We were there for a retreat with plenty of time for meditation teachings, cooking, and soaking in nature and Whistlers River House was perfect. I was the organizer for a FULL house of folks. I collected feedback from others at the end of the 6-day-stay. Plenty of rooms, with light-filled windows, neatly kept kitchen with all cooking amenities, and well maintained bathrooms. The only part that did not meet our expectation was the "bunk-bed-room, with three beds - an addition to the garage: it was not dusted, cobwebs with flies and spiders on every windows in abundance, beds smelled musty with hair, and there was no air-condition. Folks who slept in that room were not happy at all. We had to vacuum the floors, windows. I would recommend either listing that as an added extension for desperate needs, or upgrading that room to match other bedrooms. WE washed a few towels which smelled bad, but nothing major. Ruth was excellent in her communication and delivered water and toilet paper promptly when we ran out. There was a small fear of forest fire about 4 miles away, and Ruth was super-communicative and kept us posted; fortunately all fear came to an end shortly. Overall, this is an oasis in Roseberg; walking down the river was absolutely lovely and watching all the eagles, deer family, goats, cows, hawks, heron, etc. was delightful!
