Close to Downtown*Luxe-Beautiful Shower-Pets!
Beautiful newly updated 2 bedroom, 2 bath private home decorated in a modern Northwest style with amazing shower and peaceful fenced backyard. Quiet residential neighborhood with walkable streets. 3.5 miles to the "new" Vancouver Waterfront with winery tasting rooms, restaurants and parks. Portland is minutes away, and the beauty of the northwest is all around! The Columbia River Gorge, state and national parks, the Pacific ocean, lakes and waterfalls, are all with a few hours drive (or less) and waiting for you to explore! Wineries, fine dining, casino, fun dive bars, antique stores, golf, summer concerts in the park, mountain hikes, kayaking, waterfalls are all close (and I'll provide you a great locals list of recommendations!).

Pet fee of $100 (per dog, for up to 2 pre-approved dogs). Some breeds may be restricted due to insurance.
Notes: This is our personal home - I am an experienced host and it will have a true vacation rental feel - but there will be some personal items and closed off areas (part of the garage, some or the closets and cabinets). We can't guarantee internet/network TV service since that is not within our control. House entrance has a ring camera that records outside audio and video 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please watch your dog in the yard - we can't guarantee that there will not be a place for them to slide under the fence. Coffee and other consumable items are provided for up to 3-5 days - guests for longer stays will need to re-stock these items. Master bedroom and main living area have mini-split heater/air conditioning units that work very well; additional bedroom incorporates fans and space heaters for our normally mild Pacific NW weather. Maximum of 4 adults and 5 guests total, $5 per night extra guest fee for more than 4 guests (per guest) . This is a wonderful quiet residential neighborhood with neighbors we know and love, please respect the house and the neighbors!
Please carefully review our house rules. *****This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and security deposit. We know security deposits are annoying, so to make it easier on you we have 2 options that you can choose between: Option 1: Damage Waiver ($50) - Have a worry-free stay with coverage for up to $3000 for accidental damage (spills, breaks, mishaps) with no surprise charges. Just relax and enjoy your stay. Coverage up to 10 nights, +$2/day for longer stays, and provided by a third-party insurance company. Option 2: Security Deposit ($2,500) - Refundable temporary hold that releases after your stay. To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it's a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots. Your guest portal includes advertisements with third-party upgrades that you may want to enhance your stay. These upgrades are optional and include: Early Check-in, if available: $30 per hour. Less than 1 hour there is no charge, if available. Late Check-out, if available: Noon check-out, $50. If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!

The location is a short drive to all Vancouver has to offer, but is far enough away to be a peaceful getaway. The home is well appointed and has lots of space to spread out. The beds are actually comfortable, which is hard to find in vacation rentals! Communication was great, easy check in/check out, we have no complaints!
I recently stayed at this lovely house in Vancouver, WA, and it was a fantastic experience! The shower was amazing—spacious and invigorating. The neighborhood is incredibly friendly and walkable, and there are several parks nearby that we enjoyed. I loved the coffee bar, complete with a Nespresso machine, drip coffee maker, and whole beans with a grinder—perfect for the coffee lovers in my family! The bright and inviting living room was a great place to relax. Highly recommend this place for a cozy getaway!
Our 6 night stay was wonderful. Sheila and Scott were very helpful and available to answer any questions. Their home is lovely and if possible even better than the description. From the beautiful backyard to the great kitchen and living areas. Nice bedrooms and cushy linens! We plan on coming back!
Three family members and 1 dog made the trip from Eugene to Vancouver WA to join the other half of our family for new year's weekend. At first glance, this house looked perfect for us, so I booked it.
Booking went like a charm and Sheila was very communicative all the way through the process. She had been using an external service for the deposit, but when I got the daily notices to complete the form, I asked her about it. She apologized and said to disregard the messages. Ok!
Upon arrival, we we amazed at how absolutely perfect this home was for our stay. The description was accurate, except everything was 100 times better than described! Because it's a dog friendly home, they provided all the necessities to help us help keep the dog comfortable while maintaining the home's cleanliness. Nice touch.
The beds were extremely clean and comfortable, Shower in main bath indescribable with 3 walls of varied shower heads - each with full pressure even while on at the same time! There were also 3 comfy bathrobes for us as well. Lovely.
The Nespresso and other coffee options made for a lovely wake up AND they provided everything for hot breakfasts, including a waffle bar, bacon, eggs, butter, and a variety of beverages. As well as full set of cooking utensils, spices, sauces, and more.
The outdoor areas were partly covered for the rainy winter, and had nice plantings. Location was close to town and nature trails.
I can't say enough positive! We felt right at home.
Very welcoming home and hosts!! They were very responsive when we had questions, made sure we were well prepared to check in and out and the home was clean and comfortable.
Definitely a 5 star experience for us! The host was so easy to work with and accommodated our need to extend our stay for a couple of extra days! Clean and comfortable - highly recommend!!
The back yard was so peaceful to BBQ, sip on a coffee and enjoy a conversation. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. Loved all the vegetation in the yards. The location was perfect for accessing the HWYs, and the surrounding areas including Portland, OR. The house had all the amenities, as we cooked most of our meals there.
Such a beautiful and clean home and it was very comfortable. The host were great for as reaching out to make sure that we had everything we needed. I am definitely looking forward to returning to Vancouver and staying there again.
We had a beautiful stay. We chose this property because of the central location which allowed us to explore both Washington and Oregon. Sheila and Scott thought of everything! We had everything we needed while away from home and more. The neighborhood is very quiet and the backyard is peaceful and full of beautiful plants and flowers. It was the perfect home away from home.

Left after the first night of a five night reservation
I have never had such a surprising awful experience when using VRBO’s Premier Host and prior reviews as a guide. This home had a layer of dust throughout, cobwebs in multiple corners of each room with dead bugs. It was as it had not been maintained and cleaned for quite some time. The Master bathroom had ants on the walls, the toilet, the toilet paper, and at the entrance to the shower. The bathroom pictures did not include the ant trap on the window sill.
In summary I could not understand the disconnect here. In all my years of using VRBO I have never experienced anything like this given the Reviews and the Premier Host designation.
After the first night we left and found another rental that upheld everything detailed via the Reviews and the Superhost designation
I will be seeking a cleaning refund (and more), as well as discussing with VRBO my experience that include pictures of the conditions described above
We stayed three nights and hosted business training sessions during the day. The attendees were present 8-5 each day. It worked great. There is ample table and island space to spread out and large screen TVs that can serve as displays for laptop powerpoints. The furnishings were comfortable and the coffee bar was a nice touch for our attendees. There is a very cozy space with couch and cozy chair around an electric fireplace. The shower in the master bath is pure luxury and the bed was very comfortable. There is a nice selection of kitchen ware and spices for the chef in the family. The pictures are accurate and we would definitely stay here again. The location is easy to access and near most things. Scott and Sheila were excellent hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. 5 star service!!
