Salmon River Lodge



The Space:

This spacious Welches vacation lodge is perfect for your next family getaway to wild and wonderful Mt. Hood! Welcoming up to 12 guests, its amenities include an outdoor hot tub, a great game room, and access to skiing, hiking, fishing, and general communing in the great outdoors!



Located in a peaceful wooded neighborhood far from city noise, this home is the perfect place to unwind and unplug, whether it's for the weekend or an entire week. But, if you'd like to be active, bring your golf clubs for 18 holes at Three Nines Golf Course just up the road, or bring your ski gear for fun runs and challenging terrain at any of Mt. Hood's three ski resorts (Skibowl, 13 miles west; Timberline, 20 miles west; or Mt. Hood Meadows, 25 miles west).



This home features large rooms filled with leather and wood furnishings, as well as modern conveniences, including updated appliances, a gas fireplace, WiFi throughout, and cable and DVD-equipped television.



Head outside to find an expansive backyard deck with seating for al fresco dining and a nearby covered outdoor hot tub. Just beyond the property lies the picturesque Salmon River, and it's just a short walk along a nature path to arrive at its rocky banks.



You'll have everything needed to whip up homemade meals, along with indoor seating at a six-seat dining table. There's even a gas grill for summertime barbecues.



When you're not off exploring the wilderness surrounding this home, a game room provides plenty of indoor entertainment with a card table, a bar area, a foosball table, and a TV.



Up to 12 guests are accommodated in five bedrooms. Four have king-size beds and the fifth bedroom has a queen-size and two twin-size beds.



Other amenities include a private washer/dryer and a wrought-iron bench overlooking the river on the backyard nature path.



Local attractions include Government Camp's village, which has quaint shops and country stores, hikes in the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness (a main trailhead is just down the street), and spa/wellness services at the Spa at Mt. Hood.



A quintessential mountain home with plenty of creature comforts, book this Mt. Hood vacation rental for an unforgettable stay in Welches!

Second time staying at this house with three generations of family. Very clean and everything you might need in the kitchen for a large group. We especially like having multiple king beds, the hot tub and a lovely view of the river.

Perfect for family

This home was perfect for our group of 12. We enjoyed preparing many good meal's in the well equipped kitchen and spread out at the dining table and deck to enjoy good food, conversation, laughter and the sun setting through the trees. The location is perfect for nearby hiking, sightseeing, shopping, dining, touring and enjoying this beautiful mountain

One of the nicest, most blissful cabins I’ve ever stayed in. Clean property, clean hot tub, lots of towels and bathrooms for our group of 8-10!The sound of the river right outside is so calming and peaceful.Couple of things that could use repair-The lazy Susan cupboard was broken off, the dishwasher is off track or missing wheels? And the dining room window locks are loose and coming off.
