    Lovely space for a large family gathering. Easy hike to the river. Excellent amenities in the kitchen for meal preparation. The fireplace was set up with paper, kindling, and logs, providing a cozy space during our winter stay.Our host was communicative, kind, and responsive.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home! The space and layout worked great for our family, especially with young ones. Loved having the long dining room table that fit us all. So fun using the hot tub in the evenings. The lower deck was great for games of cornhole. Cynthia was so helpful and very quick on her responses to our questions. Thank you!

    A wonderful house in a lovely setting large enough for 8 adults and 8 children. The kitchen is well stocked. The hot tub was a relaxing treat after a day of hiking and plenty of towels were available. Comfortable beds and pillows!!! We hope to be able to return to Minikahda Lodge.

    We had a lovely stay! The hot tub was relaxing, the beds slept well, the kitchen was perfect for our group gatherings. The woods were magical, and the river sounds were so nurturing. Can’t wait to return next year!

    We had a great time. The house is secluded in the woods with a spectacular view of the river which is within walking distance but the place is not too far off the main road. The Hot tub was awesome, the kitchen well stocked and there were movies to watch and a nice sitting area. We had a great time! Thanks for hosting us!Colin

    It was in a nice setting among the trees and along the creek. It was conveniently only 50 minutes from mt hood meadows. 2 of the bathrooms/showers were a bit awkward to use separately but understandable since it is obvious an add on to the property . And we made it work. The kitchen could have been a bit more supplied - maybe add aluminum foil and baggies to the drawer. There were only 2 dish towels int he kitchen and no dish rag to wipe the counters off with - only a sponge. Baking dishes and cookie sheets could be added to the kitchen supplies. We had a great time as a family . It isn't easy finding a place for 16 people to staying for 3 nights and be all together and so we sure appreciated being able to do that.The owner was very approachable and easy to work with.

    Wow, we very thrilled with this property, it had everything we were looking for in terms of privacy, charm, and being situated in a beautiful river setting. We love rustic cabins and this one was very cool. The family really enjoyed it as well and we all had ample space. Would definitely stay again!

    This cabin is perfectly located for a Mt Hood weekend. We were a short drive away from awesome hikes and from kayaking. There was plenty of space for us to sleep and relax. The only downside was there was no water pressure in the kitchen and the dishwasher would only work intermittently so it made cleaning up the cabin before we left a pain.
