The Abode

This place is a gem! It is small but beautifully laid out and decorated. The best part of our weekend was laying in bed and looking out the large picture window at the river watching the birds and wildlife. I can't wait to come back in the summer months with my grandson and kayaks!

Beautiful Vacation Rental

We are return visitors to The Abode. It is a perfect size for us, and it has everything we need. The Abode is only 10 minutes away from our daughter and grandkids. The beach, and the river are a real treat.

A PERFECT CHOICE FOR US

Fantastic hosts and cozy cabin. Cool view, awesome wildlife, great location, comfy bed.

Great stay

When I opened the door to The Abode, I was greeted by warmth, a classy interior, and windows that brought the outside inside. 
It provided a most comfortable fit for the two of us and became our base as we explored Julia Butler Hansen Game Refuge, hiked the beaches, and got acquainted with nearby towns where in Cathlamet they were getting ready to have a Senior Prom for those over 55+.

The wall-size front window provided excellent viewing of nature's beauty. I spotted a Red-naped Sapsucker doing its job and a Great Blue Heron who was a better fisherman than the fellow fishing nearby. Viewing from the side window it seemed like the enormous ocean going container ship was within my reach.

There are so many things to see, if you only look.

Lorraine and Steve, thank you for such a welcoming Abode and next time we come, I will pack my prom shoes, just in case. My husband will pack his waders, not into proms!

If only you look...

A perfect combination of peace and the outdoors. I loved coming to the light airiness of the Abode after a full day of kayaking and walking the beach.  Eating lunch under the willow tree while gazing across the bay was a treat. Steve and Lorraine are wonderful hosts, close by and willing to share ideas about what to do to best experience the area and help in any way to make the most of your stay. I definitely recommend!
