Historic Downtown Cottage

**Astoria is currently undergoing a construction boom all over town so there may be some construction noise during the day.

Live like a local in this quaint, 1930's restored two bedroom house located in historic downtown Astoria. Just steps from the original settlement in the historic district, our cottage is within a few blocks of the Columbia River Maritime Museum, the Heritage Museum, the Ft. George brewery, the Bow Picker and the riverwalk. This cottage features off street parking (a rare find in downtown), laundry and a full kitchen. Park your car and walk to everything.
We are available to respond to guests needs through the app and have also posted phone numbers at the property.
This 1930's cottage is located in Astoria's historic district where a variety of beautifully restored Victorian, Mediterranean, Tudor and Craftsman homes and buildings can be seen.
We offer a secure keyless code entry that will be unique to every booking. We live very close and are available if the need arises. We provide a house manual with suggestions for activities, restaurants and house rules.

Although we accept pets, we charge an additional fee of $20/pet/night (max 2 pets allowed) to accommodate for the additional cleaning required.

Please note that there are 8 stairs to the front door.

Great Cottage!

We were so pleased with this cottage. It’s in a great location to walk to almost everything in town. The cottage is nicely decorated and fully equipped with everything you would need. What a treat it was to come back from town to 4 deer chilling in the front lawn. I highly recommend this place on your next visit.

Fantastic location and home!

We came for a one night stay, and this house and location was excellent. Everything was just as described, we were able to walk a few blocks to dinner downtown, and walked around the neighborhood in the evening. Communication with the host was great, and we’ll stay here again in the future if we can!

Astoria Visit

This property is located in easy walking distance of most of what we would want to see. We enjoyed jogging along the waterfront, restaurants, shopping, and hiking to the column. Managers are easy to communicate with. Entry & wifi were easy. Not fancy, but totally fine. Would stay here again. Cheers.

Stay in VRBO

The place was very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen had everything (except a steamer basket) that anyone could want. The beds were comfortable as well. So, I was very happy with the place and the parking was right by the front door!

Great little in town location for couple with dogs

Nice stay, perfect for us. Only consideration might be for individuals that cannot do stairs, for us the house was perfect. Was great to,have a space so walkable with great parking that did not share walls with anyone that allowed our two large dogs. Rare find.

Perfect get away for the weekend! We enjoyed all of adorable and historic Astoria within steps just outside our door. Bakeries to breweries, the film museum and all along the Columbia River. Truly a wonderful escape and so comfortable to enjoy such a perfectly layed out home with charm and comfort.

Great location for walking to most things in Astoria. Anything we couldn’t walk to, the trolley could take us! Great spot, would absolutely stay there again. Can’t beat the views of the river and had multiple visits from deer in the yard!

Great location

Ended up getting another property with same host by choice due to circumstances. The host was wonderful and had great communication with the process of changing locations and the flat was perfect for us. Well decorated, the bed was comfortable and rooms had a phone charger and noise machine which was appreciated.

Great Experience, As Advertised, Responsive Host

Professional, caring and communicative host, nice house as advertised and depicted in photos, in great walkable location in downtown. Very quiet and safe neighborhood walkable to nightlife, restaurants and charming shops. Perfect for us (retired couple with medium sized dog). We've traveled extensively, have previously rented homes for various lengths of stays. In this instance we stayed 3 weeks so we really experienced the place and give this property an "A plus."

Fantastic location to explore historic Astoria Oregon

The property’s location is a major plus for this clean cute cottage. My husband, myself and our adult daughter enjoyed exploring downtown and the surrounding areas. We were able to walk around the historic area and had a fantastic meal at Breakside Brewing (their Butternut squash soup and salads were amazing ) not your usual pub food. The cottage had everything we needed and was in a quiet off street location with parking. The beds were very comfortable and the owner was very responsive. Thank you for hosting us.

Decent Lodgings at a Reasonable Price

Cottage was clean and comfortable. Location great for its nearness to restaurants, brewery, historic homes, etc. It's just a 2-block walk to good food. Cottage set in the midst of other buildings, so there is really no view and no yard to speak of. Would give a 3.5 rating, if that were an option, but gave it a 3 based on a few less than optimum items (e.g. leaking showerhead, shortage of cooking equipment, broken window blinds that didn't provide complete privacy). Despite those issues, we would definitely stay here again.

Extremly clean and great location

The cottage was in a great central location. Well stocked with towels, and other supplies. It was cold the week we’re staying and being an old home the heating was not efficient. The queen bed had a memory form mattress that was worn in the middle so sleeping was a struggle. It is set up for pour over coffee but the kettle was not. They really should have a coffee maker available.

If you’re desperate

Nothing about it was worth the price we paid. Paint splatters all over one chair and the recliner looked like a circa 80s pick up from Goodwill. Didn’t get instructions on how to enter the property (side street) and had to call after hours to get help. It’s old, musty and overpriced. No coffee either. We could’ve stayed on the pier, with our dog, for about the same price—and much better amenities. We do NOT recommend.

Cute but not very comfortable

The house was hard to find, with directions. The picture of the house is misleading. Being an older home, some of the things like heat and functionality were challenging. We saw the refrigerator in one of the pictures for the house, assumed it had ice, since it had a dispenser. Wrong. No ice. There was one, broken up, plastic ice tray in freezer with a few, you could call them cubes, in the tray. No other tray available, and when we first handled the tray, it fell apart, rendering it useless. The seating was not comfortable at all. The outside was not well kept, as the porches were filthy. The back porch had a broom standing upright, almost begging to be used, and the hand rails on the front were gross. However the bath was exceptional!!! Just like the photo. Great water pressure and hot water! We loved being in Astoria, and we had a grand visit, for my 70th birthday. Sorry, we would not return.

Perfect Location in Astoria

This cute and cozy light filled cottage was just perfect for a quick overnight stay. Super clean, comfortable beds and the charm of Astoria too. Great neighborhood to walk and view the old homes- so fun. We walked to Fort George for dinner after a day of exploring the many antique shops. Very responsive and accommodating owner as well. Love Astoria!!
