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

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.

Cozy cabin on the river

Well cared for cabin with all the modern conveniences of home. Close to great forest and beach hiking, as well as sand dune recreation and a variety of angling options. Very nice hosts for this small, quiet cabin that’s on the banks of a gorgeous river, and just the right distance from the coastal town of Florence & the Pacific Ocean.

Perfect River cabin

Just as advertised, a quiet river retreat. We were looking for a river setting that we could rest and revitalize after a hectic summer. Had warm sunny days and only a sort drive to the ocean. Ron and Mary

The river was absolutely magical. I spent most of my stay on the back deck reading or sitting on rocks with my feet in the river. The sound of the river flowing was music to my ears. We had an absolutely delightful stay and WILL be back. Thank you Carol and Lance.

Relaxing Beautiful Area and Comfortable

This was the BEST equipped home that I've ever stayed in the VRBO. Yes the location was beautiful alongside the Siuslaw River and secluded! But it is very apparent that the owners have equipped the home knowing people cannot possibly bring everything with them! We flew in from Ohio and we didnt have to hit a store the first day just to get basics. They had a beautiful fruit basket waiting! The firepit was relaxing and we were able to use the grill on property. The home is decorated so cute. We LOVED staying here. Thank you for a wonderful vacation place to stay.

Beautiful setting to view and listen to the river!

We stayed 2 nights coming from Portland airport. Had a wonderful drive seeing all the beautiful surroundings! The corner of the road you run down to get to the cabin looked a little iffy but there were no problems at all. Neighbors have beautiful flowers and well kept homes. This cabin is spotless and very comfortable and relaxing! Lance called and checked in to make sure everything was going well. We slept incredibly well in the comfortable bed with amazing pillows. Carefully walked down to the rivers edge with the walking sticks at the side on the porch to look for eagles. Didn’t see them hit did see a pair of geese with goslings. I could watch and listen to that river all day long! We found it easy to go to Florence and to the Dunes as well as Heceta Beach and lighthouse from the cabin! Do not miss Heceta Beach! Thank you Lance for the hospitality! Andy and Peggy from Wisconsin

This cabin is a gem. We stayed 3 nights and had the most peaceful weekend. The cabin is very well stocked with everything you might need. The beds were comfortable & the full size washer & dryer was definitely a bonus! The deck overlooking the river was a favorite hang out spot. We even spotted a black bear cub across the river. The owners live on the property & were quick to answer any questions. I would definitely recommend this cabin & would love to visit again.

Lance and Carol are phenomenal hosts. They checked in on us to ensure we had everything we needed and respected our privacy at the same time. They even offered us fresh produce from the farmer's market they attended one day. The property is a perfect place to relax and listen to the river flow while going to bed at night. You will see wildlife, we saw a bear right across the river from us on our first night. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you Lance and Carol for your hospitality!

We loved our stay at this cabin. The location by the river was great. I loved hearing the sound of the rushing river water at night when trying to go to sleep! It was a little difficult to get down to the water, but once we got there it was so beautiful and enjoyable. The house was perfect for our family of three, and the kitchen had everything we needed. I appreciated the washer and dryer because we were on a lengthy trip that required us to do laundry along the way. The owner's house was nearby and they were very courteous and friendly. We would love to stay there again!

Riverside Home

My wife and I rented the home and our adult daughter stayed the last night, since she was driving us to the airport. The 2 bedroom home was clean, functional and worked out well. There are very few rental possibilities in the area. Our three-night stay had minimal issues and if we come back we would consider a repeat stay. The location was wedged in between a former industrial site and an existing site. We heard no noise and it was generally screened from view once on site. The river view was very nice and we saw a bit of wildlife. If you fish, there are nearby locations that locals were using just a short walk from the house. The rental offers outdoor facilities to deal with your catch. The owner was reachable by phone and not intrusive in any way.

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 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

Rejuvenation Retreat

My husband and I love this place. The owners Lance and Carol are SO accommodating! The Cabin is very comfortable and cozy. I love the private balcony facing the river. You can just feel like you are on vacation by sitting outside on the patio listening to the river and watching nature. We love exploring the local area. It's just a magical place. From the river to the ocean to the lakes, there is something for everyone. If you want to crab or fish, they provide a cleaning station and cooking area on the side for you! Trust me you won't be disappointed staying here. We Can't Wait to come back!! Thank You Lance and Carol. You guys are the BEST! sincerely, Myke and Leanne

Rustic cabin on the river

The cabin is dated and could use updating, not as private as I thought it would be. The house sits right on the river so hanging out on the deck was really incredible! The host Lance was very friendly and helpful, if your fishing the river he would be the person to talk to. Overall 3 out of 5
