Great location & large cabin

February 2025

The cabin was spacious. The location is tucked away and you can hear the river nearby. I would recommend staying here again however, I hope the owner fixes some issues first. The master bathroom shower does not drain/is clogged. This made for a gross/impossible shower situation. Second, we found the master bedroom bed linens to be gross and old. There were holes in the comforter & the entire sheet set felt like it was 100 years old. Not comfortable. We ended up sleeping with the blankets we had brought as “emergency backups.” Overall, the house was nice but it does need a little TLC in that master bedroom.

Snowy fun vacation

February 2025

We had a great time celebrating birthdays with my husband and two adult kids. Great location and beautiful property. Comfortable beds and lots of games. One of the fire alarms kept chirping every 20 minutes or so (downstairs bedroom with king bed). We changed the battery but it still continues to chirp, which makes sleeping difficult for whoever stays in that room. I saw a review mentioning this same thing from two years ago, so it might be worth checking it out, as something seems to be wrong with the unit.We would stay here again - thanks!

Perfect Getaway

September 2024

The house was a perfect home base for Mt. hood adventures. It was spacious, well stocked with games and movies, and you can’t beat the location. Only words of warning are the WiFi did not work at all and cell service was very poor, so we had to drive into town for online access. We also booked with “pets” and then were charged a second pet fee when we contacted them to indicate we had 2 dogs after only being able to select a generic “with pets” in our booking, so that was disappointing. Door code provided did not work upon arrival, but they were able to resolve that pretty quickly.
