Stayed Apr 13, 2026We enjoyed our stay at The Pilot House on the Columbia River. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds comfortable, and the location was perfect! We had two cars so we appreciated the extra parking. The home had plenty of room for three couples. Highly recommend!

Stayed Jan 6, 2026If I could give 10 stars to this place, I would give it… It was everything as advertised plus more for comfort and class and outstanding facilities for our use. Since it rained a lot, we enjoyed having the huge windows that we could view the activities on the river outside, and we loved having the fireplaces in each bedroom. It was classy, clean, friendly house, and made our trip to Astoria, so very enjoyable. I’m afraid that we’re going to be spoiled to comparing this with places in the future and they’re not gonna add up. Thank you for being such a blessing to our family on this trip.

Stayed Sep 24, 2025This was a lovely place and is well represented by the website description. We were in town to attend my daughter’s wedding. The location could not have been more perfect, close to everything! Two things truly set this apart. First, it is beautiful. Polished wood throughout, reminiscent it’s namesake, The Pilot House. Second, the view is incredible. There is a panoramic view of the the Columbia River, and its workings, as well as the mountains and bridges. The actual Pilot boats (we never heard them) dock there and were fascinating to watch (especially after learning about them at the Maritime Museum). The kitchen was well stocked and the beds quite comfortable. Everyone that stayed with us was very pleased. And our other friends, were just jealous!

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.

Stayed Sep 12, 2025This 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.

Stayed Sep 4, 2025This 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.

Stayed Aug 22, 2025This 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!

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.

Stayed Nov 23, 2024The rental looked great online and was actually even better in person! We loved the views and watching the ships come in. We stayed over Thanksgiving so I cooked a lot and the kitchen was sufficiently equipped and worked great. The location was also convenient for walks on the waterfront and walking into town for restaurants and shopping. There were some other comments regarding the noise from the pilot boats and we did not find it to be a problem at all. The only time we were woken was from the foghorns, but we all appreciated the novelty of that and nobody was bothered at all. We even enjoyed listening to the sea lions nearby! My only suggestion for improvement would be to upgrade the WiFi, as the WiFi was weak and cellular reception wasn't great either so checking in on work was a challenge. I highly recommend and look forward to returning!

Stayed Sep 5, 2024This was our second visit to the property. The views are sublime, the mood of the water changes constantly and there is continuous action as pilot boats, ships and pleasure craft cruise past. There were 6 of us plus a 30 month old child. We cooked in every night for greater sociability than going to a restaurant. It was like being home but it was a vacation. You will not be disappointed here.
