About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Unforgettable Riverside Experience, Hot Tub, Fire-Pit. 1 Mile to Golf.
This hidden getaway on the banks of the Salmon River has it all. The location is fantastic. Sitting just one mile south of Mt. Hood village on Highway 26 it is close to restaurants and shopping. At the home though, you wouldn’t know it. Surrounded by the enormous pines and lush ferns it feels as though you have been transported deep into the mountains. Whether on the deck, in the hot tub or around the fire-pit, the sounds of the river make for a perfect setting that you will just have to experience for yourself.
Ascending up about ten steps from outside the rest of the home and deck enjoys a single level. The entire property has been renovated both inside and out. All new decor and furnishing has been procured to create the perfect blend of style and comfort while you enjoy your stay. The eat-in kitchen is fully stocked and ready for your culinary creations.
From the living room enjoy streaming and games while relaxing on the plush furnishing. You can’t help but notice the natural light that flows in. From the windows you can see more the lush landscape and river beyond. The primary bedroom with en-suite bath sits on one side of the house as the other two bedrooms sit opposite. One is a standard bedroom with a queen bed and the other is a bunk room with two twin over full bunks allowing for maximum sleeping flexibility.
The manicured landscaping and paths create a wonderful area outside to enjoy. Most that stay, don’t even want to leave the home. However if you do, there are countless trails and other adventures to be had. The Three Nines Golf course is just on the other side of the bridge. Government Camp is barely 13 miles up the road as well. The River Trail Retreat is without a doubt a fantastic spot to base your adventures out of as you explore all the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
We truly want you to enjoy your time here and make wonderful memories with your group. That being said, this is not a party or gathering house for groups that cannot control their noise level. We have relationships with all of our neighbors who have our direct contact information. Quiet time is 10pm until 8am. Please stay indoors during this time, keep the windows and doors closed and noise to a reasonable but enjoyable level. Again, please note we want every group to enjoy there time laugh, have fun and make memories. Also, please note there are no electronic video surveillance monitoring pools or spas, or on the interior of the house.

Quant roomy space in great location
We really enjoyed the location. Going down to the river, and sitting by the fire pit reading listening to the river and wind through the trees was so relaxing. Location was great for walks, including to multiple nearby restaurants that were all great. Very close to the grocery store. We'd definitely rent here again!

Family Getaway!
We did a family getaway to this area and found the house to be centrally located and very peaceful. The highlight of this house is the river in the backyard and sitting around the fire. Truly incredible! River water was chilly so the hot tub was a nice balance. We will be back!

Cozy with a View
Beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bath home about 30 mins away from Mt Hood. Hot tub outside with a great view of the river. River flowing sounds made sleeping easy. Overall great experience. Super quick communication by owner. If I had to leave any constructive criticism it would be that I wished the shower heads were a little higher but that’s probably just me being too tall for standard height. Also primary bedroom too firm for my wife and I but again nothing that would prevent me from giving 5 stars all around.

Beautiful, relaxing location!
The house is situated in on a beautiful wooded lot overlooking the Salmon River. Quite peaceful, with nearby walking areas. For eight adults, the home felt a bit crowded, but we made it work. Had a nice fire by the river, and enjoyed the hot tub. Everything you might need to prepare food in the kitchen was provided. If you are looking for a quiet, lovely getaway near Mt. Hood, this is a great spot, just a mile or so off of Hwy 26.

Great place!
We had an amazing time staying here! The hosts were very communicative and the house was warm and cosy. The kids loved the games and the bunk beds, and the adults loved the relaxing sound of being right near the river. Definitely recommend staying here and we'd love to go back.

Wonderful Stay at River Trail Retreat!
Our stay at River Trail Retreat was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The property is immaculately maintained, with every detail thoughtfully considered to ensure a comfortable and relaxing experience.The location is perfect—peaceful and surrounded by nature, yet close enough to enjoy nearby attractions. We especially loved being near the river! The home itself is beautifully decorated, with cozy furnishings and all the amenities you could ask for. The kitchen was fully stocked, making meal preparation a breeze, and the beds were incredibly comfortable.One of the highlights was the outdoor space. Whether we were sipping coffee on the deck, soaking in the hot tub, or enjoying a barbecue under the stars, it was a true retreat. Beth was also incredibly responsive!We can’t wait to return to River Trail Retreat! It’s the perfect getaway for anyone looking to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature. Highly recommend!

Lovely weekend getaway
This cabin was absolutely perfect for a lowkey getaway. Comfortable and idyllic we had privacy while also being close enough to the mountain and shops to meet our needs. Beth was responsive and helpful throughout the stay.
