Family getaway

The Rauch cabin was a very peaceful place to stay during our visit from California. Everything was easy and seamless, from booking to directions. The kitchen was well stocked and labeled and the deck was the perfect place to enjoy coffee in the morning.

If you like Amazing views, this place is for you.

This house has it all. From the deck that overlooks the Salem River, to every utensil you could need for cooking, and they even put glasses in the freezer, which made for a very nice cold drink. There was even a hammock stand, with the hammock in the garage for use. We unfortunately didn't utilize this trip, but maybe next time. Love this place.

Comfortable vacation house

The river out back was neat. I wouldn't mind staying here in the spring too! House is very clean, has everything you might need to cook with plenty of precautions for in case of emergency. Its just a 20 minutes drive to Ski Bowl.

Amazing getaway

It was exactly what we were looking for. A little getaway from the city and a nice time to unwind. The cabin was as advertised, it was fully stocked with everything that you may need and close enough to stores in case you needed some last minute food items. The owners make sure you know exactly what to do, and where everything is at. We completely enjoyed our stay. Thank you for offering your home to rent.

Our second stay here was just as impressive as our first! We especially loved the nature display of salmon jumping and sunlight on the river, enjoyed from the deck all day long. Thank you to the wonderful hosts!

Some places are houses, the Rauch cabin is a home, the feel of a home. Being on the Salmon river is neat, but special so this time of year with the fish moving upstream. Highly recommend. Thank you to the Rauch family

Relaxing Experience

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The sound of the river just beyond the back deck was so peaceful and relaxing. The location of the property was fantastic for getting outdoors and exploring the greater Mt. Hood area. The home was extremely comfortable and well kept.

Great stay

The place worked very well for us with lovely green trees all around and great deck overlooking river. Beds were excellent; I wish I knew who made them. Would happily stay again. Mt Hood was lovely but overly crowded at this time of year. Everybody wants to be in this beautiful area.

Peaceful getaway

Arrived late in the evening and awoke to the most beautiful deck view of the river. The house had all the feels of a cabin getaway, and the kitchen had everything we needed for our simple Thanksgiving dinner. Took a nap in the hammock listening to the water, we will absolutely be back!

Relaxing place to play some cards

My parents came to visit from Nebraska so my partner and I rented this place for the weekend. We loved playing cribbage out in the deck & our senior dog loved the sounds of the Salmon River. We will definitely do this again!

AMAZING STAY!

Our family had a wonderful time together at this amazing cabin! It had everything we needed and then some! We were able to cook many meals with everything provided and many stores minutes away! We even got some snowfall and went tubing up at the mountain which was really close too!! Getting up in the morning and having a cup of coffee on the lanai with a breathtaking view of the river was the best!! Such a peaceful place that we hope to be able to return to!

About the host

Hosted by Dixon Rauch

Host profile image
Owned by the three Rauch brothers; inherited from our parents who enjoyed the place for many years. We're natives of Portland and have been coming to the Mt Hood and Welches are all our lives.

Why they chose this property

A family second home for over 30 years, we are all busy guys so we love to rent it out to others.

What makes this property unique

A great, cozy, comfortable house, great year round. In the winter, there is nothing better than sitting by the wood stove and reading or playing games or watching a movie - unless it's the summer when it's hard to beat sitting on the deck right above the Salmon River and watching and listening as it goes by; with a great view of the tree covered mountains across the river. Very peaceful and comfortable for a short or long getaway. And all the activity you could wish for within miles: golf, hiking, fishing, biking, skiing, and more.
