This spacious Welches vacation lodge is perfect for your next family getaway to wild and wonderful Mt. Hood! Welcoming up to 12 guests, its amenities include an outdoor hot tub, a great game room, and access to skiing, hiking, fishing, and general communing in the great outdoors!

Located in a peaceful wooded neighborhood far from city noise, this home is the perfect place to unwind and unplug, whether it's for the weekend or an entire week. But, if you'd like to be active, bring your golf clubs for 18 holes at Three Nines Golf Course just up the road, or bring your ski gear for fun runs and challenging terrain at any of Mt. Hood's three ski resorts (Skibowl, 13 miles west; Timberline, 20 miles west; or Mt. Hood Meadows, 25 miles west).

This home features large rooms filled with leather and wood furnishings, as well as modern conveniences, including updated appliances, a gas fireplace, WiFi throughout, and cable and DVD-equipped television.

Head outside to find an expansive backyard deck with seating for al fresco dining and a nearby covered outdoor hot tub. Just beyond the property lies the picturesque Salmon River, and it's just a short walk along a nature path to arrive at its rocky banks.

You'll have everything needed to whip up homemade meals, along with indoor seating at a six-seat dining table. There's even a gas grill for summertime barbecues.

When you're not off exploring the wilderness surrounding this home, a game room provides plenty of indoor entertainment with a card table, a bar area, a foosball table, and a TV.

Up to 12 guests are accommodated in five bedrooms. Four have king-size beds and the fifth bedroom has a queen-size and two twin-size beds.

Other amenities include a private washer/dryer and a wrought-iron bench overlooking the river on the backyard nature path.

Local attractions include Government Camp's village, which has quaint shops and country stores, hikes in the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness (a main trailhead is just down the street), and spa/wellness services at the Spa at Mt. Hood.

A quintessential mountain home with plenty of creature comforts, book this Mt. Hood vacation rental for an unforgettable stay in Welches!

Gorgeous property and the best beds after a big day of skiing!
We had seven people in total - two kids, and five adults. There was plenty of room for everyone - a great big dining table for everyone to fit around, lots of comfy seating, and the softest beds I've ever slept in. The view to the river is picture perfect, and sitting in the hot tub while it snowed was just what we needed after long days up the mountain. The place was very clean and had pretty much everything you need - lots of toilet paper and toiletries were provided, there were towels for the bathrooms and the hot tub, and the kitchen was stocked with the basics too. We also noticed that the pans seemed pretty new, and the only head scratcher was the drawer full of whisks? (My niece counted at least nine!) The only thing to note is that the road to the house can be a bit tricky with the wrong kind of tires. My sister's rental car had some trouble getting out, but that's on us and not the house! Loved this place and would definitely stay again.

Fabulous property!
We loved everything about this property: the access to the river, the detached game room, the hot tub, high vaulted ceilings with views of the towering fir trees, proximity to great hikes, and spacious interior (slept 12 comfortably). Wish our stay could have been longer.

Our 2nd stay
This is our second year in a row coming to this vacation property! Overall the home and property are amazing. There is plenty of room within the house to spread out and the kitchen is fully stocked for any meal you’d wish to prepare! Unfortunately we were disappointed by a couple things this year. One, there was a large wasp/bee nest on a tree that blocked our river access. The kids were unable to safely get down to the water without risk of being stung. This was quite the bummer seeing as how we pay a lot of money for the river “access”. This is something that should be promptly taken care of so it does not become a liability issue. We also noticed that the upstairs shower did not drain well. This meant we were standing in several inches of water every time we showered, and the water would take several hours to drain from the tub after use. Again, neither of these are “end of the world” problems. But, when you pay so much to rent a property these are not things guests should be dealing with.

Great location
This house was very comfortable for our group of six adults and one infant. The location on the river is really nice and there are great hiking trails right up the road. Very close to Mt. Hood and there is a grocery store and restaurants close by. The property managers were very responsive to anything we needed. I would stay here again.

Poor communication
The house was lovely, especially the river just out the back door. We had a lot of fun with the basketball game in the garage, the beds were comfortable, and we had plenty of room to spread out. However—and it's a big however—the dishwasher was broken, and with six adults, three kids, and an infant, it was a lot to hand-wash the dishes three times a day. Additionally, the power went out on our second night there—and then the water went off, because (presumably) an electric pump pumps the water in from a well. Without drinking water or toilet water or heat or lights, we had to leave the next morning. That was four days ago, and we've yet to hear anything from Vacasa beyond a "thank you for reaching out, we'll do our best to assist you."

The house and setting was beautiful. Everything you needed was available. We had a Wonderful time
We had a couple issues. The lock box codes did not work for us . Thank goodness the cleaning staff was there or we would not of gotten in. Also I think there should be some kind of instructions booklet for the electronic devices in the house . Never could get the ceiling fan in living room to work . But when I called they sent someone out to address our problems and he was very nice & helpful . All in all it was a lovely home and we enjoyed ourselves very much. We would definitely rent this house again . Thank you .

Good family gathering home
The house had everything we needed for our stay, and the king beds and TVs in each room made it better. River was a great playground for our kiddos. However, the house was not clean on arrival. The master toilet was dirty (splatter on bowl and seat), there was coffee grounds in coffee maker, dead flies and bugs In spider webs in corners of living room carpet, glasses were dirty, and dirty towels in washing machine. I tried to contact the management upon arrival with no response from them. It definitely didn’t get a “deep COVID clean” we were told it would. Bummer.
