Description

This cozy, detached 1br/1ba cottage is located in a quiet neighborhood in charming Washougal. We are a 20 min drive from PDX, 30 min from downtown Portland and at the gateway of the Columbia River Gorge. We are happy to host well behaved dogs and cats. Guests will enjoy their own full kitchen, bathroom with shower, queen size bed, and laundry. Cable/Roku TV and wifi are provided. Train whistles are outlawed within city limits but you will hear the frequent rumble of rolling stock as the BNSF Fallbridge sub runs directly behind the property.

We have recently (as of May 2021) updated the cottage with with new kitchen appliances and quartz countertops as well as painting the entire unit, adding a new dinette set, couch and Roku TV and other cosmetic improvements.

The cottage is located behind the main house on a .3 acre lot on a quiet street. Outside, guests will have access to off street parking for one car (no RVs), an outdoor dining area and charcoal grill. Inside you will find cable tv, wifi, coffee maker, microwave and window unit a/c in addition to basic amenities. There is a deluxe queen bed in the bedroom. Insulated walls and double pane windows help muffle the sound of trains which pass behind the property. Most guests report that they are not bothered by the train noise or get used to it quickly.

We ask that pets traveling with you be supervised at all times.

We are generally here most of the time as we both work from home. As frequent travelers, we understand the desire for space and will not infringe on guests' privacy. On the other hand, we enjoy meeting people and would be glad to have a drink or share the bbq with you as the occasion arises. And we are always happy to answer questions or address any needs that may come up during your stay.

We like the small town atmosphere coupled with the close proximity to both Portland city amenities and the beautiful serenity of the Columbia River Gorge. You can walk to downtown Washougal for coffee, drinks and restaurants.

You'll need a car to get around here. We're a quick drive from PDX and the Gorge. There is plenty of street parking on D street and we offer one off street spot alongside the house next to the cottage (not RV accessible).
