It was awesome

Unfortunately there was a family of mice living, literally under the stairs. The dishes were dirty so we had to wash them before we could use them. The cupboard door in the upstairs bathroom was broke. We tried to fix it but it kept falling and hit me in the shoulder several times. A few other things. It was a great location though and the hot tub was nice.

The property location was beautiful, peaceful, and quiet. Pristine forests, and a gorgeous river. Our elderly grandma was visiting, so having a the room on the first floor was perfect. The house was well maintained, with recent updates. Clean beds, showers, plenty of towels, clean hot tub, Etc. The only dirty part was the carpets in the den need a good cleaning. The loft room with the two twin beds is very exposed, sitting right at the living room area and leads to the hallway with the other rooms. Maybe suitable for a children and heavy sleepers, but otherwise not an ideal place for sleeping. The double Queen room is surprisingly large and comfy for four grown adults. The king master suite is incredibly gorgeous and luxurious with doors leading to a porch area. Kitchen is well stocked and large enough for a big family. Very enjoyable experience.

I liked the fireplace and how much room there was. The beds were super comfortable. What I didn't like was the fact it took 2.5 hours to get into the cabin, not many curtains on windows for privacy, also the Hot tub was really dirty. Even after adding the cleaner to it. :( It was murky, with stuff floating around and gritty stuff on the bottom of the hot tub.

This place was great! Had everything we needed and the rental company was very responsive. The river is very fast in front of the house, but you can walk a short ways down the path to find a large rocky beach and less rapid water for kids to play in.

This rental is located in a beautiful forest setting with outside seating and dining area by a river! I would like to return to enjoy this site in the warmer spring, summer or fall. The house was very clean and the beds quite comfortable. Lots of space for a group of 7 to stay. You could easily sleep several more children in the house.

Our weekend in Riverdance was incredible! The cabin is very accomodating, marvelously located right on the Sandy River and about 30 minutes from Mt Hood Meadows for wonderful snowboarding. We have 9 in our party and meals in the roomy kitchen were the highlight of the weekend. The cabin pales in comparison to the service from Caley and her crew. Just incredibly wonderful service. Stay here, you will not be disappointed.

We had a fabulous stay at the Riverdance Retreat! The space was comfortable for 6 adults, 3 kids, and a dog. The hot tub is perfect and the river view is unbeatable. The beds were also very comfortable. We were very pleased! We felt that additional attention to household supplies would have improved our experience. Specifically, the home came with only one kitchen sponge for cleaning dishes and the counters (over Thanksgiving weekend). A couple more would have been useful. A supply of counter and bathroom cleaners (even disinfecting wipes) would have been helpful in keeping those areas clean. We had to run out for laundry detergent because none had been supplied (though the house book says that there is some included). There were only 6 matches in the match box. Overall, it seemed that perhaps the household supplies just hadn't been properly replenished. That being said, the staff responded quickly when we asked them to bring more toilet paper and dishwasher soap. We also found that the kitchen had had some unwelcome visitors between when the house was cleaned and we arrived. While unpleasant, it is not surprising for a house in the forest. The staff responded promptly by cleaning the kitchen from top to bottom as soon as we called. Finally, guests should be alert that the oven is not very large. Our large turkey roasting pan did not fit and we had to improvise with a smaller pan. Not a big deal, but if you are cooking a meal for 10 people, you may be expecting a larger oven and should plan accordingly.

We loved River Dance Retreat. It is located close to the Salmon River and we could see the river from the kitchen window. The house was very comfortable for our annual girls getaway. The bonus was how close it is to hiking and running trails. We would definitely stay there again.

My friends & I booked the Riverdance home for a weekend getaway. I looked on other booking websites, and came across a recommendation to look at Mt. Hood Vacation Rentals; they offered competitive pricing and were hands-on, as needed. Betsy was super friendly, and asked about our groups' interests; we love cooking together, wanted to be by the river, play games, and watch football. Betsy made a great suggestion when I was looking at a different house; and said that the River Dance was the better fit. She was 100% right! The kitchen was large, and spacious, and had just about everything we could want! We had extra seating in the kitchen for everyone to participate in conversations as we did our meal preparations, and we even had a side table to set up a puzzle that we worked on all weekend! The house really had everything we could want. The added games, hot tub, extra towels, wood, dishes, glassware, soap, shampoo - gosh, they thought of everything! Even great wifi! The beds were super cozy, and plush, and even the bed linens were soft, clean, and I felt like I drifted away each night! It was awesome waking up in the middle of the woods, hearing the hum of the river. It's only a few yards or so from the house, but the seclusion, serenity, and peacefulness was unsurpassed. I really don't have a bad thing to say about our stay, the house, or Mt. Hood Vacation Rentals. They obliged when we asked for a later check-out (1 p.m.), and even checking out was super easy (as was checking in)! I highly recommend Mt. Hood Vacation Rentals, and think that this will be a house that we come back to again and again. If you have any concerns about booking - I wouldn't hesitate! Just do it! You won't be disappointed!

The Sandy River dances past this beautiful, comfortable, well-furnished home. Our family was pleasantly surprised by the lovely furnishings. This home has all the comforts of home and plenty of space for a family of 10 ... 11 if you count the dog! Conveniently located in a small community, this home is perfect for a quick get-away or an extended stay like we enjoyed. We only left tg he house to explore the surrounding woods and fill our senses with the quiet, soothing sounds of the rushing river and native birds.

Enjoyed our time at River Dance over the New Year's holiday. Wanted a place where our family of 7+Baby could all stay/sleep comfortably, and this fit our needs - 3 adult couples, 1 young child and 1 baby. Some updates to furnishings and a few repairs would make this even more desirable. Beautiful outside location near river and pathway.

River Dance Retreat is a lovely, spacious house just steps from the banks of the Sandy River. We loved the view of the river from the house and the paths along the river. We had a peaceful, restful stay. Our only complaint is the very poor wifi connection. Wifi is via a DSL line that is shared by several other homes in the area. Connection was only good very late at night and very early in the morning.
