  My Husband and 9 year old son stayed the weekend here and had a magnificent time! We don't live far but needed a getaway and this was perfect. So relaxing whether we were looking out the window or sitting on the back deck taking in the adventures, trails and river right all within walking distance; Or vegging out in front of the TV (which was very tempting with Cable, Netflix, Bluray, X-Box 360 etc.) and why not, we were on vacation! Of Course Wifi feels like a necessity these days with all of our gadgets and they didn't miss a beat. We were able to connect right away without fail and no problems through out the entire stay. There is a TV in almost Every room, of course our son was living like a king and the darts, video games and other kid friendly activities provided in the home were more than enough to keep him busy when Mom and Dad wanted some alone time. If he got bored, he has a backyard of adventure at his fingertips where we encouraged and even joined him from time to time walking out the back door to find an AWESOME fort (Made by a family who stayed prior to ours) and explore nature at our finger tips. This backyard was also a blast for our Lab; Gabi who is an extension of our family and we were So happy we were given permission to bring her. Although we chose not to venture out and truly take in the relaxation there was Still opportunity to go to the community pool, visit the market just down the road, skii snowboard etc. or go out the the local Bar if we had the luxery of a sitter. I would LOVE to come back again sometime with no children and have a little bit more freedom. The Dart board and poker table downstairs was a lot of fun and would be even more fun with friends! We were Really impressed by the extras such as the Emergency kit, pack and play provided (in case of an infant), the basic spices in the cabinet and Shampoo, Conditioner AND Body in the shower, Wow! The Only thing I could think of we could have brought might have been some movies since the Blue Ray DVD players were available but with Netflix it's not really THAT Necessary. All in all we give it 5 Stars and can't wait to come again. :) Sincerely, The Lewis Family :)

  Only two of us so the accommodation seemed very spacious and was a good base for many hikes, particularly early in the season. Lovely quiet spot with the river behind.. Fixtures and fittings all seemed new or in very good condition and the house was exceptionally clean. We appreciated the extras like Netflix and WiFi and the owners were very helpful in dealing with with all our questions.

  We stayed in the Mt. Hood area over spring break with our 2 teenage kids and their friends and loved the property!!! The close proximity to the ski areas was great! The house was very spacious and everyone had plenty of their own space--especially since it rained much of the trip and we were homebound quite a bit! We all really enjoyed the game closet, great surplus of kids' games and movies available! What was a huge surprise was the close proximity to the river--we knew it was just a short walk, but the view of the river was great and we enjoyed hearing it from the patio! Rain or shine, we loved the walks along the shore! The house was exceptionally clean and homey and the amenities were great. the master shower with 2 shower heads was AWESOME!!! Everyone in the house utilized that for daily showers! There were a couple of things I would consider (as I currently manage 11 rental properties myself): 1) It would have been great to have a later check-out time. The owner's manual asked that we leave the house in the same condition we found it (wash/unload dishwasher, strip beds, do some laundry, etc.) and with 4 kids we were up at 8am cleaning in order to get out by 11am. Either a later check-out or consider raising the cleaning fee (which we would have gladly paid!) so that these things can be done by someone else (just my suggestion--would've been nice to have enjoyed that last day more). 2) There were no hangers in the master closet--would be a wonderful addition! 3) The kitchen has most ammenities, but could use items like large salad bowl, more cooking utensils, frying pans, etc. Overall, we really loved the property and would stay there again in a heartbeat. After checking out, we went across the street to the indoor pool at the RV place and it was a brilliant idea before getting in the car for a long ride home!

  Owner response: We have since added a set of hangers for each bedroom and have stocked our kitchen supplies with more mixing/salad bowls and a larger variety of cooking utensils. We are also offering guest the option of having a later check out of 4pm, for an additional $20, if we are not expecting another guest arrival that day.

  I have never been more impressed with a vacation rental. We stayed here in the early spring, and I hope to return in the summer. This home is both beautiful and comfortable. If we needed it, it was there... from a baby gate to poker chips. Every room was decorated so tastefully, and the linens and bedding were great quality. The bedrooms were laid out well, and worked great for our large group. The kids claimed the downstairs, and the staircase, and the adults got the upstairs with the awesome view of the river. Saturday night, we swapped. It was so fun...poker and darts for us, and the kids watched a movie on the huge TV. I felt like we were on vacation, but I felt at home. The river was right down the trail, and it was spectacular. The neighborhood was so quiet and the house was at the end of the street so no traffic noise. We drove to the snow one afternoon, but noone wanted to be gone long. I have never seen a cleaner rental home, ever. It was spotless. The double shower was luxurious. The tile in it was so nice you didn't want to get out. Everyone had a great time for a different reason, and we got to spend it together. The owners were thoughtful and attentive. Top notch communication. Thank you!!

  Upon pulling into the drive, our impression was, ok...The moment we walked in the door our opinion went to WOW! The decor was impressive, not your standard rental type stuff we were used to seeing. THEN, we walked to the back deck windows, the river was amazing. Our kids were out the door and headed down 5 minutes after we pulled in! There is a nice little path, with a bridge (the kids loved!) down to the banks of the river. My husband, being the OCD type he is actually timed our walk, 1 minute 10 seconds at a leisurely pace! The view and river aside the home is impeccably furnished with families in mind. The downstairs game area was perfect for our guys to unwind with a netflix movie and a game of Jacks while us, the adults, enjoyed a bottle of wine with a fire and the deck door open to hear the river. We are already planning a summer trip back. the fire pit is calling our names for s'mores!

  We were surprised as soon as we walked thru the door to find a cute little basket of easter goodies the owners had left for the kids!!! Within minutes our kids were out the door exploring the back woods and walking along the river. If you stay here you might even find a fort they built. We were most impressed with how nicely decorated and clean the house was. The closet was stocked with tons of fun stuff for the kids The layout was great because the parents can relax upstairs while the kids play downstairs. I think I can speak for our entire family that the best thing about the house is the AMAZING dual shower heads in the upstairs bathroom ... as one of the kids said "it's like HEAVEN". We would absolutely stay again!!!
