Family-friendly vacation rentals in Cowlitz River

Really cozy and outfitted with nice touches.

We had a wonderful and tranquil stay here. The setting is absolutely stunning, perfect for relaxation and disconnecting. On a rainy evening, we soaked in the hot tub and later fell asleep to the soothing sound of rain on the canvas and tin roof. The propane heater kept us cozy, and the bed was warm and comfortable under the covers. In the morning, we appreciated having the essentials to prepare and enjoy breakfast. One small tip for future guests: consider bringing a pair of flip-flops or easy slip-on shoes for trips to the hot tub or bathroom. It’s a minor thing, but it would have made those short walks even easier. Overall, this stay was a perfect blend of comfort, nature, and serenity. Highly recommend it for a peaceful getaway!

This beautiful property is off the beaten path, peaceful and bucolic, cozy and well appointed ... close to all you want to see and do in Portland. We woke to birdsong and woodpeckers, strolled through the vineyards, and then picnicked under the cherry blossoms along the Williamette in downtown Portland for lunch! The kitchen had everything we needed for a fun family dinner with game playing around the farmhouse table when the weather turned rainy in the evening. Highly recommended!

Ally is the best host ever! She went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We had an amazing experience at her gem of a place! Located in a quiet neighborhood, yet very close to downtown Portland. Amazing Mountain Views!! Ally gave us a detailed tour of the adorable farm animals. Our kids loved it! She was super accommodating of all our special requests and made us feel at home. Hands down this has been one of the best experiences we have had via Airbnb. Thank you Ally and kudos to your efforts!

Cozy cabin in a gorgeous peaceful location. Everything we needed was there, including a pre-laid fire! The views were gorgeous and made for the perfect get-away!

Great, quiet location. Enjoyed the garage area with ping pong table. Loads of parking, which seems to not match the listing, but in a good way since there are way more than four parking spots. Very close to I-5 and the casino. It’s an older place, but it was great for our purposes and very much enjoyed our stay. Would return.

We really loved the place. We were on a schedule and know if we could have spent some more time, we might not leave...lol.

David was a great host, and his home is amazing! Very peaceful and close to a lot of great outdoor activities.

Kathleen is a true Gem of a host!!! We loved everything about her place. Excellent breakfast, highly recommend pre-ordering. Perfectly located outside of our usual haunts along the coast of Long Beach area. Will definitely return. So thankful that it is dog friendly.

The Art House perfectly met our needs. From the cozy fireplace to the comfy beds, we felt right at home on this mother-daughter time away. Leah was very responsive and provided a clear balance of privacy and friendliness -- respecting our time alone but inviting us to stop by to say hello should we choose :) We're looking forward to returning with the rest of the family.

We had to book this place last minute (day of) as our previous accommodations had cancelled on us. Susan was so easy to work with and was very helpful! Couldn’t have asked for a better saving of the day. The house was very clean, and was perfect for our group of gals. We had 1 guest that is severely allergic to dogs and even though this is a pet friendly house, not once did she have any type of reaction which goes to show just how clean the house was. I would absolutely recommend to a friend!

My husband and I haven’t gotten away in a long time, part due to not having a pet sitter. I found Paula’s cabin on Airbnb and it sounded perfect AND dogs were welcome! This was my first time using Airbnb and I know I wasn’t an ideal guest since I didn’t have any history, reviews, etc.. but luckily Paula allowed us to rent her property. This cabin was beautiful!! All the amenities of home but with the most perfect, peaceful setting. The property was amazing and the dogs had such a ball running around and going in the river. Paula has lots of games, music, and dvd’s to entertain. We really did nothing except play outside with dogs, watch movies, and enjoyed great conversations with my husband. The cabin is fully stocked of anything you may have forgotten. Paula was amazing the entire time with answering any questions I had during our stay!! You will not be disappointed with staying at Paula’s cabin❤️

Spent a wonderful time at the Carter House! Large, cozy suite in a beautiful neighborhood that is walkable to all the downtown Vancouver spots. My only caveat would be the WIFI/Internet in the suite is very hit or miss, so would not recommend if you are planning on heavy internet usage, but otherwise a great experience!

Only 7 min away from the Cowlitz center which was convenient.

We’ve been to WMR, many times. Just 1 hour from busy Portland life, we love to escape here. The property is pristinely kept, uber peaceful, and the cabins are so quaint! We’ll be back time and time again.

My extended stay was absolutely delightful! The hosts were incredibly welcoming, and the place was tranquil and wonderful. I highly recommend this cozy retreat for healing and self discovery.

We really enjoyed our stay, the house was very clean and had a great set up. It was right on the lake with a beautiful view of Mt. Saint Helens too! Jennifer had great communication as well! Definitely worth the price!

A+! Peaceful with a fantastic view across the Gorge and only 5 min to restaurants, brewery, and grocery store. Our hosts stocked the essentials (coffee, basic cooking foodstuffs, toiletries) so there was no need for a rushed shopping trip on arrival. Great information on everything to do in the area and friendly, responsive hosts. Will be our go to ABNB in the Gorge/Colombia River area when we come back.

Very nice and respectful very good at responding the place was beautifullllll. They respect boundaries and made getting situation very easy 10/10

Within a few miles from Cornelius, Forest Grove and West Hillsboro. Very close to North Plains. Quiet location away from any community. A king bed and a sofa bed. Full stove and fridge. Easy access to highway 26. Groceries and fast food a few miles away. Nice and comfortable and has an outdoor patio with table.

Love this place and have stayed there twice now whenever I come to Oregon to go fishing. Has all the ammenities I need, and Tim is a fantastic host. Looking forward to staying there on my next trip.

Beautiful place! Beds were very comfortable, linens and towels were clean and soft, home was quiet and kitchen was beautiful with high quality items. By far the best Airbnb kitchen I’ve seen! TV was easy to use and the place was much more spacious than I anticipated.

Our stay at Sonia’s was wonderful. The room was well laid out, tastefully decorated and looked recently renovated. Everything was clean, the little extras like fresh bananas, oatmeal, yogurt and coffee were very much appreciated and a nice surprise. The location was in a quiet residential neighborhood, walking distance from town and convenient off street parking. We have family in the area and look forward to staying at Sonia’s in the future.

Inger’s home was clean, comfortable and cozy, and had everything we needed. The host was responsive and friendly. I loved the location and the neighborhood. There were several great restaurants within a block or two, and a coffee shop with delicious breads and pastries within a half mile. Public transportation is great in Portland, and there were bus stops near the house. I would stay here again.
