With three living spaces, one on each level, there is plenty of room for everyone to have a good time enjoying a variety of activities. The main level great room with over-sized, soft sofas and the woodstove creates a relaxing place to join your friends with a glass of wine and conversation.

Beautiful Setting for this log home lodge
We very much enjoyed our stay. The GPS brought us first to an entrance gate that was clearly not actively in use, so we had to back up and go just a bit down the way to the correct entrance gate, after that is was all great. The home is beautiful, spacious, quiet and the there is a little store in Welches just a 5 minute drive away for your last minute needs such as milk, bread, etc. Would stay here again for sure.

Fabulous vacation with our family
The place needs some help. Some salt for the front steps, dryer did not work, basketball court is green with mold and no working basketball, very hot upstairs, dirty sheets in downstairs bedroom, and some lighting out by hot tub. We didn’t call management because we were busy most days and didn’t want someone besides our family in the house. The entrance into the master bath is a lawsuit just waiting to happen We had a great time because we were all together, but very upset about this house.

Beautiful property, bonus slugs for critter-lovers
My friends and I had a lovely weekend at the cabin. Rooms, kitchen, and hot tub were great! We also had fun slug-questing outside of the house, and we spotted a few deer during our stay. We'd love to come back!

Wonderful Family Vacation
We had all the kids and grandkids at the cabin for a family vacation and had a wonderful time hiking and seeing the sites. The only complaint would be that the WiFi was terrible but it kept everyone off their devices

Amazing log cabin
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful end of summer getaway as a group of two families with kids. The cabin was very clean and spacious. We especially liked the floor plan - three floors, separate kitchen, big deck, but the overall setup was very nice as well - private location on a large lot, yet close to the main access road. The staff at Mt Hood Vacation Rentals was very helpful accommodating our late arrival. We stayed in this area many times, easily one of the better cabins around.

Weekend Family Getaway
After suffering a horrible loss in my family we were in desperate need of a family getaway. This house was just perfect. Surrounded by trees we felt like it was just us and the birds. The different living areas and bedrooms offered separation while still being together. The hot tub was our favorite...especially in the morning when it snowed. My ONLY negative was the beds. My girls and I slept in the bunk bed room and the mattresses were not comfortable at all. Other than that we loved every minute of our stay!

Quiet log cabin
Felt like a log cabin. Liens we're clean and house was clean when arrived. Basketballs we're deflated and old but one was alright. Could be an amazing property with a little TLC Wasn't very remote, close to town. Road next to highway. Property wasn't really upkept. Old satellites in back yard, driveway had a big hole, broken bridge and porch. Stairs weren't sturdy, nails sticking out, tvs and dvds had issues, no foosball table like advertised. Planter boxes were fallen off the porch and weeds everywhere . Limited cleaning supplies available. Arrangement with kids rooms on main level was a little off. Would expect kids to be close to adult bedrooms so we didn't feel comfortable leaving the little ones on main floor alone.

Nice stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was new and quaint. We had a nice stay with some livable issues. The master bedroom had no closet space for guests. Very inconvenient due to The fact we had hanging clothes and had to live out of our suitcase the whole time. My wife had to use a stool to get in bed and I just jumped up because it was so elevated. The shower in the master bath had 2 shower heads, but there wasn't enough pressure to operate one, much less two. The internet was hardly useable, kept going in and out. We weren't able to use hotspots because there wasn't any cell signal. The wood burning stove was worthless and too much trouble to load, and didn't put out much heat. We were there the first part of May and it got up to 90 degrees, No AC available. The TV setup was odd. They had Netflix and Amazon available but the internet was so bad you couldn't stream movies. You had to watch DVDs. Shops and restaurants close enough.

Great place but needs some modernization
The cabin is a great property - as pretty and isolated as the pictures make it look. It's lovely, quiet, and we enjoyed our stay immensely. There are several caveats, however. The place looked great when we arrived, but it's clear that there is a need for some regular maintenance to be done. The front stairs creak ominously on every step, and while sturdy, simply doing minor maintenance (pressure-washing and using screws instead of nails) would make them solid and silent. A myriad of minor issues like this kept nagging. Upon lifting a cushion that slid forward, the sofa had old potato chips and children's markers under the pillow. The thermostat has been cracked in several places -- it still works, but cosmetically looks terrible. And then there were the things that needed to be modernized -- the outdoor speakers around the hot tub are connected to a stereo system precisely like the one I owned -- in the 1990s. And, like that system, it doesn't work at all. There are no radio stations and a five-disc CD changer filled with titles that won't read. So no music while soaking in the hot tub. We ended up using it once. While we only booked for two people, I would at least have expected a few extra hot tub towels. We had planned to have some friends in the area visit, but we only got two towels. The washing machine is broken. It does not advance cycles. (Discovered by a tub of wet soapy clothes.) The internet is almost non-existent, and there are no TV channels or radio.

Family time
We had a great time making memories here. We loved how spacious the house was and that the kids Could play outside on the snow. The only few things I would change would be adding more blankets, having DVD players that work on all the TV’s, and the internet was non existent (which meant you couldn’t use your phone, but there was ONE landline phone for emergencies).

Beautiful getaway
The home was beautiful and spacious. The upstairs bedroom/loft was a great getaway space for the parents. The kitchen was spacious and accommodating. Some dishes were dirty in the cabinets so I had to rewash before use. The main level bunk room was not pictured but was roomy with a walk-in closet for the kids. Downstairs was great for the kids to take their "excited voices". They have a selection of boards games that we gladly used! Overall a great experience!

Family get together
We very much enjoyed our stay. The property had plenty of room for 7 adults and we found everything we needed except it would of been nice to have xtra blankets for the beds and sitting around. The location was great, comfortable furniture ( mattresses downstairs might need an update) plenty of seating at the table and room to all cook together!

We did experience a snake in the lowest level living room and a bat in the master bathroom during our stay. It is a beautiful cabin but could use some maintenance. The shower heads in the main floor and lower floor showers fell off and hit two of us while showering and the stove had trouble turning on at times and the picnic table was broken.

Great cabin but not clean
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin and location was great, but the house was very dirty. Windows were very dirty, barely see through them. Floors had dirt and dog hair everywhere, especially in the front room where the fireplace was. One of the coffee pots didn’t work, luckily they had a second stashed up in the cabinet. The cookware needs to be replaced, a lot of grime that couldn’t be washed off. It’s too bad these things over powered the memory of this cabin because the cabin itself is very nice. A few changes to housekeeping and a few kitchen cookware upgrades would make this great!
