Up to 12 guests are accommodated in five bedrooms. Four have king-size beds and the fifth bedroom has a queen-size and two twin-size beds.
Other amenities include a private washer/dryer and a wrought-iron bench overlooking the river on the backyard nature path.

Second time staying at this house with three generations of family. Very clean and everything you might need in the kitchen for a large group. We especially like having multiple king beds, the hot tub and a lovely view of the river.
House was beautiful and very spacious. Would recommend staying here if you have a large group.

Perfect for family
This home was perfect for our group of 12. We enjoyed preparing many good meal's in the well equipped kitchen and spread out at the dining table and deck to enjoy good food, conversation, laughter and the sun setting through the trees. The location is perfect for nearby hiking, sightseeing, shopping, dining, touring and enjoying this beautiful mountain

Great place!
Beautiful home, lovely view of the Salmon River. Would recommend.
This property was beautiful inside and out--the photos don't really do it justice. Plenty of room for everyone in a gorgeous setting. Would definitely stay here again!
One of the nicest, most blissful cabins I’ve ever stayed in. Clean property, clean hot tub, lots of towels and bathrooms for our group of 8-10!The sound of the river right outside is so calming and peaceful.Couple of things that could use repair-The lazy Susan cupboard was broken off, the dishwasher is off track or missing wheels? And the dining room window locks are loose and coming off.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience! We're so pleased you loved our home and are glad it was a perfect fit for your party. Our local manager assured us that the dishwasher must have been off track and is in good working order now. Additionally, the lock on the window and the lazy susan were repaired and we appreciate you bringing these details to our attention. We enjoyed having you as our guest and hope to host you again.

We are so glad this home was just perfect for the guest. We hope to host the guest soon! THANK YOU!
Great, cozy stay in a secluded cabin literally a stones throw from the river. Absolutely beautiful. Will stay again if in the area. Really have no complaints.
This house was very comfortable for our group of six adults and one infant. The location on the river is really nice and there are great hiking trails right up the road. Very close to Mt. Hood and there is a grocery store and restaurants close by. The property managers were very responsive to anything we needed. I would stay here again.
We loved everything about this property: the access to the river, the detached game room, the hot tub, high vaulted ceilings with views of the towering fir trees, proximity to great hikes, and spacious interior (slept 12 comfortably). Wish our stay could have been longer.
We enjoyed our stay at your home. The location was perfect. The furniture was showing wear and could use a little updating.

Salmon River Lodge
The places was perfect for our needs. Plenty of space to house our extended family and plenty of room to sit around and play games, prepare meals, and just relax. The hot tub is amazing and the view out to the river was beautiful. The house was clean and tidy, and looked well maintained. The decor was perfect for our ski weekend. We’d love to come back again!
