Nestled atop the slopes above the Tualatin River resides one of the more unique and special escapes the region has to offer. Please note this location sits on a piece of property where there is another one bedroom retreat (Marv's Place), a long term residence, and even a small business office. While any of the locations you stay at, your privacy is completely respected, however there may be other activity in the area including at the incredible shared areas such as the oversized hanging iron firepit or the meandering stairs leading to the property's Tualatin River dock. Due to the geographical setting, we do ask that there are not kids under 12 as the drop-off to the river below could be quite hazardous for kiddos.
The 'Goat Shed' was originally just that in days yonder. Now it is an exquisite one bedroom, one bath escape, with a full kitchen and laundry. Every aspect has been renovated, upgraded, and furnished to create a perfect blend of comfort and style all. The entire space was designed to highlight the incredible riverside and forest views. It's hard to beat enjoying a morning or evening beverage tableside while looking over the picturesque setting.
As if that wasn't enough, just a couple dozen feet away you will find the 'Zen Den'. This is another bedroom with its own, mini fridge, sink, seating, and toilet. Please do note, it does not have its own shower. That is shared and within with the Goat Shed. While it may be missing it's own shower, what it does have is a perched deck overlooking the Tualatin River with views that have to be experienced to believe. You will want to spend every moment out here you can. These two spaces make up 'The Cedars at Rivers Edge'.
The outdoor area at the property is quite special. The areas that are specific to this retreat are the deck and immediate outside areas of the Goat Shed and Zen Den. The large fire-pit area is a shared space with Marv's Place as well. The patio under Marv's Place is only for guests of that unit. Also as we mentioned earlier there is a small office above Marv's Place so people may come and go throughout the day. There is ample parking available for guests on the property as well. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all.

As lovely as pictured. What you can't see in the pictures is the river and the amazing calming sounds that come along with that! We stayed 5 nights and loved them all, in fact we are already planning our next stay.
My husband and father-in-law stayed here and it was very nice. We enjoyed kayaking on the river in the morning, and having nice fires at night. There was plenty of wood, and amenities in the home.
Was a great getaway without having a 2 hour drive to the coast or mountain. Even though you are conveniently located to 205 you would never know it. It is set back from the road and right down near the river. My son went down to the dock and fished and was successful. Owners of the property happened to be on-site and dropped off some fishing bait and gave some recommendations. Great family. We will book again.
