River Bend Lodge

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!

We didn't want to leave!
This home is nestled into a beautiful wooded area along the Washsougal River. It was so peaceful and relaxing that we could have stayed another week or two. The log cabin is spacious and quaint. It provided everything we needed from a stocked kitchen, comfy beds, plenty of towels and chairs for hanging riverside. I enjoyed running along the winding roads that provided gorgeous views. We would love to come back and stay here again. We didn't want to leave!

The Best Getaway in YEARS!!
I highly recommend this home. It was just far enough out but close enough to run into the stores as well. The internet was slow and we loved every minute of that. We played games, did puzzles, cooked amazing meals, drank adult drinks, fished, walked trails, read books, relaxed in the hot tub, sat on the upper balcony watched the river go by, enjoyed the warmth and crackling of the fire, and slept like a baby. It was the PERFECT fall break that was so desperately needed.

Raging river
Start was not so great check in at 4pm but when we got there cleaning person was still there and not done until 515pm. We had a rainy weekend, but it was super relaxing just sitting by fire in the beautiful fireplace watching the raging river through the big windows was awesome. House is nice, all they need to do is update the downstairs bathroom. Hot tub perfect and clean. We tried to hike the private hiking trail that is on the property, but it was deep under water. Plan on coming back for sure to see how it is in summer.

Beautiful home! And Even more beautiful nature and swimming hole outside. I would liked to have seen more of the floor plan in a blue print style to help with planning. We would have packed a little differently for carting things up and down the stairs .

The home was perfect! We had family come in out of town and they had never been to the PNW area. It was the perfect experience for them! They had space, views, trails throughout the property and the river. It was perfect!

Amazing setting, house needs some love
10+++ for the setting. It was magical. We saw deer eating right outside our window on our last night. We got to enjoy listening to the river flow by while eating breakfast outside. The hikes around the property were fun and the setting looked like a Thomas Kinkade painting. It was too cold to do more than dip our toes in the river but the beach would be fun during the warmer times. The house needs some love. The railings for most of the banisters are loose. A safety hazard for kids. The heater wouldn’t work and we had to have a HVAC tech come out to fix it and the directions were lacking when we tried to adjust it ourselves (the literature says there is one thermostat but there are actually 3). One of the remote controls for a fan/light in the living room obviously hasn’t worked in quite awhile leaving the fan to permanently run and no ability to use the light. We were confused on the check out time because the booking said 10 but all the literature left with the directions says that check out is 11. The awning for the top bedroom deck didn’t work. All that being said don’t be afraid to book this home. The setting more than males up for any of the other things that need a little love.

Wonderful Property
Had a wonderful stay at this secluded property, it was everything we could have wanted. Great house with everything provided you need Including river floaties. Excellent location, appreciated the privacy, views, and amenities, FYI that sun is on the private beach earlier in the day. :) We had an 8 month old with us, and the house was mainly tile floors, hard on her pampered Little knees used to carpet But otherwise it was the perfect place to escape. We already plan to come back again!

Great location and design; major logistical problems
We were given the wrong code to get past the gate and no code to get into the house. So we figure.....call the contact number. But there is no phone service in the area. If we just didn't luckily run into a person there to work on the property, who knows how long it would have taken to get in? When you spend this much on a place, this should not happen. Also the dishwasher did not work, the hot tub was refilled at the time we came so we never got to use it (hadn't warmed up) and 2 of 3 TVs could not connect to Netflix, which is the only TV connection available.
