Welcome to your peaceful escape ’Island Dream’ a direct riverfront location on the Nehalem River—where wide-open views, cozy comfort, and unforgettable moments come together. This beautifully updated home sits right on the river and features a private dock, giving you direct access to the water for kayaking, fishing, or simply soaking in the serene surroundings.
From the moment you step inside, you’ll be drawn to the expansive wall of windows framing the river and surrounding landscape. The open-concept living space is warm and inviting, with vaulted ceilings, comfortable seating, and a brick fireplace that creates the perfect place to unwind after a day outdoors.
The adjacent dining area and fully stocked kitchen make it easy to gather, cook, and connect. With updated appliances, generous counter space, and everything you need to prepare meals, you’ll feel right at home.
Step outside onto the deck and take in the peaceful riverfront setting. Watch wildlife, enjoy your morning coffee, or head down to your private dock for a closer connection to the water. Don’t be surprised when you hear the sounds of a great horned owl as well as various pack of coyotes throughout the region. There is no question, this is such a special place to stay and enjoy.
We’re excited to host you and hope your stay is full of fun and great memories. To keep things peaceful for our wonderful neighbors, we observe quiet hours from 10:00 pm to 8:00 am. During this time, please stay indoors with windows and doors closed, and keep noise at a comfortable indoor level. The home includes a noise‑monitoring system that measures volume only—it simply helps us ensure the neighborhood stays calm and enjoyable for everyone. Thanks for helping us keep this a welcoming place for all guests.
