river sounds

The sound of running water is so relaxing at this home. Shut the windows and doors and it closes out all outside noise. We spent time visiting family and did not leave the backyard and view of river often. Inside is everything you need for a long stay or short visit. Furnishings and appliances all quality in good working order. Two tvs a plus for a varied taste in viewing.. Only regret is path to river is not oldster friendly.

Great property on river!

I had a great trip. The house was beautiful, the scenery was more beautiful and the convenience of riding bikes from the house was too good to be true. But It was! Thanks for sharing!

So many little extras!

The cottage was very clean and although it’s an odd layout, it had everything we needed for our nearly week long stay. Beds were super comfy. Julie also had every little extra we could think of and everything was in its place. Highly recommend for a stay in Oakland or Westfir.

About the Cottage:

Feel free to inquire about special offers for stays outside the VRBO pricing calendar. We prioritize comfort, offering plush chairs for relaxing movie nights, a convenient dishwasher, and a luxurious bathtub for a soothing soak – features we believe you'll appreciate. Check out our pictures to see our dedication to comfort.

The River Cottage holds a rich history as the first privately owned home in Westfir, constructed by Harry in the 1920s. As a saw filer for Westfir Lumber Company, Harry meticulously handpicked the best lumber to build most of the house himself. When modernizing with new windows, workers marveled at the precision of Harry's craftsmanship. Harry and Mildred weathered the Depression, raised two children in this small home. Their son James, the first family member to attend college, later returned to Westfir, eventually becoming the mill manager.

Our own cherished memories include watching bikers and motorcyclists pass by from the front porch. The cottage has been a beloved retreat for our family, and we hope it becomes one for yours too. Julie
