Really cozy stay with access to the river! Kids loved the ping pong, foosball and dart. Relaxing under the trees in the hottub during a cold evening was wonderful.

Our family really enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. The steps and pathway to the river were fun and beautiful. We sat on the rocks and put our feet in the cold water! Since we were in town for a long trail race at Mt Hood. The hot tub was crucial recovery afterward. Towels were provided and easy instructions to clean the tub afterward. We were able to grill a nice dinner and eat on the porch and listen to the river rushing. So peaceful. The kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and fans were provided in each room for cool air flow at night. The kids enjoyed the ping pong table, and it was helpful to have laundry availability. All the amenities!We will definitely stay here again if we're in the area. Joe was super responsive. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We had an incredible stay at this charming cabin, perfectly nestled along the river, where you feel instantly at peace. The home exuded warmth and character, with so many thoughtful details that made it feel like a true retreat. The location was ideal for everything we wanted to do with a short drive up to skibowl. The hot tub under the stars was perfection. We cant wait to return!

Gorgeous, quiet location. Closet to restaurants and stores, but secluded enough to be away. Loved the hot tub. Funny house with table tennis, darts and foosball table.

Beautiful location

We stayed here for a week in the summer while our kids did the Mt Hood camp. Close to many hikes and bike trails. Just 30 min drive from Timberline Lodge. Was great to have the garage for bike and board storage and many hours spent playing ping pong ! Very easy to access off the highway but private location with beautiful views off the deck. The kids enjoyed playing by the river each day - close walk down the path. We also had s’mores at the fire pit. Overall amazing house and super fun to stay there.

Back deck overlooks the Zigzag river which you hear sitting on the deck or in the hot tub. Safe quiet neighborhood. Cozy cabin which is well equipped to cook but close to several restaurants. Great destination for a ski vacation.

Better than I expected.

We all thought the property was amazing, and even better than the pictures make it look. It was the perfect base camp for adventures at Mt. Hood. The river was so beautiful and there is a beaver dam a little ways down with beavers swimming about. Will definitely stay again.

Cabin by the River

Loved everything about this place. Clean, beautiful spot. The fact it had a grill and a hot tub was even better. Loved sitting on the porch listening to the river in the morning drinking my coffee. Wish we all could have stayed longer. Definitely remembering this place for the future!!
