Charming retreat right next to the river. It was lovely to listen to the river as I drank my coffee. I imagine in the summer it’s even better. We cooked a Thanksgiving meal and the home was stocked with everything we could possibly need to cook with. The home is well kept and clean. The communication with owner was quick and clear.

The property was easy to get to and well equipped. We enjoyed how quaint and cozy the house was. The view was very beautiful, often we would either be on the back deck or inside with the door open with the screen. We could easily see staying there again.

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.

all in all we would stay here again. The house was very well equipped except there was no hand soap for the shower and the room with the shower had a very small bathroom. Everyone remarked on how long the hot water took to arrive to the showers. The local would be hard to beat for adults but not much room to roam for kids. If you want to kick back and watch the river go by and watch the salmon this is an ideal location. The neighbors were great too.

We enjoyed our stay here. It was pouring rain most of the time, so the wood stove was greatly appreciated and made the living space very cozy. This property was clean and well kept. The communication with the owner was very good. I would definitely stay here again.

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.

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.
