Floating in Oregon

Have you already compiled a list of places to go for a family vacation? Tired of competing with huge crowds? Here is one idea you might consider adding to your list. How does a family vacation in a floating home sound? If you’re looking for something different for you and your family and would like to get away from the same old run of the mill vacations, then you might want to put the Floating Home Vacation as number one on your list. Portland Oregon is where you will find this 3-bedroom house, built on a floating platform, floating on the Willamette River. Here is also where you can spend valuable time with your family and soak up some of nature’s unspoiled amenities.
Don’t worry about keeping the kids occupied. There are plenty of activities available around the house as well as activities within an hours drive. Activities around the house include swimming, water skiing, boat rides through historic locks and canoe rides, all on the lake where the house floats. That’s not it though. There’s more. Within an hours drive of the house there is golfing available, deep-sea fishing and whale watching at Depoe Bay. There are state parks where you get to see beautiful waterfalls. If that’s not enough, how about a visit to Mt. Hood’s, Timberline Lodge, where skiing is available. You won’t miss out on it if you and your family only have free time in the summer. Skiing is available all year long. The list goes on and on for things to do.
Pet sitting may not have to be a concern. It’s a pet friendly home, but it’s always best to inquire beforehand to check with their policies. The floating house sleeps eight with the master bedroom suite occupying the entire second floor. Enjoy breakfast outside on the picnic table on the deck, or fish for your own lunch using the fishing poles and canoes that are at your disposal. Then grill the fish on the barbeque grill. Afterwards, sit back in the lawn chairs and loungers and realize how relaxing watching the river roll by can be. Since I didn’t cover half of what’s available, you can go to www.floatinghomevacation.com for more details about pricing and availability.
