Wonderful

Everything other than the hot tub (which was murky and had sand in there) was very cleanly and cozy.

Quiet property located adjacent to the river at the end of the road. Close to several restaurants and a grocery store. Enjoyed the hot tub and sitting on the deck in the evenings.
The kitchen was fantastic - we had all we needed to make lots of food! One thought would be to add coasters and a meat thermometer. The hot tub was warm and wonderful. The house was a little dusty and the sheets were stained/dirty upon arrival. Location and communication were excellent!

Thank you, Robyn, for your feedback. We are happy you enjoyed this home. We're very sorry to learn about the dust and the condition of the sheets upon your arrival. This is certainly not the standard we strive to uphold, and we apologize for any inconvenience this caused. We'll continue to work closely with both our local staff and the homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you.
We loved our stay here and would absolutely come back again. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and silverware. There were plenty of towels for both the shower and hot tub. Beds were comfy, with plenty of extra blankets and pillows.My only complaint is that there is a little walking trail that does get some foot traffic along the creek...which makes the hot tob not so private during the daylight hours.

Beautiful cabin with lots of nature and privacy!
We really enjoyed all the amenities of the cabin! The privacy and surrounding nature was really lovely. There was plenty of outdoor seating and a fire pit. The cabin was well stocked with towels and soaps, and the kitchen was fully equipped and enjoyable to cook in. We noticed some issues with cleanliness - like dishes being cloudy and crumbs on the couch, which would have made this an easy five star stay if resolved.

Beautiful riverside cabin
We loved the location, how quiet it was, and hearing the river from the cabin. The path along the river was great for morning walks and the deck was wonderful for gathering.
I stayed at this cabin-like private residence on the river with two brothers (25&26) for a disc golf trip to the Milo McIver course roughly 45 minutes away. Very close to Mt Hood. Hot tub, board games, fully equipped kitchen were excellent features. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

Love!
We didn’t want to leave this home! Everything was very comfortable, clean, close to many hikes and restaurants, and best of all right in the river.

Great Home in a Perfect Setting
My husband and I recently stayed there for 4 nights and wished we'd had time to stay longer. This place was close to a small river, surrounded by trees, and in a small, quirky neighborhood. Loved it all! The house was spacious and the kitchen seemed well stocked though we only cooked a couple of meals there. It's in a great location and very peaceful. Would love to stay there again and would totally recommend!
This cabin is close to the river, so we loved that we could hear the water. The cabin is really nice and has a rustic feel to it, even-though it has all amenities needed. I was impressed by the nice appliances and the overall layout of the place. Its surprisingly large.
