McKenzie Bridge River's Edge Retreat, a cozy cabin on over two acres

Your worries will fall by the wayside as you drive down North Bank Road. The trees fold over the road and the road simplifies to a one paved lane as you near this property. You will turn off the road onto a gravel drive, wind past the 'glass pond' and roll up to the cabin on a generous circular drive.

The sweet cabin awaits you! The robust McKenzie River roars past the cabin and you can almost reach out and touch the river from the deck. Throw open the huge sliding door and enjoy being on the river while tucked inside this sweet cabin. Tons of sunshine pours in from the three skylights in the living area, and if it is too much in the summer months, draw the automatic blinds and cool the deck with an automatic awning.

This well-appointed cabin is less than three miles from Tokatee Golf Course. Enjoy dinner out at two restaurants where N. Bank meets the highway, one with tantalizing brisket and the other with a lovely live music venue. Clear Lake, Sahalie Falls, Lost Lake and Belknap Hot Springs are all nearby. After a days adventure, come home and barbeque on the deck. The fully equipped kitchen makes cooking fun.

This cabin is great for a solitary weekend of introspection, an intimate weekend getaway for weary travelers, or a playful weekend for a small family. We have provided a generous dog run if you cannot leave your four-legged family members behind.

the high speed reliable wireless internet will keep you in touch (if you must) and the Spectrum cable stations with stepped up sports channels will not disappoint the most avid fans.

Stunning riverside
Absolutely loved the rushing sound of the river just feet away from sitting on the deck. Perfect house for a girls get away. Restaurants close by were all delish. Only issue needed more sitting in living room and what’s with one roll of toilet paper. But still a great place.

Incredible
We have stayed at several cabins on the McKenzie River over the years, including our honeymoon. I believe we have found the one we will be returning to over and over again, as our honeymoon cabin burned down. Clean, amazing location, owner is very easy to work with. Highly recommend this property!

Beautiful cabin
What a beautiful property in which to wind down and relax for a few days. The kitchen was well stocked with all the important utensils, the bed was very comfortable, the deck was fantastic to sit with a glass of wine and watch the rafters going by on the river. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. Can’t wait for the next visit.

Nature's best!
A return visit for us, one of many. This clean, well stocked, and comfortable cabin is on a stretch of the McKenzie River that's hard to beat. The river was very high due to snow melt and recent rains - incredible power. Just sit back and enjoy!

Everything was clean and well stocked with soaps, shampoos, cooking utensils, etc. The river is literally right outside the sliding doors off the deck. It was quiet and peaceful. The property manager/owner was extremely easy to work with. That was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend this property for a peaceful getaway. Thank you, Mike!

Relaxing and beautiful experience
We love this area on the Mckenzie River. We are happy to find a place overlooking the river and we can bring our dogs. Having the fenced side yard was perfect for the dogs to roam around safely outside. The house has a great view and was very comfortable. Remote but yet close to a store and restaurant. Not too far from Sisters and right down the street from Belknap hot springs. Definitely will rent again! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Private and Peaceful
We had all that we needed here, and more. In fact, we've never encountered such a well stocked kitchen; this was much appreciated, and useful. The other thing we noted was COMFORT. Everything was designed and arranged for comfort - from the chairs, both inside and out on the deck, to the thread count and softness of the sheets. In essence we lacked nothing, and we enjoyed a lot of relaxation and reading during our four night stay here. If you are looking for solitude, this is the place for you. Much thanks and appreciation to the owner!

Great Views
We wanted something tucked away for privacy and quiet, with the sounds of water at night when we slept. This is what we got, and so much more. The moss on the trees, the deer in the yard, the pond, the clean clean clean cabin with every high quality amenity needed was there. This cabin was perfect for 2-3 people, well equipped with a great BBQ, wood stove, and exceptional sleeping. Best bed my husband has ever slept in! Hiking trails are close, every where you turned was a beautiful site.

Perfect "Nature Therapy"
We visit this area several times a year, but this is our first stay here. A delightful property to stroll around, including a large pond with nice reflections. The sound of the river is incredible, being right off the deck, it's always with you, soothing. Clean, comfortable, with a well stocked kitchen. For those new to the area, a comprehensive folder to help with local eateries, places to go and much more. Mike, the host, responds to any inquiries quickly, with a real sense of caring. We will be returning...

Exceptional!
This property is as advertised. Tucked along the McKenzie River is this private oasis that offers peaceful tranquility with stunning waterfront. Everything you need is provided. Observe fishing guides and kayakers on the river. Belknap hot springs was a treat. The fall colors were in full bloom. Will definitely return to this one!

Rejuvenating River Retreat
As soon as we walked in and my wife looked out the window to the McKenzie River, she was hooked! We both loved the home just for the location. We had also planned simple meals to prepare while at the home. I found the kitchen well equipped to enable me to do all the cooking I'd planned. All I missed there was a meat thermometer, but that didn't spoil what proved to be a perfect ribeye! The only struggle we had was with the digital lock on the entry door, but our hosts were immediately available by phone to help us resolve the issue. Thank you for sharing your lovely retreat by the river. So glad we found the perfect place along the McKenzie for us. We'd love a return trip to this location in the future.

McKenzie River bliss
My sister and I have done a fall Three Sisters backpacking trip for many years. This year both of us have some orthopedic challenges, so we opted for a day hiking weekend instead. I've always wanted to stay in a place right on the McKenzie River, and the photos of this beautiful river-view deck really appealed. The view did not disappoint! It was hard to tear ourselves away for the trails. I've stayed in a couple of Vrbo's and this was by far the best equipped, particularly the kitchen. There were even nice olive oils, spices, tea, and coffee in the cabinets and condiments in the refrigerator. The only surprise was several carpeted steps down to the bedrooms. This would not work for someone with significant mobility issues. (Thinking of our 84-year-old mother, for example.) I'd suggest putting a floor lamp or wall sconce over by the wood burning stove, as that corner of the room was pretty dark in the evening. Another small suggestion is elevating the decor in the small middle bedroom to a more "adult" look. The bed linens and colors in the larger bedroom were beautiful and my sister felt a little jealous. Our stay here made it very hard to contemplate going back to our tent in the wilderness next year!
