About this property

Cozy River Cottage on the Oregon Coast

Enjoy the Oregon Coast rain or shine from this sweet spot on the Nehalem River. The cottage is located in a quiet clean RV park (Nehalem Shores) just a few minutes from good food, shopping and the beach. Great fishing on the river out your front door with the villages of Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler are nearby. The cottage is clean, light and bright with lots of windows so you can enjoy the river view and all the wildlife that goes alone with it (elk, sea lions, bald eagles and more). It's a great place to come home to after a day at the beach or a great spot to spend the day reading, relaxing and enjoying the river view. When the weather is rough at the beach our place is protected by trees. Enjoy fantastic fishing, paddle boarding or kayaking on the river, shopping nearby antique shops, wine tasting or kite flying...beachcombing...horse back riding...surfing...at Manzanita Beach. You'll love the cozy feel of this sweet little cottage along with the river and wildlife viewing from the front porch. Hi speed internet and cable TV provided, there's laundry facilities just a few steps from the front door and the locals are super friendly. All this just a short drive from Portland but well away from the busy tourist hubub. Great vacation spot and an excellent value!

Quiet Riverside cottage

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage is right next the the river in a quiet area just outside Nehalem. It was the perfect place to stay and explore the Oregon coast.

Paradise on the river

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the views and eating breakfast on the front porch. The neighbors were all very friendly and the location was perfect for day adventures to neighboring towns, especially Manzanita and Cannon Beach. I’d highly recommend this cabin!

Beautiful cottage

Lovely little cottage right next to the river. It does have neighbors pretty close to it, but everyone is very kind. Really close to a downtown that has a few shops and a small market. Would definitely recommend going and will come back to visit one day!

Beautiful river

I enjoyed my stay at this place very much. The riverside location was peaceful and beautiful. The house was comfortable and clean. The only small complaint I have is there was not enough hot water for a decent shower.

LOVED IT

We absolutely loved our stay. It was clean, quiet and very relaxing. We stayed for a week and have no complaints. The neighbors in the park were very welcoming and very nice people. I’ve never felt more comfortable in a place I have stayed at for a vacation. The area is wonderful. The places to eat around were very good. Spent most the time exploring and down at the beaches. I would recommend this listing to anyone. Will definitely stay again.

Very quiet. VERY small.

We enjoyed our time, and the accommodations were precisely as advertised. But the perforce brevity of the hot showers and the extremely small space were not features favorable to the likeliness of our return.

Perfect!

We could not have asked for more. The beauty of the surroundings was stunning, and our little cabin by the river was perfect. To add to the experience the people there were so wonderful and welcoming. Peggy and Rick even had a camp fire for us to gather around the night before we left. On the way back we both agreed it was now the only place on the coast we wanted to go!

I was not happy when I got there and nothing was clean . ,I didn't go on vacation to have to make the bed and clean the bathroom. Also , went to take a shower 🚿 and no clean towels. Once we got the place cleaned and towels ,it was perfect . I would stay here again .

Quiet Oasis

The perfect place for a quiet weekend away. The bed was comfortable. We did not use the kitchen much as we ate out or had a very simple dinner. It seemed the basics were available. The place is small but perfect for two. There was some confusion on the hot water but that did get answered eventually. The bath house just a short walk away was easily available and had a nice hot shower. If you are looking for a quiet weekend away with easy access to the ocean area, this is your place.

Charming Cabin

The cabin is lovely as the community where it is located. It was so relaxing to and watch The river move in and out with the tides. Upon arrival we were greeted with a giant rainbow. The cabin had everything we needed to cook good meals and have great sleep. We had a bit of a problem getting the lockbox open to get the key, but the neighbor stepped forward with a trusty screwdriver and got it open for us. We loved to be able to drive 10 minutes and watch the sunset. It is very special to have the river and the ocean in close proximity. Thank you for a wonderful and inspiring holiday.

About the host

Hosted by PJ Swan

Host profile image
I grew up in Oregon and my husband is a transplant from New England. We both love the Oregon Coast with all the beautiful beaches, parks and hiking. It's a great place to go for a few days to relax, explore and generally enjoy our beautiful state. This photo is us taking a break from playing at Manzanita Beach.

Why they chose this property

We live in the high desert of Central Oregon where the sun shines a lot and we get very little rain. Driving over the mountains to the lush green coast feels delicious. We love how the cottage is protected from coastal winds when it's stormy and the quiet is such a treat compared to busy towns like Cannon Beach, Seaside and Lincoln City. The dogs love the beach too.

What makes this property unique

One of our favorite things to have a fire on Manzanita beach as the sun sets. It's a relaxing way to end the day after kayaking, biking, shopping or whatever. We have a fire pit by the cottage too if the beach is too busy.
