A Jurassic-Inspired Sanctuary on 2.03 Acres Above the Columbia Gorge! Welcome to Jurassic Retreat, where dramatic natural beauty & modern comfort meet in a setting that feels carved from another era—complemented by a successful short-term rental track record. Nestled along the lush hills of Washougal, this one-of-a-kind property evokes the spirit of a prehistoric oasis: soaring evergreens, primeval ferns, layered rock formations & the steady hush of nature forming a backdrop worthy of a cinematic landscape. The home itself is a stunning retreat, blending warm Northwest architecture with curated updates & expansive windows that frame your private “Jurassic valley.” Features 4 beds/2 baths, vaulted-high ceilings, beamed ceilings, French doors & natural light that pours across open living spaces, illuminating rich textures & seamless indoor–outdoor flow. The kitchen boasts modern appliances including dishwasher, microwave, range, fridge, along with generous counter space & eating area. The bedrooms are serene escapes, each capturing its own slice of the surrounding wilderness, while the bathrooms offer comfort and style with updated finishes. The 4th bedroom on the main can flex as a den, office, game room or workspace. Mud room & laundry with washer/dryer included. A filtration system runs from the well to the reservoir supplying the home. Outdoors, the magic continues with mossy paths, wildlife & a towering canopy that gives each moment a cinematic feel. Enjoy a private hot tub, deck and plenty of space for kids & entertainment, plus a secure smart lock check-in system. This secluded gem is only minutes from modern thrills—kayaking & windsurfing along the Columbia, world-class hiking & waterfalls in the Gorge, local wineries & breweries, charming downtown Washougal shops & easy access to Vancouver & Portland amenities. A rare fusion of artistry, privacy, convenience & primeval beauty—this is a truly immersive, storybook haven.
