River front house
Very nice property…..it had plenty of room and accommodations for a larger group of people if needed. The fact that it had lots of towels board games extra bedding and plenty of dishes the river was gorgeous and a couple of sweet dogs from the neighborhood stopped by for a visit. I highly recommend this place.

Great view and cozy for families
First of all my whole family enjoyed this place. Very quiet and in the woods. Right near the river. Place was very clean and had games to keep my kiddos busy. Also, the first day we were there the dishwasher stopped working they had someone out there in a few hours to fix it. I would recommend this place for a little get away

Great picturesque spot!
Beautiful spot, and outfitted GREAT for recreation and fun! The kitchen is outfitted very well and things are well maintained. We did message the hosts to ask for an early check-in, but never heard back. Our only critiques on comfort is the beds - the mattresses are pretty old and the pillows are all really thick/tall. Beyond that, this location and the care that goes into the property make it a great place to be.

A beautiful place, but beware of bats
Overall our visit was great, biggest exception being having to chase bats out of the house a few times. Pros: * Direct river access * Beautiful view from the deck * Hot tub was nice * Plenty of space in the house * Comfortable beds * Plenty of extra blankets and bedding * Off the beaten path Cons: * Bats were getting in from somewhere, and there was dark streaks down the wall behind some tanks in the laundry room that looked like it had attempted to be boarded previously. * "Netflix streaming" requires your own login. * In general the feel of the place was "if you mess up at all you'll pay a fine" rather than welcoming, but I'm sure there's some history there I'm not aware of.

Location is great
Being by the river is great. The pinball machines didn’t work, which is one of the amenities that I was looking forward to. The hot tub was pretty chemically harsh. I didn’t appreciate having to strip beds, start the dishwasher and take the dumpsters to the curb.

Nice getaway under an hour from PDX
Beware that it does sleep 6 but there are only 3 beds. The outdoor area is fantastic but they do not replace the water in the hot tub for new guests. In fact, they impose a stiff penalty if they do have to replace the water. I get it but it's still gross. The pinball machines were our number one reason for picking this house. They work great!

Location is great, some other things not so much.
This house has the dream set up of being off a main road, next to a river with a hot tub. But it smells terribly of cat pee, so pungent you have to open all the windows immediately after arriving. And the hot tub, it's nice until it trips the breaker every 30 mins. not maintaining a hot temp on the tub. It needs constant attention if you want to use it. Love the river access, and the layout of the house and property. It just needs a little love and could be a real gem.

Almost great
Our stay would have been wonderful, but the property was infested with flies. We hung fly strips, some provided by the service, that attracted dozens. We kill dozens more with a fly swatter, and there were still flies, lighting on our bodies and food through the entire stay. This was simply not acceptable and caused us to stay out of the premises more than we would have. We hope that you will get in touch with us and that something can be done about this unfortunate situation. Thank you.

Needs cleaning
The hot tub filters need cleaning, outdoor area needs cleaning just a simple sweeping prior to our check -in would have been good. Spiderwebs everywhere inside, the first day I wore white socks inside and the kitchen floors weren't clean as the socks were extremely dirty. The yoga mat was covered and sealed closed with mold. The blinds were covered in dust.

House was nice.
The house was nice and had a lot of nice things about it. It's a place to go to get away from the city. It's basically a cabin with internet and cable. Like they say cell service Is hit and miss, which for me I could care less. The Property is in a great spot. Got to talk to the Neighbors and learned a lot about the area and they were really nice. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because on the last day there was a hornet's nest above the driveway door, and I got stung in the neck. I Called Vacasa's number and told them about the Hornet's nest in the overhang above the door at the driveway door. And all they said is that they will make a note to the next occupants that are staying. To me that's a no, you need to go and get rid of it because someone can have an issue from being stung.

Property management was lacking in communication and will not return phone calls
We enjoyed the property and we enjoyed the house what we did not enjoy, was having people come and inspect it during our stay with unmarked vehicles, and saying that they were supposed to work on the property, especially the location of the property being in the woods and having children, we should've been told by the property management the property management service they would call us back today. They still have not

Great setting and comfortable home
Loved the setting overlooking the river on a large lot, with great hot tub view. On a quiet dead end street that felt pretty private, and the dogs loved romping in the yard. The great room was comfortable and we enjoyed lounging in front of the huge fireplace. If you are looking for fancy, this isn’t your place. But if you are looking for clean and cozy in a beautiful setting, I recommend this house!

Picked this location to be close to a wedding at Camp Colton. Needed o house three adult couples. A bit remote from stores and restaurants (at least 17 minute drive to anything), but it’s just what we needed and worth the drive. You can’t beat the constant sound of the river

Relaxing stay with my family
My family of 5 (2 adults,16,14,and 11) had a lovely 4 days at the river. The pinball machines were a blast. It was very comfortable and cozy living space. We loved how open the living space was and enjoyed our time on the outdoor patio/deck. Great swimming hole in the river however not so great fishing luck. We also had an amazing hike at Silver Falls which is just 45 minutes from the home.

The outdoor area looks neat, outdoor kitchen and hot tub. But we are there in December. And the interiors of this home are not so great. I was clean but dumpy.
