Very nice place to relax. The cabin has a good location. It's a few minutes drive to a store or other businesses. The only sound you hear is nature and the river. The host is quick to respond if you have any questions. The yard is small so that that may be an issue for some people however there are many recreation activities available with a short drive of the place. The cabin is an excellent value for the money. If you want a clean, comfortable and relaxing vacation spot that won't break the bank this is definitely a place to check out.

Very comfortable place to relax! Everything you need is there. Very clean and tidy! No cable/satellite. But had other options to use on TV. The river is stunning from the deck.

Charming retreat right next to the river. It was lovely to listen to the river as I drank my coffee. I imagine in the summer it’s even better. We cooked a Thanksgiving meal and the home was stocked with everything we could possibly need to cook with. The home is well kept and clean. The communication with owner was quick and clear.

The property was easy to get to and well equipped. We enjoyed how quaint and cozy the house was. The view was very beautiful, often we would either be on the back deck or inside with the door open with the screen. We could easily see staying there again.

Family getaway

The Rauch cabin was a very peaceful place to stay during our visit from California. Everything was easy and seamless, from booking to directions. The kitchen was well stocked and labeled and the deck was the perfect place to enjoy coffee in the morning.

Mt Hood Skiing Trip

We enjoyed our stay here. It was pouring rain most of the time, so the wood stove was greatly appreciated and made the living space very cozy. This property was clean and well kept. The communication with the owner was very good. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Dixon Rauch

Host profile image
Owned by the three Rauch brothers; inherited from our parents who enjoyed the place for many years. We're natives of Portland and have been coming to the Mt Hood and Welches are all our lives.

Why they chose this property

A family second home for over 30 years, we are all busy guys so we love to rent it out to others.

What makes this property unique

A great, cozy, comfortable house, great year round. In the winter, there is nothing better than sitting by the wood stove and reading or playing games or watching a movie - unless it's the summer when it's hard to beat sitting on the deck right above the Salmon River and watching and listening as it goes by; with a great view of the tree covered mountains across the river. Very peaceful and comfortable for a short or long getaway. And all the activity you could wish for within miles: golf, hiking, fishing, biking, skiing, and more.
