We absolutely loved this house, great location and well set up. The big issue we had was that one of the two fireplaces just poured smoke into a room. When we called for support from the property manager, we were told someone would call back soon. No one ever contacted us and we were unable to use the fireplace - one of the main reasons we rented the property.

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.

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 property is in a beautiful location, very dog friendly with the fenced yard. Lovely view of the river. The Outdoor area is in need of cleanup and refresh. There were minimal towels (one washcloth/handtowel in each bathroom and no pot holders in the kitchen. As we were throwing in laundry on checkout we did find a load of laundry in the dryer, this may have been the missing linens.

The property is in a quite neighborhood with lots of trees. Having a fenced in area for our dog was wonderful...she could come and go easily from the house to the yard. Lots of interesting art decor inside to enjoy! It was clean but there was no broom available to sweep the floors. I would suggest having one because with so many beautiful trees on the property the debris is plentiful. We had a terrible experience using the code to open the door. It didn't work and had to call for help. Luckily there's a lockbox and were able to get the code but still had trouble opening the door, it took several tries and was frustrating. Other than that we had a fun time exploring Mt. Hood area.

Beautiful, on the river, and comfy bed!!

We loved this cabin, my husband, dog and I were really comfortable. Bathrooms are awesome - especially the jacuzzi tub. We enjoyed watching the river and driving about 15m up to the snow (we came in January). Salmon River Trail was close and fun, too. Couch wasn’t very comfortable but everything else rocked.

Riverfront Retreat

What a fantastic property in a great location. House is clean and comfortable with a ton of natural light. Fantastic views of both river and mountains. My dog loved having access to the large fenced yard, and I enjoyed the fast wifi and easy access to the nearby trails, breweries, shops and grocery stores. The neighborhood is peaceful and very quiet.

No help with refund for house with no water or electricity.

The property wasn't as modern as appeared in photos. Neither fireplace put out any real heat which was necessary when the power went out. We were told they were working on the power, so waited, didn't hear back. Then the pipes froze, no water, by now too dark to drive in blizzard like conditions (4pm). NOT good with small children in tow. Left in a.m. at first light. Cannot get any comp for day & night without water or power, and only $200 for night we didn't stay at all. Just wanted comp for 2nd & 3rd night, no cash back, but nooooo. We should have purchased trip insurance??? Really, I have never stayed anywhere that didn't comp me even for inconvenience, whether flights or hotels. Spent $1000 for one night. Oh, and I tried to change the trip 5 days before because the national weather service and ODOT suggeted not traveling due to severe weather and power outages, they wouldn't let us change to a different date. Friday, looked good so we went - Uh Saturday turned into craziness. I won't book through VACASA again!!

All great only issue was tiles are loose in shower in the onsuite and the block windows might have a leak with the down pour we had yesterday. Couldn’t find but had a towel there was a headrest and it became soaked. Will definitely keep this located saved for the future.

Great home on the river

This house has just about everything you need to cook and it was great being right by the river. Loved how open it was too. Some animal kept getting into the garbage bin every night, but you are on the mountain….Close to various restaurants and bars as well. For the owner, the gas grill was turned on when we went to use it. Maybe double check that it’s off during the cleaning process. Note: firewood provided for only ONE night, if you need more you’ll need to go to Thriftway down the road. We were used to Bend/Sunriver rentals where they provide stacks of wood. Great house overall tho! We will book this again

Peaceful Salmon River Stay

This is a lovely modern home in a great area on the Salmon River. Its description is very accurate - it has mid-century modern touches throughout. We don't currently have a dog but it's very clearly a dog friendly house, which, as a former and future dog owner, is appreciated. The kitchen is large and very well stocked. One item I couldn't find that would have been useful would be a flat baking sheet. The location is on a residential road not too far from the town's major shopping (Thriftway) and cute/nice-looking golf course. It's also very close to the Old Salmon River Trail, a wonderful easy hike and we saw lots of salmon. The house feels private but not remote. The weather was drizzly (shocker), but it's such a beautiful place and we loved having the windows open and listening to the river and the rain. We had a fire in the fire pit overlooking the river on the last night, which really made it feel like we were on a luxury camping trip! The master bath is divine. We watched a couple of movies, which worked out great. The one real drawback was the cleanliness of the bedrooms. Vacasa was very responsive on hearing this and luckily, because we don't live far away and due to needing more blankets in past rentals, we travel with extra bedding. I think as long as that's fixed in the future, it's an excellent vacation spot.
