I was excited to arrive based on the profile online, but this place was even better than expected! This quiet, calm marine life just off the Columbia River was just what we needed. The decor and amenities make you feel at home instantly. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were beautifully appointed. The chef kitchen was icing on the cake! The deck seating, Himalayan salt sauna and water toys connect you the PNW surroundings. This is a great place to stay while in Portland!

The host is spectacular! Loved the location of this property and everything in it. It was so fun to be able to cool down on those hot September days and not have to leave the property.

We loved our stay at this cozy and beautiful floating home. We particularly loved the cleanliness of the space and we instantly felt at home with the warm pellet stove, comfortable beds and all the things you could need in the kitchen, even some snacks and beverages. We also really enjoyed the outdoor space! The owner was wonderful and easy to communicate with. We wished we could have stayed a bit longer and hope to return!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Otter House! The location was perfect, the house was unique and beautiful inside (with essentially everything we needed and wanted). We enjoyed kayaking off the porch and the weather was incredible! We will definitely be back!

The house is well decorated throughout. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook there. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay there. The reason that we didn’t check 5 stars is because of the lack of additional notes that we feel it needed to help guests to locate the unit and the designated parking spaces, especially after dusk. Secondly, a warning should be posted about the steep ramp from the street to the unit for guests with luggage, especially the ones with mobility issues. I have provided a private feedback to the owner about those points.

2 en suites, fishing off the back deck, paddling with kayaks, lunch at Island Cafe, bicycling along the river, close to downtown Portland and Vancouver and so much more! Also a very sweet infrared sauna on the deck! A bit of heaven on the water!

This was such a fun and unique property and location! Loved the decor of the boat house and the back deck was a sanctuary. We loved having our morning coffee watching the baby ducks swim by. The owner of the property was very responsive to any questions that came up. She goes above and beyond to ensure a top notch experience!

This gem of a rental was amazingly stocked with amenities. From high quality pans and cookware to seasonings, gourmet coffee and even a expresso machine. Beds were super comfy. We used the paddle boards and had a blast cruising around this river house neighborhood. My husband couldn't get enough of having his morning coffee and working on his laptop in the mornings on the patio to beautiful perfect weather. We couldn't have asked for more.

Loved every second! Immaculate, cool decor and comfy beds! A change in the usual getaway! Lots to see and do, with great restaurants nearby! An Otter dropped by for a visit on the deck! Would highly recommend or visit again the next time I’m in Portland! Great communication with Heidi… Was away with my parents (in their 80s) , accessibility was no issue at all . Five Stars!

We loved the unique experience of a floating home. The Otter House was clean with a cheerful vibe. The kitchen had a well stocked pantry and cookware, so if you want to eat in and enjoy the river views you can. I also did a load of laundry. Our beds were comfortable as well. I'd return again.

It is an amazing and unique experience for old and young alike. The kids (and parents) will be entertained by the entirely different experience right on the water. We saw Bald Eagles, Osprey and so many others. The flowers and beauty are all there to behold from your deck or living room. What a wonderful and great memorable time with my grown son made so special by Heidi. We had a lost & found rental car issue and Heidi spent as long as it took to be sure I got it back. At one point going to the airport for hours. Amazing kindness and caring which followed through to every detail of our stay. I am physically challenged and just had to very slowly go up and down the ramp to get to the rental. But It is so worth it. Thank you Heidi for taking care of every concern and going way above and beyond. I hope you expand your rentals--would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you Heidi!

Although our stay was shorter than expected we loved every minute. The houseboat was easy to find. It was nicely maintained with all necessary amenities (and even a few extra nice surprises). We enjoyed waking up and walking out the front door to sit beside the river with coffee in hand. Walking out the front door to take a dive into the river. Eating dinner and watching the sunset. It was full of life and entertainment. Can't wait to take the kids next time.
