River Bend Retreat - Fireplace, Hot Tub, A/C, WiFi, Firepit, Riverfront

“Of approximately 179 miles of stream in the Boardman River Watershed, 36 are designated as “Blue Ribbon” trout habitat. These areas, located upstream of the Beitner Road crossing are premier fish habitat and important to anglers. Boardman River anglers have an important economic impact on the region. The entire watershed is also used for activities such as canoeing, tubing, kayaking, hiking, hunting, and bird watching. These uses make it a destination for an estimated 2 million Recreational User Days annually.” - theboardman.org

Positive review with hesitancy
The area is beautiful and very peaceful for walks. The layout of the upstairs especially is very comfortable. The host communicated with me quickly in the booking process. My reservations include the following: 1) 2 text attempts over 2 day to contact the host over TV audio connection were not responded to so my 3rd attempt in a phone call received the assistance of "Well wifi is unreliable out here." That may not have been the issue but that's the response given. 2) We wanted to keep the place cooler and after continuing to lower the temp through the thermostat with little luck, the solution shared by the host was to open the windows-which we did for 5 days. 3) The stove burners were frustratingly inconsistent in heating, the oven cooked a salmon 1 night but would not heat the roast through (after 45 mins. at 450 deg) the following night; the coffee pot also did not work consistently in heating water. The host did okay our bringing a well trained do and we definitely had a cleaning fee to cover that exception. Overall, a lovely location and a little disappointed in the end.
