Blue Heron Sanctuary · Private Riverfront Cottage Retreat

Super easy check in. Cool unique place. Beautiful area

I loved the music theme and the view

Kristin was very helpful and accommodating. Thank you.

Quiet and Serene Riverside Retreat!We had such a relaxing stay here. From the moment we walked in, the vibes were perfect - the hosts even had music playing for our arrival, which was such a thoughtful, welcoming touch.The space was immaculately clean and managed to feel very private and tucked away, even though the hosts live on the property. Speaking of the hosts, their communication was top-notch, they were so kind and attentive before, during, and after our trip.Highlights:The Setting: It is incredibly peaceful. We spent so much time just sitting outside and chilling by the water.Birdwatching: If you like nature, you’ll love it here. There are birds everywhere! It was fascinating to see the Great Blue Heron displays and then spot them out on the river.The View: The photos don't even do justice to how serene the river looks, especially on a clear day.If you’re looking for a quiet, clean, and soulful place to recharge, this is it. We’d definitely stay here again!

Excellent spot; excellent host!

The host (Kristin) was absolutely amazing!! My parents showed up early, and Kristin was there to let them in early and show them everything about the house. My parents then suffered an emergency with their dog and Kristin was extremely accommodating... going way above and beyond! I cannot praise Kristin enough! I would recommend this VRBO to everyone!

Our stay was short, but lovely. It's a very cute place and well planned out. We enjoyed the music and thoughtful little notes here and there...and I didn't even know there were so many ways to potentially make coffee. Lol. It was very comfortable and quiet. I would stay again.

Great trail out of the Blue Heron sanctuary which leads to the water. Next to that trail, is a trail up to the shops. The street is also a nice option. The hosts were fabulous. The river is relaxing. Highly recommend.

Overall, a very nice little place. Was much smaller than it appeared on the listing and a bit cramped with all the furniture in it, yet it met all of our needs for staying while we explored Oregon. The Blue Heron sanctuary was quite fascinating to listen to and we enjoyed hearing & watching the Eagle as well :) A lovely area! Communication with the owner was prompt and thorough and they even left us some information about the various areas we could explore being in Oregon for the first time. :)

Loved the location. Pet Friendly. Bed was comfortable.

The hosts home is directly next door and was so glad it was. If we needed anything reasonable they would have been there for us and made it gently known they were focused on making our stay comforting and well addressed. Absolutely will rebook in the future

Friendly and personal, quirky and fun, and a host who is accommodating and immediately responsive, and a super nice person, too! This was a great experience for us, and will be again!

The space was tight but it was good for two people. Nice that the bedroom had a door. The pull out bed from the couch was terrible. The views were wonderful but a little sketchy going down closer to the water.

Overall great experience. The until is smaller than expected and the two chairs meant for the desk were a bit wobbly and unsteady. Really wonderful backyard with views of the river and very welcoming for my dog-thoughtful treats left as well as convenient dog bowls. The location was incredible-beautiful path through the woods, and convenient to grocery store, pet store, and other services. Host was accessible and responsive.

The cottage is magical and exactly what we needed! Nestled in a beautiful neighborhood it is a serene getaway with everything you need to get away from it all. Kristin provided us with all the water toys we needed to spend a day on the river and even made sure they were gently cleared of spiders for my friend. She even loaned us a cooler for the board. The house itself is well appointed and comfortable. The warmth and care that Kristin brought really put our experience over the top to a beautiful vacation.
