Spacious, comfy cabin down by the river.

I love the location and size of the house. Being able to take a short walk outside to the river was really nice. In the photos there was a game space, the foos ball table is broken and the room smelt of musk badly. Luckily I read the reviews before leaving to my trip and brought some candles, but due to the smell we did not use the basement at all for our fellowship. In the kitchen is a small trash can for food/waste and it will filled up quickly, when trying to look for extra trash bags I was searching high and low and could not find anything. When looking under the sink the cabinets door almost feel off when I opened it. Everyone besides myself are 6 feel tall and had a hard time being comfortable in the shower. Me being 5’5 had no problem beside the fact the shower head has zero pressure and the tub didn’t look like something I would want to take a hot bath in. The BBQ was extremely hard to light and was not working properly, we were able to get it going with a long lighter, it was just a little scary to do seeing as the BBQ was supposed to be self lighting. There was no check out instructions to be found, so I strip the beds and did a load of towels along with washed and put away my dishes best I could. When we first got there were walking the house there was a candy wrapper on one of the stair cases, what looked like used tissue paper between the upstairs chair and ottoman, and we found 2 bottle caps on the floor between the kitchen and dining room table. Be careful of the balcony railing, is is very wobbly! Seems intact, but I wouldn’t put a lot of pressure or weight on it. Again, very cute house. Perfect size for what we were doing. They had a lot of Toiletries for us to use if anything was forgotten, and lots of room for a big gathering. The WIFI was great which was nice for our live steaming. Just small adjustments could make this house top notch.

We were pleasantly surprised that our large group all had showers and had hot water most of the time. There was cleaning supplies and soaps for us to use. Plenty of towels as well. It was very comfortable for our large group. We would definitely stay again.

Down stairs smells wet snd damp. One shower for lots of beds. Check is between house not ideal

This is our second time at this property and everything was just how we remembered. My boys loved the ping pong table and hockey set. The power went out sometime during our last night, so we didn’t get to enjoy our last morning as much. Not the owners fault, there were high winds that day.

Fun time with space for kids and adults.

We enjoyed celebrating the new year with family and friends in this well equipped home.

This is our families second year staying in the Mt. Hood area. We love VACASA and their staff. Our stay at Big Bear River Retreat was perfect. The house is in the perfect location to snow activities, it is cozy warm and inviting. The open floor plan made cooking and planning games a whole family affair. Plenty of beds and area for kids to play and sleep. Looking forward to returning again soon.

Good weather

This Cabin needs maintenance. There are a few good things about it but the bad is outweighing the good. The Bad: 1.The fridge was not working. When maintenance man came out it was 55 degrees inside. That is way too warm. They brought us 2 ice chest and 2 bags of ice to last 4 days. 2.The microwave overheats if you try to cook 3 bags of popcorn, and not all of the buttons work. 3.The light above the door inside as you come in doesn't work. 4.The rec room smells like dog pee, the odor starts to hit you as you are walking down the stairs. The odor is so bad we could not stand to be in this room. 5. The rec room also has exposed wires, beware if you have kids, not that you want them on that carpet that smells like pee. 6. The bunk bed room has a closet that has chemicals like paint, hammers, and other tools, there is no knob on the door and it is not locked. It is dangerous for young kids. 7. The door to the bathroom down stairs doesn't lock. 8. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms, they do not have blinds or curtains on the windows. One of the windows you can clearly see the road. When changing clothes privacy is nice. 9. In one of the closets the owner has her clothes, old shoes, and slippers. 10. The hand rail fell off while we were there as well. 11. Clutter; There is clutter every where and some is hazardous. By the bunk bed there is a sled leaning against the wall. Climbing down my daughter hit it with her foot, a board fell off and landed with rusty nails sticking up which she then stepped on. There is clutter just about everywhere you look; In the kitchen mops, brooms and buckets in one corner and a Vacuum and folding chairs in the other corner. There are Christmas trees in the corners in the rec room. Outside there is stuff laying all over the ground including garbage in the foliage. The bottom line is that if you are on vacation to relax and enjoy the mountain area, it is really hard to do with all of these issues. I would never rent this house again. The good: 1.The location is great. There is a trail leading to a sandy bank that is a great spot to build a sand castle and play in the river. 2. You can see the river from the deck. 3. The house is well stocked with towels, sheets, pillowcases, and pots and pans. 4. It is a good size.

Very dark in the living room also. Rooms didn't have blinds though they are facing the street. Kitchen looked cluttered and we left in a better state than what we got it . Kitchen lamp was flickering and turned off completely. So we opened it to check and the bulb came crashing down and broke to pieces. The house was well stocked with sheets and towels. Not very great experience, have stayed in better ones.

We had a fantastic time! Very cozy home and a short walk to the river. Only drawbacks- moldy smell in the basement, bathroom door in basement doesn't close and it would be nice to have blinds or curtains on bedroom windows to block out morning sun (esp in the summer when the sun is up by 5am). But we had a great time and enjoyed our stay!

Everything was super easy and no problems at all. We got all the information we needed, the house was cozy and clean- the kitchen had enough equipment and we had a great time! Skibowl was super close and the nature around was nice to take a walk along the little river. We were hiking to the trillium lake and took beautiful pictures and just enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere there. Highly recommended for a stay! Thank you so much!

This cozy, unassuming Oregon cabin was perfect for our three families. Felt like going back to a simpler time in our home state. Lots of space for the kids to run around and games for them to play with. The fireplace offered warmth in more ways than one. We didn't realize there was only one shower in a cabin meant for 10 people. Not a problem for us, but could be for some others who didn't pay attention to the details. But all-in-all, a great experience. Thank you.

I rented this cabin for my twins 6th birthday and I must say it by far exceeded what I thought it was going to be. The house was very big and the surrounding areas were beautiful. There was plenty of space of all of us. They had a great time. I would definitely come back.

Great layout; the cabin was bigger than we expected. Overall the cabin was very cozy, and just what we were hoping for!

This is the second year that we have enjoyed celebrating New Years in this large home. We like that its on a quiet culdesac allowing us to sled and build snow people. We also like walking on the trails and viewing the river.

Our family of 6 stayed for two nights so we could play in the snow on Mt. Hood. The cabin was clean, comfortable and well stocked. We all had a great time!
