Dog-friendly cabin w/ private hot tub & chef's kitchen in a secluded setting!

Our family of 6 adults spent the Thanksgiving holiday (5 days) at Rivendell. We had a long list of criteria in our search for the right home to rent, each person wanting something specific, ie: at least 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, in a remote secluded area, but close driving distance to a town with some restaurants, views with water, fireplace, hot tub, well equipped kitchen to prepare the holiday meal, large table where we could all sit to eat together, and a decent sized gathering room for games and movies. A long list for sure...but Rivendell met them all! The quirky way the house is laid out actually lends itself to openness and privacy at the same time. I was glad I could close a door between bedroom areas and the kitchen to accommodate the early risers vs the late sleepers. The whole house was clean, and comfortable, and the furnishings / decor were nicely appointed without being over decorated, so it felt a more like a cross between a mountain cabin and a regular home. Attention to detail was paid in the bathrooms too, double-headed shower in the master, and nice tub and shower combo between the other 2 bedrooms. We didn't use it, but there was a nice laundry room off of a smallish closet / room that had a single pull-out bed. It would be perfect for a small child since it's adjoined to the master by a door. The kitchen was well lived in by all, with a cute little table that was cozy to sit and chat. I was glad for the double oven on Thanksgiving, and the quality cooktop, coffee maker, and even glass pie plates that were available for use! We enjoyed using the basement ping-pong table for a few tournaments, and the hot tub was perfect on the ONE night that it didn't rain! I'd love to go back in the spring or summer, because the outdoor spacious deck, which also includes a fire pit and table, would be a beautiful place to hang out. The views from the deck and the rest of the house are gorgeous, and the landscaped areas are designed with regard to nature's surroundings. Overall it was a fun, easy place to feel comfortable and at home. All of us said we'd go back again! Thanks so much for a memorable 2018 Thanksgiving!

We were so very impressed with this cabin. It was just the two of us but had enough room for so many more (three bedrooms and 2 baths with showers). The stove took a bit of trying but we found the information in the drawer - thanks for that. Kitchenware is available but bring all that your comestibles you need to prepare your meals. Downtown Hood River is 15 minutes away.

Everything was spotless, convenient and just wonderful. The propane fireplaces, the propane fire pit, the hot tub all were fabulous. We're already planning our next trip to Hood River.

The house was great. The location was very green with rivers and trees.

We enjoyed the location and the overall home. But 80% of the windows did not have screens, therefore bees and flies continued to be a problem the entire weekend. It was obvious from some cobwebs on lower legs and furniture that dusting and housekeeping hadn’t been very thorough as well. Plus a lot of the locks on the doors were very hard to work and even a few of the adults couldn’t work them properly

Beautiful house with everything you need for a great stay. Hot tub, fire pit, trails, creeks and ponds on the property. Would definitely stay here again!
