Not exactly what’s represented
Our stay was good, that being said. It’s listed as being secluded and private. It’s far from private and only secluded because of the location. The need to list that the hot tub is not private and it is not next to the house.. it’s across the muddy pine needle filed parking area and down a muddy trail. The hot tub is a great feature, but if your looking for seclusion and privacy.. this may not be the place for you. The house has a spa bathtub, that would be great if the neighbors construction guys didn’t walk by the clear glass window that is right at chest lever for a 5’9 person.. I will never understand why windows have see through blinds.. ridiculous when right next to the house and windows is the trail everyone seemed to use during our stay..on top of that, you only get about 1/4 full, about an inch above the intake and the jets before you run out of hot water.. got a big tub, you need a big water heater. Once I went to get in it.. the jets failed to work. Could have been operator error,but all you have to do generally ispush the button, you should be able to turn the button for different speeds is what it looked like, I couldn’t turn it. Last complaint why no coffee pot.. French press kinda sucks if you are in a hurry and want more then 2 ounces of coffee.. they could have at least had coffee for the Kurig .. but no, only tea! This is the USA- we drink coffee here. Lol. Threat view from the master bedroom.

Simple Necessities lacking
No toilet paper, paper towels, no pans or pots to be able to cook a meal. No hand rail on stairs. I was holding my baby and slipped down the stairs and hurt my back so bad.

Just what we needed
Great little spot for peace and quiet. Excellent view of the river and the hot tub and bath both worked well. The kitchen works but is a little more bare bones, thanks to a previous review I had brought all the spices and cookware I would need and was able to make some pretty tasty meals. Netflix worked and the place stayed warm throughout our stay. Definitely would come back to this little spot nestled in the woods.

Great secluded property
We had a wonderful stay; the property is quite cozy and secluded. There is no cell service at the property, but the Wi-Fi, worked great. We brought a selection of holiday DVD's with us but was sure happy to find we could watch Netflix, as we never did find the advertised DVD player. Also, we tried to follow the checkout policy, but never could locate the dishwasher, but no big deal, we just did the dishes by hand. We did attempt to use the provided BBQ, but as you can see the deck through the grill grates, we elected not to use it. All in all, it was very quiet, loved listening to the river below, and very comfortable.

the views around the cabin and the river are beautiful is quite private the place there are some cabins around but it does not bother you, inside the cabin the internet did not work we spent two days without being able to hear from our family and the phones have no signal, for On the other hand, if I felt like the owners did not take care of many of the details, as everything is a little neglected, if they did it in the right way it would be an excellent place but for now I will only say that it is ok, just that and nothing more.

Very misleading listing
Our family spent a week at this property, and while the house was pretty clean and the kitchen was well equipped, the description of the property is very misleading and the vacation didn't meet our expectations at all. 1) Internet connection, cell coverage, landline: it says that the internet connection is spotty. It's actually not true. In order to get some internet you have to reload the router, and then it appears for some 15 minutes and goes off again. There is no cell coverage at all and no landline in the house. So most of the time you can't connect with outside world by any means even for emergencies. 2) River access: there is a narrow path full of weeds and pretty steep stairs leading to the stony path to the river. You can't really swim there because there are lots of rocks of all sizes, and for fishing you have to get to the middle of the river somehow. So the most our kids could do there was just throwing small rocks into the water. 3) One acre territory: maybe it's indeed one acre in total there, but it's all covered with weeds, fern, ivy and all sorts of stuff, so you can't actually walk there or use it in any way. And after we saw a couple of snakes there, we didn't want to explore it any longer. Overall, we're very disappointed and won't be back. Again, if the description was fare, we would never pick this place for our family vacation.

Anna, we are happy to have hosted your family’s visit. We are sorry for any concerns during your visit. There is a landline phone. It was in the cupboard but has since been mounted to the wall for easy access. There is cell service in the area based on what carrier guests use. The posted information about the WIFI is correct in that it is spotty. We want guests to know and be able to prepare prior to arrival. We will update the information on river access. We try our best to get the area around the home mowed and taken care of with the available staff that we have at this time. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.

Excellent Place to Stay, Beautiful Atmosphere
This is a beautiful rental home, in a beautiful area. I was astounded upon arrival to see the location of the river and hot tub in relation to the home - the pictures online truly didn’t do this place the justice it deserves. It was marvelous and perfect for our romantic getaway. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: There is no cell service. Usually no big deal, but very bad during the winter storm that occurred during our stay. The private road remained unplowed with over a foot of snow when we were supposed to be leaving. In case we couldn’t leave we walked 3 miles to a local mercantile for some extra food supplies. Wifi worked on the property so we downloaded an app to make phone calls and contacted the property management company. We were offered another night’s stay but with worsening conditions we weren’t willing to take a chance of trees falling or power going out. Eventually our last resort was digging out a path long enough to gain momentum and drive to the main road above, about a quarter mile away, only possible with all wheel drive, getting stuck 3 times along the way. Definitely an adventure and vacation to remember. Please just be aware of how isolated you will be if there is bad weather on the forecast. Come prepared. Had some issues with getting timely responses with property management but they made up for it in a reasonable manner.

Fantastic Hideaway in the Woods!
This is SUCH a cool property! Quiet, secluded, comfortable. The beds were comfy, the linens were newish and lovely, the kitchen was reasonably stocked, the views are stunning, and the WIFI was fine for our vacation purposes. We had a little trouble with the hot tub and the in-house bathtub, but the property manager was a big help in getting maintenance onsite quickly. Will definitely keep this on our go-to list when next we are traveling through the gorge!

Lovely secluded hideaway
Absolutely, ideal for my taste. Quiet, hidden by towering firs, babbling brook (and access to the river!), private hot tub. There is even a little nook for a working desk when I had to step away for a little work. All this within a very reasonable drive from Portland. Says it sleeps 6 but for my taste I wouldn't have more than 4 there. The driveway is a little tricky but I suppose it wouldn't be worth it if it wasn't. No oven (toaster oven). Not a problem for us, just impacted how we shopped for groceries. In all, it's our new favorite place to go. We have already booked our next trip there!

Quaint, but lovely
This is a nice little private gem. There are a few small drawbacks like no oven and limited kitchen stuff and communication from Vacasa was slow. We also couldn’t find the DVD player. That said, the property itself is lovely for a simple riverside getaway.
