About this property

Salmon River Cabin - Private, Hot Tub, Huge Deck/Yard, Outdoor Shower, Fire Pit

The cabin is located at the end of a dead end street with a few other friendly neighbors. To respect them, there is absolutely no partying and no noise after 10pm. We thank you in advance for abiding by these rules.

Salmon River Cabin has it all. Located at the end of the road and nestled along the Salmon River on 1.5 acres, there is something for everyone.

A wall of windows opens onto a huge deck for entertaining, which is also where you will find the very large hot tub that seats 8-10 along with an enclosed outdoor shower.

The yard is private and has room for everything you may want to do. There is room for your game of frisbee, wiffle ball, bocce ball, roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, or a short stroll down to our amazing swimming hole, which has its own beach and lawn chairs to sit and watch the river roll by. There is plenty of safe space for exploring or just being by yourself.

The house boasts a new kitchen with an open feel so the cook can stay connected to the guests. The living room looks out over the deck and yard and has a propane fireplace and stereo with iPod connection while the den/TV Room has a wood-burning stove. The first floor has an open floor plan with lost of space for people to gather, laugh and play games. There is also a laundry room and full bath on the first floor. The house has bocce ball and board games galore.

The bedrooms are all on the 2nd floor. The master bedroom (with attached bath) has a King and two Twins (not bunk beds). The 2nd bedroom has a queen bed. The 3rd bedroom has a queen and a twin over full bunk bed.

Salmon River Cabin is the place to go when you want privacy, nature and seclusion, while still being easy to get to and close to everything you may wish for.

We had the best girls trip! River is 5 minute walk away and had a semi private swim hole. We loved the rustic feeling of the house and of course the hot tub! We will definitely be back. We accidentally locked ourselves out after arriving, and the owner was responsive and helped us get into the house within 5 minutes.

Family vacation

We had an amazing trip to Welches! The house was perfectly sized for our group & very comfortable. The hot tub & outdoor shower was awesome. Loved the lathe yard! They offered plenty of supplies & had an easy check out process. A few suggestions-the hot tub cover is very heavy & hard to take on & off, the description about getting to the river & access were misleading. The house was a little “cobwebby” & the upstairs shower was difficult to work. These few things did not impact our amazing stay & we would love to stay again sometime!

Wedding weekend

We loved the property....very quiet, enjoyed the outside firepit, a bit icy but yhe hot tub was enjoyable, and the river was awesome. Had great sleep, a little surprised that all bedrooms were upstairs but no issue for our group. Wedding at Zigzag Falls and dinner at Timberline was so much fun.

We had a fantastic time at this gem! The house and backyard are spacious, just as pictured. There are neighbors but it feels very private. The walk to the river out back is like a very small hike but entirely worth it. We were there every day and the cold water was refreshing on the 90 degree days! Inside, the kitchen is nicely equipped, open but not too open. The den is an open space too but the noise doesn't carry to other parts of the main floor. Beds were comfortable - there was a nice mix of flat and firm pillows for all tastes. There is a skylight right above the primary king bed that doesn't have a curtain, so bring your eye mask! We were there in the middle of an unusual heat wave and this house doesn't have A/C. It got chilly in the evenings but even with windows open it took a while for the top floor of the house to cool down after such intense heat. It was fine, but good to know if you are going in the summer and have a low heat tolerance. Also, the power went out while we were there. From reading the binder and talking to the (friendly) neighbor it sounds like this happens now and again. Flashlights were on hand but we did have to drive into town to get a signal to be able to report/check in on the outage. It had a minimal impact on our stay, but something to be aware of if you have anxious travelers. Chris is an excellent communicator and we were grateful check in was so easy after a lot of travel. Highly recommend and would stay again!

True feel of a cabin getaway

Our family had an amazing time at your cabin. We loved the coziness and welcoming, warm feeling of the entire cabin as well as the yard and the Salmon River behind us. The sound of the flowing river was relaxing and we even had a bonus visit of a doe and two fawns one morning. It was an overall fantastic experience! Thank you, from our family. ♥

Great place to stay.

It was a great cabin for us. Lots of room stayed cool even when the temperatures were in the 90s. Only thing i would chand is the grill needs to have a deep cleaning and gas elements replace.

A very Peaceful stay

Our family enjoyed the cabin, views, proximity to the mountain and activities in the area. The house was clean and fairly well supplied. We really enjoyed the wood stove, being from GA, it was a delight. The hiking was stellar as well as the short drive to Mt Hood. Our grands really had a blast playing in the yard and exploring near the river. It really is a nice place. The only think I would change are the larger beds, The mattresses seemed like they were out of memory. The bunkbed and twins were more comfortable. All in all we appreciated our stay and benefits of the location. The good news is the couches were pretty comfortable. The owners were great at getting back to us quickly when we needed information or advice.

Good stay

Nice quiet property and the host was very accommodating which isn't always the case with VRBO. The location was great and the property was well stocked. It was a bit dirty and could use a good cleaning as there were lots of spiders and their webbing inside the unit. Overall we enjoyed the stay.

Amazing family cabin!

This is a perfect cabin for families. We had a gaggle of cousins and they had a blast. The yard is huge, with access to the creek and river. The tree fort got lots of play, and of course there was the hot tub. We will definitely be back.

Excellant cabin - hard for low clearance cars

Great back yard. Wonderful for family stay. Outdoor and indoor toys for family available. River access for fishing and relaxing. Only thing to take note of is that the private road to cabin is difficult for low clearance cars. ( gravel/dirt road with many deep pot holes)

We loved it!

The cabin was great. It was clean, the property was large and well kept, kitchen was well stocked and we really enjoyed having the amenities grill/fire pit/hot tub. Very spacious and worked well for our group of 8. There is a little trail that leads back to the river with a platform where you can sit and relax by the water which we also enjoyed. Neighbors were very friendly. Chris was a very responsive and accommodating host. We look forward to booking again in the future!

Life saving crockpot :) Spent the day before our trip preparing ingredients to throw in my crock pot when we arrived ... Only to forget it. Walking in to find one was amazing! The hot tub was my favorite part, although it took me a while to figure out how heat it back up. Just wish we had more time.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Zervis

Why they chose this property

We bought this cabin initially because my wife and I fell in love with the property. It is magical here. Its private with places to explore, swim and play. A creek that runs behind the yard that allows for fun and games, along with a forest to explore and the best swimming hole on the Salmon River. We redid the cabin to match the property--warm and open and a fun place to entertain. It really meets the needs of our family and our guests. We have made some amazing family memories and hope you do the same.

What makes this property unique

Relaxation, this place is quiet and yet close to all the activities you want on a get away. It is within walking distance to golfing and professional croquet, close to year round skiing, hiking and mountain biking. We have used this as a base for white water rafting or fishing expeditions as well.
