River Haven on the McKenzie

It's hard to get any closer to the river without getting wet!
This beauty has a huge covered porch that sits right on the river's edge and a dining nook with that same perspective. In fact, you still feel that close to the river in the large living room as you're enjoying a cozy fire in a real fireplace. There's also a large screen TV with satellite service.
There's a nicely equipped kitchen with full size appliances and a laundry room too.
The master bedroom is downstairs and it offers a king size bed.
The full bath downstairs offers a full size tub/shower.
Upstairs, there is another half bath and another bedroom with two twin size beds.
The couch in the living room is a sleeper sofa, so this house can take as many as 6 guests.
This home is so cozy and private that you might not want to leave, but we are surrounded by the bountiful Willamette National Forest. In fact, the world famous "Three Sisters Wilderness" area is just 15 minutes close and the Pacific Crest Trail is only 40 minutes east.
Make sure you hike the Mckenzie River Trail. It is 26 miles of wonder and beauty stretched along the Mckenzie Hwy 126 all the way to Fish Lake, but you can easily take it in series of shorter hikes. Try the section between Sahalie Falls and Carmen Reservoir for something spectacular if you only want a small hike. The jaunt to the Blue Pool is also fairly easy, but watch your step as you progress through an ancient lava flow along the way.
The fishing is out of this world and you can definitely fish all day right from our shore, but there are many qualified and pleasant guides available for your maximum fishing experience.
Try a white water rafting trip with High Country Expeditions -- they offer half and full day adventures.
Soak in one of three hot springs and dine in our three local restaurants.
Tokatee Golf Course is open to the public and has been on the list of the nation's top rated public courses since its creation.
Horseback riding is now also available at Rainbow Acres.
Look up The Willamette National Forest online and you'll find an abundance of information and maps. you'll find enough to do to keep you coming back for generations.
Feel free to ask Jonathan if you have any questions.

Riverside delight
The setting would be hard to surpass. Took a while to figure out the fireplace, but it worked great. Loved the instant hot water, shower, and the water pressure was a treat. The host went over and beyond as I became confused at checkout and an issue occurred involving the key. Would stay there again in a minute.

Keep coming back to this property not only for its location but for the simplicity this cabin offers. It's not a name brand luxury resort but you're also left wanting for nothing. Great space and the owners are fantastic people who keep us wanting to rent with them over and over.

Fabulous Deck
This is a clean, low frills cabin, with a most excellent deck on the river. Sufficient cooking and grilling amenities. So much surrounding forest has burnt in wildfires in recent years that I was worried about having no buffer from the main road, but it has just enough distance for the small swath of remaining forest to protect it. We loved nearby hikes (blue pool) and river rafting. The owners were quickly responsive to pre arrangements and to our one question during the stay.
