Nice property, but some instructional materials about heating, the stove for people unfamiliar with gas cooking, more specifics about trash and recycling. At 75 I’ve stayed in many rentals and I can’t remember a rental that didn’t provide more information. kitchen is well equipped.

Cute property, but definitely not secluded
Property was very homey and the house was clean. The outdoor space by the river could definitely use some upkeep. The neighbor across the road not only watched us from his porch for much of our stay, he also originally thought we had left (after we unloaded things and then my partner pulled away in the car to run to the grocery store) and he not only came onto the property but actually opened the door and stepped into the house. When he saw that there were still people there he apologized and left -- but not sure what would have happened if we hadn't been there. So, yeah - lock the doors!

Lovely cabin in the river!
We LOVED the cabin, location riverfront yard and the sound of the river as we slept! Beds, bathroom & kitchen were clean and very well appointed and comfortable. The living room area needs a good cleaning. It smelled musty and my husband has allergies and couldn’t even sit on the couch. There were crumbs under the couch cushions as well. Unfortunately we had to move to another property though because the man that lives across the road was very unnerving to us and especially our teenage daughter. He would pace up and down the road and look in the driveway and once when my husband went out in car he came into the property right outside the window where my daughter and I were. We inquired about him, but no one could tell us if he was harmless or not, so we moved for peace of mind. We do wish him well if he is sick, but renters need to be aware of him and his condition when inquiring. Your home is a very sweet spot on the River none the less. We wished we didn’t have to move!

Family Rustic Getaway
We spent a week with the cozy cabin as the base for our family of four. Location is great- note: it was helpful to have an SUV as the road to the cabin is gravel and has many potholes. Also close to some *amazing* restaurants (Koya kitchen and a little further to food trucks at Sandlandia in sandy). We also cooked about half our meals at the house. We did day trips to many hiking spots, mt. Hood, and the coast, though our kids were also happy to play along the edge of the Salmon River in the backyard. We couldn't bring our pup but this would be a perfect spot for those who can. Also note that (as with many house rentals) if you stay all week, on garbage day you'll need to bring the bins to the main road; not a big deal but we were glad to have the SUV for this as well since it was not super close. Wifi connection was great. This was the perfect spot for our summer vacation!

Quiet Cabin Stay
This property was lovely for a quiet stay near Mt. Hood. We enjoyed listening to the river while enjoying the porch swing. It also had a well-stocked kitchen with a good selection of pots and pans for cooking. The beds are raised up pretty high and my 6-yo needed a stool (which was provided) to get in and out of the beds. Overall a nice stay!

Great getaway
4 of us 55 yr old ladies getting away! Had a wonderful weekend in this cute little cottage. We just came to relax by the river and that’s just what we did. Older cottage (was great) BUT right when we got there and sat down on a chair at the dining table and the chair broke! (I’m not fat! Maybe a tad over weight BUT not to break a chair!) Went to another chair, and super wobbly :( Other than that, wonderful place :)

Not clean
We arrived unpacked. Dishes on shelf had dried food on them, couches and chairs were dirty with food stuck to cushion. We immediately left and returned home. Did not feel safe with COVID cleaning protocols not followed. Requested 50% refund. Have not heard be back. Very disappointed. Can not recommend.

Meh....
The place was older and fairly clean unless you looked under or behind anything. There was a very strange, unsettling, and very nosy neighbor who eliminated any feelings of relaxation and isolation. Lastly the description was not accurate and the communication with the property manager was atrocious.

Great place, location and vslue
Quaint cottage house that offered everything. I come for business every 4-6 weeks to Portland and took a couples extra days to fly fish the Salmon River and relax. On the river and remote but just 2-3 minute drive to get your groceries ect. The price value for what’s offered is beyond expectations. You could see the Salmon spawning swimming upstream while sitting enjoying view from backyard. I could not think of one thing that they did not provide that you tell yourself why don’t they provide that at other stays? They let me check in early too and notified me of that.

Beautiful setting!
Rating 4 stars mostly because the coffee maker didn’t work! We are big morning coffee people, we had to get dressed and venture out to get coffee instead of just making it. I tried everything to get it to brew. The only other things were the couch is comfortable but really low and hard to get up off of. The beds are all really high! Luckily there was a little step stool in the bedroom closet or I don’t think I would have been able to get in! But the setting is magical. The neighbor who was mentioned in many reviews, “greeted” us before we got in the house and the next day I saw him through the window walk over and look up the driveway. A little concerning, but I think he’s just watching out for his neighborhood. Or nosey. Who knows. Sitting by the river or on the back porch was just peaceful and beautiful.

Getaway
Place was as described. Very clean. I was there with temperature 95. Cabin was very warm. No AC. I left a night early. Just bad timing. I would go again. There is a somewhat intrusive neighbor that is repeatedly discussed in guest book. Probably, should be talked to. Some women would be uncomfortable. Although he seems harmless.

Cheery Cabin by the Salmon
Loved the cabin and all its thoughtful details. Trying to resolve the fact that there was no water the first night (frozen pipes) was made difficult by the layers of VACASA./ VRBO. 24 hrs after reporting it, we got a call from VACASA saying the pipes were frozen so they were going to relocate us. By then pipes had thawed so we chose to stay. Requested s refund for first night which we received promptly but, of course, the added fees were not reimbursed. Will probably never go thru VACASA/ VRBO again.

Lovely cabin
Enjoyed our stay at this very lovely cabin. Especially loved the River passing by the property and a wonderful book that was available there to read. Only a couple of minor improvements suggested: 1) property was clean but high dust and spiderwebs was noticed and could be addressed. 2) Wi-Fi did not work properly and was needed on occasion. Having said that, it made it easier to unplug from electronics. Overall, we would book again, we did love it !!

I was delighted with my personal retreat- the cabin was lovely, and so peaceful. It snowed just enough to get that cozy winter feeling with the fire going and hot tea on the stove. My only critique would be that the rafters and skylight could use a dusting- probably not something everyone would notice. I would love to return again someday!
