We appreciate you and hospitality and welcoming us into your home and our time of grieving for our loss of our loved one we appreciate your kindness in patience with us
Jacob was very accommodating, thoughtful and helpful. From supplying fire wood for our fire pit to beautiful lighting to enhance the ambiance of a beautiful home in the woods. We were a group of 4 and we had more room than we needed but enjoyed every minute. The view is beautiful and the sunset was amazingly gorgeous. The landscaping is beautiful too! Loved our visit to the Mt. Hood area!
This is one of the best properties we’ve stayed at. Not only was it exactly as listed, but had everything you could possibly need. Check in was easy and we were even allowed to check in early. We’re already looking at when we can go back!
We were very impressed with this home. Beautiful and spacious for 6 adults and 5 children. Enough room for everyone to have their space, yet cozy enough for family gatherings. Gorgeous views, close to Governmental Camp. Definitely a10.
The pictures doesn't do justice, wake up early and have a cup if coffee in the back patio with the clouds passing by, or by the mini japanese zen garden witht he waterfall in the back ground, the home is warm and comfortable, the little art decor around the home is beautiful, everything you need to cook is in the kitchen,the bathrooms are 5 star, try the sauna, do a fire and watch the most beautiful sunset, the host are qick to respond and respectful. Thank you jake for letting us stay at your beautiful home.
We had a wonderful time and the location exceeded our expectations. Lots of outdoor furniture with great views from every angle. Our family found loved the private, peaceful setting and large spaces with home activities. In the evenings we used the fire pit and admired the sunsets, followed later by the sauna. Our hosts were made everything very easy, and responded to us with just a phone call when we had a question. Five Stars all around!! Thank you for sharing your place with us!
Jake was very communicative and super helpful ahead of and during our stay. The home really felt like a home, not a property treated like a hotel: it was cozy, comfortable, and inviting with fun activities and games available. The view is stunning and the big windows made us feel like we were in a treehouse. Everything we needed was supplied and easy to find. It’s just down the street from a popular hiking trail we love and only about 25 min from Timberline Lodge where we went to find some snow! The artwork and plants were beautiful and the wood ceilings, furniture; and trim felt so homey. The house has very good energy and is clearly loved. We will be back!
Beautiful home with amazing views. House was very clean everything we needed. Kitchen with stocked nicely. Lots of spices for cooking. Very family friendly and pet friendly. Garage had lots of room was nice to be able to park our motorcycles in there. Host was very friendly very informative giving us tips of what to do where to go. We look forward to visiting again.
We used this property for our Thanksgiving holiday in 2021. We live in MT while our adult children and their families live in PDX. Since the pandemic wreaked havoc on our prior year gatherings, we decided to make a long weekend out of this years. This property is a piece of heaven. Careful thought has been given to the slightest of details in making your stay relaxing and enjoyable. The views from the deck and the fire pit are breathtaking. The amenities accommodated 6 adults and pets very comfortably. The kitchen was stocked with everything the cooks needed to prepare our holiday feast. Though there is an abundance of local activities to keep you occupied we found hanging out and enjoying the property as a family to be the most rewarding. Everyone agreed it was in the top 5 of family holiday get-togethers. Looking forward to using this place again very soon.
