Up-River House on the McKenzie River

Spacious River-Front Home seeks new relationships with fun groups interested in making some special Mckenzie River memories. This 3 bedroom , 1 and a half bath beauty is centrally located to all of the waterfalls, hiking trails, hot springs, lakes and reservoirs that make this Willamette National Forest so fabulous - year-round.
The home sits on a 2.5 acre "resort" called "UpRiver" and offers a completely wooded "rivers edge" atmosphere with an openness under the forest canopy that were sure you'll enjoy!
What makes this such a great home for gatherings is the large gathering spaces of the living room, family room and kitchen that dominate the entire downstairs with a great little wood stove to make things nice and cozy. There is also an outdoor firepit with a great view of the river.
This home is managed by Jonathan and Lisa - famous for our cleanliness and service.

Relaxing getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our getaway in this house. The amenities were great with plenty of linens and some extra nice touches. It was overall comfortable and well put together. A great location near hiking trails and having the river right there.

The location was perfect for our float trip on the McKenzie river! The house is somewhat dated but was very clean and well maintained. Lots of space for a family to spread out and enjoy. The river view was phenomenal and we enjoyed both evenings sitting and listening to it roll by! I would recommend this stay for anyone looking for a convenient location with no frills.

Great Space and Friendly Hosts

I stayed with some friends at the Up-River house this past weekend and had a great time exploring the area. The house was super conveniently located for quick hiking trips to beautiful spots. Early check in was available and access around the house was super easy. The space was very tidy and organized. We will definitely be looking to work with these hosts in the future.

Excellent rustic house...

The setting is beautiful and very park-like, with pretty sunrise views through the trees towards the river. The house has all the necessities, including kitchenware and extra linens. The woodstove was really nice for taking the chill off when necessary, for which plenty of firewood was available. The outdoor firepit/grill looked amazing even though we never got a chance to use it. The beds were comfortable and it was relaxing listening to the river at night. We met the property owner and he was incredibly nice and very helpful to us, especially with the parking of our drift boats. Overall we were very pleased with our stay.

Relaxed

This trip was very relaxing. Nothing fancy but exactly what we needed. Wood stove was great and the sound of the rain on the river was so soothing.
