Great for our large family. The town folk were so friendly. Plenty to do.Well stocked and close enough to activities. Games for all ages. 74 year old grandma even floated the river. Wish we had planned a longer trip.

Beautiful home with lots of room. We loved the river being in the backyard and hope to stay again soon. Thank you for sharing your home!

It was amazing vacation at this property

My family of 5 needed to make a last minute trip to Mill City, the property owner was very responsive and able to accommodate our needs. The property itself is on a quite, private street, right on the beautiful river. The pictures do not do the property justice as it was much, much nicer in person. It is also very well stocked with cooking items and spices, which I always really appreciate. It is located right down town, walking distance to restaurants and grocery stores. We enjoyed our stay so much that we are planning our large family trip at this property next year. I would highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay! I wasn't expecting this home to be as well stocked as it was even after seeing reviews that mentioned it. It was great having so many things to choose from in the kitchen to cook with. It was funny when we did dishes & realized we had used 5 cookie sheets but there were still more in the cupboard. We loved the amount of blankets that were in so many different spots so that there were plenty to choose from. This is truly a fully stocked home. The variety of games was overwhelming! We could have spent the entire time playing them but wouldn't have gotten through all of them. This was our first time doing something other than a hotel & we loved that the feeling wasn't sterile, it felt "lived in" & loved. Thank you so much for sharing your home & allowing us to make some amazing memories there!

From the moment we arrived we loved this house. It was roomy, comfortable and well maintained. But our favorite; for everyone of us! was the Santiam River. Peaceful, close to nature and lots of things to do. Most special were the "winks and babble" from the River. Thank you.

Perfect for our annual family get together. Hope to be back!

So much space for everyone! Comfortable beds, plenty of linens, and soooo many Water Toys!!! The Kitchen was well stocked, and we even caught fish right in the back yard river access! Fantastic escape!

We had a great stay and the property by the lake was beautiful. We hope to come back and stay again. It had many great amenities and we enjoyed our time.

We enjoyed every moment of our stay... beautiful, peaceful setting... a truly fully stocked kitchen... wide variety of games, puzzles, activities available. Thank you!

We had a 3 generation family get together ( 12 people ranging in age from 1 to 74) and all had an enjoyable time. There was a good variety of games, books, and movies for different tastes and ages. It was somewhat cool and rainy while we were there so we weren't able to enjoy playing in the river, but we certainly enjoyed the view from the many windows. The house was spacious and comfortable.

Very comfortable, well stocked house with wonderful indoor and outdoor places to relax. The kids loved the hobbit door. The river was beautiful! The kitchen was fabulous had everything you might need!

This rental was an all around good find. Well stocked. Right on the river. Quiet neighborhood. We loved it.

We looked for a place with 5 bedrooms and 3-4 bathrooms and by a river. This place was perfect! It was so relaxing to listen to the river rush by. And even though it was early March and pretty cold, we had a great bonfire. The cupboards were well equipped with almost everything we needed to cook our family dinners. The only problems that we had were no propane for the BBQ and the bike pump didn't work. We could have brought them if we had known. But all in all, we loved the place and didn't want to leave.

Very nice property for family gatherings.

Best weekend ever.. the house was big enough for our whole group and was stocked with everything we might possibly need.

Springshire is awesome! The pictures do not do it justice. The space on the main level was open and airy with a wall of windows that drew you in to views of the beautiful Santiam River. Such a serene spot on a dead end road. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all very high-end down to the sheets and lovely decor. There were even towel sculptures in a couple of the bathrooms! My siblings and I absolutely loved the spot - brother Denny found a good fishing spot and actually caught a nice sized trout! Sister Nancy and her son Dave took one of the many floaties available for a short but awesome river run. We definitely will go back! Thank you Chris!

This was a beautiful property and had access to the river. You could tie yourself up and float or you can raft down the river which my kids did and it was fantastic. Was such a wonderful trip there wish we could have stayed longer.

A nice place to stay on the Santiam River. Granddaughter loved the room with the hobbit door.

House was clean, and large for a family of 7 kids and 5 adults .. Inflatable rafting devices worked well and it was A GREAT FUN on the river. Lot of air leaking rafts, but you can find some that are ok, if you look for it .. WIFi was ok.

we celebrate four birthdays in July with ages ranging from 2 to 37. So this trip was a great family adventure with the fun outdoor activities for all ages. The house was well stocked and clean and easily accommodated our group there were a ton of rafts, lifevests and other equipment to play on the river. The outdoor fire pit was really nice to sit around and roast marshmallows at night . One caution I would put in the book for visitors is not to raft anywhere but down stream from the house. We went upstream and five of us went over a 3 foot waterfall, it was quite traumatic but we all made it out The back porch needs railings because the porch is only the width of the door so it’s difficult to open the door and get out of the way, we had a five-year-old fall and scratched her ankle pretty good. otherwise we had a great time and would recommend this house to others.

Got together with family to bake cookies.

This spacious, comfortable, beautiful home was just right for our women's group weekend getaway. Beautiful setting.

We rented the Shire House in Mill City for a birthday/get away for my niece's 60th birthday and had an absolute fabulous time! The home is huge with everything anyone would need for a get away! It is right on the banks of the Santiam River and has a huge fire pit outside...such a fun place! LOTS of games! This is our second time renting this property and will do so again in the future! Great gathering place. We give this place 5 STARS!

This house was fantastic for our group. We held our Croptoberfest Retreat here and it was a perfect layout. The kitchen is very well stocked anything you could need is here. It was nice to have the extra bathrooms this trip. We even had a massage therapist with us and the hobbit room was perfect for that. We will definitely be back

We love the location on the river, the well-stocked kitchen and lots of space. We use it for a church retreat.

Very poor communicationwith vrbo

Very clean, lots of space to relax, and a well stocked kitchen. Kids absolutely loved the Hobit Door! nice spot on the Santiam to cool off your feet with plenty of shade. Will plan on coming back again for sure!

A jewel discovered....modern, spacious, comfortable riverside home with all the amenities you’d wish for.... we had 6 adults & 3 children (ages 11, 7, & 16 months) and all loved their stay! The large 4-bunk room upstairs for the boys with the Hobbit door was so fun. We gave the downstairs bedroom w/en-suite to daughter with the baby and no one upstairs heard any nighttime crying. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking & baking. Plenty of outdoor seating & one evening we had 24 around the campfire with memorable sing-a-alongs and s’mores! With 5 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 baths the house can easily accommodate more people....lots of fun toys, books, movies, & games for all ages. The owner was great with all communications! You can’t go wrong...it’s just a short walk to downtown Mill City, the old bridge & delicious Giovanni’s pizza. We hiked up to Pamelia Lake, spent a day boating at Detroit Lake, rafted and fished on the Santiam River.....we will return! Thank you!

This was our second July staying at the Spring Shire house. Our three generations filled every bed in the house and yet no one ever felt crowded. We love this home and would stay here every summer if we could. I cannot say enough great things about this home and it's owner. After our first stay I left a more detailed review of the home and it's attributes. I simply want to say the home was every bit as great for our second stay. We love this place!

Our family of 4 generations all together for first time. Everyone kept saying how perfect this house worked for us. Very clean, well stocked with plenty of everything. Only thing lacking was no crib or pack n play. Tons of space, beautiful scenery, tons of games, movies, books, yard games, rafts, life jackets, etc... watch out! Rocks are very slippery at river even with water shoes. Caught fish, rafted river, s’mores at fire pit, hiking near by,, table large enough for all of us. Perfect!

House comfortably accommodated our family reunion of 14, including kids and grandparents. Gorgeous location, quiet dead-end street, let the river soothe your soul. We rafted, hiked, played lawn and board games, rode bikes, walked around town, enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen, spacious living area, and beds for everyone. Everything was great!
