We enjoyed our stay on Puget Island. The home was clean and the view is amazing being right on the water. The owners were quick to respond to our questions and needs. We were ISO a paddle boarding spot and happy to find that we could launch a board here at high tide.The only reason for the not giving it 5 stars, the sleeping arrangement was less than desirable as the beds are not walk-around, someone has to shimmy out of bed and the bathroom is a ways away.Overall I would recommend a stay here. Thank you Steven and Betsy for sharing your home with us.

This home was the perfect get away. We had a great time watching the wildlife from the back porch. The raccoons, otters, and many different birds were abundant. The home is nicely equipped with everything a family needs. Mr. And Mrs. Simpson were the nicest hosts we have ever experienced. They went above and beyond to make our stay as amazing as possible. Mr. Simpson shared his knowledge of the best fishing locations with my husband. We hated to head back to Texas but we hope to return in the future.

Repeat renter- I love it!

I have rented this house numerous times, at various times of year. This is my 1st time at veginning of summer. The wildlife right off the deck, on the river, is spectacular. The only sound i heard, other than the very occasional passing car, was the sound of birds. Peaceful!

Loved it!

We absolutely loved our stay at Steve’s Puget Island home! The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfy. The kitchen was super well-stocked with plenty of gear for us to use for our meals. The setting is spectacular and it was so peaceful sitting on the back deck watching the birds and wildlife. We’ll certainly come again.

Amazing Winter Getaway

What a wonderful cozy getaway. The owners have a great feel for what folks are looking for in a getaway as a matter of fact they nailed it. Beautiful views out every window, birds, geese, deer, and elk up in the hills. Can't wait to come back and get some fishing in. This place will not disappoint. Thank you again for a restful and relaxing getaway. The West Family

Elegant craft

Clean and quietly elegant river side cabin feels like home. Every thing one could want or need for kitchen use, laundry or bath. Host is thoughtful and responsive. Great bicycling /walking roads with little traffic. Wonderful view of the slough and river. Calm ambiance as one observes the tidal flow of the river and sky. Close to small town for coffee or groceries or a meal. My small chihuahua settled in comfortably as did we. Great spot.

Beautiful

Loved the beautiful, fully renovated home, from the granite countops and stainless appliances to to amazing water view from the deck. We were mesmerized by the pelicans. We loved every surprise visit from the Osprey who was sitting on her eggs on the property. Every time we turned around - relaxation! Loved it! It was just what we needed! And Puget Island is lovely and the people are so friendly.

Quiet vacation spot and helpful owner

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and we would love to stay there again. The interior of the house looks like it was recently remodeled, and it is clean & tastefully decorated. The views across the water are beautiful. The owner responded quickly to my questions, and even offered to come by and visit with us to answer our questions about fishing and crabbing in the area since he is a long time fisherman on the Columbia River. When he came by to visit, he had just arrived back in the states from an international trip, and I know he had to be exhausted, but he took time to greet our dog, and provide some excellent fishing and crabbing advice. Thank you, Steve, for making our vacation a great one.

This home is perfect for nature lovers, and those who want a quiet getaway. We enjoyed 8 days of bicycling, kayaking and boating. The home is situated right on a slough on the Columbia River and the views are superb. Hosts Steve and Betsy are welcoming, and provide everything one would want for a comfortable, memorable stay. The home is incredibly clean and well-appointed. We will be back!

House was comfortable and just as advertised. Quiet, clean and homey. The kitchen was nicely stocked and there were little thoughtful extras about. Just one heads-up: The beds were comfortable, but due the size of the bedrooms, they are arranged against a wall, potentially making it awkward or difficult for the inside sleeper to get in and out.

The house is even prettier than the pictures, with striking views of the river and mountains beyond. We arrived to a fridge filled with the best smoked salmon I've ever tasted as well as homemade goose sausage (yum!). The house was spotless and there was a vase of fresh flowers in the living room. Check in was effortless and all instructions were in a binder for us.

Deam Vacation

This is the place you have dreamed of! This place offers everything you may ever need while on a vacation. It also gives you pure, uninterrupted peace and solitude. It places you in a mindset that is pure relaxation. You can unwind, listen to birds and the water, and watch the enormous boats on the river. The place is immaculately clean and furnished beyond anything you may require. The hosts are the very best people to meet and talk with. They offer so much helpful information on anything you want to do or see. I highly recommend this with a 10-star rating. Our family stayed for 8 days. We will be back at this property again. No other choice is required after having the very best. Thank you to our wonderful hosts for the very best vacation. Our family has made the best memories that will last forever. See you next year
