About this property

Salmon River Chalet, magical acre on the river, decks, BBQ, dog-friendly

Salmon River Chalet

Get away from it all in the Salmon River Chalet, a custom built mountain lodge on the Salmon River near the end of a quiet mountain road. With the Salmon River in your backyard and bordering the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness in the Mt Hood National Forest, you will feel a sense of calm and serenity and truly get away from it all.

The large open floor plan is perfect for gathering with your family and friends with the centrally located kitchen in the middle of the living room and family room. The massive wrap-around deck is ideal for summertime barbecues and outside dining or just relaxing with a good book and glass of wine. Take a stroll on one of the property’s pathways to the banks of the Salmon River or walk a half mile down the road to the Bonanza Trail where you can hike in one mile or several depending on your energy level.

There are two living spaces and two dining spaces in the chalet creating plenty of room to spread out and relax. The game room includes a flat screen HDTV, foosball, air hockey, board games, kid toys (Lincoln Logs, forest animals, cabin books, etc.) and broadband internet.

The cabin includes 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms providing enough room for the whole family to spread out and relax. The primary bedroom upstairs includes a king log bed, an en suite bathroom with soaking tub and tile shower with private forest views. Listen to the soothing sounds of the Salmon River in this luxurious master suite and enjoy a morning coffee on the master's private deck overlooking the forest and the river. A pack-n-play is already set up and ready for little ones in the walk-in closet. The three other bedrooms are located downstairs. The first bedroom downstairs has a king log bed; the second downstairs bedroom has two twin log beds and third bedroom downstairs has two bunk-beds for the kids to enjoy.

Your mature dog is welcome to join you for an additional charge.

Snowy fun vacation
We had a great time celebrating birthdays with my husband and two adult kids. Great location and beautiful property. Comfortable beds and lots of games. One of the fire alarms kept chirping every 20 minutes or so (downstairs bedroom with king bed). We changed the battery but it still continues to chirp, which makes sleeping difficult for whoever stays in that room. I saw a review mentioning this same thing from two years ago, so it might be worth checking it out, as something seems to be wrong with the unit.We would stay here again - thanks!

Great location & large cabin
The cabin was spacious. The location is tucked away and you can hear the river nearby. I would recommend staying here again however, I hope the owner fixes some issues first. The master bathroom shower does not drain/is clogged. This made for a gross/impossible shower situation. Second, we found the master bedroom bed linens to be gross and old. There were holes in the comforter & the entire sheet set felt like it was 100 years old. Not comfortable. We ended up sleeping with the blankets we had brought as “emergency backups.” Overall, the house was nice but it does need a little TLC in that master bedroom.

We stayed at this spacious property with plenty of walking area around the house. We very much enjoyed the space and comforts of the home. We enjoyed walking around the little trails and hearing the soothing sounds of the river. We hope to visit again soon.

Family get away
The cabin was very clean upon arrival, very well stocked kitchen, already had soap, shampoo, etc which is great! Check in process is perfect -no need to stop anywhere to pick up keys beforehand, just straight to the cabin. The notebooks of area information were helpful in choosing where we wanted to explore. The river is beautiful as well as the surrounding property. The area is nice and quiet, but close to grocery, hikes, Mt Hood area. We had a great stay!

Perfect Getaway
The house was a perfect home base for Mt. hood adventures. It was spacious, well stocked with games and movies, and you can’t beat the location. Only words of warning are the WiFi did not work at all and cell service was very poor, so we had to drive into town for online access. We also booked with “pets” and then were charged a second pet fee when we contacted them to indicate we had 2 dogs after only being able to select a generic “with pets” in our booking, so that was disappointing. Door code provided did not work upon arrival, but they were able to resolve that pretty quickly.

Salmon River Chalet
We had planned a camping trip for a year but one hundred plus temperatures were forecasted so we scrambled for an air conditioned cabin. It was perfect for adults, the kids and dogs. The property was like a private forest that the kids loved to explore, close to lakes and rivers for daytrips and room to relax at night. It was a great, although short, vacation.

Beautiful cabin on the River
Our family of 9 had a great time there. From the Grandparents all the way to the three year old. Lots of fun things to do in the house for kids and adults alike. The house itself was warm and inviting. It had a beautiful layout and direct access to the river. It was very clean and well stocked with everything we would expect in a vacation rental. Our only real complaint was the lighting. In the daytime the skylights did a great job illuminating the house, In the evening, the lights in the front living room and porch were pretty inadequate. We used our flashlights a lot. Other than that, we would highly recommend this place for a family get away!

Love it But Hard To Find
We loved our stay here and the entire family enjoyed the entire area. It was a little bit too difficult to navigate as it got darker earlier in the day and it was pitch black when we arrived. One of the rooms kept beeping throughout the day every half hour which we're assuming was a fire alarm needing new batteries. However it was still a great trip and we loved the labeled kitchen as we were able to cook through out the day without having to spend time searching for utensils. We definitely plan on returning in the future.

Very Nice Home
We stayed over the Fourth of July for 6 nights. The home was well supplied (even has a high chair that our grand toddler used). Great heating/AC (which not all homes have in that area). The only downside was the steep stairs. But since this is snow country, that is common. Close enough to Welches to be convenient, but also secluded. We had a really good time. Thanks, Dave and Sue
