High end cabin experience
I frequently do road trips across the US with my two pups, and I used to stay at roadside motels, but this time I decided to use VRBO, and I was blown away at how awesome this place was. First off, the arrival was really easy given that there is a huge driveway and an extra wide covered parking stall that could support two Ford F150s. There is a big fenced off area so i put the dogs there first. Then the entire area was well lit, which made unloading easy. The door had a digital lock amd it was easy to get in. The cabin was nice and toasty, there were plenty of plates, cups, towels, etc. There were also nice little additions like a towel to use for cleaning the dogs. The interior was perfectly renovated, and it was obvious they spent a lot of money. There were plenty of new TVs, board games, wifi... pretty much everything you could want. And finally, everything was labled so things were easy to find. Would highly reccomend for people who are fed up with going to the big cities for holidays and staying at overpriced 5 star hotels. I, myself, am from Whistler, Canada, and I much prefer authentic cabin experiences like this one.

Favorite E. Oregon Stay
Comfy, cozy, clean. Fantastic stay and the dogs loved it too. The location, the view, the home. Nothing disappoints. We hope to return and bring the grandkids, they would have a blast riding the trails.

The perfect get away!
Our family, three married couples, stayed here for the third time! We love this place. The trails are great for hiking. The woods are beautiful. It is a gorgeous little retreat. The host is the kindest person who wants to make your stay perfect. Five out of five stars is simply not enough.
