The property is beautiful. My kids loved it. You are far out enough to feel like you are in the woods but still have great amenities close by. We will definitely visit again.
This place is so nice. We definitely want to stay here again. Kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of wood for the wood stove, great record collection and soothing sounds of the beautiful Salmon River. 10/10 would highly recommend.
The property was even more beautiful than in the pictures and we had a great time enjoying everything it had to offer, form the river, to the bbq, to the hot tub, and the patio. With a grocery store close and Mt. Hood being so close, we were able to get on the slopes before the parking lots filled up. Very satisfied with our choice!
Perfect spot for a wonderful family get- away. Host has provided so many things to add to your visit, nothing is missing. Just bring yourselves and some food and you are set for a relaxing, restorative time. A

Thanks for staying again! We are always working on improvements, more to come.
Our family had a great stay here. The accommodations were exactly as described and we just loved it here. We especially loved the vinyl collection, hot tub, location on the river and overall charm. Would definitely recommend!
Great cabin for 5-6 people, very cozy and nicely appointed.

About the host
Hosted by Vince Onstad
Having grown up in Montana I have a great appreciation for the mountains and being outdoors. In the early 2000's I was living in Alaska flying bush planes where I met my future wife who also shares my love of mountains. She moved to Portland to finish her degree and I followed. We ended up settling in Portland and started a family! With two young kids we decided it was time to get back to our mountain roots and we purchased the cabin. We love coming to it year-round as every season has something to offer.
Why they chose this property
Simply put, it's awesome! I realized the moment I pulled in the driveway it was the one. I really didn't feel like I needed to see the inside of the cabin, the location alone was enough for me. As it was, the cabin needed some love and I have since carefully brought it back to life, while honoring its original features. It is truly a magical place that I love taking my friends and family for any reason and I think you will too!
What makes this property unique
The cabin is an original that cannot be recreated. It has a sense of seclusion and privacy while being so close to all the mountain amenities.
