About this property

A River Cottage for Every Season

This little gem sits right on the Siuslaw River, with amazing views out of every window. The Cottage has one bedroom with a queen bed, bath, kitchen and large living area that has a sleeper sofa for an additional two people. The Siuslaw River is known for Salmon and Steelhead fishing in the winter, and trout fishing year-round. A short drive into Florence makes it a great base camp for day trips up and down the coast, or exploring the nearby hills and streams.
Whether fishing in the fall and winter, getting away from the bustle of life, a romantic getaway, exploring the nearby beaches, or just spending time with the family - this spot has something for everyone all year long.
There are three houses on this property that can be rented out individually, or together for a larger group. Each house is free-standing and independent - each has it's own deck and dedicated parking area, only outdoor grassy areas and river frontage are shared. The property is long and narrow, with the houses up by the river.
The two properties are a combined 1.25 acres, with all three house up close to the river - neighbors properties are similarly situated with minimal fencing. The house is about 3.5 miles from downtown Mapleton, where there is a local restaurant, bar, store and coffee shop. Florence is 17 miles away, where you can find groceries, shopping, and beach adventure.
The Siuslaw runs out into the Pacific, so you can put a kayak or canoe in the water from the cottage, or put a larger boat in at the boat ramp down the road.

There is no cell service at the house, but we have wifi and a landline. Wifi is typically 20-25 mbps, which is usually plenty for streaming a movie over the ROKU.

Beautiful views in a perfect location

This little cottage is the perfect place to lay your head at the end of a long day running around seeing the coast. The view from the bedroom is BREATH TAKING! The siuslaw river on the back side is the best place to dip your feet or take a tube and float. We caught crayfish on our trip. The owner of the property is extremely friendly and there at any time if you need something. We will be back for sure

A Gem-Book it Now

The River View Cottage is a gem and if you are remotely interested-book it now. The location is outstanding as it is close to Eugene Airport, Florence and beach activities, plus it is nestled right up close to the Siuslaw River. We enjoyed relaxing on the back patio grilling, watching birds soar, and just listening to the sound of the river as it gently meandered along. The property is roomy and completely stocked. We were there six nights and cooked all of our meals on site. The bedroom is very comfortable and the bathroom is excellent with a large walk in shower. The owner is highly agreeable and a very good communicator. Also, since we are from central Arizona we really appreciated the nice cool weather that accompanied us during our entire mid June trip. Don't hesitate-book it now.

Quiet Hideaway

Perfect place to get away from busy life. Whether snuggling up for a movie, driving old country roads, fishing local holes, or hiking wagon trails...this location had it all! The Riverview Cottage is appropriately named, quaint, clean, and comfortable. Also, it was conveniently just miles from Florence, one of our favorite coast hangouts. Didn't disappoint.

Beautiful views, great place to stay!

The cottage is literally on the Siuslaw river with picturesque views from every window. It has everything one needs and the sleeping accommodations were very comfortable. The neighbors were welcoming and friendly and also gave great advice on some fishing spots upriver and the fish were on!! Florence beaches, coastal towns and restaurants are all within a 15 minute drive. We had some great times and are definitely looking forward to booking future stays at this Mapleton cottage. Kate is an awesome property owner who responded immediately to our questions. Thank you Kate!!

We loved this house. A river runs through the front of the house, with views from all windows. The house is well organized, decorated beautifully and very, very clean. We loved our stay and did not want to leave. We will certainly travel there again.

About the host

Hosted by Kate

Host profile image
I love meeting new people, and helping them create a vacation or getaway that they'll always remember. We've put a lot of heart and soul into creating a space that is cozy and enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

The moment I saw this property, I knew it was what we'd been looking for. It's everything you'd want from a river vacation house, and then some. I absolutely love the mountains, and the river is just the right one - in the winter, it's teaming with fish, and you can watch the leaves change on the surrounding mountains, and in the summer, it's shallow enough to get in and catch crawdads.

I truly could sit and watch the world from this property, and be completely content.

What makes this property unique

It sits on the Siuslaw River and is surrounded by coastal mountains. It's 17 miles to Florence for beach activities, or stick around and explore the hills, trails and streams.
