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.

Our stay

We really enjoyed our stay here and if you have dogs this is the place to be with the fenced in backyard. Amazing views, loved all of the doors that lead outside and the view from basically every room! Lots of games, two wood fireplaces which were amazing and made it so cozy, and the giant jacuzzi tub with heated bathroom floors were our favorite things! Also, love all of the spaces outside to eat and chill out. Highly recommend this place to have a relaxing time!

Fantastic river home

The outdoor space on the river was perfect. The river views are the focal point of the home. The home is nicely furnished and you don't feel like you are in rental property. The kitchen is amazing and well furnished. Perfect location for hiking around Mount Hood. Neighborhood is very nice and the house sits on edge of the beautiful Salem River

Gorgeous getaway

Beautiful home with the most relaxing set up. Every night we enjoyed the fireplace with the doors cracked so we could also hear the river. The master bed was extremely comfortable too!

Wonderful river views

We love this house and this was our second stay because of how great the location is, the fenced yard with river views, comfortable living room with lots of seating, and convenient kitchen with all you need for meals. The location feels quiet and is nestled in the woods on the river but you are less than 10 minutes to everything you need (grocery, restaurants, coffee, etc.) and in the winter the slopes are right near by. We love that we can sit outside and enjoy the river with the dogs in the fenced area and they have plenty of yard to explore and relax in. The house has been extremely clean both stays and there are so many touches to make the time relaxing and enjoyable. We’ll be back again for sure!

Wonderful home in the forest and on the river!

This home was a delight to stay at. Temperatures were 100 + but it didn't feel like it in the woods. The kitchen had all the amenities needed to feel right at home. It was a fantastic trip and I highly recommend staying here. Thank you!

Salmon River Retreat

Very nice home right on the Salmon river with fenced back yard for our pups. Huge windows in living area and kitchen overlooking river. Loved the huge jacuzzi tub in master bathroom. Warm, cozy fireplace in living room. Walking distace to bridge and trails was fun too. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Getaway!

The retreat was lovely for two of us and the dog. The sounds of the river outside with the fire crackling were a great cold weather delight when not enjoying Hood 20 minutes away. Although there were only two of us, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with a slightly larger group as there is plenty of shareable space and privacy to enjoy!

Amazing

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.

Refreshing!

We were able to relax and refresh on our getaway to Welches! It was cold so we didn't use the patio, but we could still enjoy the beauty of the Salmon river right outside the door. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook with. Bring your own foil and plastic wrap. The home is very comfortable and spacious. We appreciated the heated floor in the master bath. We enjoyed being close to the Wildwood Recreation area, restaurants, hiking, and the Oregon Resort and Spa. The only drawbacks were the memory foam mattress in the master suite felt a little lumpy, like there was a ridge down the middle, and the WIFI is pretty spotty throughout the home. A great experience overall and I would definitely book a stay there again!

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

Not one of our favorites

Nothing particularly wrong, splendid surroundings for relaxing by the river but we have stayed in better cleaned and better equipped homes. The floors here were filthy, one closet had bed covers wadded up and thrown in with child’s pair of shorts wrapped up inside it, most of the pans to cook with had loose handles. During our stay the electric company turned the power off for 62 hours for fire prevention and the house “emergency” supplies were lacking, such as working flashlights and water jugs for storing water. We could have checked out and tried to find someplace else to finish out our vacation, but this particular location was chosen for specific location reasons and convenience. Nothing totally bad, just that we have had better for comparable price
