A Beautiful Stay With a View

We had a lovely stay in this apartment. Excellent communication with the host. It looks like a home on the outside but inside the entry you realize there are multiple units. Our ground floor unit looked like new construction, modern and cozy with a gas fireplace and 2 couches overlooking the Columbia River. A perfect place to relax. The kitchen and bath are well stocked. Our upstairs neighbors were noisy very early unfortunately, but that can happen anywhere. I don’t recommend it if you have small kids as at the front edge of the patio is a sheer drop down. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing views and comfortable home

We loved staying here to explore Astoria and the Mount St. Helens area. The only criticism would be the wifi - it wasn’t great, but the owners were working hard to remedy the situation while we were here and even brought us a signal booster device without us even asking for it.

The heater did not work correctly. The owner kept turning the heat down and it was blowing cold air a lot of the time.

Lovely get away!!

Everything was excellent!! I only gave 3 stars on location because if anyone is planning to be within walking distance of food, etc...it is a little out of the way. However, for us it was perfect! We cooked our meals and enjoyed hanging on the patio arching the sunset. Also we had a great day trip to Mt. St. Helens..so bonus!!

Perfection, just what we needed!

We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite and couldn't be any happier with our stay. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed including shampoo, conditioner and body wash of which all, I forgot to bring so I was very happy when I saw this in the bathroom. The place was very clean and cozy. Had the most incredible views and most beautiful sunset and sunrise. The location was perfect and Judy was a great host. We will definitely be back again.

Great Place to Stay

This was our second time to stay here and just as before we were very pleased with the accommodations. The weather was cooler the days we were there and I appreciated that our host reached out to us to see if we needed a temp adjustment. It really is a great place for us to stay when we visit family in the area.
