Good size. Accommodated all of us well. Beautiful property. Other than a few essential appliances not working properly (could be fixed), I guess it was a good value. Close to many amenities (like the Alpine Ski Bowl) and Lake Trillium.

Got to the property and the downstairs which had a bedroom, bathroom and living room was very wet. It also smelled very bad. They had a fan trying to air it out. We couldn’t use it because the smell was unbearable. Reached out to the host that day and still never got a response one week later. We had three families so because we couldn’t use the downstairs we have to share rooms and my brother-in-law and I slept on the couch. Would not recommend.

Good for One Night

The house was in a good location and provided a lot of space for our group. The layout was good and provided our teens with their own place to hang out downstairs. A soak in the hot tub was a nice way to end the night. The kitchen was spacious and was decently stocked with dishes, pots and pans.

A beautiful house in Welches

The house is very large and well maintained. The hot tub is very nice with lots of jets and it holds 6 people easily. The kitchen is well stocked and there are plenty of spices and a bottle of olive oil. The beds are comfortable, although the downstairs bedroom is next to the heat pump which makes a very loud noise.Our only problem was that the house had not been heated so it was cold enough, even after the heater had been on for 7 hours, that some of the family members had to wear jackets and woolen caps. Even the next day it was only 68 degrees in the house. The owner communicated well and offered to send out someone to reprogram the heater but I did not see the message until returning from The Mountain late in the afternoon. By then it was warm enough in the house, 24 hours after moving in. But I would still recommend this house if you are staying at Mt. Hood. You just have to remind the owner to turn on the heater the day before .

Beautiful, quiet, comfortable home 20 minutes from Timberline

This house was very spacious, clean, and had modern fixtures. The neighborhood is quiet and the yard is beautiful. 10/10 would stay here again and would recommend. We towed a trailer with gear out to OR from CO. It was a bit difficult backing a trailer into the driveway but it’s doable.

Big house. Little hot water.

This house is amazing. It’s beautiful. It’s spacious. We loved cooking dinner in the kitchen and sitting around the big table. We enjoyed the big living area with fireplace and of course the hot tub was a favorite. I would have given 5 stars BUT after a day on the slopes all we wanted was a hot shower. Only 2 of us could have a hot shower right away. The others had to wait hours for the tank to fill up to have a hot shower which was such a bummer after snowboarding all day. The house has 3 beautiful big full bathrooms with showers and says it can sleep 14 people! It really needs a bigger water heater. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Weekend Away

Walking into this house blew my mind. It was stunning and had an incredible view. Even with knowing how many the house could sleep, we were floored at how spacious it was! The property manager was extremely accommodating and understanding about a circumstance that was beyond our control and saved the trip for a few of our friends.. What a magical place and made for a wonderful weekend. We would love to return and were thinking about making this a once to twice a year visit. Thank you so much for having our family and for providing such a beautiful getaway. We all loved it!
