About this property

Rivers Edge Cottage on the Oregon Coast

This beautiful little cottage is perched on the edge of the Nehalem River just minutes from the ocean. When it's stormy at the coast this location is protected. The expansive deck and windows provide an excellent view of the river and a variety of wildlife including elk, bald eagles, heron, sea lions and of course fishermen. We recently enclosed the front porch providing an additional seating area overlooking the river.

The unit is located in a quiet clean RV park (Nehalem Shores), the pace is slow and the locals are friendly. Enjoy fantastic fishing or kayaking on the river, shopping nearby antique shops, wine tasting or kite flying...beach combing...horse back riding...surfing...Manzanita Beach.

You'll love the comfortable cozy feel of this cottage rain or shine. Laundry services and high speed wi-fi are available. The cottage is just a short drive from Portland but well away from the busy tourist hubbub. A fantastic weekend or vacation getaway spot.

Host experience was great, answered all my questions. Manager Jere was welcoming and helpful. The RV has wonderful views, deck overlooks the river, units on both sides are back from the river slightly so it feels very private. Eagles dipping down catching fish, river otter family swimming upriver. The new public pool is why I chose Nehalem for my week stay. Lots of lap swimming hours available. Definitely an asset to the community. Everyone in town was super friendly. I loved kayaking and sliding up the sand to the fish and chips baked potato food trucks. Weather was dry and warm in spite of it being Early February! Thanks PJ! I hope to return soon.

Great cozy cottage on the river!

Very much enjoyed our stay at "River's Edge Cottage!" Loved watching the tide changes on the Nehalem River from the deck - or from inside on rainy days. The cottage had everything we needed and the bed was comfortable. Close to the ocean and lots to explore in the local communities. Hope to visit again!

Sweet gem on the river

We loved this cozy little place with amazing views right on the river. We were a little worried about booking a stay during one of the coldest times of year but the place was very warm and cozy. Very clean and had everything we needed. Park host was also very helpful when we had a little trouble opening the key box.

Great, quiet, location and home!

I really enjoyed my time here. The location is RIGHT on the river and you rarely hear any noise from neighbors or cars, OR BOATS. The place is perfect for a couple or for a solo-getaway! Sitting on the deck reading, listening to the birds, and water was PERFECT! Very much recommended!

Nice little stay!

Charming little home on the river was a lovely stay for the weekend. The river has a stronger current than expected for us novice kayakers but still fun. Only minor issue was fidgeting with the key lock for check in. The need was super comfy, and shower had great heat and water pressure!

Wonderful base to explore the coast!

We stayed at the cottage for several weeks in June and I wholeheartedly recommend the property for long or short stays. The view of the river is incredible - we saw river otters, seals, herons, and a wide variety of birds - and itā€™s truly special being able to wake up to the river view.The bed is very comfortable, we were able to cook many meals in the kitchen, and the cottage has a variety of places to sit and relax. The sunroom (enclosed porch) is a wonderful addition as it allows you to be close to the outdoors even when itā€™s rainy.Everyone in the area was friendly and the hosts responded quickly to any messages I sent. Thanks for the great stay!

The view was so revitalizing and calming at the same time. The mornings were quiet and misty and the afternoons were sunny. Really nice deck. Well appointed cottage done in good taste. The bald eagle family were good entertainment.

Enjoyable time

This property was very clean, well organized and met our needs perfectly. Everything was provided as promised and just perfect. Just a short drive to the beach, and a very quiet neighborhood (well, except the guy across the street who swore like a sailor, but we just laughed). Lovely setting. Just what we needed!

About the host

Hosted by PJ Swan

Host profile image
We live in Bend, Oregon but dearly love the Oregon Coast and are so thankful to have many good memories with family and friends at the coast. We also enjoy knowing our cottage helps others enjoy the coast and river as well.

Why they chose this property

Living in Bend in the high desert is lovely but the richness of the flora and fauna of the Oregon Coast is a great contrast. We like the small slower pace of the North Coast. Everyone we've met here is very friendly and has a funny story to tell. It's an ideal place to get rejuvenated.

What makes this property unique

We love watching the eagles who nest in a tree across the river from our cottage and of course the herd of elk we often see grazing in the morning and evening. It's also fun to keep an eye out for river otters or sea lions and of course watching the fishermen reel in some big fish is entertaining.
