About this property

Listen to the River Sing on Rillerah

HOME ON THE UPPER MCKENZIE RIVER.

Conveniently located half-way between Eugene and Bend, this comfortable vacation home is an easy place to relax and watch the river go by. With an unspoiled view of old-growth trees of your National Forest across the river, the osprey, water dippers, merganser ducks, fish, rafters and river boaters will provide hours of natural activity and entertainment.

Inside, the large, picture windows in the living room, dining room and master bedroom keep you an arms length from the river and let you enjoy the beauty at all times of the day.

Second stay, everything my group needed was there. If you have a golf group for Tokatee and need a great place right on the river and 3 minutes from the course, this is it!

Gorgeous cabin on the river!

Jaw dropping property and cabin, photos don’t do it justice. Everything was wonderful aside from a few minor issues that management was very responsive to. Thanks for accommodating our dog last minute! Only real suggestion would be to add a WiFi amplifier so that the signal reaches all parts of the cabin and front porch.

Fieldwork base camp

We were a group of geology professors and students doing volcanologic fieldwork nearby. This house was an ideal location to serve as a base for that work.

Lovely house on the river

Amazing location, river and views. Master bedroom to die for. The house was beautiful and well equipped. We loved the patio to sit and hang out in. Overall great stay. The wifi was spotty but we figured out the issue after calling the property manager.

Peaceful River Getaway

We stayed 11 days at the lovely Rillerah! The river was super close, and fun to try and catch fish! We cooked most all of our meals in the well equipped kitchen. The beds and linens were comfortable. Other places we've stay were wildfire casualties, so we were very pleased to find the Rillerah and hope to return again next year! Thanks Terry and Mike.

Beautiful McKenzie River Home

The river is right next to the house! Wonderful to hear it all day and night. The house is lovely with comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, and huge windows looking out over the river. Everything is well stocked and clean. And, the covered porch and picnic area are fabulous. We’ll stay again in a heartbeat!

My family and I really enjoyed the place. Listening to the river and the rain gave me the best sleep in a long time. Out of the way enough to enjoy the forest and relax; but close enough to Bend and Eugene for fun. Check out the last Blockbuster in the World in Bend, Oregon.

Perfect spot on the river

This was a great spot for two families of four to enjoy a week on the McKenzie River. We were able to do a day float from Frissel, leave our boats in the water at the house and go down the river to Finn Rock the next day. The dining room and porch were fantastic for hanging out and watching the river. With plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked for making meals. We overall really enjoyed our time at Rillerah

The house is located on a secluded lot right on the McKenzie River. It literally lulls you to sleep at night. The home is extremely comfortable and well stocked. I stayed with 8 members of my fly fishing club and every one loved the amenities and location of the home with everyone agreeing that we would like to stay there again. Two things that we noticed that need attention. The first being that the necessary pages of instructions for the wood stove in the living room were missing from the book, I believe pages 19-22. The second issue was the water. The water smells and tastes bad. We tried letting it run to see if there was an issue with the pipes but it didn’t help. It’s all the faucets upstairs and down. When someone took a shower the entire bathroom smelled and you didn’t really feel or smell clean. After the first day we cooked with and drank bottled water. People limited their showers as well. I hope that the water issue can be addressed. Again, the home is comfortable and someone put a lot of thought into making sure that guests have everything they need. We would definitely recommend the home and hope to stay here again. It is close to a store, restaurants and gas station. There is ample space for 1/2 dozen vehicles. Truly a beautiful home.

Jill, Thank you for your comments and your appreciation of the Rillerah. Our apologies about the water situation. We have learned that the well level is closely tied to the river level, which has been unusually low this year. Out of concern, we have had the water tested and verified it is safe. Thank you again.

Rillerah review

Beautiful setting, peaceful, private. House exterior in decent shape. Interior space with lovely wood floors, walls and ceilings. Furniture is oldish, but comfortable. There are beautiful antique furniture pieces in all rooms and lamps everywhere, as well as interesting artwork, artifacts and memorabilia on the walls. The house does have some low spots, natural settling I would guess, that can make you list to one side when walking in certain areas. My major criticism would be that the bathrooms, and the kitchen, need major overhauling. The kitchen desperately needs a new refrigerator and oven. The drawers were so junky with utensils that it was hard to find what you needed. Also, even though the house has WiFi, the signal was weak in the living room and almost nonexistent on the beautiful patio. An inexpensive WiFi extender would fix that. One last thing. The house is on septic and, unfortunately, the water didn’t smell great at times. That seemed to resolve the more the water was circulated with use. Despite the above criticisms, I would rent this house again, due to the location, privacy, and many outdoor activities close by.

This would be a great spot for a summer or winter get away. The house has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. That is a dream come true! It was comfy and cozy during our four day stay over Thanksgiving weekend. I cannot give this property enough praise! Everything was just perfect!
