Broken king mattress overtakes this musty, tiny home. Cute location.
Heavily sagged bed. Sheets were damaged. I notified Vacasa on first night, about the broken bed. Their response was "do you want us to come over?" No indication as to what they would do, or why at that hour; it was off putting and kind of creepy. They have refused any sort of refund. Cute creekside location and excellent internet speed.

Beautiful cabin!
We loved staying here! The neighborhood was beautiful and sit nearby a flowing river that has a bench so you can sit and take in all the natural beautiful. We are tall so we did have a little trouble with how small the shower was but it should be fine for the average adult. Overall, 10/10!

Great little cabin!
What a lovely little cabin for a couples getaway. Everything you need in an intimate little romantic space. Super quiet neighborhood. Love, taking walks to the river in the morning with a hot cup of coffee. Even in very warm temperatures the cabin stayed perfectly cool and comfortable! Would definitely come back again.

Cozy, Comfy, awesome amenities!
The cabin was meticulously clean and in great condition. The kitchen and bath was well stocked and we appreciated the generous supply of fans and kitchen items. The neighborhood isn't quite as nice as some others but it was very quiet and the river is just a brief walk away and absolutely beautiful.

Ideal tiny forested getaway
I was surprised by how small this cabin is (I guess I didn’t look carefully enough at the listing) - it’s one room (except for bath). One (very large) bed. Only good for one person, a couple, or two VERY intimate friends. Other than that, a delight. Well designed, comfy, great amenities (from good Kleenex to a walking map of the neighborhood), and surprisingly quiet and private despite being surrounded by other cabins. Lovely forested view out front window. Neatest things was neighborhood access to the Sandy River just a 5-minute walk, made all the difference to the experience. Only thing that keeps the kitchen from being officially full and well-equipped is a half-size fridge. Very neat, highly recommend.

Little cozy cabin
Couldn’t have asked for a better cabin especially given the price point. It’s small but very cozy. The kitchen is stocked with quality cooking supplies, there were some fun board games and dvds for entertainment, the furniture was very comfortable, the cabin was very clean when we arrived, and we were very surprised to find out that the cabin stayed fairly cool during the hot summer weather at the time of our stay despite the lack of an air conditioner. The wifi was alright; it served its purpose, nothing special. And the cabin was close enough to the highway where restaurants and hiking were just minutes away. Overall, we would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone thinking about booking it and would totally go back again in the future.

Nice for a single
This cabin is a perfect get away for a single. It came well stocked with all the necessities that a person would need while staying there. It’s in a quiet neighborhood nestled amongst the trees. The short walk to the river is an added bonus. Enjoyed my stay and plan to return.

Amazing!
Our stay at Chalet Shangri-La was perfect in every way! The cabin was immaculate, and so well-maintained. The location just a short walk from the river is ideal. We had hours of hikes through stunning scenery nearby, and everywhere: those trees! Those trees!

Perfect A-Frame Staycation
Nestled in the trees, in a quiet neighborhood. A short lovely stroll to the Sandy river, with a cup of coffee in hand, was the perfect way to wake up each morning. This cabin provided the perfect home base for a friends mountain wedding weekend!

Great cabin, very clean and warm! Management could improve the experience by notifying about exterminators upfront as we had to deal with it.

Love The Upgrades
Since our last visit a year ago the coffee maker has been upgraded to a kcup machine, the bed is now a king size and even more comfortable, a new parking spot has been added and the tv now has a sound bar. We loved the cabin before but this stay was even better than last time. We’ll be back again soon.

1 Old Man + 1 Old Dog + 1 Small Cabin = Contentment
• Immaculately clean • Stupendous use of space • Comfortable bed • Pristine condition My ancient Blue Heeler and I couldn't have been more pleased. Two minor things of which they have no control ~ While using their gas BBQ, the second burner connection seemed to have come lose or in need of repair (it was working fine at first), and some loose dogs in the neighborhood were obnoxious.

Cozy wonderful little cottage
This was a great place for just me and my dog to go for some relaxation and personal time. The Chalet was very well kept and had everything I needed. Loved the secluded rural neighborhood that still gave me lots of privacy and a feeling of being in the forest. Lots of things to do and places to check out just a few minutes away.

Great local spot
Came in for only one night but had a great time in the area. Place is small but perfectly sized for 1 or 2 and tucked into a quiet side street off the main highway. Good local spots nearby and Mt Hood is maybe 15-20 min drive.

Cozy, well-maintained cabin in a quiet neighborhood
The home has been taken care of over the years. Kitchen was well-supplied with decent quality cookware. Whole place was spotlessly clean; no trace that anyone else had been there. We walked to the river, drank coffee on the porch, napped in the recliners and ate great home-cooked food.

Not so secluded small cabin
It was cozy. It’s just one small room with a bed, kitchen, and two chairs. Small bathroom. No air conditioning, but two fans. It has a musty smell. The neighbors are very close and have loose dogs that they did not call back when we asked if they were friendly. The surrounding cabins are older, and some are rather rundown. Lots of no trespassing signs. We could hardly fit our Toyota Camry into the parking spot, which is at an angle to the very small cabin.

Summer stay
Had a great little getaway at this cute, quiet cabin. Really enjoyed the stillness and tranquility. We are avid bird watchers, so it was great for that. We would recommend putting up some bird feeders and maybe 1 additional mirror for the inside. Other than that, everything was amazing!

Cute Cabin
The cabin was comfortable and well equipped. My only complaint is that it wasn't that private which vacasa asserts that all their homes. It's in a mountainous location and close to the river. That's great, but it's actually the location is fairly densely populated with homes.
