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

This house has it all. The location is in a quiet highly wooded area with a beautiful stream in the backyard. We kept windows open just to hear the relaxing sound of the babbling stream. There is also a jacuzzi and fire pit which add to the activities the house offfers. Also a basketball game in the garage and a game room we did not even have time to use. The kitchen is fully appointed with plenty of dishes, utensils and everything else. We were quite happy they had salt, pepper, oil, sugar and some spices which made cooking a lot more convenient. We ate meals inside and outside on the picnic table. The beds are comfy with plenty of linens. The only thing to be made aware is there are only 2 full baths in this house with all of these bedrooms. One in the master and one upstairs. Showering required scheduling. You are relatively close to fruit loop, Multnomah Falls, Bonnevile dam (45-60 minutes). We would all stay here again. It is a great property. I also need to mention that Vacasa was responsive to 2 issues we had and resolved them.

Home with a stream in the backyard.

First let me talk about the amenities at this home. There are spacious bedrooms with great bedding. All the appliances are working, the washing machine does an okay job. The property is located in a very wooded, remote area which contributes to lots of privacy. There is a beautiful stream in the back yard that babbles. We left the doors open most of the evenings and night just to hear the stream. We were here in . end of July and ate all our meals outside on the spacious porch. Nights were spent in the jacuzzi or playing games in the garage. We never turned on the TV so do not know if or how it worked. Only one thing to note: there are only 2 full bathrooms. One upstairs for 3 bedrooms to share (that is 8 people) and the master downstairs. There is a half bath downstairs. Just know when booking showers will need to be scheduled. The location of the house was almost perfect for us. It seemed everything we wanted to see or do was 1 hour away - Multnomah Falls, Fruit Loop, Bonneville Dam although Mt. Hood is about 30 minutes away. This was the perfect family get together home with plenty of space to be together or sit and read by yourself.

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!

Fabulous property!

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.

Great house

Our stay was great. The house was clean and had many entertaining things to do with the family. The game room in the garage had a bad internet signal, but other than this everything was great. the kitchen was fully stocked with all you need to have a nice vacation which usually not the case in these rental properties.

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.
