Birthday getaway

I took my partner and thier friend to this house and it was a great time. We ended up going up to the mountain and relaxing with a well deserved dip in the hot tub.

Nice location right on the creek. Close to Mount Hood and activities. We really enjoyed our stay! A couple of maintenance issues: front right burner on the stove didnt work; outdoor grill was broken; 2 of 4 jets in hot tub didn't function.

Girls trip

House was great, weather was warm so spent most time on the deck. Hot tub had a good leak so we had to keep filling it. Fun hanging out by the river and the water felt go good! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook and home is close to restaurants.

Great cabin!

Loved the property! Hot tub was fantastic and the creek is beautiful. The house was very well stocked - many kitchen supplies and extra blankets, etc. The only reason I'm not giving a 5 star review is due to the accuracy of the listing - the listing advertises 4 twin beds in the third bedroom, and in reality there were only 3.

Mountain Escape

This place feels like home. Even though the internet is great here, it’s more fun to shut off the technology and play games, read, and cuddle up with a big blanket and hot cocoa. Coming back for sure.

Very disappointed that the hot tub didn’t work

The hot tub was broken the whole time which was a huge bummer. Otherwise we really loved the space and the location. The creek was a huge plus, easy to walk to and very peaceful. I am only leaving a 3 star review because of the hot tub and that we received little to no response regarding when it would be fixed.

Great for families.

Wonderful cozy cabin in a beautiful setting. We found it very clean and stocked with everything we needed. The property manager was attentive and took care of issues immediately. We stayed here with our daughter and her family. Children from 1-10 and we all loved it. I would highly recommend this property. We enjoyed it so much we hope to return.

Poorly maintained exterior

The house was as described. However, NO ONE had ever shoveled the stairs, the deck, the drive, nor the hot tub area. Luckily no one slipped on the stairs going into the front door. I would NEVER rent this house again in the winter. Apparently the landlord does not care if they get sued due to the lack of attention on the outside stairs going to the front door. The hot tub was totally non-usable also!!

Another relaxing trip

Another relaxing trip in the books! As always a clean house with all amenities ready upon arrival. After catching the first snowstorm of the season at Timberline, we returned to the cabin and unwound in the hot tub and grilled a filling dinner for hungry guests. Looking forward already to our next stay!

Cozy bear house

Definitely has an old cabin vibe going on. There’s bear decorations everywhere. My son loved all the books and toys. Only bummer was the bunk beds (kids room) is downstairs at the opposite side of the house away from the other rooms. So it was not ideal for my 4 year old son to sleep in alone. Would be better for bigger kids.

Well appointed cabin

Our stay was not off to a good start because the power was out and there was no firewood. We did find a working flashlight and eventually got a hold of the management company for more info. That first night was not what we expected, but we got some good laughs. In the morning, and full light, we got to explore the cabin, wander around the property, and enjoy the hot tub! The cabin was super cute with it’s rustic decor and had everything we needed for cooking and being comfortable. The hot tub was so relaxing, even with the pine needles. Overall, this cabin was just what this group of gals needed to unwind and recharge. The downstairs area would make it great for a family vacation home since there are bunk beds, a bathroom, and a tv room (perfect for a kids hangout). The only big issue, besides the lack of firewood, is a heating vent on the floor by the slider door that is not secured or sturdy. If we had stepped the wrong way coming in, our foot would have easily went through it.

Comfy, nicely furnished secluded cabin

Property was very well maintained and clean throughout. Kitchen was well stocked. Hot tub was clean and a very nice feature. Cabin was very roomy and comfortable and nicely furnished. Only issue was the gas grill need to be cleaned and repaired or replaced. Certainly would recommend

Lovely, quiet stay

We stayed here in May and had the most wonderful time. The property is quiet and secluded, even though it is quite near the main roads. The home is appointed very comfortably and we really can’t say enough about how relaxing our stay was. The kitchen had everything we needed, the house was spacious and we felt safe the entire time. Due to our rental car being a truck (hard to be picky when that’s all that’s left) and it raining the afternoon of our arrival, we stopped by the property before check-in time to stash our suitcases under the porch. The person who was cleaning the property was nice enough to pull them inside, and when we arrived later we found that they’d hauled the suitcases upstairs! A lovely, very much appreciated gesture. VRBO was quick to help us with an issue getting the hot tub started upon our arrival (mostly user error) and it worked perfectly for the rest of our stay. We just loved everything about the property and will be back again :)

Quiet Family Cabin in the Woods

Our family of four loved the private, wooded setting for this family-sized cabin. We enjoyed the multiple, comfortable seating areas by reading, playing cards and watching movies. The hot tub was a wonderful 103 degrees on our 2nd night there, though the temperature controls were not very user-friendly so it was only lukewarm for our 1st and 3rd nights there. The back deck is fabulous, with lots of seating and a BBQ and hot tub. I wish we had been able to stay longer!
