Super clean, nicely decorated home. Very comfy. Fenced in yard was great for our dogs. View of the river was wonderful. Only negative, need to replace the cookie sheet in the kitchen. Everything else was great!

We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed our time. The home was clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view of the river. It was peaceful and relaxing. The wood-burning fireplace was a highlight and made our evenings cozy. A great spot to unwind and enjoy the scenery. We’d definitely stay again!

The best part of this property was the outdoors. Being next to the river and hiking trails was essential. Our stay was for seven nights.For me, personally, this place was ok. It is well stocked, could have used more dish rags, but had what we needed. Some of the pots and pans need replacing.The house was surfaced cleaned but in need of a deep cleaning. Washing machine and dryer are old and filthy. Many areas were dirty. I washed all the blankets and sheets because I didn’t trust the cleanliness of the place. Jacuzzi tub jets, filthy. Outside was all weeds. Since we stayed during the Grasshopper Fire, our outdoor time was limited. We spent mostly indoors but did have a few days of nice hikes and enjoying the river. You do have to be careful climbing down to get to the water. It’s not like the picture with the chair by the river. I wouldn’t stay here again nor recommend this place, but that is my personal opinion.

Thank you, Mildred, for sharing your thoughts about your stay with us. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful outdoors and the proximity to the river and hiking trails. It sounds like you made the most of your time despite the challenges posed by the Grasshopper Fire. We genuinely appreciate your feedback regarding the cleanliness and maintenance of the home. It’s clear that we fell short in some areas, and we take that seriously. We want every guest to feel completely comfortable and cared for, and it’s disappointing to hear that we didn’t meet those expectations during your visit. We will address the issues you mentioned, including the need for a deep clean and the condition of the pots and pans, to ensure a better experience for future guests. Your insights are invaluable to us as we strive to improve. We hope that you might consider giving us another chance in the future, as we are committed to making every stay a memorable one. Thank you again for your feedback.

Didn't interact with a host, the property is managed by Vacasa and I was concerned about that. But the house exceeded expectations. Kitchen was well-stocked. Beds were comfy. View of the river was amazing. Only two minor issues: we couldn't open the outdoor trash can and the master bedroom was chilly, would recommend a space heater.

Beautiful cabin in a great location

Fantastic place. We were there in a snow storm so had some internet and snow plowing issues, but no better place to be under "house arrest" :-)
