About this property

Salmon River Waterfront Cabin w/ Hot Tub! Dog Friendly!

Nestled right on the banks of the pristine Salmon River, our updated and restored Mt. Hood cabin sits on a private 1/2 acre amid old growth forest. At the cabin you experience what it feels like to be away from it all, with the sound of river and the sights and smells of the forest.
Our idyllic cabin boasts a full covered front porch featuring a custom-built outdoor dining table and Adirondack chairs. Additionally, there is the covered side patio with hot tub and gas BBQ. Inside you will find a beautiful river rock fireplace with woodstove, knotty pine wood walls, a fully updated/stocked kitchen and comfortable beds.
This is your gateway cabin to all the adventuring your heart desires: ski the slopes, mountain bike the Sandy Ridge Trail system, or hike any number of beautiful trails through old growth forests. If relaxation is more up your alley, our cabin has you covered too. Sit by the river, soak in the hot tub, relax with a good book by the wood burning stove, play a board game, complete a puzzle or spin some vinyl on the vintage stereo. We also offer smart T.V. and high-speed WiFi for streaming your favorite shows or if need be, to complete some work.

Amazing stay!

We absolutely loved our stay! We traveled to the area with our three older boys (18-23) and loved every minute of it. The record player was used daily and we spent a great deal of time outside, playing cards and enjoying the river. Thank you!

This is a lovely cabin! The river-front location is amazing. Very private yet easily accessible. We traveled for a ling weekend away with 6 women - easily accommodated in the 3 bedrooms. It was amazing to have 3 bathrooms! The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. It was a great kitchen to cook in! This is a cozy cabin and it stayed lovely and cool with windows open in the summer (it has AC but we didn't need it). We spent tons of time on the gorgeous front porch which has comfy chairs and a great dining table too. The seating area by the river is great and you can get down a path to the river easily. We'd recommend this place and hope to stay here again!

Place was great. If you plan on fishing, do it at dusk. Teenage son liked the record player. Wish it wasn't the dry season so we could have had a fire. Coming from the midwest, the lack of bugs was a welcome surprise.

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. The surroundings are beautiful and very peaceful. The cabin is well-equipped and has everything you need! And what a nice, sharp set of knives. The water pressure in the shower is amazing, and the showerhead is nice and high — great for us tall Europeans.Some downsides would be that the cleaning isn't done properly, both inside and outside. There are lots of cobwebs under the canopy and between the windows and screens. Nothing in the cabin is level, like the fridge, doors, or the washing machine, which makes it so the door can’t stay open and it gets moldy. We would also appreciate having curtains in the living room and bathroom. But overall very happy!

Awesome Cabin

Perfect location. Very secluded, but less than a mile from restaurants and grocery store. We spent the majority of the time at the fire pit overlooking the river. The cabin was very large and could accommodate multiple families.

Great quiet stay by the river

Super cute cabin to get away from it all. Right in the river too. We spent most of our time down at the fire pit by the river. The cabin is good too. One hundred year old property but well maintained and updated. Only tv is upstairs which is fine with us as we were not there for tv. Quiet area, but close to a few restaurants and a grocery store. Will for sure stay here again! Also, owner was very quick with responding back. Was construction on what looks like a new garage going on, but nothing was being worked on while we were there.

This was the 2nd time we stayed in this property, it’s so lovely. Loving the upgrades that has been made outside. It was better than the first time. This time I brought my family with me and they loved it as well. Everything was stocked well and was very clean. We will return a third time .

Cozy Cabin

This place is a gem. Close to town while still feeling quite remote. Very cozy with many amenities. While it was a bit cold and wet to enjoy the beautiful firepit seting by the river, we still enjoyed our stay immensely. Will probably book again in the spring/summer

Home away from home!

This property was ideal for our quick visit to the mountain. We brought our friends from England who wanted to see snow! The location by the Salmon River was perfect! We enjoyed the short drive to Timberline and cocktails by the firepit each evening!

Perfect Getaway

The cabin was perfect for a weekend getaway with friends. It is simultaneously cozy and plenty spacious for a group. We played games and listened to the awesome record collection. One highlight was a completely functional and stocked kitchen that allowed us to cook shared meals all weekend. The location is wonderful, tucked in the woods right by the river, but only a two minute drive to the grocery store. Vince was attentive and great at communicating info during our stay. This was one of the better rentals I have experienced. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Vince Onstad

Host profile image
Having grown up in Montana I have a great appreciation for the mountains and being outdoors. In the early 2000's I was living in Alaska flying bush planes where I met my future wife who also shares my love of mountains. She moved to Portland to finish her degree and I followed. We ended up settling in Portland and started a family! With two young kids we decided it was time to get back to our mountain roots and we purchased the cabin. We love coming to it year-round as every season has something to offer.

Why they chose this property

Simply put, it's awesome! I realized the moment I pulled in the driveway it was the one. I really didn't feel like I needed to see the inside of the cabin, the location alone was enough for me. As it was, the cabin needed some love and I have since carefully brought it back to life, while honoring its original features. It is truly a magical place that I love taking my friends and family for any reason and I think you will too!

What makes this property unique

The cabin is an original that cannot be recreated. It has a sense of seclusion and privacy while being so close to all the mountain amenities.
