About this property

Crystal Creek Chalet - Meredith Lodging

Crystal Creek Chalet provides a secluded and restful setting along the Salmon River for Mt Hood getaways. Take in the panoramic views of Hunchback Mountain and the Salmon River from the deck and dining room or enjoy the scenic meadows, creeks, and ponds while strolling through the naturally landscaped grounds. A short 5-minute walk down a wooded trail will lead you to the banks of the Salmon River where you can dip your toes during the summer or cast a line for salmon or steelhead.

Prepare a meal on the gas BBQ on the deck overlooking the river and enjoy spending time with your friends and family while you share stories of your day’s adventures exploring Mt Hood. Hike along the trails on the property and watch for deer in the meadow at dawn and dusk every day. Winter snow provides your own private snow play area in the yard.

Curl up on the sofa with a good book in front of the fireplace or watch TV, movies or sporting events in the vaulted great room accented with burnished knotty pine walls. You will be close to Mt Hood activities like hiking and biking trails, restaurants and shops.

This 3-level, 4-bedroom lodge provides plenty of privacy and space for 10 guests with 1 king bed, 3 queen beds and 1 full bed and 3 bathrooms. Your dogs are welcome to join you at the Crystal Creek Chalet for an additional charge.

The climax of our vacation
We visited with extended family and a dog. The stay in this house was the most enjoyable part of our vacation. Not only that the house was excellent spacious well equipped and well maintained but the views, the trails, the river and all the grounds were amazing so we spend most of our vacation without leaving the premises. It was definitely one of the top vacation rental we have ever had

Beautiful Views but Frustrating Experience
This is one of the only properties in the Mt Hood area that sleeps 10 and allow pets. Since we stayed over the Christmas holiday (Dec 23-30) so we a the premium (over $5000). I really wanted to give this place/experience a 5 star review but my experience with the management especially has led me to giving it a 3. I totally agree with the 4 and 5 star reviewers about the cabin having beautiful views from every window and great places to walk outside. I also agree with the space of the main floor with two large rooms; a family room with a TV and fireplace, and and a dining area with a fireplace, that allows for a large family to hang out. I also agree with the 1-3 star reviewers about the quirks of the place that are mentioned multiple times and haven’t seemed to be addressed. Upstairs got extremely cold as there are no heater vents. Management responded quickly and brought two small portable heaters, but there’s no safe place upstairs to plug them in as the outlets are on the wall over the head of the beds. Also, the dishwasher was broken as the and the door opened too far; all the way to the floor. Management told me that they were just now hearing this, but this was also mentioned in other reviews, including one within the last year. The biggest issue was the main floor bathroom tub drained slowly at first, and then didn’t drain at all; we had to stop using it as there was several inches of standing water in the tub for two days.

Family gathering
Clean, spacious, well-appointed house with lovely view and great location. Nice starter supplies of paper towels, coffee filters dishwashing liquid, etc. enough wood for one fire. House is darker than pictures show but that is a minor complaint. I would stay here again. Path to river is halfway down the road with a small sign. Checkin code needs to be followed by a star. Use Wi-Fi code on refrigerator, not in book.

Very nice
Everything was wonderful. We were a bit disappointed that there is no way to get to the river. The entry code did not work but a simple phone call fixed the problem. We did run out of propane which caused a bit of a problem.

Large cozy cabin in the woods
This is a big space, with an amazing view in a really beautiful location. The house is large, the kitchen decent, and plenty of rooms. For our stay, it worked great. The house itself has some quirks, but for the price it's great. Would come again.

We recommend bringing a snow shovel or two just incase so you can dig yourself out because they were not provided.

Reviewer Comments: Once a year we book a vacation that includes our immediate family, and for 2020, we decided last year we would like to do something different, and that would be a cabin getaway. The Crystal Creek Chalet was exactly what wew were hoping for. The cabin was very clean, well stocked with all of the ammenities. The beds were very comfortable, the surrounding woods were tranquil and serene, we cannot wait to return.

Forest Chalet Centrally Located to Oregon Landmarks
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We greatly enjoyed our stay at the chalet with its large windows, deck overlooking the river, and secludedness from neighbors. The river was viewed from the deck, but not accessible from the house, and we enjoyed sitting out and enjoying the peaceful setting. There was a field and pond on the property, but we weren't lucky to see any wildlife. It is worth noting that all bedrooms were either downstairs or upstairs, making it challenging to those with limited mobility as the stairs were steep to the basement, and the bannister was wobbly upstairs. The house was comfortable and featured woodsy decor, a well-stocked kitchen, and a quirky but fun layout (bathroom off the kitchen, hot tub indoors) but could have used some more niceties (extra towels) and home repairs (lots of horseflies in the basement, wobbly bannister, jammed shower door, non-working thermostat, non-locking lockbox). The laundry center was very appreciated, as we didn't have to pack as much on our trip. The Mt Hood Vacation Rentals staff were quick to respond to the non-working items, and sent out a repairman on a Sunday, who was very nice and professional. Unfortunately, we stayed during the fierce windstorm and fires that affected the region, and our power was shut off preemptively, spending a scary night in the dark. Mt. Hood Vacation Rentals sent out an email about the upcoming power outage; however we were unable to access it in time. It would have been nice if the company reached out to us by phone as well, both before and after the windstorm. The property was just a few minutes from Highways 26 and 35, and located centrally among the Mt. Hood villages and lots of local hiking opportunities. It was only an hour or less away from Portland, the Columbia River Gorge, Hood River, and all the landmark waterfalls too. Overall, we had a fun and relaxing time (before the natural disasters) and recommend the Crystal Creek Chalet in Mt. Hood to all.
