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!

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.

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.

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

Beautiful location.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely cabin. Purpose was for a family reunion. The Mt. Hood area has so much to see and do! Great location. Cabin sits on the bank of the Salmon River. Close to lors of hikes. Maybe 20-30 min. to Mt. Hood.We had 1 hiccup with the cabin. Owners did not notify us that there was ongoing construction. They are adding a garage w/loft. I would not have booked if I had known ahead of time. Owner compensated 100 and stopped construction for our stay. Kitchen was extremely well stocked and they have a great LP collection.We brought our own, but they had plenty of firewood available. There is a little grocery store about 10 minutes away. Very private and serene. Would stay here again.

Beautiful cabin. The rhododendrons were in bloom making the landscaped property really shine. We really enjoyed sitting out on the large deck that had both a large dining table and a separate seating area with Adirondack chairs. The inside of the cabin was beautiful and very relaxing. The king bedroom on the ground floor was quite large with an attached bathroom containing laundry machines and a walkin-in shower. The queen bedroom on the ground floor was fairly small, but did its job :). The main bathroom on the ground floor also has a walkin shower, making it very easy for my 75 year old mother in law to get in and out. The kitchen is fully stocked and roomy. Barbecuing was great right outside the kitchen. The third Queen bedroom on the second floor required going up steep stairs with no risers, so save that for the young and able. There is a 3rd full bath on the second floor as well. The firepit overlooking the river was very enjoyable. The path down to the river was too steep for my MIL, but enjoyable for the rest of us.

The perfect getaway cabin

Look no further if you want a perfect cabin getaway. This cabin had everything we needed and more. We especially appreciated the access to firewood, two fire pits, a hot tub, and the riverfront property. We celebrated my birthday here, which was perfect because the cabin had a huge assortment of vinyl records and games to play. We had everything we needed for relaxation and for entertainment.

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.
