The perfect location for a weekend in govvy. Cozy place with exactly what you need.

This space was perfectly fine for a family or small group but not for a party of 12. The listing states there are 4 bedrooms when there are 3. The fourth bedroom is just a bed in the “loft” of the third bedroom. I truly don’t understand the reviews which describe this place as roomy for a large group. We had 7 people and felt very cramped, especially in the living room and kitchen areas. We tried to give this feedback to Vacasa but it was not received. If you are just going to sleep in this space, it’s adequate. If you want to hang out at the house or be outside and you have more than 6 people, I would look elsewhere.

It was very roomy and had everything we needed. It would have been awesome for large groups (multiple bedrooms on multiple floors and who doesn’t love lofts?) but also great for any family. Cute decor and very close to mountain and town. Definitely worth it to have a great time.

Nice furnishings and well appointed. Comfortable beds and great location right in Government Camp. Nicely updated.

In general a good house, just a few problems with a shower and the internet.

Our stay started with the key code not working. After making multiple attempts we realized that the home was unlocked. We never got a key. The instructions on the fridge said we needed parking passes to park in the lot. There were none. Fortunately we did not get ticketed or towed. We had a party of 8 for three days but were left with 4 rolls of toilet paper, 1 roll of paper towels, enough dishwasher soap for two loads, and no laundry detergent to wash towels. There were NO pot holders in the kitchen so we had to use bath towels to take things out of the oven and place on the table. We have a large family and often rent homes for vacation but We will not be staying there again.

Unfortunately this condo was quite dirty and outdated. Needs improvements to the dryer vent, old furniture and carpet, small kitchen with random and disorganized items, garbage can broken, just to name a few. Feels like your in a cave, which on the plus side was helpful during the hot summer.

If you are looking for comfortable beds, this is the place to stay. However, I did not enjoy my stay at Edelweiss Retreat. This rental has so many things that need to be fix. Most of the bedrooms' doors are detached from their frames, the furniture is very old, the carpet is full of stains, it is absolutely disgusting. The bathrooms are not very clean either, I had to called Vacasa to have the bathrooms cleaned. One of the bathroom curtain was so smelly and full of pee that I asked them to change it. We would never stay at this place again.

Esta casa necesita muchas reparaciones. Las puertas de las recámaras no cierran y están completamente despegadas de los marcos, la alfombra está llena de manchas y huele horrible. Los muebles están viejos y huelen mal también. Los baños no están limpios y tienen un olor fuerte a orines. Jamás rentaría este lugar otra vez, ni tampoco lo recomiendo.

If you just want a place for a lot of people to sleep and you do not care that it smells like urine, the doors are literally falling off at the hinges, the carpet is stained and coming apart, the towels are stained, the wallpaper is peeling and there is no electricity in the upstairs bathroom, this is the place for you!! The pictures do not show the true state of this rental. It is by far the worst place we have stayed in and we've stayed in quite a few over the years. It was bad enough that our group only stayed one night (simply because it was midnight when we arrived and could not find a new place) but we left the next day rather than staying the next two days like we intended. It's probably the perfect place for a bunch of college kids who just want to party but for anyone else, I highly recommend you skip this place.

The number of beds was awesome for a large group. Free parking was a plus. It's an older unit and shows a bit of wear and tear. You hear constant road noise through the windows, as they are also older. Overall, decent value.

There are plenty of beds for a large party. The free parking was great. Only two bathrooms for a large party wasn't optimal, but we made it work. The place is older showing some wear and tear, but liveable. The road noise is heard all night long through the older windows. Grocery store, bars and restaurants are all walkable. It was a good value and suited our purpose.

Easy to rent and was very clean. Me and my coworkers enjoyed the stay

This property is in need of some updates but we still found it cozy and adequate. The location is great-right at the east end of town. It’s unfortunate that there are so many additional “fees” tacked on that the price advertised on VRBO is about half of what we ended up paying.

There is a ton of room in this amazing cozy apartment. Its nice and warm, and everything functions great. The carpet is a little run down, but that is because of the pet policy and our friend's dog didn't seem to mind. It would be great if the kitchen area has a light over the stove cos it was dark in that area. Overall, a good stay. Thank you for hosting us!

Tons of beds! Lots of room. Loved it. The one thing that would be nice is an outdoor green space for yard games and grilling.

We were a group of 9.
The Edelweiss Retreat Center was good for us.
In the night time and early morning the H-26 was a bit noisy
but other services compensated well.

If you wanna visit Mt. Hood,
you wanna stay at the Government Camp.
You got to drive around and see many lakes and places.

If you are a large group like 8 to 10,
This place is good choice for you.

This unit is fine for a big group that wants to ski all day and needs a bunch of places to sleep. More beds than comfortable places to sit or eat at (Ie beds for 10-12, but table accommodates 4, and the LR has seating for 5-6 - not well laid out). Everything inside was 'ok' - not real nice, not real new, but not real awful either. Kids liked the bunk room, and adjoined loft bed. Adults were happy the kids were happy, but this place looks as if it has not had money spent on the interior in a long, long time. Road noise from hwy 26 was constant if bedroom window was open, not a bit deal but this does back up to 26. Bit of a hassle finding the unit (more our problem than Vacasa's). Parking lot well maintained/plowed - made it easy to get in/out. Dog friendly. all in all an OK place, but not great.

Not worth the money

Stayed with my son and his friends from college - 9 people total. Good overall value go sleeping arrangements. Kitchen is poorly equipped for large crowd cooking (bring own cookware) and table seating for eating is limited to 4. Location is convenient to Gov't camp restaurants and to ski resorts.

Mt Hood brewery, Hood Meadows

Get a room closed off to the rest of the house if you have anybody listening to music downstairs the noise treavels very far.

This is a perfect spot for a ski weekend for a family or two. Everything you need for an enjoyable trip. Not fancy, totally utilitarian, which is perfect for skiing.

Edelweiss Pros Inexpensive In town- walk to restaurants & more Convenient location Ample parking Lots of beds Well stocked with almost all you could need Pet friendly Clean enough I suppose Cons Needs some remodeling Sink in downstairs bedroom looks like it was around for the panhandling era & Closet door broken Tiles in kitchen disgustingly dirty, Place desperately needs a deep cleaning Keys took 30 minutes to figure out (good luck-way ghetto) Only roku (Netflix) works on tv - no instructions Main living area is very small Dining area seats only 4 Outside space is non-existent/unusable Butts up against main highway (may not bother some people) No barbecue area could be found Summary This is an ideal place for a budget conscious; family with lots of kids in tow, 2 small families, extended families or a big group of 20 somethings as long as your expectations aren't super high.

Mediocre for Price

I like Edelweiss property and location, however what I didn't know is that the condos are different from each other. We stayed in condo #2 and were very disappointed. The place sleeps 12 but is so small that it would be difficult to share with 12 people. The master bedroom is attached to the kitchen and living room and you step into this room from the front door (they actually changed the front entrance to side entrance). The layout of the place is just odd in comparison with #5 we rented a couple of years ago which is also for 12 people but much more spacey and much more attractive. Also going from parking lot to the apartment was icey but management didn't think about doing anything about it. Two women in my group fell and one hit her head pretty badly. I would rent at Edelweiss again as I like the location but I will pay more attention to which condo I will rent.

This unit may sleep a lot of people, however the quarters are tight. The large room upstairs was a great hangout place for the teenagers--the kids loved the lofts... :)
