Gorgeous getaway

Beautiful home with the most relaxing set up. Every night we enjoyed the fireplace with the doors cracked so we could also hear the river. The master bed was extremely comfortable too!

Salmon River Retreat

Very nice home right on the Salmon river with fenced back yard for our pups. Huge windows in living area and kitchen overlooking river. Loved the huge jacuzzi tub in master bathroom. Warm, cozy fireplace in living room. Walking distace to bridge and trails was fun too. Would definitely stay here again.

The property is in a quite neighborhood with lots of trees. Having a fenced in area for our dog was wonderful...she could come and go easily from the house to the yard. Lots of interesting art decor inside to enjoy! It was clean but there was no broom available to sweep the floors. I would suggest having one because with so many beautiful trees on the property the debris is plentiful. We had a terrible experience using the code to open the door. It didn't work and had to call for help. Luckily there's a lockbox and were able to get the code but still had trouble opening the door, it took several tries and was frustrating. Other than that we had a fun time exploring Mt. Hood area.

Peaceful Retreat

This property is absolutely amazing, with the Salmon River right out your back door. You can sleep with the windows open for a cool night with the river being easily heard from the house. Wide open living space is great for those with kids or dogs, as is the chain link fence in the back. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for the perfect mountain getaway, you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful river views

We love this house and this was our second stay because of how great the location is, the fenced yard with river views, comfortable living room with lots of seating, and convenient kitchen with all you need for meals. The location feels quiet and is nestled in the woods on the river but you are less than 10 minutes to everything you need (grocery, restaurants, coffee, etc.) and in the winter the slopes are right near by. We love that we can sit outside and enjoy the river with the dogs in the fenced area and they have plenty of yard to explore and relax in. The house has been extremely clean both stays and there are so many touches to make the time relaxing and enjoyable. We’ll be back again for sure!

Amazing

All great only issue was tiles are loose in shower in the onsuite and the block windows might have a leak with the down pour we had yesterday. Couldn’t find but had a towel there was a headrest and it became soaked. Will definitely keep this located saved for the future.

Refreshing!

We were able to relax and refresh on our getaway to Welches! It was cold so we didn't use the patio, but we could still enjoy the beauty of the Salmon river right outside the door. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook with. Bring your own foil and plastic wrap. The home is very comfortable and spacious. We appreciated the heated floor in the master bath. We enjoyed being close to the Wildwood Recreation area, restaurants, hiking, and the Oregon Resort and Spa. The only drawbacks were the memory foam mattress in the master suite felt a little lumpy, like there was a ridge down the middle, and the WIFI is pretty spotty throughout the home. A great experience overall and I would definitely book a stay there again!

We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed our time. The home was clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view of the river. It was peaceful and relaxing. The wood-burning fireplace was a highlight and made our evenings cozy. A great spot to unwind and enjoy the scenery. We’d definitely stay again!

The property is in a beautiful location, very dog friendly with the fenced yard. Lovely view of the river. The Outdoor area is in need of cleanup and refresh. There were minimal towels (one washcloth/handtowel in each bathroom and no pot holders in the kitchen. As we were throwing in laundry on checkout we did find a load of laundry in the dryer, this may have been the missing linens.

Beautiful, on the river, and comfy bed!!

We loved this cabin, my husband, dog and I were really comfortable. Bathrooms are awesome - especially the jacuzzi tub. We enjoyed watching the river and driving about 15m up to the snow (we came in January). Salmon River Trail was close and fun, too. Couch wasn’t very comfortable but everything else rocked.

Riverfront Retreat

What a fantastic property in a great location. House is clean and comfortable with a ton of natural light. Fantastic views of both river and mountains. My dog loved having access to the large fenced yard, and I enjoyed the fast wifi and easy access to the nearby trails, breweries, shops and grocery stores. The neighborhood is peaceful and very quiet.

Our stay

We really enjoyed our stay here and if you have dogs this is the place to be with the fenced in backyard. Amazing views, loved all of the doors that lead outside and the view from basically every room! Lots of games, two wood fireplaces which were amazing and made it so cozy, and the giant jacuzzi tub with heated bathroom floors were our favorite things! Also, love all of the spaces outside to eat and chill out. Highly recommend this place to have a relaxing time!

Fantastic river home

The outdoor space on the river was perfect. The river views are the focal point of the home. The home is nicely furnished and you don't feel like you are in rental property. The kitchen is amazing and well furnished. Perfect location for hiking around Mount Hood. Neighborhood is very nice and the house sits on edge of the beautiful Salem River

Wonderful home in the forest and on the river!

This home was a delight to stay at. Temperatures were 100 + but it didn't feel like it in the woods. The kitchen had all the amenities needed to feel right at home. It was a fantastic trip and I highly recommend staying here. Thank you!

No help with refund for house with no water or electricity.

The property wasn't as modern as appeared in photos. Neither fireplace put out any real heat which was necessary when the power went out. We were told they were working on the power, so waited, didn't hear back. Then the pipes froze, no water, by now too dark to drive in blizzard like conditions (4pm). NOT good with small children in tow. Left in a.m. at first light. Cannot get any comp for day & night without water or power, and only $200 for night we didn't stay at all. Just wanted comp for 2nd & 3rd night, no cash back, but nooooo. We should have purchased trip insurance??? Really, I have never stayed anywhere that didn't comp me even for inconvenience, whether flights or hotels. Spent $1000 for one night. Oh, and I tried to change the trip 5 days before because the national weather service and ODOT suggeted not traveling due to severe weather and power outages, they wouldn't let us change to a different date. Friday, looked good so we went - Uh Saturday turned into craziness. I won't book through VACASA again!!
