About this property
Spacious riverfront lodge with beach access, private hot tub & forest views
Summary:
River Bend Lodge
The Space:
The River Bend Lodge certainly lives up to its name - a shady, wooded spot directly across from a waterfall in the Columbia Gorge area better! Rent this Washougal River vacation home and you’ll never want to leave. Oh yeah, and there’s a hot tub.
Builty by hand in 1972, this cabin accommodates up to eight guests comfortably. Enjoy a dramatic, two-story rock fireplace in cooler temps and a furnished deck on warm afternoons.
The lodge is built into the side of a hill, so you'll enter on the upper level, through the carport (that has room for two vehicles). Upon entering, make sure to slip off your shoes as this is a tread-free home. Plus, it’s more relaxing!
Gather on the deck to check in with your friends as the sun sets. Late at night, why not zone out in the media room, with its chaise and 60-inch plasma TV with Blu-ray and streaming Netflix? The chaise sofa also converts into a queen-size bed for those sleeping in this room.
You may prefer to sit quietly by the tall native rock, wood-burning fireplace and gaze out at the panoramic of the waterfall and Washougal River. This vista will surely lure you outdoors, where there’s croquet, a horseshoe pit, and even whitewater rafting and tubing nearby.
In the fully stocked kitchen, you’ll have all the basic tools needed to fix a feast. You’ll even have a Keurig coffeemaker! Check out the propane grill outside - a freshly grilled meal will be delightful to share at the massive hand-hewn black walnut dining table.
After dinner, soak in the luxurious hot tub under an expansive roof and before unobstructed views of the ancient forest and river all year round. Pro tip: warm your spa towels in the dryer beforehand!
On the lower level, you have the master bedroom with a comfortable king-size bed. The adjacent bath has double sinks and tub with rainfall showerhead. A door at the end of the bath leads to the laundry room where you'll find a laundry room, which also has its own exterior door so you won't have to worry about tracking mud and sand through the house.
The surrounding forest is part of a 26-acre family compound that is shared with Eva's Cottage, a getaway for four that can be rented together with River Bend Lodge. Eva's descendants steward the land and maintain the forest with an eye to the enjoyment of future generations. There are four trails that wind through the property, so be sure to bring your hiking boots!
This highly rated and recommended Columbia Gorge vacation rental is a favorite. Find out for yourself the magic you could experience here at the River Bend Lodge!

This property was very nice. Great access to your own little spot on the river where you can swim or float no fishing take a picture of your entrance codes before you get there because there’s no cell service and no Internet until you get hooked up to the Wi-Fi there is a nice little hiking areas around the house and plenty of space for big families

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay, Heath! It sounds like you made the most of the river access, and we love that you found a spot to swim and float. The nearby hiking trails are indeed a great way to explore the beautiful surroundings, and we’re happy to hear the space worked well for your family.
Thanks for the tip about the entrance codes; we appreciate you sharing that insight for future guests. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Washougal soon!
Amazing private section of the river with a small waterfall on the opposite bank! We loved this spot! It felt secluded. Everything we needed for our group of 6! We spent a lot of time at the river skipping rocks, enjoying the sounds of the river, talking and laughing and doing a polar plunge! We ate and played games indoors and enjoyed the hot tub also. Beautiful location!
The house was an absolute dream! We loved every inch of the lodge, the attention to detail and care put into the space made it so welcoming and comfortable. There was so much to admire inside but obviously the beauty outside is what really captured our attention. Such an incredible location, we loved every minute of being there and would love to come back soon!
House was clean and as described. Worked out perfect for the three nights we were there. Beautiful location and close to the washougal MX track. Communication with property management was kind of delayed from the time of booking to check in date. One thing that was frustrating is that I did not receive a house door code for property access until I called property management company an hour after check in time.
This rental property is beautiful and serene. Perfect for unplugging and getting in touch with nature.
