Vacation Rental Description

          Visit Oregon, The Original Adventure Land 
 
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like living aboard a  
House Boat, located on the beautiful Willamette River? Imagine  
waking to the gentle cradle of a river’s current and feeling blessed  
enough to be able to experience the tranquility of life on the  
river. Serenity awaits you at our home. Whether you are a business  
traveler seeking rejuvenating solitude, a romantic couple looking to  
rediscover one another, an artist waiting to be inspired again, an  
adventurer looking to explore God’s country, or a family in need of  
precious time together, just to share with one another, this is a  
home-away-from home guaranteed to sooth your soul. 
 
 Can you imagine yourself basking in the stillness of the morning  
sun, stretched out on a cushy lounge chair, drinking a steaming cup  
of freshly brewed, Northwest coffee from our panoramic floating  
deck? Breath in the beauty of nature as the sun rises before you  
reflecting off the tranquil water. Witness the morning routine of  
our resident otters and beaver as you soak in our 2nd  
story ‘lookout’ spa. In the evening feel free to defy the darkness  
by lighting a bon-fire in the custom fire pit, while your line  
drifts with the river’s current anticipating a tug on your line from  
a nocturnal channel catfish swimming deep below. Gazing at your  
pole, your mind  congers up visions of pan-fried catfish over  
roasted potatoes; mmm, dinner awaits you. 
 
 You will experience nature as never before, without ever leaving  
our home. The Pacific Northwest is known as Salmon Nation, from our  
house you can witness these majestic fish throughout the seasons as  
they breakwater searching to find their way upstream to spawn,  
fulfilling their life’s destiny. You will hear the Osprey cry out as  
they call to one another, circling high above, surveying the river  
for their prey. The Great Blue Herron, Bald Eagle, a variety of  
Geese, and exotic Ducks are no strangers to our back yard.  Come  
experience river life for yourself. 
 
 This is much more than a vacation, it is an opportunity allowing  
you to take in the beauty of nature. If you had previously  
considered taking your family on vacation elsewhere, reconsider. You  
can forget about the theme parks in the big cities with their  
unavoidable crowds; this is one vacation that you will never forget.  
Bring your family to the end of The Oregon trail where the real  
adventure begins.
