Avis Lovely Riverfront Home, Close to Skiing, Fishing & More - Free WiFi

This was a really great place for the price. We enjoyed being so close to the water. There were really large windows and it was pretty cute overall. My complaints are the following: the host (vacasa) didn't allow us to bring our ESA animal, which is an illegal act in the state of Oregon. They also gave us 15 minute notice that our check-in was going to be delayed by 1.5 hours via a voicemail and didn't offer any discounts or a late check-out (etc). And finally, the rug upstairs (which is a pretty dark space) was pretty dirty, so it seems like the cleaning team didn't vacuum upstairs, or did a pretty poor job. Overall, I'd say this was a great property, but definitely some room for improvement on management and customer service.

We stayed here as a little get away from busy mom life. It’s the perfect cabin retreat. Everything about it is charming, eclectic, and cozy. It’s quiet and private even though we had neighbors on both sides. The river is right in the backyard. Everything was clean and in order for us. When we had questions, the management team immediately responded.

This cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The pictures showed a pretty good view of the river behind the house, but it is so overgrown you can barely see it. Even so, we enjoyed our stay here.

My wife and I had a good time hiking in several areas within a few hours drive. The house has an open concept, reminds me of what it may have been like back in the day. There is a nice hiking trail along the stream in the back yard. Me missed the house at first as we were thinking the pictures that we used as a reference were taken from the back of the house. There is a description of some a classic Crosley stove which does not exist. There are no ice trays and when I inquired I was told that it's not listed in the amenities, never thought of ice trays as an amenity. The back door latch is broken and the doors are held closed by a rock inside. It's pretty secluded so we didn't feel in danger but it should be fixed. There are 2 other properties on both sides of this house that are VRBO's but we enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our stay in this unique cabin. The location was a bit tricky to find at first (thank goodness for Google maps), but we ended up enjoying it being off the beaten path. My family and I stayed there for ski races up at Skibowl. We thought it was a very easy drive up to Skibowl, Meadows, and Timberline. The thriftway grocery store was very close and had everything we needed. We loved the open floor plan, fireplace, and the huge windows. The kitchen was spacious and the dining table and chairs were so cool! The house seemed to be clean but we were a bit overwhelmed with all the knick knacks and decorations. Overall we enjoyed our stay at this quiet, quirky cabin!

I have to start by saying this place is an amazing home. The detail to construction and furnishing of this home was clearly a labor of love by the Owners. If you want a quit place in the woods with the sound of the river in the background, then this is the place. The pictures depict this home accurately. Now to the disappointing news. And I do not ever post negative reviews, but I do here in hopes that the Owners take a close look at who they have managing their property. Quit simply, this house is being neglected. It was not clean. It is not in good repair. And any items we found were all easily fixable if the managing company is paying attention. They clearly are not. And the person who cleaned the house prior to my stay clearly does not care about the quality of their work or the homes they are charged to clean. This is a real tragedy once you see what this home has been, and could be if it were being taken care of. A quick list of issues include: A dirty kitchen counter, including used and dirty towels. A dirty fridge that needed to have food wiped out of it before use. A filthy kitchen table with food and butter all over the top and in the cracks of this gorgeous reclaimed wood table. A filthy bathroom with soap and toothpaste spots on the beautifully tiled sink, and urine spots and blood on the toilet seat. The linens and towels did not smell fresh, which seemed to make sense when you consider they tell you to strip the beds and start laundry before leaving the house, but yet they left zero laundry cleaning products. The game table in the corner of the Livingroom is an awesome place to sit and play cards or a board game, but we had to turn over the table and tighten all the legs before it could be used. And the fireplace was great to light and enjoy a warm fire, however the fireplace was not clean prior to check in, so I had to clean before use. This would be no big deal, but there was absolutely no accommodations such as an ash can to safely dispose of the ashes. One of these days someone will throw ashes somewhere they shouldn't and burn this house down. In addition, the screen on the fireplace is badly in need of replacing and makes safely shutting the fireplace doors, one of which is broken, difficult to fully close. The road leading to the house is a story all it's own. Barely wide enough to navigate in my Tahoe. Full of pot holes. And some of the homes in the area make me question the safety of the area. Hope the Owners see this.

It was easy to find, the email I received was well instructed and we easily got into the house. We made pancakes in the morning and they had all the dishware that we would possibly need. The bathroom was very clean and so were the bedrooms. All-in-all, a great place to stay and a very beautifully decorated house.

Beautiful setting and location, thank you for a nice place to stay in one of our favorite areas to recreate.

Amazing

Beautiful cabin with eclectic decor on the Sandy River. Very cozy and comfortable.
