About this property

The Mckenzie House w/ sauna & outdoor shower

The McKenzie House sits on 2.5 private acres on the banks of the majestic McKenzie River.

A fly fisherman's paradise and cyclist's dream destination. Nestled on a pristine stretch of river with easy and safe water access. Enjoy the riverside hot tub, riverview sauna and outdoor shower. Dine on the deck and BBQ with friends or family.

An on-site fly shop dedicated to guests includes fly rods and waders free to use as well as flies and everything needed to fish for wild rainbow trout right in front of the house. On-site fly fishing lessons and guided drift boat fishing are also available at an extra cost, with advanced notice.

Peloton and exercise space with river view as well as dedicated bike storage and cleaning shed.

Three bedrooms and a bunk room with space to sprawl out:

-Master BR with king opens to the deck and river

-Two queen bedrooms

-Bunk room with two queen beds on bottom and two extra long twins on top

Two full bathrooms, one with shower and one with shower/tub. Additional outdoor shower.

The space incudes full private access to over 2 acres of property including hot tub, sauna, outdoor shower, fly shop, bike cleaning station, riverfront, large lawn, volleyball court and more.

There is a complementary sister space at the front end of the property called the Fern Cabin & Kitchen. This unique rental includes a tiny A-frame cabin and open-air kitchen and dining space with a giant redwood slab dining table. The whole thing is available both as a separate neighboring rental or as a wonderful add-on to The McKenzie House. If you have a large group or would enjoy outdoor cooking or dining, consider renting both spaces together. If you're interested in adding the Fern Cabin & Kitchen to your stay, just let us know!

Wander the property's woods, stroll the meadow, pick blackberries, play volleyball or horseshoes, make s'mores on the campfire, picnic under the towering trees, swing over the water, nap in the hammock.

Walking distance to McKenzie Station Restaurant and McKenzie General Store & Obsidian Grill, and just down the road from Loloma Lodge.

Plenty of parking on the property and easy access just off of McKenzie Hwy.

There is a $85 pet fee per stay for up to two pets, and a $65 extra guest fee per person per night for each guest beyond 8. Please let us know if you're interested in custom pricing for larger groups or additional pets.

Note to pet owners: The sprawling property is a paradise for dogs, but the property is not fully fenced so plan accordingly.

Beautiful retreat on the river

We had a group of friends in town for a wedding. The house was everything you’d want in a vacation rental, and more! Would definitely recommend.

Perfect River Retreat!

Highly recommend this property. The house sits right on the river with beautiful views from the deck, living room and hot tub. The grounds are much larger than I thought with plenty of parking and room to play hard games / hang out outside. Also, it's easy walking distance to the McKenzie Bridge general store and restaurant. We loved our stay and will be back!

Absolutely breathe taking

I don’t think it’s even possible to explain this place in words. This is by far one of the greatest places we’ve stayed. The views and feel are absolutely stunning. My wife and I will 100% be planning a trip back in the future. The river sound will lull you to sleep and make you long for it after leaving. Tim is an excellent host and was super responsive. What an amazing place this is.

Great River Location

Our group was primarily there to play golf at Tokatee. Sitting on the deck right on the river was a great way to end the day. I came up a day early to fish the river. It worked out that Tim got me out on his boat. It's the best way see the river and catch fish! The owners are a great family and very accommodating.

The McKenzie River house is right next to the river and all of its magnificence. Everything inside the house is there for you to enjoy the river and your stay. We are a group of plein air painters and this was our annual retreat.The wide deck above the river was very important to us to set up our easels for the views.The front wooded acreage was an alternate subject for our paintings. The sunshine through the trees beautiful.Tim was so reassuring and attentive, leaving flowers and wine to welcome us. Some of us enjoyed the hot tub, outdoor shower, and river swing. We cooked fabulous meals in the well appointed kitchen. The huge dining table was our gathering place.This was one of our most favorite places to paint outdoors.
