About this property

River Cabin in the Woods

NEWLY PAINTED AND UPDATED! This immaculate, remodeled cabin is a perfect retreat at the end of a private road. A wrap-around deck, partially covered, offers a panoramic view of the Siuslaw River and the Siuslaw National Forest. The open living and dining rooms provide a spacious area for visiting and enjoying the river sights and sounds. There are two bedrooms and 1 and 1/2 baths. The master bedroom has a queen bed, a flat screen TV, a separate closet, and a riverside viewing window. The second bedroom has two twin beds and a separate closet. A 5th person can be accommodated on the couch (sleeping bag provided).

The kitchen has been remodeled and completely stocked with dishes, cookware, and utensils along with a dishwasher. All small appliances are provided including a Keurig coffeepot. The large kitchen counter/bar area can be utilized in many ways. The kitchen flows into the living room which is furnished with comfortable chairs, a large couch, and a flat screen TV. A utility room with washer and dryer is available for your convenience. And, all linens are included.

From the deck you may see many types of wildlife on the opposite river bank, including waterfowl and the occasional deer, bear, otter and beaver. A pair of eagles has nested across the river for about fifteen years, and they can be seen almost daily. In the fall, the Siuslaw River offers some of the best salmon and steelhead fishing in the Northwest, and trout fishing from the bank can be good. For the overnighting fishermen, this is the perfect place! The whitewater river provides summer activities like rafting, crawdad fishing, inner tube floating, and fun exploring.

CAUTION: The Siuslaw River is highly regulated, and sometimes rules and regulations change during the year. These moodificatons may not be reflected in the State publication(s). If you intend to fish, I recommend that you look at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife website for changes.

A well maintained lawn provides a place for peaceful, tranquil outdoor living such as picnicking, reading, games, and watching the world go by while viewing and listening to the river. Do keep a sharp eye out for osprey and bald eagles. We refer to this area as our own little "state park."

The cabin is close to many outdoor activities in the Mapleton/ Florence area - hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, sand dunes, Pacific beaches, and shopping. Close by Sweet Creek Falls, only about twelve miles away, is one of the best known hiking areas in Oregon, with a series of rapids and waterfalls, as well as old growth scenery . Distances shown are "as the crow flies," so driving distances are further.

This property is a retreat that allows for all kinds of relaxing fun. It is picturesquely nestled in a secluded forested area by the river with all needs met both inside and outside. Owner operated and available for assistance.

In addition to the beautiful, getaway atmosphere, this location offers the following:

* Dish Network
* Two flat screen TV's
* WiFi
* Full laundry room
* Weber gas grill on the deck
* Fish cleaning station
* Close to Mapleton for groceries and boat launches
* Near Florence and the Three Rivers Casino

Cozy place is the woods.

The hosts' directions made it easy to reach the property, and check-in was a breeze. It was refreshing to be on land that wasn't crowded by neighbors.

Amazing Visit

The property was exactly what we needed for our family of 4! The host’s were quick to reply when I had questions, offered up fishing gear so we could fish in the river, had kindling for the fire pit. Great hosts! The cabin was clean and all the essentials were at the ready. We hope to stay again on a future Oregon visit

Excellent rental

It's just as advertised and then some. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies and they even provided bottled water for those that don't like the taste of their well water, and paper plates for people who didn't want to bother with dishes. They went above and beyond what we have experienced with other rentals. We will absolutely go there again for our next trip.

Amazing Getaway for a Quiet Escape

This is an incredible getaway with the best hosts I've ever had on any trip. The cabin is exactly as pictured, and the sound of the river is audible from inside the cabin, which made for a fantastically relaxing weekend. They were very responsive to questions, provided a lovely welcome basket, and pointed out when eagles were approaching their nest. We will definitely be return visitors here when time allows, and feel very lucky we found it.

A lovely river cabin

My husband and i stayed a weekend for our anniversary and it was perfect. Well stocked, cozy and clean. Hosts were very friendly but let us have our privacy. You truly are right on the siuslaw river and the view from the deck is beautiful. We hope to come back with the kids during salmon season. Thank you Lance and Carol!

Beautiful and Relaxing

We were in Oregon to see family and do some sightseeing, and this cabin was the perfect place to come back to every day. It was very clean and had everything that you may need as a traveler. The view of the river was unparalleled- we had fun looking for wildlife and just enjoying the views. Definitely a place we want to come back to and would recommend to anyone visiting Oregon.
