Wedding stay

The location is really beautiful. Mornings on the front deck with coffee watching the sun on the mountains is really relaxing and refreshing. Everything was as good as can be in a rental property. Would definitely recommend this property to everyone. I hope we get to visit again sometime. Thanks to the host for great communication.

Awesome place

Had a mini-family reunion on the lake. The house was lovely and everyone had a great time. The only very slight negatives were no bathroom upstairs for the loft and the outdoor grill was only half-working. But overall 5 stars!! Would definitely stay again!

Detroit weekend vacation

The property is nice, but has lots of stairs. Some up to porch, some inside to main level. Showers are very small. Many extra thoughtful items for renters. The biggest problem was the lack of shade outside. The only shade was the small porch and the temperatures were between 90 and 100. I will say the ac worked very well. The other big factor was the lack of a bathroom on the second floor. If all these things were addressed the house would be perfect. I understand that the owners have not owned the property for very long, and in talking to the owner, they are still working on it.

Family Vacation

We had a great time staying here. There is plenty of room and comfortable sleeping arrangements. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The house has games and toys for everyone with fun lake activities nearby. The only thing I’d note is that if you have a large group, be sure to bring extra paper towels, toilet paper and trash bags which can be purchased at the little store in Detroit in a pinch. We had a great time overall, thank you for opening up your home to us.

Very comfortable for family with little kids and 6 adults

The space was very comfortable, everyone had their own area as well as a common area. A lot of stairs, if you have kids who are crawling, bring baby gates. The main area has 2 stairway entrances. The amenities were awesome and if we had questions or issues the owner was very good at responding to messages within an hour. Parking space was awesome for 3 vehicles and a big boat trailer. More could have fit there. The floors could have been a little cleaner for being a shoeless house, but not bad. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely do it again!

Home so nice we booked it twice!

Our last stay at this home was so great that it was an easy decision to re-book when we returned to the area for more work this spring. The home was just as pleasant as the last time, and we are looking forward to returning again next month! An absolute must book if you are in the area - even if you aren't, maybe you should be! Detroit is a lovely town.

Fabulous home and wonderful hosts!

The house served our needs perfectly and had plenty of room for our group of 4 adults. There were lots of thoughtful, personal touches throughout the house, and communication with the host was excellent. It really felt like staying in a HOME - and a cozy one at that! The location is great, super close to the lake and downtown, with a really nice view. We will be back for sure and would absolutely recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in the Detroit area.

Delightful, inviting Detroit Lake cabin

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at this charming cabin within 2 miles from Detroit Lake. You can actually see the lake since the house is on a slightly elevated area. Nancy (owner) was very prompt in her responses, very approachable, kind and generous. We couldn't have found a better place to spend two nights away from home. We highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone wishing to relax and enjoy Detroit Lake!

Detroit Lake House on the Hill with a View

This house is amazing. The house was SO clean, and nicely furnished/decorated. There were indoor and outdoor entertainment spaces for all. The location is fantastic; it is less than a mile to the marina and just across the highway from main street and the local store. Our large group had a wonderful time, and I would definitely stay at this house again.

Community feel with lake views

Chris & Nancy’s property is absolutely clean and stylish. Communicate with them was superb before, during, and after our stay. Home has all the items you need, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, room for your lake toys with ample parking. House has an open main floor layout including a large dining table that was perfect for our board gaming! Plenty of space for our family & friends as we could spread out over the three floors. The location is minutes to Detroit Lake & grocery store. We had a great day at the lake with an easy drive back to the house.

About the host

Hosted by Chris & Nancy Powell

We live in nearby Salem, OR. This is our first vacation home as a rental, but Nancy has many years in the hospitality business from opening the Napa Valley Railway Inn to managing Embassy Suites Hotels.

Sharing our home and vacationing with friends and family is our pastime. We love to travel locally and abroad, wherever you are, it's all about the experience!

Why they chose this property

Detroit is less than an hour from the Willamette Valley. You can escape to the water and the mountains in no time.

The home is large for the family and friends to gather together and still have personal space. With four separate sleeping spaces, it's a great spot for a extended family gathering, guys or girl's weekend, church retreat, or teambuilding weekend.

There is even a short path up the hill where you can pitch a large tent. Lots of great memories to be made here.

What makes this property unique

The original owners planted Bear Grass as part of the landscaping. A family friend made the Bear Grass Lodge sign using a magnifying glass to burn in the details into the wood plank that hangs in the entryway. The name has stuck!

We have lots of parking and plenty of room for boat trailers. Inside there's plenty of elbow room and outside lots of space for everyone to enjoy the outdoors.
