This was a great house for a fall getaway. If only we could have stayed longer! The house is secluded and woodsy, the sound of the Salmon River providing a perfect soundscape. The hot tub was ideal after hiking.

Very happy with our stay. Host answered any questions we had. Hot tub was hot and relaxing. There was also a fire pit in the back yard. The house is close walking distance to the river. My only suggestions would be to include larger trash cans in the bathrooms so you don’t risk clogging the toilets on accident.

Excellent stay

I will start by saying we stay in rental properties several times a year and this is by far the cleanest well taken care of property we have stayed it. It is clear the owners very much take extra care of their property and we are great full they shared with us for a couple nights. The sound of the river were amazing and the entire family enjoyed our stay. Thanks for being a great host.

Tranquil Getaway

Just book this property. You won't be disappointed. Secluded spot, hot tub, trail to nearby stream. We saw a deer, it was absolutely rejuvenating. We enjoyed the Mt. Hood Adventure park. So much fun!

Great location and beautiful home and property!

It’s a great location…close to Portland and also Mr Hood. The house is beautiful with all the supplies we could need. We loved the proximity to the river and the lovely wooded property. We had our coffee on the front porch and watched a doe and her fawns walk through the woods. We’re talking about when we could come back and stay again!

We are already planning our next stay!

What an amazing experience! We truly enjoyed staying at this beautiful cabin. Throughout the day and night all you hear is birds and the sound of the river. Which is so relaxing!The cabin was very clean, very well stocked with all the necessities and overall cozy. Some of our favorites things were how close the river is, hot tub, the 3 different levels that everyone can spread around, great wifi, being able to log in to Netflix/HDMI cable to connect devices, the outdoor grill, the board games, there is something for everyone to do, you will not get bored, perfect place to relax and comfortable couches. We were already looking into out next visit while being there and cant wait to enjoy the cabin with family again.We give this cabin 5+stars!

Great Location

This beautiful home was located in a quiet, secluded neighborhood at the end of a road. We enjoyed sitting by the Salmon River and listening to the sound of the water from the patio. The inside of the house was especially clean and the kitchen was equipped with essentials and more. The owner was very quick to respond with questions we had during our stay. We would definitely stay there again.
