Surrounded by water, nearly every room offers a panoramic view of the Columbia River. The dock is a 24 hour working dock, with pilots and pilot boat coming and going.

Inside you will find museum quality maritime artifacts throughout. Astoria is the perfect getaway for any interest... history, outdoor adventure, or maritime activity.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful and very clean, and it was relaxing to sit back and watch the ship traffic from our front row seat. I thought the stairs might be an issue for older parents, but hand rails on both sides really helped. Teresa was very easy to get ahold of, and communication was great. Hope to be back again!
My dad, brother and I stayed here for a weekend and loved it. Really beautiful place with an amazing view of the Columbia, ships, sea lions and the town. Perfect location to be able to explore Astoria on foot. Will definitely try to come back one day.
We loved the house and the views! We could've looked out those windows all day. The house was clean and cozy and inviting. Beds were very comfortable. Would love to come again!
A few days to appreciate the Columbia and Astoria.
This our second stay at the Pilot House, was as engaging and relaxing as it could be.Time to appreciate the culture and history of the ship traffic right where it happens.I look forward too our next stay.
Even better than the pictures. Stunning view, beautiful rooms, and centrally located for walking to all Astoria’s popular destinations. Unique, special and everything you could possibly need,
Unique property in the middle of downtown Astoria with unfiltered views of Columbia river & ship traffic. Learn about the shipping & building history from the friendly pilot boat operators in the same building.
The Pilot House provided an ideal spot—with stunning weather a bonus—for our book group to consider the titles we would be reading for the upcoming year. The space is comfortable and beautifully appointed, warm and inviting. All eight of us felt sad to leave and hopeful that we would be able to return to the charming town of Astoria with its eye on the future as it honors the past.
If you are considering this property, book it! Amazing views, beautiful house, everything you could ask for. My family especially loved watching the pilot boats guide the larger ships from the dining room windows.
This is a unique property that sits right over the mighty Columbia River. The view is unmatched, and the accommodations are thoughtfully appointed. The space is comfortable, works well for a small group of guests, and is a quick one-block walk to the heart of downtown Astoria. Celebrated my 50th here, and came back this week for my husband's 60th. Lots of wonderful memories here!
The rental looked great online and was actually even better in person! We loved the views and watching the ships come in. We stayed over Thanksgiving so I cooked a lot and the kitchen was sufficiently equipped and worked great. The location was also convenient for walks on the waterfront and walking into town for restaurants and shopping. There were some other comments regarding the noise from the pilot boats and we did not find it to be a problem at all. The only time we were woken was from the foghorns, but we all appreciated the novelty of that and nobody was bothered at all. We even enjoyed listening to the sea lions nearby!
My only suggestion for improvement would be to upgrade the WiFi, as the WiFi was weak and cellular reception wasn't great either so checking in on work was a challenge.
I highly recommend and look forward to returning!
A quick two night stay in one of the more unique places in Astoria and on the planet.
I am a devoted can of the Columbia River diversity and the Pilots excellent jobs.
I loved being at the window to watch.
Fabulous location!!! The four of us thoroughly enjoyed the view of the Columbia River and the activities of the pilot boats and the freighters. So entertaining!! Beautiful, clean and comfortable accommodations. Easy access to downtown. Perfect three night stay in Astoria.
Oh my gosh, I love this house. It was right on the water loved loved watching the boats loved being able to see the sunrise and the sunset on the water loved seeing the fog come in. the house itself was beautiful, spotless, big, roomy, great great bathrooms. The location was outstanding. We walked to the movies we walked to get breakfast and lunch to go out for afternoon drink. It was a fantastic time. I really really enjoyed it and so did my family. Thank you for hosting us.
Beautiful location! Watching the ships, sea lions and water fowl - wonderful! Within walking distance to shopping and dining. Cannot wait to come back

What makes this property unique
The property is on the National Historic Register. Built in 1904 by the Callender Navigation Company for the headquarters for their tug and barge business. Also, Pier 14 served as the terminus of the Megler Ferry which made the crossing to and from Washington.
The long history in the maritime industry continues today as the communication center and pilot boat launch for the Columbia River Pilots. The Pilot House gives you a front row seat to viewing pilots boarding and disembarking from the passing ships.
