About this property

"UpRiver Nest" - Cabin on the Mckenzie River in Oregon

Perfect little riverside cabin for you.... or for you and your favorite person or .... pet.
This cabin is part of a 2.5 acre "private resort" with a real sense of spaciousness under a canopy of the old growth forest and surrounded by the ever present sounds of the river permeating this classic "Mckenzie" atmosphere. The riverside firepit area gives way to those long awaited fireside chats...or stories - and the Willamette National Forest beckons you to have an adventure.
On the edge of the Willamette National Forest and surrounded by its waterfalls, hot-springs and hiking trails. There are several local restaurants and pubs close by, including the new Grill at the Tokatee Golf course - just 2 miles west.
Comfy and cozy inside with an inviting couch, high speed wi-fi, a nice Roku TV and even a Keurig coffee maker.
All this and you get Jonathan and Lisa too - we've been managing beautiful riverside properties like this for over 17 years and are eager to help you experience what we already love about this Oregon paradise. Whether you need help at the cabin or just an idea of something fun to do today...give us a call. 541-419-2787.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Incredible little cabin with the river right outside the door. There’s a couple other cabins on the property but they have everything laid out very clearly so you have your own space and there’s barriers so it still feels private. We’ll definitely be putting this on the short list for places to go for a getaway!

The sight and sound of the river was magnificent! The indoor space was everything we needed. Another bonus was the contrast of how close we were to the highway, yet felt secluded in our surroundings! Really a gem of a vacation home!

This super cozy cabin was a wonderful way to spend our Christmas family weekend. We needed a weekend of R&R and it was a perfect way to unwind and just veg out. We would have planned simpler meals if we had known the kitchen and eating nook would be a little bit cramped but we made it work!

This was the perfect cabin for me and my husband to have a nice get away , fire pit was right on the water they provided us with plenty of wood, the bbq was amazing to have to cook while we were there the mini kitchen was perfect for all our meals. There was. Market only 3 min down the road with anything we needed. Hiking was so close and our fav hot spring was only 20min down the road. Thank you so much for your help with booking the perfect dates.

Exceptional Property & Management

This cabin is tucked in a beautiful forest & sits on the bank of the Blue River. It was the perfect place for my spouse, me, & our little doggy. The amenities were great, the cabin was clean, & our host, Steve, provided exceptional customer service! There is a walkway down to the river where we fished, & minutes to Clear Lake, hiking trails, & the market. The best part was the peaceful atmosphere of this cabin & area! We will return!
Huge beautiful green trees on the property.
Fantastic hiking trails everywhere!

Lovely Getaway

This was such a lovely short weekend away in the quaint little cottage. The river is just unbelievably beautiful, we spent hours outside. The little towns are lovely and close. There are 3-4 good places to hit up and we went to them all. Tokatee is also awesome and has good food and atmosphere even if you don't golf. The cabin is not isolated in that there are a few houses right next to it and a campground just a few hundred feet away but we felt far away from everything, which was exactly what we were hoping. Great spot, highly recommend.

Perfect Birthday Getaway!

We loved this little cabin! So clean and well maintained! For the most part it had everything we needed--we did try to cook a nice dinner one night and found the lighting in the kitchen to be a little dark, but most people probably don't use the kitchen much! We loved the fire ring next to the river and the privacy of the property even though there are homes immediately adjacent. The layout is well thought out and the owner takes obvious pride in this property. We'd stay here again (with out little mini labradoodle) in a minute!

This is a beautiful property. The cabin is perfect for two. Nicely furnished and a well equipped kitchen. The fire pit was stocked with wood. The McKenzie river is so clear and beautiful. If you can't relax at this property, check with your doctor. So peaceful and beautiful. Will definitely be back.
