Cute property, but definitely not secluded
Property was very homey and the house was clean. The outdoor space by the river could definitely use some upkeep. The neighbor across the road not only watched us from his porch for much of our stay, he also originally thought we had left (after we unloaded things and then my partner pulled away in the car to run to the grocery store) and he not only came onto the property but actually opened the door and stepped into the house. When he saw that there were still people there he apologized and left -- but not sure what would have happened if we hadn't been there. So, yeah - lock the doors!

Lovely cabin in the river!
We LOVED the cabin, location riverfront yard and the sound of the river as we slept! Beds, bathroom & kitchen were clean and very well appointed and comfortable. The living room area needs a good cleaning. It smelled musty and my husband has allergies and couldn’t even sit on the couch. There were crumbs under the couch cushions as well. Unfortunately we had to move to another property though because the man that lives across the road was very unnerving to us and especially our teenage daughter. He would pace up and down the road and look in the driveway and once when my husband went out in car he came into the property right outside the window where my daughter and I were. We inquired about him, but no one could tell us if he was harmless or not, so we moved for peace of mind. We do wish him well if he is sick, but renters need to be aware of him and his condition when inquiring. Your home is a very sweet spot on the River none the less. We wished we didn’t have to move!

Family Rustic Getaway
We spent a week with the cozy cabin as the base for our family of four. Location is great- note: it was helpful to have an SUV as the road to the cabin is gravel and has many potholes. Also close to some *amazing* restaurants (Koya kitchen and a little further to food trucks at Sandlandia in sandy). We also cooked about half our meals at the house. We did day trips to many hiking spots, mt. Hood, and the coast, though our kids were also happy to play along the edge of the Salmon River in the backyard. We couldn't bring our pup but this would be a perfect spot for those who can. Also note that (as with many house rentals) if you stay all week, on garbage day you'll need to bring the bins to the main road; not a big deal but we were glad to have the SUV for this as well since it was not super close. Wifi connection was great. This was the perfect spot for our summer vacation!

Quiet Cabin Stay
This property was lovely for a quiet stay near Mt. Hood. We enjoyed listening to the river while enjoying the porch swing. It also had a well-stocked kitchen with a good selection of pots and pans for cooking. The beds are raised up pretty high and my 6-yo needed a stool (which was provided) to get in and out of the beds. Overall a nice stay!

Wonderful time at The Cozy Cabin
Cabin is in a great location for exploring Mt. Hood and area. Gas fireplace was nice in the cool May weather. Make sure you have/rent a 4x4/AWD vehicle as the road in is in rough shape.

Xmas break
Not a bad place, could have been cleaner. The dogs toy went under couch, reached under to pull it out and got more than I bargained for, a pair of womens panties, how gross and disgusting. Didn’t realize it was in a neighborhood of other homes, was under the impression it was out away from others. Would have been much nicer in a secluded area. The neighbor across the way was creepy. He would stand on his porch and stare at the house for long periods of time. On the brighter side it was very nice having the river so close. Would be a nicer stay in the summer, fish right out the door.

Cabin is cozy, clean, and comfortable!
Loved the view of the river, the fire pit, we unfortunately did not get time to use, and the neat old styling of the interior with the exposed beams, and gas stove. Perfect for a weekend getaway cabin.

Cozy Cottage in Welches
Quaint little cottage in quiet neighborhood with serine setting. Great little hideaway if you're looking to get away from city life and nature detox. Great little restraunts in area as well as fun hiking spots. Overall place is very well kept and comfortable. Enjoyed our stay.

Great getaway
4 of us 55 yr old ladies getting away! Had a wonderful weekend in this cute little cottage. We just came to relax by the river and that’s just what we did. Older cottage (was great) BUT right when we got there and sat down on a chair at the dining table and the chair broke! (I’m not fat! Maybe a tad over weight BUT not to break a chair!) Went to another chair, and super wobbly :( Other than that, wonderful place :)

Cozy little cabin
The cabin is very cute and my mom & I enjoyed our time there. It’s perfect for two people. It was lovely to sit on the porch and listen to the river and birds chirping. It’s a nice little getaway that isn’t too far from the city. I didn’t notice when I booked, but the house does not have a dishwasher, so be prepared to wash all your dishes by hand. It also doesn’t have any laundry machines, so if you get your clothes dirty enough to need washing, you’ll have to go to a laundromat. Also, bring toiletries because all the cabin provides is hand soap and some dishsoap! But all in all, we had a good weekend! Mom says she would stay there again and is already talking about going back. I might look for a place with a dishwasher…. 😀

A rustic place with a beautiful view
Love the cabin. The chair in the dining could use some stability. Love the feel of the rustic place. You can sit in the front porch sipping something hot and look at the river. Was hoping to see any spawning fish. If you want peace and quite with a view, this is the place.

Cozy indeed!
This is a perfect getaway spot! From cozy blankets to snuggle in with to windows that open to let the sound of the river flow in and a porch swing to enjoy coffee while breathing in the fresh mountain air, this house was perfect. It’s a cabin, a cozy one at that, in every sense of the word.

Nice place
Cold until you figure out the heaters. Beds are laughably high, hard to get in or out. Like, 3 feet tall, which is rough for a 5 foot woman. But I'm nitpicking, everything there was nice and I'll go again.

Not clean
We arrived unpacked. Dishes on shelf had dried food on them, couches and chairs were dirty with food stuck to cushion. We immediately left and returned home. Did not feel safe with COVID cleaning protocols not followed. Requested 50% refund. Have not heard be back. Very disappointed. Can not recommend.

Cozy Cabin on the Salmon
I love the clean, rustic vibe of the cabin. It is really inspiring to sit out at the river and just relax and dream while getting lost in the waters flowing by. Good for the soul. I found everything I needed to make meals and enjoy them while looking out of the dining space window.

The house was immaculate. Artful landscaping created privacy while maintaining full restricted view of the incredible Salmon River. Quiet and peaceful. Came for rest and renewal: mission accomplished and I will be back.
