About this property

Salmon River Cabin - Private, Hot Tub, Huge Deck/Yard, Outdoor Shower, Fire Pit

The cabin is located at the end of a dead end street with a few other friendly neighbors. To respect them, there is absolutely no partying and no noise after 10pm. We thank you in advance for abiding by these rules.

Salmon River Cabin has it all. Located at the end of the road and nestled along the Salmon River on 1.5 acres, there is something for everyone.

A wall of windows opens onto a huge deck for entertaining, which is also where you will find the very large hot tub that seats 8-10 along with an enclosed outdoor shower.

The yard is private and has room for everything you may want to do. There is room for your game of frisbee, wiffle ball, bocce ball, roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, or a short stroll down to our amazing swimming hole, which has its own beach and lawn chairs to sit and watch the river roll by. There is plenty of safe space for exploring or just being by yourself.

The house boasts a new kitchen with an open feel so the cook can stay connected to the guests. The living room looks out over the deck and yard and has a propane fireplace and stereo with iPod connection while the den/TV Room has a wood-burning stove. The first floor has an open floor plan with lost of space for people to gather, laugh and play games. There is also a laundry room and full bath on the first floor. The house has bocce ball and board games galore.

The bedrooms are all on the 2nd floor. The master bedroom (with attached bath) has a King and two Twins (not bunk beds). The 2nd bedroom has a queen bed. The 3rd bedroom has a queen and a twin over full bunk bed.

Salmon River Cabin is the place to go when you want privacy, nature and seclusion, while still being easy to get to and close to everything you may wish for.

True feel of a cabin getaway
Our family had an amazing time at your cabin. We loved the coziness and welcoming, warm feeling of the entire cabin as well as the yard and the Salmon River behind us. The sound of the flowing river was relaxing and we even had a bonus visit of a doe and two fawns one morning. It was an overall fantastic experience! Thank you, from our family. ♥

Great place to stay.
It was a great cabin for us. Lots of room stayed cool even when the temperatures were in the 90s. Only thing i would chand is the grill needs to have a deep cleaning and gas elements replace.

Wish I had known…..
I wish I had known….. that the house would be freezing cold and despite the host’s insistence that it heats up nicely, it did not. It is at the end of a long dirt road with huge potholes. Would have been nice to know before driving it in the dark. Or that the wood stove listed as an amenity only works if you buy your own wood. Or that the stairs are incredibly steep and impossible for anyone with the slightest mobility issues. And that after being there one hour I informed the host that the property would not work for me and yet he declined to refund me a dollar of the money I paid.

Life saving crockpot :) Spent the day before our trip preparing ingredients to throw in my crock pot when we arrived ... Only to forget it. Walking in to find one was amazing! The hot tub was my favorite part, although it took me a while to figure out how heat it back up. Just wish we had more time.

Nice cabin, very quiet
The host/owner was a great communicator. The place isn’t completely secluded, but it is off the beaten path and very quiet. You can hear the river in the background. Everything works. Thanks for a nice stay!

Our experiance
The good: We mostly enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. Although neighbors are very close by, the privacy was decent with trees and bushes blocking their view. Lots of space, comfy master bed and pillows. The hot tub was great and was already heated when we got there. The wifi was great cause we had no cell reception. Listening to the trickling of the river from the back yard was pleasant. Not too far from larger towns with more shopping options. The not so good: When we first walked in it was super cold and it took a very long time to reach a tolerable temperature. Lots of windows with no blinds or curtains downstairs. It is a private enough location but overall was a rather cold and drafty place with a musty smell. We tried to close ourselves in the master bedroom to get 1 warm room quicker but the door seemed warped and would not close all the way and would pop open immediately. Theres no reason the house couldnt be warm already when we arrived. The Master shower knob was rather difficult to pull out and push in to turn water on/off. The backdoor knob turns on the inside but not on the outside when it's locked so its easy to accidentally lock yourself out which I did. The back porch could have been blown off, lots of tree debris doesnt go well with walking barefoot from the hot tub.

Good stay
Nice quiet property and the host was very accommodating which isn't always the case with VRBO. The location was great and the property was well stocked. It was a bit dirty and could use a good cleaning as there were lots of spiders and their webbing inside the unit. Overall we enjoyed the stay.

Heat of Summer Getaway
This house is a great getaway location back in the woods down a gravel road. There are other houses nearby but still enough privacy when sitting on the back deck or lounging in the hot tub. The path to the river was a little grown over but we still found our way. The deck near the river was shaky due to erosion underneath. The house provided everything we needed and wanted. A full kitchen with plenty of dishes, pots, etc. Bed space (full linens) for sleeping up to 10 or 11 comfortably. Two bathrooms (full towels), laundry room, a couple living room areas and dining area with table to seat 10 as well. Only notable comments would be spiderwebs in the house...might be based on when last tenants were there though, and outside propane grill was dirty as well (but we didn't end up using it anyways). Great location between Sandy and Mt Hood activities. Chris was easy to communicate with and provided helpful information for things to do and places to eat nearby. There's a decent grocery store just up the road about 5 min away. The weather was perfect...would be great to see in the winter time as well. Thanks Chris!

Relaxing
Spent most of the time outside on the deck where we could hear the river in the distance. Internet was fine, able to work remotely. To get to the river...you need to cross a creek over rocks (or bring rainboots) and go over some fallen trees that cross the trail. Would not be easy if you have mobility issues.

Great overall experience
Pros: My family and stayed at this property in June, 2023. The directions were well written and was fairly simple to find the cabin. It is a nice home with a spacious lot. We enjoyed the basketball hoop in the front yard and some of the games provided there (Frisbee, bocce ball, pickleball and plastic bat). The spa was well-maintained and clean for us to use. The backyard leads to a creek and a river. You can explore nature without leaving the property. There are string lights in the backyard and a good firepit with lounge chairs for, and we definitely spent a lot of our time there. The cabin is nearby a few shops, good-size grocery store, dollar store. There are several trails and things to do nearby, and the home includes a binder with several suggestions and directions to where you can go. Cons: House was clean and tidy. It had everything we needed. Although some of the outdoor areas and equipment were dirty or had lots of cob webs on them (outdoor chairs, outdoor toys, deck table and chairs). Barbecue skewers for hotdogs and marshmallows, that were left by the grill outside were unusable/too dirty). The wire brush to clean bbq equipment was also left outside and was too dirty to use. Pillows on the beds seemed a little old. Overall: Sweeping off the deck, outdoor chairs, and outdoor toys/equipment would have been sufficient to make this a perfect review. New pillows wouldn't hurt. The pros outweigh the cons and we would totally go back!!!

We loved it!
The cabin was great. It was clean, the property was large and well kept, kitchen was well stocked and we really enjoyed having the amenities grill/fire pit/hot tub. Very spacious and worked well for our group of 8. There is a little trail that leads back to the river with a platform where you can sit and relax by the water which we also enjoyed. Neighbors were very friendly. Chris was a very responsive and accommodating host. We look forward to booking again in the future!

Just okay for the price
For the price, this cabin was just okay….old, outdated and a bit run down. The 2 bathrooms were tiny and not fully stocked (no washcloths, only two hand towels total, no soap, and a blow dryer from the 70’s that was clogged and looked like it may catch fire if used). The kitchen appliances were old, and based on the number of dishes in the cupboard with dried food still on them, not in the best working order. Overall, the cabin could be really cute with some TLC and attention to a few details.

A few indications of age—cracked lineoleum in bathroom, key lockbox was old and hard to open, rule book was duct taped together. Fireplace was great, appliances and beds were fine. We saw an eagle by the creek.

Cozy
Cute place, nice location, clean and comfortable. Beds were firm but comfortable. One negative is that the kitchen did not have any kind of skillet. Otherwise very well stocked (even had sharp knives!). Kitchen needs skillet! Didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub but it looked clean and cared for. Also, no wood provided for wood burning fireplace. (Gas fire pumps out good heat!). Internet was not strong which could be an issue if one planned to work from this location.

Excellant cabin - hard for low clearance cars
Great back yard. Wonderful for family stay. Outdoor and indoor toys for family available. River access for fishing and relaxing. Only thing to take note of is that the private road to cabin is difficult for low clearance cars. ( gravel/dirt road with many deep pot holes)

About the host

Why they chose this property

We bought this cabin initially because my wife and I fell in love with the property. It is magical here. Its private with places to explore, swim and play. A creek that runs behind the yard that allows for fun and games, along with a forest to explore and the best swimming hole on the Salmon River. We redid the cabin to match the property--warm and open and a fun place to entertain. It really meets the needs of our family and our guests. We have made some amazing family memories and hope you do the same.

What makes this property unique

Relaxation, this place is quiet and yet close to all the activities you want on a get away. It is within walking distance to golfing and professional croquet, close to year round skiing, hiking and mountain biking. We have used this as a base for white water rafting or fishing expeditions as well.
