house is multi-level This works well for sharing space and also separate space from top floor and people sleeping, there are potential sleeping arrangements and bathrooms on each floor to assist. Main floor has a small office in the front entry with a Pull-out couch and TV. The main floor is great for entertaining and is very open with hardwoods and tile. Large dining room with seating and a sun room with lots of windows leading to a small deck for an outdoor sunset. Kitchen has traditional setup and convection oven, Dishwasher, new fridge, etc. We stock the kitchen with equipment and utensils. Usually, we have some basic ingredients-cooking oil, rice and starches, seasonings, and such, but there is a good store close to the location. We can also arrange to make available some of the fresh garden items we produce here on the property if visiting in the summer. BBQ setup outside and seating for picnic with large table. We offer some outdoor cooking opportunities during the season depending on interest and availability. The top floor has 3 Queen bedrooms with a shared bath There is also a larger Master queen bedroom at the end of the hall with a private bath and small office area. We keep the upstairs space dedicated to sleeping, all bedrooms have televisions, and all rooms have good WIFI for streaming. The Master and one Queen have an adjacent balcony area for outdoor view The upstairs Studio area is set up with a reclining Futon couch set, chairs, and a TV/Sound system for media. It has a great view, is somewhat separate from the rest of the house-great for getting away from the rest of the group for a show or music. This studio area also has two cots and Cabelas sleeping rolls and Futon to accommodate additional sleeping arrangements. We are big fans of taking memories and leaving footprints, sharing these views and the peace and quiet of this area. We are not really set up for large or loud parties, as we do have some proximal neighbors and like to limit the impact to the property. For the right group, and from personal experience, this place is legendary. Guest access Entire Main Floors and top floors, backyard, patio and BBQ area. We have an office and lodging on the lower level and in the back shop. We travel quite a bit, but you may see us come and go. Plenty of parking out front, no parking in the back. Please do not block areas as we come and go occasionally. We provide a wonderful space, your obligation is to return it without large changes or any cleanup needed outside of normal use. Guest must remove shoes to reduce dirt and being mindful of cleanup, this will help make the exit easy. We provide some basic items for cleaning as you go, any large messes please report promptly. There is a local cleaning agency if you stay for longer periods that you can retain if you do not wish to clean prior to departure. We do have a professional cleaner come help with resets, She and her family have been our associates since day one. It is truly a fantastic place to gather friends and family. Other things to note Weather in the area can run a little cooler due to the proximity of the Columbia river and the coast. Occasional misty rain even in summer in the morning is wonderful, and makes the air fresh. I do host simple accommodations, but the space and ability to get out of town with some friends is a value to be noted. Given proper notice bday cakes and special orders or catering is available, we are closely networked with some great Portland Culinary Talent and happy to share
