About this property

Astoria's premier suite on the Columbia River.

Located on upper level of the historic Pier 14 Pilot Station (still operated by the Columbia River Pilots) the Pilot House is an elegantly appointed luxury suite in the heart of Astoria's historic waterfront. Surrounded by water, nearly every room offers a panoramic view of the Columbia River. The dock is a 24 hour working dock, with pilots and pilot boat coming and going. (There is noise from pilot boat starting and pilots coming and going all night)

The 1700 square foot unit has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths with 4 gas fireplaces. The spacious living room has leather furniture with a queen-size sofa bed. There is a fully stocked kitchen with a dining room that can seat 6 people. The master bedroom suite has a king size bed, full bathroom with Jacuzzi bathtub and shower with a private deck off to the river.
The Pilot House has the warmth and feel of a home with high-end features of a four-star hotel. The building was restored in 2005 and is listed on the National Historic Register of Historic places. Inside you will find museum quality maritime artifacts throughout.
Astoria is the perfect getaway for any interest... history, outdoor adventure, or maritime activity. The Pilot House is within walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and many local attractions. Both the 5-mile river walk and trolley line run right outside the door.

Our group of 3 couples had such a good time at this VRBO! The views were outstanding from every window, and we all enjoyed watching the large ships come and go. Being able to walk to everything so easily was wonderful—do not miss the Maritime Museum! The beds were comfy and we all slept well. The house itself had everything we needed and was decorated with unique maritime antiques. If you have a chance to rent this property-do it! It is a memory-making experience.

This was one of the most unique VRBOs that we have rented. That said it was the most expensive VRBO we have ever rented. The location is incredible. To be right on the river watching the ship traffic was wonderful. The proximity to the downtown restaurant / brewery scene was awesome. The beds were very comfortable. And the kitchen was nicely appointed. I absolutely loved looking at the nautical artifacts. We are hoping to come back someday.

This is our third stay at the Pilot House. We keep coming back because of the setting and location within Astoria. I never get tired of looking out over the Columbia River and all the activity that takes place on it. It’s a bonus to watch the pilot boat take off to one of the vessels that enter the river. We’ll be back.

We have stayed here for several years. The six of us love it, especially the two kids--they love to watch the big ships come in and out and the pilot boats going to meet them. The check in process is easy and the kitchen is fine.

This is a very special place. The setting at the end of the pier, with the river on 3 sides, is absolutely perfect. Coffee on the deck with the sun rising over the water will linger for a long time! Plenty of room for everyone, well appointed bedrooms, a well stocked kitchen. You are steps away from all that downtown Astoria has to offer. A very memorable trip; hope to return next year!

Beautiful Spot in the Heart of Downtown

We had a great time during our stay. The views are incredible, the pilot house was incredibly spacious and walking distance to so many fun things. I would 100% book this again if I were planning another trip to Astoria.

We came back

This place is fantastic. This was the second time I have stayed there. Both times the place was spotless clean. Great restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. Beautiful views of the river and a very responsive host. We had one misunderstanding about how the showers work but that was on us not the host. I will keep coming back.

Annual Gals week

Endlessly interesting to watch the shipping and pilot boat activities just outside every window. The secure parking was great so there was no worry about the cars, and the walkability to bakeries, top notch restaurants and many attractions was like a mini-European vacation. Urban, yet surrounded by natural beauty. The rooms were private and very quiet for peaceful sleeping. The beds were very comfortable. Would love to stay again.

What makes this property unique

The property is on the National Historic Register. Built in 1904 by the Callender Navigation Company for the headquarters for their tug and barge business. Also, Pier 14 served as the terminus of the Megler Ferry which made the crossing to and from Washington.

The long history in the maritime industry continues today as the communication center and pilot boat launch for the Columbia River Pilots. The Pilot House gives you a front row seat to viewing pilots boarding and disembarking from the passing ships.
