Great location and the house was accommodating. The only change I would suggest is to offer a larger TV. Although television was not the main attraction, after a long day of hiking, walking, etc it was nice to veg in front of the TV after our evening meal. The TV is too small and not located in a position to be readily and easily watched.

We absolutely loved the screened off patio so we could sit outside and continue enjoying the sounds of the river when the mosquitos would come out in the evening. We spent the majority of our time there or the deck. It was so beautiful and peaceful. We never used the TV but it was small so be aware of that if you want to use it.

We had a wonderful stay at the Belknap House. Everything is even more beautiful than the photos depict. The instructions were easy to follow and the owners were super responsive to any questions or minor issues that arose during our stay. I would highly recommend this property for a visit to McKenzie Bridge.

Memorial day weekend with friends at the Belknap House

We enjoyed our stay at the Belknap house. Jonathan was quick with answering all the questions we had before our trip, the house was clean, well maintained and is situated right on the river side with exceptional views. I would definitely like to come back and stay here again in the future.

Lovely setting, well-equipped kitchen and living areas. We were very comfortable. Only a few minor recommendations: matches and paper for fire-starting in wood stove; Kleenex; more transparency about available sleeping areas - there were no mattresses on the sleeping porch beds. Otherwise it was perfect for our memorial gathering.

Excellent stay!

We would’ve loved to have the hot tub available. It overlooks the river in such a neat setting and every time we looked out tear the back deck, the hot tube was a constant reminder. We also wish there was a bathroom to use without invading someone’s bedroom.

Location was exactly what we wanted - right on the river. It’s gorgeous here and very conveniently located. McKenzie Bridge is a special place and this property was fabulous. We visited the area to experience the nature, and we were not disappointed. We’ll be back

Lovely home, beautiful setting

This is a great home for enjoying the river and for access to the McKenzie Forest. I would highly recommend springing the extra cash for washer/dryer use, which also grants access to the very nice screened porch with its table and two twin beds. Also, you may consider bringing house slippers or some socks, as the owners do not want shoes worn in the house. Overall, a great stay and would definitely return.

Girlfriends weekend

Absolutely beautiful property, no doubt! Was disappointed that the hot tub was locked, although it was in the pictures. Couldn’t figure out where the seventh and eighth person would sleep. And did not love the single ply…

Response from VrboOwner on 28 January 2024
We're all on septic up here in the forest, so we do use the appropriate tp. We've actually grown to appreciate it because at least it doesn't crumble. People learn of the existence of the hot-tub when they arrive. There are no pictures or mention of the owner only hot-tub area because of the potential liability of people being "on vacation" mentally, and hurting themselves or the property during its use. It's never been available to guests either, so confusion on this issue is hard to understand. Of course, it's locked. If you read the description to the property, it also states that the base rate covers the first 4 guests and that additional areas of the home can be made available by adding guests and paying a small fee per extra guest. That way, smaller groups can achieve smaller rates by using smaller portions of the home. Larger groups can appropriately arrange the space they need to sleep upto 8 (upto 6 in the coldest of months). People who only tell us they have 2 to 4 guests and then think they'll just bring 8 people up here anyway, soon discover the error of that attempt. All of these stated "issues" are known by all renting guests prior to their booking and definitely included again in our check in information. When those descriptions are ignored during the booking process - misunderstandings can occur. Please feel free to call Jonathan prior to booking if these concepts appear to be unclear - we're always available. This is quite possibly, the nicest riverfront home in the area. Enjoy it.
