Everything about this property is excellent except the two beds in the main two bedrooms are very hard/firm. We have bad backs and my wife ended up sleeping in a twin bed in the basement. We would never stay here again due to that issue. Strongly suggest having at least one mattress not hard!!!!!

This property was so welcoming we absolutely loved staying here next to the river and such close proximity to Mt Hood. There were several game selections for us to play in the evenings after a day of outdoor fun! I highly recommend this location, and can’t wait to go back!

Remote Getaway in a Nice Home!

I'll start by saying I'm not a huge fan of property management run vacation homes versus owner run ones. But this home by Vacasa was too good to pass up. Highlights for our group were: the amazing 2 minute 'hike' to private creek access with relaxing benches to watch the stream pass by, the hot tub, and the kitchen table (for board games and meals together). The house was large and spacious, so plenty of room for family to have their own space when they wanted to relax. The grill and patio furniture on the deck was great for some relaxing outside time! Bit of a rocky start as we'd arrived with the power and water off due to an outage in the area (this is where Vacasa did get a bit frustrating, as we dealt with at least 9 different reps throughout our time there until we finally found the local 'feet on the ground' crew to help solve our issues). Fortunately besides the power, our issues weren't many, prime of which was a wasps nest inside the tub on the deck. They eventually sent out pest control to assist which was nice. All in all a great place to stay, very relaxing, very close to so many of the nearby popular hikes along the Columbia River Gorge, and within the Mt. Hood region!

Great cabin!

Loved the property! Hot tub was fantastic and the creek is beautiful. The house was very well stocked - many kitchen supplies and extra blankets, etc. The only reason I'm not giving a 5 star review is due to the accuracy of the listing - the listing advertises 4 twin beds in the third bedroom, and in reality there were only 3.

Very disappointed that the hot tub didn’t work

The hot tub was broken the whole time which was a huge bummer. Otherwise we really loved the space and the location. The creek was a huge plus, easy to walk to and very peaceful. I am only leaving a 3 star review because of the hot tub and that we received little to no response regarding when it would be fixed.

Wonderful cozy cabin in a beautiful setting. We found it very clean and stocked with everything we needed. The property manager was attentive and took care of issues immediately. We stayed here with our daughter and her family. Children from 1-10 and we all loved it. I would highly recommend this property. We enjoyed it so much we hope to return.

Poorly maintained exterior

The house was as described. However, NO ONE had ever shoveled the stairs, the deck, the drive, nor the hot tub area. Luckily no one slipped on the stairs going into the front door. I would NEVER rent this house again in the winter. Apparently the landlord does not care if they get sued due to the lack of attention on the outside stairs going to the front door. The hot tub was totally non-usable also!!

Another relaxing trip

Another relaxing trip in the books! As always a clean house with all amenities ready upon arrival. After catching the first snowstorm of the season at Timberline, we returned to the cabin and unwound in the hot tub and grilled a filling dinner for hungry guests. Looking forward already to our next stay!

Well appointed cabin

Our stay was not off to a good start because the power was out and there was no firewood. We did find a working flashlight and eventually got a hold of the management company for more info. That first night was not what we expected, but we got some good laughs. In the morning, and full light, we got to explore the cabin, wander around the property, and enjoy the hot tub! The cabin was super cute with it’s rustic decor and had everything we needed for cooking and being comfortable. The hot tub was so relaxing, even with the pine needles. Overall, this cabin was just what this group of gals needed to unwind and recharge. The downstairs area would make it great for a family vacation home since there are bunk beds, a bathroom, and a tv room (perfect for a kids hangout). The only big issue, besides the lack of firewood, is a heating vent on the floor by the slider door that is not secured or sturdy. If we had stepped the wrong way coming in, our foot would have easily went through it.

Lovely, quiet stay

We stayed here in May and had the most wonderful time. The property is quiet and secluded, even though it is quite near the main roads. The home is appointed very comfortably and we really can’t say enough about how relaxing our stay was. The kitchen had everything we needed, the house was spacious and we felt safe the entire time. Due to our rental car being a truck (hard to be picky when that’s all that’s left) and it raining the afternoon of our arrival, we stopped by the property before check-in time to stash our suitcases under the porch. The person who was cleaning the property was nice enough to pull them inside, and when we arrived later we found that they’d hauled the suitcases upstairs! A lovely, very much appreciated gesture. VRBO was quick to help us with an issue getting the hot tub started upon our arrival (mostly user error) and it worked perfectly for the rest of our stay. We just loved everything about the property and will be back again :)
