Ideal Spot for a Family Vacation or Relaxing Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin. Itâs surrounded by trees and feels very private and quiet. The best part was the creek in the backyard â we loved listening to the water and sitting outside to relax.
The cabin was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed morning coffee on the porch, short hikes in the woods nearby, and campfire at night. It was the perfect place to slow down and enjoy nature.
Highly recommend if youâre looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway
the place is just lovely. i was a little concerned about it being a little close to the road (because of our dog) buy that worry instantly vanished when we walked around back. a giant magical open yard surrounded by huge trees and giant ferns. provided shade, sun, and of course a river! so much space to run and play. and while it was hot outside, the house stayed nice and cool. a great time was had by all.
Beautiful mountain cabin with an amazing view of the river
We loved the large windows that looked out over the backyard and river, and the quiet location makes it a great place to relax. It's 30-35 minutes from Timberline & Mt. Hood Meadows, and 5 minutes from Welches & Rhododendron. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and cookware to make a meal, and the dining room table is large enough for a group. There's a skylight over the master bed, so bring an eye mask if you plan on sleeping in. There's a wood-burning fireplace, but wood wasn't provided so bring your own.
This cabin was beautiful! The huge windows overlooking the creek and forest made this place feel so pretty and the leaves were falling which made for the perfect fall time getaway! If you are looking for a relaxing and spacious place look no further everything about this cabin is so charming I wished I couldâve stayed longer! My partner and I brought our dog and we had the best experience weâve ever had when renting a place for the weekend. There are lots of hiking and foraging options just up the road!
We loved so much about this property; from the location, the floorplan, and the amazing backyard.
The home for the most part was clean with the glaring exception of a TON of spider webs, both inside and outside. I walked into the living room and a spider was hanging from its web at eye level to me, and when we went to bed the first night, by wife turned over her pillow and there was a huge wolf spider on the bottom of her pillow. The outside of the property is covered in spider webs as well. I know that the property is in the middle of the woods and there are naturally spiders and insects, but a simple monthly power wash would remove the problem, and an exterminator and regular cleaning to take down spider webs seems like a reasonable solution. Also, we were here for a week and I think it'd be appropriate to provide more supplies than someone who is staying for a day or two. The kitchen has quite a few missing tile trim pieces on the countertops as well, so this property has huge potential, but is in desperate need of attention.
My family and I have been coming to MT Hood for a few years now. This place was one of the best experiences we had. It was in a great location, very clean and maintained, and had a great backyard and stream in addition to the hot tub. I highly recommend this as a family friendly spot! We will definitely be back!
This property is gorgeous and the house was really nice. We only got to enjoy the huge outside property for one day though. The house next door appears to be unoccupied and the alarm was going off for over 24 hours on the second day. We reported the alarm to multiple sources and it was never addressed. This prevented us from enjoying any of the outside amenities and that was the whole reason we booked this home. Itâs important to note that this home is hosted by Vacasa, a detail I missed when booking. I have had only bad experiences with Vacasa in the past and have made it a point to avoid booking with them. This experience was another miss on their part and a further testament to not wanting to book with them. The house was great, the experience was poor.
We basically loved everything about the place. Will definitely will be back! Love to see it in the fall/winter. It was clean and comfy. Hot clean and secluded. Great for families! Itâs a good mix of a mountain retreat with a bit of camping due to the large meadow going to the fire pit and creek. The creek is beautiful and fun to explore.
The place is close to a cute historic cafe with all house made food. Plus all the trails you could ask for to adventure on. For the young kids, take the time and go to Wildwoods recreation areas. Rivers, trails, and tons of exploring. Itâs not to far from the Old Salmon River trail. Another beautiful place most ages.
I rated it a 4 because there was TONS of cobwebs all over the deck, siding, and hot tub area. I get it, itâs in the woods and it happens. My husband and I had no problems cleaning it up. We didnât want the kids to fixate about it and ruin their time. The whole family had a fun four night vacation!
Beautiful location!! Unfortunately, couldn't enjoy the outside deck because their were so many COBWEBS EVERYWHERE! Couldn't open the windows inside since their were so many cobwebs inside and outside of the track. One of the sliders down stairs screen door needs some major attention and also the dishwasher. Upstairs bedroom is VERY DARK and half way through our stay the one light that was in there burnt out. We had 2 guests that are deathly afraid of spiders and unfortunately we had many spider sightings inside the house and they were very present outside.
We enjoyed our weekend stay. The property is beautiful and feels private even though it is close to neighbors. The house had a bit of a musty smell and could really benefit from some better lighting. Our main disappointment was that the sleeping accommodations include beds in an open loft, which was not described in the listing. The listing makes it seem like there are beds for 5 people in the second bedroom so perhaps this should be updated so people understand the arrangements. The property could also benefit from better seating at the dining room table. The chairs are very large and so, even though the table is big, you can't fit seating for 6 around the table. The check out time is 10am. To me that is unreasonably early.
The hot tub on the deck was really fantastic and the house is really well designed if you like listening to rain on the roof (it rained the whole time we were there, which we loved!). The conversation pit/fireplace are in the living rooms is a fun touch. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen, although very small, functions quite well.
My partner and I had a great stay here. It snowed the first day and the view through the large windows was stunning! Loved being able to build a fire, though there were no instructions on how to use the flue or fan, which would've been nice. A welcome binder with all the details including hot tub instructions would be helpful, since cell reception is non-existent here. Wifi worked great though! The space was tidy, but felt like it had been awhile since it had been cleaned - we found cobwebs, and a giant dead spider and debris in the shower. The bed was moderately comfortable, but I recommend bringing your own pillows - the ones provided were lumpy and hard. Kitchen was well stocked, but could use some normal sized spoons - they were all large. Found some DVDs in the upstairs closet, but no DVD player which was a bummer. Nice to have the smart tv option though! It was stormy our last night and we lost power early the next morning, and eventually lost all water pressure down to a tiny trickle, which was odd. All in all, the inconveniences were minimal, and the view, hot tub, and cozy living space with sunken fire pit are what make this a 5 star cabin. Would be fun to come back in the summer and sit down by the river!
This is a great CABIN experience. We arrived to find it just as advertised and at 48 degrees. Hot tub was hot and very fun for the kids with cool lighting. Cozy carpet in bedrooms and pillows surrounding the fireplace. Leather couch was great for watching Netflix. After hot tub, 2 showers, and turning the thermostat to 70, the furnace went out. We did our best at troubleshooting. Electrical worked fine and we presumed the furnace. We survived the 23 degree night with space heaters - firewood was not provided. In the morning - no water. We were worried about a frozen pipe, several calls to vacasa and no actual help. We went skiing and returned to HVAC guy who could not find the furnace but brought us a log. Could not reach the owner. Hot tub cold. We had a breakthrough with another try at the breakers. Another flip of the switch and we had a nice warm night. Turns out there is probably a pump house/furnace that is finicky? This is an old cabin and needs some instructions to go with it. It was a bummer for our weekend to deal with a blown fuse that we couldnât figure out despite best efforts. We hope to hear from vacasa. We would go here again. Bring firewood!
The stay overall was relaxing, and we had a good time. However, the house/property needs some work. The wooden swing pictured next to the creek was broken, all the screen doors are falling off the tracks and very difficult to open and close, and the house itself poses a fire hazard due to gutters packed with debris and debris all over the roof. The box of hot tub cleaner that was supposed to be used after every use was empty. You could tell that the property is being used as a rental. The setting is amazing, though, and the stay overall was good.
Beautiful setting but not quite as secluded as I would have hoped (or as described). Parts of the cabin are lovely. It could use little TLC in others and the water leaves a lot to be desired. Extremely offensive sulfur smell that lingers in the cabin and on you after a shower or even making coffee. Also, if you don't appreciate dripping sweat from humidity, make sure you are ok with no AC. It's listed this way but the cabin itself was overwhelming without a way to cool off. Not pleasant. Other than that, it was a nice weekend and the spot by the river is absolutely beautiful.
This home has a lot of character and charm and the creek is awesome! Great location, short drive to a handful of restaurants/shopping and all sorts of amazing nature is nearby as well.
A friend and I stayed in this magical cabin in the woods for a working retreat. Everything from the peaceful seclusion and forest views to the comfy furniture, cozy fireplace, and blazing-fast wifi made it conducive for a productive stay. We were transported right into that creative, right-brain zone we were seeking, and got a lot of work done. Will definitely return!
The house was very clean and the overall appearance was exactly as it is portrayed online. Unfortunately upon arrival, the thermostat was "offline" so it was colder inside the house than it was outside and it was 52 degrees outdoors at this time. I had to place multiple calls for someone to come fix the heating issue. This also turned into the hot water going on and the circuit breakers continued to trip. This also affected the hot tub which did not get above 86 degrees until the day I left. This was planned as a family trip but due to the ongoing lack of warmth, my kids and husband did not come so I was alone and did not have a chance to enjoy the stay which was a let down. Quite honestly this felt like a lot of money essentially wasted and I definitely would not recommend this rental.
This is the place to go for deep relaxation and privacy. We felt like we were in the woods. Loved wandering the property and chilling by the river. Only 10 mins to Timberline. Great pizza, coffee around. Must have Skyways BBQ up the road or Koyo down the road. We will be back for sure!
House was not clean, smelled musty, poop in toilet, dirty windows and very old cobwebs. Hot tub dangerously hot. Called vacasa, was told it was a known problem. Maintenance came late next day but still overheated that night. Dryer was broken. These Maintenance issues should have been disclosed Prior to our arrival. Very disappointed...
