About this property
River Haven on the McKenzie
It's hard to get any closer to the river without getting wet! This beauty has a huge covered porch that sits right on the river's edge and a dining nook with that same perspective. In fact, you still feel that close to the river in the large living room as you're enjoying a cozy fire in a real fireplace. There's also a large screen TV with satellite service. There's a nicely equipped kitchen with full size appliances and a laundry room too. The master bedroom is downstairs and it offers a king size bed. The full bath downstairs offers a full size tub/shower. Upstairs, there is another half bath and another bedroom with two twin size beds. The couch in the living room is a sleeper sofa, so this house can take as many as 6 guests. This home is so cozy and private that you might not want to leave, but we are surrounded by the bountiful Willamette National Forest. In fact, the world famous "Three Sisters Wilderness" area is just 15 minutes close and the Pacific Crest Trail is only 40 minutes east. Make sure you hike the Mckenzie River Trail. It is 26 miles of wonder and beauty stretched along the Mckenzie Hwy 126 all the way to Fish Lake, but you can easily take it in series of shorter hikes. Try the section between Sahalie Falls and Carmen Reservoir for something spectacular if you only want a small hike. The jaunt to the Blue Pool is also fairly easy, but watch your step as you progress through an ancient lava flow along the way. The fishing is out of this world and you can definitely fish all day right from our shore, but there are many qualified and pleasant guides available for your maximum fishing experience. Try a white water rafting trip with High Country Expeditions -- they offer half and full day adventures. Soak in one of three hot springs and dine in our three local restaurants. Tokatee Golf Course is open to the public and has been on the list of the nation's top rated public courses since its creation. Horseback riding is now also available at Rainbow Acres. Look up The Willamette National Forest online and you'll find an abundance of information and maps. you'll find enough to do to keep you coming back for generations. Feel free to ask Jonathan if you have any questions.

Had a wonderful time just relaxing and watching the water. Place is very clean and well stocked with whatever you may need. it’s a fantastic place to stay and hope to do so again. They do need better WiFi though but other than the stay was GREAT.
Beautiful location right on the river. Thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck outside, watching the river flow by. Kitchen well equipped, used the microwave and refrigerator. Did not get a chance to enjoy the fireplace, but living room / TV room was very comfortable. Appreciated hosts willingness to let us drop of some of our perishables at the house before check in time. We'll rent this place again!

Peaceful, tranquil and stress free! Woke up to the most beautiful view ever...check in was easy and we had complete privacy...Excellent food a few miles east at the Mckenzie Station is highly recommended but make reservations. A wonderful weekend for our 24th anniversary ❤️.
My husband, two sons (ages 11 and 13), and I had a wonderful stay at this home. The location couldn’t have been better for the numerous day hikes that we took, and we appreciated that everything at the home was so clean, comfortable, and well stocked with essential items.
Cozy cabin on the river with stunning views! It was the perfect to connect with each other and nature. The hosts were respectful and responsive. We will surly consider staying here again if the opportunity arises.
We enjoyed our short stay. Well furnished/stocked with everything you need. Peaceful setting with a beautiful view. We hope to come back and spend more time here in the future.
Our 2nd time back at this property--you can't get any closer to the river and spending the day out on the deck is pure bliss. Great property, super clean, and everything you need!
