Private, Cozy Retreat Convenient To Portland And The Gorge

This cozy, detached 1br/1ba cottage is located in a sleepy residential neighborhood in charming downtown Washougal. It's a short walk from the cottage to downtown businesses including a coffee shop, restaurants, brewpub, bar, the local heritage museum, the Pendleton Woolen Mill and the Columbia River waterfront. We are also just a 20 min drive from Portland International Airport (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. 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 tracks run 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. In June 2023 we added a front walkway with lighting and private patio with furniture and a gas grill.

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), a private enclosed patio and gas grill. Inside you will find 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.

As there is not an enclosed outdoor space available, 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 socialize as the occasion arises. And we are always happy to answer questions or address any needs that may come up during your stay.

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).

Private, Cozy Retreat Convenient To Portland And The Gorge offers its guests barbecue grills and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.
