Locations is centric for hikes and the river by the cabin is beautiful. Cleanliness could improve significantly. Neighbors were burning something for 2 days and it was hard to breathe.

We did enjoy our stay! It's a very cozy place. They have board games and we enjoyed sitting by the fire reading our books. They have fans for each side of the bed, which was really thoughtful. It's also in a very quiet area.There were a few things we noticed: we thought it wasn't swept well when we arrived. The door lock says to turn right, but you need to turn it left. And the coffee machine was not working during our stay. Overall, we did enjoy our time here and would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our two night stay here, so much so we know we’d like to stay here again. The intention was to have a quiet, cozy getaway in the mountains, and just be surrounded by nature. All of those boxes were checked. It actually rained a lot while there, and we loved the sound of rainfall on the metal tile roof. It lulled us to sleep…so peaceful.
Really enjoyed reading the backstory on how the cabin was built.

Unfortunately, we misread the advertisement and thought the river access was included with this cabin. Sadly, the rude neighbor came down and stood there to let us know we were trespassing and on his property. We thought we had carefully read the instructions, but sadly, we did not read them correctly. We were never able to find the public access point, although we spent a fair amount of time looking. There is no privacy, the pictures are misleading, and after the encounter, we felt uncomfortable, and the neighbor can see you from every part of the outdoor space. We decided to leave and not stay the night. The cabin is cute and was very clean.

Beautiful location with some history

The cabin is in a perfect location for exploration. As a historian I enjoy wandering around the Oregon/Barlow Trail sites. Also I enjoy taking photos so this is the perfect place. Everything in and around the cabin was perfect!

Beautiful cabin!

We loved staying here! The neighborhood was beautiful and sit nearby a flowing river that has a bench so you can sit and take in all the natural beautiful. We are tall so we did have a little trouble with how small the shower was but it should be fine for the average adult. Overall, 10/10!

Great local spot

Came in for only one night but had a great time in the area. Place is small but perfectly sized for 1 or 2 and tucked into a quiet side street off the main highway. Good local spots nearby and Mt Hood is maybe 15-20 min drive.

Cozy, well-maintained cabin in a quiet neighborhood

The home has been taken care of over the years. Kitchen was well-supplied with decent quality cookware. Whole place was spotlessly clean; no trace that anyone else had been there. We walked to the river, drank coffee on the porch, napped in the recliners and ate great home-cooked food.

Summer stay

Had a great little getaway at this cute, quiet cabin. Really enjoyed the stillness and tranquility. We are avid bird watchers, so it was great for that. We would recommend putting up some bird feeders and maybe 1 additional mirror for the inside. Other than that, everything was amazing!

Great for short stay

Had everything we needed for a weekend stay! Only drawback was lack of washer and dryer for a longer stay but the real treat was that the tap water was not only potable but great tasting and we didn't need anything bottled. Would stay again for a short trip.

Wonderful Extended Getaway

This tiny cabin was lovely. Appreciated the book describing the cabin's history. The queen (?)-sized bed, which has recently replaced the sofa bed, was very comfortable. However, it made the living room/dining nook less spacious. Walkable neighborhood. Felt safe. One neighbor was on the noisier side on Saturday night. Could hear their voices carrying into cabin. Fortunately, their guest finally left before midnight.
