Notes from the host
Riverscape
Welcome to Riverscape!
You'll have a great time at this secluded riverfront property in the Yacolt Burn State Forest, perfect for family vacations, romantic getaways, a workation, or weekend with the guys/gals!
Riverscape is located on 0.67 acres, set far back from the road and next to the Washougal River. Beautiful Dougan Falls, Naked Falls and Reeder Falls are a few minutes drive away!
The wrap-around deck provides a covered area for outdoor dining (propane BBQ grill provided) and a sitting area which includes a propane gas fire pit table and propane outdoor heater.
Relax under the stars in the 6-person hot tub that overlooks the Washougal River.
A circular stone fire pit is located on the property, perfect for toasting marshmallows or hot dogs. Roasting sticks and wood are provided.
Enjoy watching a variety of birds that frequent the trees and hanging birdfeeders placed around the home. We even have 3 bald eagles that often make appearances!
AMENITIES:
Starlink high-speed internet available throughout the property via a mesh Wi-Fi network.
There is a computer work station equipped with two 27-inch monitors, a choice of two HP docking stations, keyboard and a mouse with wrist pad.
Each bedroom has a television with Roku streaming services. Sign-in with your personal account to watch Netflix, Prime, Disney+, etc.
Each bedroom has an AC unit, during the summer months.
Every bed is prepared with luxury 800 thread count cotton sateen sheet sets, 100% Natural Talalay Latex pillows (hypoallergenic even for guests with a latex allergy!) and down-alternative duvets.
Landline telephone available for domestic and emergency calls. Cell phones work using Wi-Fi calling (Verizon is the only network I have seen that has been able to make and receive phone calls on the property using cellular data).
DOG OWNERS (2 max):
Dogs are absolutely welcome at Riverscape! The lot is fully fenced; bed, treats and waste bags are provided. The pet fee is $75 for up to a 7-day stay. Since VRBO does not yet provide variable fee settings, the fee will will be manually adjusted up to an amount of $300, for 29 day stay. *NOTE* Pets must not be left alone in the house for any amount of time during your stay.
There is no fee for service animals; documentation must be provided to the host upon booking. Emotional support animals do not qualify for a fee waiver.
RIVER ACCESS: There is no river access at this property, but Dougan Falls and Naked Falls are just up the road and have delightful swimming holes.
FISHING: There is no fishing from the property as it is one mile upriver from the hatchery, which is a designated spawning area. Fishing is allowed downriver from the hatchery with the appropriate license.
Riverscape is accessible by car, located about an hour's drive from Portland/Vancouver. Parking is on site for up to 4 vehicles, including a designated spot for Level 1 EV charging.
Washougal and Camas are a 30 minute drive each way, so it is highly recommended to do grocery shopping for your stay before you get to the house. There is a local general store, Washougal River Mercantile, located 7 miles from the house for anything you forget. They also have a surprisingly good wine section!
I am available 24/7 for any questions, concerns, or recommendations! Just message me through the VRBO app.
