About the host

Hosted by Tarah Long

Host profile image
Hi! I’m Tarah, a lifelong Missourian who fell in love with the beauty and history of Washington, especially the charm of the Missouri River bluff where Raven’s View Retreat now sits. I enjoy restoring historic spaces, exploring the outdoors with my kids and mini Aussie, and sharing meaningful experiences with others. Hosting allows me to welcome guests into a place that brings me so much peace and inspiration — a cozy cabin getaway where you can slow down, reconnect, and make your own memories.

Why they chose this property

About the Area:
Raven’s View Retreat sits high above the Missouri River with peaceful, panoramic views that change with every season. The setting is quiet and secluded, yet just a short drive from the charming river town of Washington — where you’ll find great restaurants, boutique shopping, wineries, and local festivals throughout the year.

What I Love Most:
There’s something special about waking up to birdsong, enjoying coffee on the deck, and feeling like you’re truly away from it all — without being far from anything. I love the blend of nature, history, and small-town warmth here. Guests can explore hiking trails, visit vineyards, or simply unwind by the fire and take in the view. It’s a rare place where adventure and relaxation meet perfectly.

What makes this property unique

This isn’t your typical vacation rental — Raven’s View Retreat is a rare historic log cabin property thoughtfully restored with modern comforts while preserving its 1800s roots. Perched above the Missouri River bluff, it offers a year-round, unobstructed view that feels cinematic from sunrise to sunset. Guests love the private setting: surrounded by nature, yet just minutes from Washington’s wineries, shopping, and restaurants.

Every detail of the space tells a story — hand-hewn logs, cozy nooks, rustic finishes, and outdoor areas designed for gathering under the stars. Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, a peaceful retreat, or a memorable adventure, this place invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and experience something truly one-of-a-kind. It’s the kind of getaway that stays with you long after you leave.
