Beautiful house, property and location. We loved indoor and outdoor spaces, and it was very comfortable for our party of 8 adults, 1 baby and 2 dogs. Would love to come back for a longer stay another time. The management was very helpful fro m the initial booking using a credit, to several questions right up to our arrival - prompt and professional.
We had the BEST time! We had age ranges from 45 to 5 years old and everybody loved every second. The kitchen was fully equipped for breakfast lunch and dinner. Oh wait there’s also an awesome covered outdoor fire place and a hot tub plus acres of exploring. We will be back 100% thank you!

Probably the best vacation rental we've stayed at so far. The view is unbeatable. Our family spent a lot of time admiring the mountain and forest in the back yard. We also enjoyed the ping pong table and shuffle board in the garage. We would love to stay here again if we're back in the area!
Good place for families looking to stay near mt hood

Our family absolutely loved our stay here. The house itself is amazing and well stocked. We loved the views of the mountains through the big windows off the back of the house. And great outdoor spaces with a hot tub and outdoor fireplace overlooking a beautiful meadow with wildflowers and the sounds of a rushing river about 100 yards away. The location is perfect, feels very secluded but only about 5 minutes away from the small town and a few restaurants, etc. Also close to some great hiking and the drive further up Lolo pass road has amazing views. We can’t recommend this place highly enough!
The home, property, and environs exceeded expectations. We met up from across the country for a mini-family reunion, and the stay checked every box we’d anticipated and some unexpected, magical ones as well. There’s nothing like witnessing spring unfolding in the Mt. Hood area, and this place helped us make lasting memories close the heart of each generation present. Thank you for the thoughtful details throughout and for letting us share this beautiful place!
Great location! Super close to Mount Hood for snow sports, hiking, etc.

My family had a wonderful stay at The Big Buck Lodge. It was very spacious and had all home amenities. The view was amazing and the hot tub was a plus. We enjoyed the outside fireplace where we gathered and roasted marshmallows. Herminia was great and promptly answered a question I had. Overall we enjoyed ourselves at this rental. Would definitely rent again.
This is an amazing cabin. Wonderful secluded location, beautiful outdoor fireplace, well stocked kitchen. It was perfect for our weekend getaway.

We had a great time. Went for a relaxing mountain getaway and this place delivered! The views of the wildflowers and foothills out the living room windows are wonderful. The house was clean and well stocked. You are close enough to restaurants and a store but far enough away to really feel like you are in the forest. Our dogs loved walking the trail and going down to the river. We would definitely stay again. Also, the management was fantastic.
The place was beautiful and we would definitely stay there again. Only things keeping it from being 100% perfect were: the microwave doesn't work, the dryer is dying and extremely loud, all of the hand-soaps were empty with no refill soap available, the coffee maker had no filters that fit, there was no laundry soap and the soap for the dishwasher they left a note saying do not use, and there was no outdoor seating to enjoy the patio and view. I think all of those things were the responsibility of the rental facility and not the owners. When we reached out, they responded promptly and tried to help but misunderstood the needs of the house. All in all, it was still a spectacular place to stay, very clean, and we had a fabulous time! My family and I would like to thank the owners for sharing their home with us and for the memorable weekend!
My wife and I had an incredible time at the Big Buck Lodge. The house is beautiful and the property it's on is gorgeous. The house was clean and stocked with most of the essentials. Being close to the Sandy river with pretty trails through the forest made the spot even better than we could have imagined. We would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat. While I'm giving the house and our stay a five star review, here are the only things we didn’t like: - There was no foil, but there was parchment paper? - There was no olive oil, spray-oil, butter, or other common cooking staples - The plastic wrap was so cheap it melted in the microwave (possibly due to the issue I mention below) - The plates are cheap and are thick ceramic that heat to extreme temperatures in the microwave while your food remains luke-warm - The pans were small and in awful shape, and the knives were dull - There was no clear instruction for how to properly use the dishwasher or washing mashine, but the checkout instructions ask you to load and run both - The ping pong table needs to be replaced - Overall the house-specfic details and instructions were lacking in the guest book If we come back again, we'd bring more of our own essentials to have an absolutely perfect stay.
We had an amazing stay at Big Buck Lodge!
The home and location was ideal for our family.. the home was welcoming and cozy; the property was serene and the ease of location to the many of Mt Hoods trails, restaurants, shopping, etc!
We hope to return to Big Buck Lodge during the winter months!
This property was a slice of heaven during the Thanksgiving holiday. Everything ran smoothly and my family had the best time—we will definitely return at a later date!
