The place was right on the river which was beautiful and it had everything that we would need. It was clean and pretty roomy for my family and I to spend the weekend there and we absolutely loved it! We’re already trying to make another trip out here!

What a magical place. Just what this busy mom of 3 needed to clear my mind and relax for a couple of days. I wish I could stay longer! I will be back

Incredible nice place
Here is incredible nice place to take a rest with family. Especially river side location is beautiful and nearest access for the fishing. Owner is also very kind and friendly. I would like to come back here again in different season.

Actually we never made it to the property because of forest fires! the Owner was great, though, in updating us, in spite of what must have been a heartbreaking ordeal to find out if the cabins were still there. (fortunately yes!)

Nice place to stay
Excellent place to stay. Really comfortable and great views. Randy is great to communicate with and very helpful.
A few things to note:
Bring your own coffee and filters. They have a machine.
There is a very steep drive way down to the homes.
Both bedrooms are in the loft. You have to walk through one to get to the other which is a little weird but very manageable. The only bathroom is downstairs.
This is one of the most welcoming homes I have ever walked into. The vibe is inviting and peaceful. The house is so great just the way it is. I wouldn't change a thing!
This home was in a prime location if you want to see Crater Lake and visit some beautiful waterfalls all in the same day! We loved the location right on the river, It was beautiful. We enjoyed the river and the wildlife, literally steps from the house. Randy went above and beyond To make sure we enjoyed our stay.
Per my teenage daughter - this place deserves an 11 out of 10.
I was nervous based on some of the reviews. It seems like people loved it or hated it. Here is what I think about the negative issues:
Directions: you will he told to call Randy for instructions. He will tell you the lockbox number and how to find the house. Listen to him! You won’t find it just with google maps. The people complaining about not know how to find it/ get in, must not have called him.
Driveway: it is very steep, but definitely doable, even in our rented hybrid sedan. However, I would not want to do it in the dark, especially the first time. Make sure you arrive before sunset. The point of this place is the view of the river, so you should be there in daylight anyway.
Decor: yes, it is dated, but well kept and very clean. Kitchen was well stocked, and isn’t that more important than granite countertops?
Doors between bedrooms: this a one bedroom plus loft without a soundproof door between the beds. Probably would be awkward for two couples who want their space, but great for a family with kids.
Bottom line: we would definitely stay here again. Comfy beds, nice deck, decent WiFi.
Great location...river right outside...would visit again

Booked two weeks at River Vista vacation homes.Very misrepresented. Was under the assumption it was a three bedroom. Two beds in a loft separated by a folding door and a hide abed in the living room. No internet or phone service. I have me own business and can't be out of contact for two weeks. I only stayed five days and left. Wouldn't stay there 24 hours if it was free.
Staying at River Vista was the best place we stayed in during touring Oregon. We stayed in the middle of 3 cottages and I think it is the best one. The location is extraordinary - it is literally on the river, overlooking a beautiful natural pool which is swimmable. The porch is overlooking the site and sitting there is like watching a nature documentary - we saw a bold eagle, a family of otters, different water birds, jumping fish...and no mosquitos, even in the evening. Plus there's a blackberry galore around the cabin. It is also a very convenient location for exploring Umpqua valley - many great hikes within driving distance. The cabin itself is nice, with fully equipped kitchen. Wi-fi is very weak though, so don't count on it.
The only drawback is a rather shabby and sad-looking trailer site between the cottage and the road, but you don't really see it, so overall the place is highly recommendable.
I would definitely like to go back there and stay longer than 2 nights.
Beautiful view and right on the river. Three cabins close together, but still private. You could walk out on a large rock on the river. You can hear the creek when the windows are open. Stayed in Madrone which had the largest deck. Upstairs was 1 Queen bedroom with double vented doors and a loft next to it with a Queen bed. Downstairs was the bathroom and 2 pull out couches and a full kitchen. Owner was friendly and informative. Be sure to call him for check in info a few days before arrival.
Beautiful house and the lake ! Access to lake is awesome and you can sit on the rock listening to the sounds of water flow. The water is deep though so no beach type of access for kids to play. House is great except that Wifi doesn’t work. The owner said he is working on it. Other than that, it’s a great vacation home if you don’t really need Wifi. The owner is a nice person. He stopped by and asked if we need anything and answered any questions around the place , house etc
Very beautiful river view with nice vaulted high ceilings. Wi-fi wasn't working or the microwave but everything else was perfect. We plan on staying there again in the summer :)
