What a great place and is better than advertised! The huge yard with a river running through it; you can float 3 hours from the top and exit right at the place! The stars are amazing and Crater Lake is just up the way. Hosts are awesome and check-in/out was clear and easy. Will be staying again for sure!

Perfect spot for a relaxing visit to Crater Lake

Lovely home with a ton of outdoor space for the kids to play. Loved the river running through the property, even if no fish were cooperating during our visit. This place is perfectly outfitted to be home base for your visit to an amazing National Park!

Great place to stay. Almost didn't need to leave to enjoy nature. Crater Lake Park is close by and can't be missed, but the property itself has access to the nice creek with fishing the stars at night were awesome. Had everything we needed. Host was great communicator as well. Internet winked out but host was extremely responsive and had it up and running in no time. Great stay

Great Location and Plenty of Space

This home offered plenty of space to relax inside and out, a well-appointed kitchen, and all the “extras” needed to make it feel like home. The multi-device outlets in each room are nice touch. And the location is perfect to get to Crater Lake. It felt like staying in my Grandparents house - very homey.

Peaceful River House

What a beautiful and peaceful place. The perfect base for exploring Crater Lake Park. The house had everything we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the back deck, watching the river flow by and enjoying a glass of wine. I would recommend The Rivet House ti anyone looking to stay in this part of Oregon.

Good Birding

The property is much bigger than the description indicates. It is well landscaped with several picnic tables down by the river. The porch is huge with good birding and outdoor dining. Can’t beat the location for a convenient entry point into Crater Lake NP.

Im sorry you were not happy with your stay. But the fourth bedroom is listed as a side house and the port a potty is also listed as the second toilet. This house was build in 1950 so you it is not like brand new.

Minutes from Crater Lake

This house is full of charm and character. Each day I found something new to admire that told just a bit more of a story. We like to eat in and this kitchen had plenty of bowls and pots and pans. The owner also stocked aluminum foil which always comes in handy. There is no dishwasher, but there is plenty of hot water. It was pleasant to see the river from several windows. The location is serene and only a short drive from Crater Lake NP.

Truly magical experience

This location is amazing with the large yard and flowing river that wraps around the property. The layout of the house works well and would fit a good size family. We only needed one bedroom so it felt very spacious. It was so pleasant to sit on the deck in the morning with a cup of coffee watching the sunlight shine on water flowing down the river. Melted away any stress I had. The fire pit was great as well.My only regret was that we booked this as a 2-night stopover on our trip from Seattle to Lake Tahoe. After staying here, I wish we had skipped Tahoe and just booked the full week at the River House.
