Hot tub was dirty, no key to the sauna, and didn’t have everything we needed in the kitchen
Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 19 July 2026
Thank you for staying with us and for the review. I’m sorry your stay didn’t earn five stars. Our team did treat and clean the hot tub before your arrival, I'm sorry you found it lacking. I shared your concerns with the team so they can review the photos of their clean that day and find where they might improve. The sauna is not available for guest use and we do not include it as an amenity on our home's listing page. I'm sincerely sorry there was any confusion on that point and we'll do better to make that clearer to future guests. And finally, we'd love to know more about what we could add to the kitchen to make it better for our renters. Please don't hesitate to let us know what we can add! Thank you for the feedback — please message us through the Vrbo app if you’d like to share any additional details.

A perfect start to the summer!

We had a blast at this cabin over the weekend. The river access is absolutely amazing. Even though it was raining we thoroughly enjoyed spending time by the river during our stay. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed (except black pepper, but we survived). We would love to stay here again for our annual trip to Mt. Hood to start the summer!

Very relaxing!

We had a great time. The sound of the river was so relaxing and our kids absolutely loved everything about it! Our only complaint was that we had to wash the comforters on two of the beds, because they were not clean. We would definitely stay again though and overall had an amazing time.

Sandy River retreat

The place is as advertised. Our only issues were that when it came to using the bbq grill there was not enough propane to cook the meal for our group so it took a lot longer having to bring everything in from outside. Also, the shower needs work. It is very small and does not drain so your feet are sitting in water the whole time. They did have great towels unlike so many vrbos and a very well stocked kitchen with lots of extra utensils for home cooks. We brought a few things from home expecting they would not have them, but they did. Would stay again.

Riverwoods Lodge

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, a really great place. Was quite happy with the stay. It's a beautiful, secluded property. Some possible improvements: the directions to the lodge are a little bit hard to follow, especially at night. You have to ignore a couple of 'no trespassing' signs and the actual signage along the driveway is difficult to spot. The gas grill is located in the carport, which is a bit inconvenient. Clearly, fire danger dictates the location. It would be nice if there were a more social spot for it.
Response from VrboOwner on 1 September 2023
We are happy that you enjoyed your vacation at the Riverwoods Lodge. Thank you for the comments about the directions to the cabin; we can work on some additional signage. We agree that the BBQ could be located closer to the backyard, however you are right it is on the gravel area for safety reasons.

Cute cabin and location!

We love staying at cabins and have stayed at multiple in this area. After the big ice/snow storm we had it was the perfect getaway. Lots of trees feel on the road to the house but it was all cleared by the time we arrived so we can drive thru. We liked the home overall but there are some cleanliness needs that probably should be addressed. The home was cleaned for the most part. However, there is a fan in the kitchen above the dining table that was caked with dust. I understand dust happens. But it was right above where we shared all out meals. We took it upon ourselves to find the duster, a vacuum and some wet wipes. Besides that, we enjoyed out stay :) We shared lots of laughs, played card games, made yummy food and chilled. The TV can be hooked to Netflix so we ejoyed some movies. The upstairs is loud. You can hear all the creaking when walking but then again, some people it doesn't bother. The river close by is amazing to watch.

Gorgeous riverfront location!

This home is absolutely gorgeous and the location cannot be beat. I'm glad that we drove to the house during the day since the driveway is pretty long and rural. The home itself is quite large and has plenty of bedrooms. The kitchen is very well stocked with cooking pans as well. It was a nice touch to have dish soap and dishwasher tabs as well so we didn't need to bring any. The beds were comfy, and sheets quite nice as well. I would recommend a deep clean for the house, I know the home is in the woods so there will always be things like spider webs but I would expect the spider webs around the window at the kitchen sink to be dusted. The second floor is definitely squeaky as well but it's not an issue if everyone is on the same schedule. Hot tub is well maintained and very clean, very relaxing at the end of the day. Since the riverfront gazebo is such a huge selling point for this property, it might be worthwhile to make the path to the gazebo a little more clear. I know that's a consistent effort but I might have missed it if we weren't paying attention. I'd also be aware of the bathrooms, the upstairs bathroom has a tub only and the downstairs has an antique clawfoot tub that's been converted to a shower. If you have mobility issues, even minor ones, you'll need to take extra care getting in or out of the only available shower.

A true sanctuary, just right in every possible way

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When I pulled in to this place my heart began to swell with delight and anticipation.I loved the privacy, the sounds of the river from my bed. I appreciate that the owners are clearly dog lovers and trust that renters can care for a home with their dogs at their side. The woodsy river setting was just perfect. It was a heavenly sancuary and I left feeling restored and at peace. I haven't slept so well in a long while and loved soaking in the tub under the canopy of trees through the skylight in the master bedroom as well as the hot tub. The house is beautifully decorated with old snowshoes, fishing baskets and cross country skis that made it feels like a real mtn. retreat, just as intended. I loved that instead of having an game animal mounted on the wall, they put a stuffed animal moose head which had me laughing outloud. We enjoyed our stay so much that I look forward to my return in the summer.
