Exquisite Forested Retreat, Pet Friendly, Huge Patio w/ Fire-Table and TV, Steps From Dockside
Nestled atop the slopes above the Tualatin River resides one of the more unique and special escapes the region has to offer. Please note this location sits on a piece of property where there is another two bedroom retreat (The Cedars at Rivers Edge), a long term residence, and even a small business office above. While any of the locations you stay at, your privacy is completely respected, however there may be other activity in the area including at the incredible shared areas such as the oversized hanging iron fire-pit or the meandering stairs leading to the property's Tualatin River dock. Due to the geographical setting, we do ask that there are not kids under 12 as the drop-off to the river below could be quite hazardous for kiddos.
Marv's Place is a fantastic one bedroom retreat. Every aspect has been renovated, upgraded, and furnished to create that perfect blend of comfort and style. One epic feature is the 275 square foot outdoor covered patio / living space. It boasts an enormous fire table and outdoor seating. The huge TV is perfect for streaming while taking in the sights and sounds of this incredible property. There is also a built in BBQ for all your grilling desires.
Back inside, you'll find a fully stocked kitchen and cozy living area. The bedroom area has a TV as well when you are ready to wind down the day. After a night of restful sleep, take your time and relax and recharge in the huge bathroom with walk-in shower. The washer and dryer is there as well if you need.
As you will see in the center of the courtyard area, sits a large fire-pit, which is a shared community space with the other two bedroom guest home. The entire space is surrounded by trees and the Tualatin River sits just a short walk beyond and down the ramp to the floating dock. Also as we mentioned earlier there is a small office above Marv's Place so people may come and go throughout the day. There is ample parking available for guests on the property as well. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all.

Lovely
A girls weekend away was delightful at Marv’s Place. The setting was serene and the unit was perfect. Clean and comfortable. After golf and wine tasting (all close by), we spent a lot of time on the patio and loved hearing the sound of the river below. Great location!
We had a magical time staying here for our honeymoon. The atmosphere was serene and beautiful, the amenities were fantastic. There is a business on the upper floor of the building, so that had to be kept in mind during the day. The hosts were so kind, welcoming, and accommodating. It all added up to a perfect stay!
Relaxing and serene location. Met Tim, the proprietor, on the day of check in. Extremely personable as well as making himself available if any needs arose. Would definitely stay again.
We came to celebrate His mom’s 89th birthday. This was the perfect getaway at the end of each day to rest and regroup. We loved the space and it had everything we could have wanted including ambiance. The area is quiet and serene.
The property is very relaxing I’m a great location convenient to everywhere I needed to go. Accommodations were clean and well thought out with a good amount of outdoor space. The grill area is awesome due to the rainy climate. It gives the opportunity to cookout and stay dry
Very friendly owners, available for any questions or needs. The property is absolutely gorgeous. It was so relaxing sitting out on the porch, drinking coffee on a cool morning with the fireplace keeping us toasty, and hearing the river below. The rental was beautiful inside, clean and well appointed. West Linn is a fun little town nearby with lovely little restaurants and shops.

Above and beyond!
We had such a delightful stay that I wish there was more than 5 stars! Tim & Jen and their family were beyond fabulous and truly took care of every possible need- Top notch amenities and fabulous hosts- can’t wait to return!
The best place to stay for the best blend of nature and convenience.
We wanted to stay where nature surrounds us and at the same time we wanted the convenience of having access to stores like trader joes and target. This property checked every single box we wanted and on top of that, the host went out of their way to accommodate us with the coordination of the management company. Thank you so much for the wonderful time, I would recommend this property to anyone traveling to oregon. We had the greatest time ever! Didnt mind the noises one bit.
We enjoyed a great weekend at Marv’s place! It was well stocked, super clean and very comfortable. We loved the outdoor area where we could just sit back, relax and enjoy the firepit and fresh air! The homeowner was nearby and couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating! We will be back.
Jen and Tim have an amazing place here, nestled in the trees, on the bank of the river. The place is clean and modern and comfortable, and includes the best outdoor seating with TV, bbq, and gas fire. We will surely be back!

More than I expected...
I will definitely stay there again. The setting is beautiful, the home is exceptional and very private. Like a retreat for me. Much needed. I will be back next year!
We really enjoyed this VRBO! The communication was great from the time I booked the reservation. Tim was an amazing host and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay. The facilities were perfectly adequate for our needs, and we used them all. I was there for a culinary chef’s trip, and we were able to successfully prep many of our catering items, right on site, including the patio grill. Everything was absolutely wonderful. I hope to return with the kids, and book this one again.

Beautiful Getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at Marv's place. The property is beautiful and so relaxing. The hosts thought of so many details (Full kitchen, indoor and outdoor blankets, games, hygiene items)! Downtown Portland is only 25 minutes away, and there are various wineries within 40 minutes. Our one complaint is that there was not a door or any sort of cover for the bathroom, which made things a bit uncomfortable. We did mention this to the owners, and if a door is added to the bathroom, I could see us staying here at least once a year.
