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.

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.

This house has it all. The location is in a quiet highly wooded area with a beautiful stream in the backyard. We kept windows open just to hear the relaxing sound of the babbling stream. There is also a jacuzzi and fire pit which add to the activities the house offfers. Also a basketball game in the garage and a game room we did not even have time to use. The kitchen is fully appointed with plenty of dishes, utensils and everything else. We were quite happy they had salt, pepper, oil, sugar and some spices which made cooking a lot more convenient. We ate meals inside and outside on the picnic table. The beds are comfy with plenty of linens. The only thing to be made aware is there are only 2 full baths in this house with all of these bedrooms. One in the master and one upstairs. Showering required scheduling. You are relatively close to fruit loop, Multnomah Falls, Bonnevile dam (45-60 minutes). We would all stay here again. It is a great property. I also need to mention that Vacasa was responsive to 2 issues we had and resolved them.

Gorgeous property and the best beds after a big day of skiing!

We had seven people in total - two kids, and five adults. There was plenty of room for everyone - a great big dining table for everyone to fit around, lots of comfy seating, and the softest beds I've ever slept in. The view to the river is picture perfect, and sitting in the hot tub while it snowed was just what we needed after long days up the mountain. The place was very clean and had pretty much everything you need - lots of toilet paper and toiletries were provided, there were towels for the bathrooms and the hot tub, and the kitchen was stocked with the basics too. We also noticed that the pans seemed pretty new, and the only head scratcher was the drawer full of whisks? (My niece counted at least nine!) The only thing to note is that the road to the house can be a bit tricky with the wrong kind of tires. My sister's rental car had some trouble getting out, but that's on us and not the house! Loved this place and would definitely stay again.

We loved everything about this property: the access to the river, the detached game room, the hot tub, high vaulted ceilings with views of the towering fir trees, proximity to great hikes, and spacious interior (slept 12 comfortably). Wish our stay could have been longer.

Our 2nd stay

This is our second year in a row coming to this vacation property! Overall the home and property are amazing. There is plenty of room within the house to spread out and the kitchen is fully stocked for any meal you’d wish to prepare! Unfortunately we were disappointed by a couple things this year. One, there was a large wasp/bee nest on a tree that blocked our river access. The kids were unable to safely get down to the water without risk of being stung. This was quite the bummer seeing as how we pay a lot of money for the river “access”. This is something that should be promptly taken care of so it does not become a liability issue. We also noticed that the upstairs shower did not drain well. This meant we were standing in several inches of water every time we showered, and the water would take several hours to drain from the tub after use. Again, neither of these are “end of the world” problems. But, when you pay so much to rent a property these are not things guests should be dealing with.

Great location

This house was very comfortable for our group of six adults and one infant. The location on the river is really nice and there are great hiking trails right up the road. Very close to Mt. Hood and there is a grocery store and restaurants close by. The property managers were very responsive to anything we needed. I would stay here again.

Poor communication

The house was lovely, especially the river just out the back door. We had a lot of fun with the basketball game in the garage, the beds were comfortable, and we had plenty of room to spread out. However—and it's a big however—the dishwasher was broken, and with six adults, three kids, and an infant, it was a lot to hand-wash the dishes three times a day. Additionally, the power went out on our second night there—and then the water went off, because (presumably) an electric pump pumps the water in from a well. Without drinking water or toilet water or heat or lights, we had to leave the next morning. That was four days ago, and we've yet to hear anything from Vacasa beyond a "thank you for reaching out, we'll do our best to assist you."
