Summary:

Salmon River Lodge



The Space:

This spacious Welches vacation lodge is perfect for your next family getaway to wild and wonderful Mt. Hood! Welcoming up to 12 guests, its amenities include an outdoor hot tub, a great game room, and access to skiing, hiking, fishing, and general communing in the great outdoors!



Located in a peaceful wooded neighborhood far from city noise, this home is the perfect place to unwind and unplug, whether it's for the weekend or an entire week. But, if you'd like to be active, bring your golf clubs for 18 holes at Three Nines Golf Course just up the road, or bring your ski gear for fun runs and challenging terrain at any of Mt. Hood's three ski resorts (Skibowl, 13 miles west; Timberline, 20 miles west; or Mt. Hood Meadows, 25 miles west).



This home features large rooms filled with leather and wood furnishings, as well as modern conveniences, including updated appliances, a gas fireplace, WiFi throughout, and cable and DVD-equipped television.



Head outside to find an expansive backyard deck with seating for al fresco dining and a nearby covered outdoor hot tub. Just beyond the property lies the picturesque Salmon River, and it's just a short walk along a nature path to arrive at its rocky banks.



You'll have everything needed to whip up homemade meals, along with indoor seating at a six-seat dining table. There's even a gas grill for summertime barbecues.



When you're not off exploring the wilderness surrounding this home, a game room provides plenty of indoor entertainment with a card table, a bar area, a foosball table, and a TV.



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.



Local attractions include Government Camp's village, which has quaint shops and country stores, hikes in the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness (a main trailhead is just down the street), and spa/wellness services at the Spa at Mt. Hood.



A quintessential mountain home with plenty of creature comforts, book this Mt. Hood vacation rental for an unforgettable stay in Welches!

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

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.

Great location

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.

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!
