Tiny, cozy and perfect
In a small cluster of homes. Neighbors are quiet. Woods setting is lovely and a very short drive to Salmon River trailhead. Beds need upgrading but otherwise very unpretentious and cozy.

Hot tub didn’t work, lack of service
In general, this is a fine stay for a rustic cabin and would have been worth our money if the hot tub worked.The hot tub not working wasn’t the most disappointing, though: it was the lack of service from vacasa about the nonfunctioning amenity that we chose this cabin for. We immediately tried to use the hot tub when we arrived Friday night, and immediately let the host know that it wasn’t working. They said they would send someone over and then never followed up. Even the next day—crickets from the host. We had to reach out again and STILL no one was sent to look at the hot tub. I wouldn’t book with this company for the lack of service.

Cute Cabin - Non-Working Hot Tub
The cabin was cute, was able to check in early and pay for late checkout. Cabin is centrally located. Very disappointed with the hot tub situation. It was broken, and come to find out from the repair person, that the owners/management knew it was broken yet, didn’t mention anything to us, renters, in advance. The sole reason we rented this place (and paid quite a bit more for it) was because of the hot tub. When asked for a partial refund, Vacasa and VRBO ghosted us. Also, when asked during our stay, VRBO stated that they never advertised or mentioned that the property had a wood fireplace. Take a look at the property photos (which they may have taken down at this point) and tell us it doesn’t look like the cabin has a working wood stove/fireplace. Without the hot tub and wood stove, the cabin experience we were looking for fell very, very short. I would not book this place in the future.

It was alright
While we did not have a bad stay there were some questionable points along the way. We found food scraps discarded by the front door as well as outside by the porch. There were multiple spiderwebs that were in clear sight that had not been cleaned up all through the house. There was mold growing in the shower around the tub. The BBQ was not in working conditions. We found many dishes that were not cleaned fully and had residue or grease on them. We also found plastic wrap on the windows and saw that the window sills were not cleaned often. The exterior was in need of some landscaping and repair. The pictures are quite outdated and made the place seem cleaner than we felt it truly was. The hot tub was nice and had no issues there and the fireplace inside was very nice for heating up the house. Overall a very lack luster experience.

Quaint cabin
We really enjoyed coming home to the hot tub after long days of hiking. The kitchen was fully equipped so we didn’t have to eat out every meal. Plenty of toiletries also. We really liked this place.. very quaint and quiet. Highly recommend 😊

Definitely not a spot for rest and relaxation
Stayed a Tuesday and Wednesday night. Will definitely not be going back. No issues with Vacasa, just the home and neighborhood. The pictures of the home are staged and framed amazingly. Props to the photographer. This is no fault of the host or vacasa but the house had absolutely no privacy and the neighbors are terrible. Between the construction 20feet away and the middle of the night dirt bike racing up and down the street, this is not a spot for rest and relaxation. Best part of this house was

Rustic cabin close to recreation
This older cabin was decently priced and convenient to access. It hasn't been updated though. The rooms are dark and there is no lighting in the living room, so I couldn't read my book by the fire. The overhead light in there is not functional and there are no lamps. The hot tub was welcome after long hikes but only half of the jets are working. I contacted the service department and they were going to look into it but it's possible the tub only has one pump (luckily I was by myself). The stovetop overhead exhaust fan was labeled as not working. It would have been nice to open windows, but few could be opened and those had broken screens or window sills filled with cobwebs and bugs so it was not desirable. Porch and eaves also covered with cobwebs. I probably won't stay here again.

Beautiful area- not the best cabin
We loved the deer and scenery though the cabin itself was pretty outdated and did not look like the pictures. It has a terrible slant to it as if the foundation isn’t solid. Also looks like the owner refinished it himself instead of getting the remodel professionally done. Beware if you are visiting when it’s warm. The only fan is in the living room. It was so hot in the bedrooms even with the windows open, we had to sleep on the floor in the living room. It is not secluded at all and the neighbors dogs hung out in the yard quite a bit. The hot tub was relaxing but my daughter said the water hadn’t been changed in 257 days per the hot tub settings. Not to mention every house in the surrounding area can watch you while you get in and out of the hot tub. It’s not always about where you stay but the memories you make.

Weekend Getaway
This is cute little cabin in the pretty Oregon backdrop. It is accurate in it's description. My girlfriend and I stayed for four days and enjoyed every bit. We did run into a few issues easily overcome, the back room breaker tripped due to the loading from heaters and lights being on at night. The electric fireplace did not want to work with us so we used the wood stove instead. There was plenty of wood, just needed kindling to get it started. It was close to lot's of amenities and snow capped slopes not far away. We would definitely go back!

We had a great stay at this cabin! It had everything we needed and more. The heat worked great, the hot tub was perfect and the kitchen had all needed. We would totally come back and stay again! Contrary to other reviews, we felt it was very private. Thanks for letting us enjoy this place!

The cabin was clean and comfy. Although the neighbors are pretty close it still seemed secluded. Hot tub was perfect. The kitchen has very little seasonings, so bring what you want.

Quaint rustic cabin
Pros- It had a cute, clean, rustic interior. The bed was comfortable, and the hot tub was clean and hot. Furniture was comfortable, It is close to a grocery store, coffee and food. Cons- Not very private but good enough for us. The hot tub could use some privacy curtains or something. The front door lock was annoyingly tricky, and the windows were a bit drafty but expected for a cabin in the woods. Overall we would come back and recommend it to others.
