Serene Cottage in the Woods

Perfectly located! Not far up Rose Valley Rd. Secluded park-like setting surrounded by trees on 1.2 acres. A spacious, sunny living room and kitchen will be the perfect setting to spend quality time with your loved ones. All bedrooms are equipped with super comfy beds for a refreshing sleep and a great start of the day.

Unprecedented privacy, great views, wildlife activity and lots of interesting sightseeings to explore are some of the few highlights that will make your stay unforgettable!
The space
The idyllic setting and the warmth of the cottage is what makes this quaint, beautiful retreat a perfect escape destination for honeymooners, families and nature lovers. Here you will be able to escape from it all and make great memories that will last for the rest of your life!

Walking in, you have the living room straight ahead, and to the right, the stairs to the rooms upstairs and past that a Water Closet (commode and sink) and then the laundry room with a door to the carport.

Ahead you will find a spacious living room with 2 comfortable couches and a multi-function coffee table. Next to the window is a dedicated office space & relaxing leather chair with an amazing view of the hot tub and outside scenery. To the right is the Master bedroom, featuring a King-sized bed, walk in closet and full private bathroom. To the left is the fully equipped kitchen which includes all new stainless steel appliances. For coffee lovers there is a well-stocked Keurig and for the extreme coffee aficionado, an expresso machine. Windows above the sink provides a great view of the field, often populated by rabits and birds. You will enjoy preparing meals for you and your loved ones.

On the second floor you will find 2 rooms and a bathroom with shower between. One room features a queen-sized bed and the other offering bunk beds.

A Spacious terrace with a table, chairs and umbrella with a fabulous view of a park-like setting, perfect spot for bbq & drinks. What better way to start your day than sipping on your morning latte on the elevated deck watching humming birds, rabbits, owls, deer or even elk.

Although Interstat-5 is only a couple miles away from this near paradise, one can rarely hear any road noise. With the unparalleled privacy, you, your lover and/or friends can enjoy the hot tub unperturbed, or bring the kids where they can use their extreme outdoor voices. You may even wish to have a small gathering, all without the guilt of disturbing a neighborhood.

This is truly a cottage in the woods. For being no more than 10 minutes to 2 fully modern suburban towns, it offers unprecedented privacy. The surrounding nature offers unforgettable starlit sky views and you will be able to enjoy wildlife activity like deer, rabbits, hummingbirds and much more.

Prescott Beach and Trojan county parks are easily reachable within a few minutes. There you will easily find many interesting activities for you and your friends or family to enjoy: Fishing, kite-surfing, boating, picnicking, bbq-ing and much more.

Here are some of the highlights in the area:

Just what the Dr ordered.
Conveniently located on the Washington side of the Columbia River. Only 30 minutes to Vancouver/Portland area and about an hour to places like Multnomah Falls or Mt St Helens. Property is large with long driveway that circles the house. Lots of privacy. Multiple outdoor loung areas, sports field with horseshoes, fire pits and deck with BBQ/Hot tub. Mama deer visited daily with her 2 baby doe’s in tow. The kids loved making s’mores and we even saw a shooting star. Inside the 3Bedrooms & 2.5 Bath was plenty of room and kitchen had everything you need. We like to eat out so thankfully there’s tons of great breakfast places only 10 minutes away in Longview. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Great stay in the country
Everything was ready. The kitchen was well equipped and stocked, the bedrooms were comfortable, and the bathrooms very clean. As we come from a rural area, we appreciated the quiet at night. A good choice.

Serene cottage in the woods will not disappoint!
The location for this property is very accessible, just down Rose Valley Road and the grounds are beautiful. We saw several deer on the property and hummingbirds at the feeders in the wrap around deck. The house was a very comfortable stay, the property manager was very easy to communicate with and I would recommend it to friends and family.

The cottage was very well equipped with anything and everything you could need except for a can opener. But we made do. Spring, summer and fall would be a perfect time to visit here to be able to use all the amenities the cottage has to offer. The cottage is great for families or adult get togethers lots of things to do outside for young and old.

Cute Secluded Home
We had family to visit in Longview, WA and this property was just perfect. Close to town, yet secluded in the woods. We loved the privacy and no neighbors feel. The owner was accommodating with our requests and the personal touch let us know he cared that we enjoyed our stay. The entire family thanks you!
