About this property

The "Belknap Cabin"

WOW! This nearly new cedar shake cabin is absolutely perfect with the hard wood floors, the knotty pine walls and ceilings, the large classic wood stove, the huge elevated deck with gas grill, the separate private sleeping areas, the fully equipped kitchen with full size appliances and the memories your gatherings will cherish forever!
Belknap Covered Bridge is located just west of the cabin, thus the name.
Enjoy this beautiful gem on the edge of the Willamette National Forest -- known for its multiple natural hot-springs, vast ancient lava flows, old growth forests and endless hiking and mountain biking options. There are several high cascade lakes scattered through the foothills of the Cascade Mountains that surround this Upper Mckenzie River Valley locale.
Look up The Willamette National Forest and you'll find lots of information about the many adventures your group can experience.
We recommend that you make sure you see The Blue Pool, Clear Lake, Sahalie Falls, Koosah Falls, Proxy Falls, Scott Lake and Terwilliger Hot-Springs.
Tokatee Golf Course is minutes close and so are 3 nice restaurants for your dining pleasure. Bring the bikes, because King Rd and Rainbow Dr (Mckenzie River Dr) are wonderful biking roads with minimal slow traffic and huge views of the river and the Three Sisters Mountains to the east.
Feel free to contact Jonathan if you have any questions or need any referrals to services.

Comfort with a great river view

Beautiful well appointed "cabin" had everything we needed for a comfortable stay while fishing the river for four days. Great location for summer time fisher folks and rafters. We're talking about making this an annual event at the Belknap Cabin.

Quiet New Year Getaway

My husband and I discovered this little cabin several years ago before it was listed with VRBO. It became our favorite Anniversary getaway. Quiet, lots to do in the area and the cabin is super cozy. We brought our 3 girls for the New Year. They loved it! Will return again for some RNR.

Girl's Weekend

What a gem of a cabin. Every window had amazing views and you could hear the sound of the river throughout. Decorated super cute, very clean and well equipped. Beautiful well kept grounds. Great location very quiet and private. We cooked some meals in and enjoyed the kitchen. Great bathrooms with great water pressure. We all felt super relaxed throughout our stay. Great meals at Dakotas and Obsidian Grill. We soaked in the pool at Belknap Hot Springs and went on an amazing hike at Blue Pool.

The cabin the land around the cabin and the view were beautiful

We enjoyed our stay and the house and the area around the house were absolutely beautiful!!! I'm so glad it wasn't damaged in the fire. There were a few things that could be fixed or upgraded and it would have been even better. The bed was extremely hard and it smelled like skunk but I don't blame the owner for that. The WiFi did not work very well but Jonathan was very accommodating and even brought over a TV, he really did care about our needs. The back door is broken and should probably be fixed and it would have been more helpful if the description of this house had more detail as well as the cleaning safety information for COVID. All in all it's a very nice house and the view is gorgeous.

The location is great. The beds are good, but more for a family with kids vs. couples or all adults. Back deck towards the river is excellent to sit, visit, eat. Lots of room inside for the same if the weather is not good. Very relaxing, and worked well for our needs.

A "5 Star" EXPERIENCE!!

My friend and I stayed in the Belnap Cabin while we hiked the nearby trails around Clear Lake. We were blown away by the cabin's comfiness, location by the river, interior design, and amentities. We both decided that this was THE BEST VRBO place we've ever stayed and vowed to return in early Fall!

Always enjoy the "Belknap Cabin."

Everything was as advertised. Could use better internet in main floor bed and bathroom. Almost non existent there. It's excellent in the living room and upstairs bedroom.

Relax

The house was gorgeous and the view of the river was wonderful. The house is on a road where cars go a little fast, so if you are walking just be careful (no sidewalks). I found mouse poop which I understand happens this time of year. Beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean. Thank you.

We Belknap Cabin

An impromptu visit to Blue River, Oregon brought us back to the Belknap Cabin. It was so lovely to see this property during a late season snowstorm as our previous visit was during the middle of the summer. In both instances we couldn’t have picked a better destination and again, we will be back!

Beautiful Spot in Nature

I booked this beautiful Cabin for my husband and I to get away for his birthday. We wanted a spot close enough to the hot springs, and in nature, this was the perfect spot. The Host was very responsive and provided great information for the area as soon as we booked. Gorgeous views of the river from anywhere in the house, my favorite spots were the window nooks. If we are back in the area we would definitely book again, and hoping to bring family next time, as there was more than enough space for a few more.
