Great house, wonderful area.
We all liked the house. It's very cozy and has everything you might need to cook big family dinners, board games, and movies to watch. The surrounding area is excellent, with many hikes and lakes. We highly recommend this house.

Broken stuff
We stayed here before a year before. The couch was broken then (springs) making it uncomfortable with limited seating because of it. The next year it was in the same condition. I seriously thought it would be replaced. There is no way they aren’t aware of the condition of the couch. For the price the couch should be better that what they have. Also this year the hot tub didn’t work. They refunded me $106 for it. We were disappointed and will not be back.

Great
The property is big and very comfortable for large family or a group of friends. The listing and pictures are accurate. It is located in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. I really enjoy the pool at the end of the day after long hiking trips.

Everything was clean and neat, the space was perfect for our family. We loved the hot tub, the community access to the pool and tennis just 2 min walk away, friendly neighborhood. It was the perfect weekend getaway.

Family ski trip
My family had a wonderful time in this cabin/house. It looks like a house on the outside but like a cabin on the inside. The hot tub was great and much needed at the end of all day skiing. The stairs can be dangerous for hitting your head on so be careful of that. 3 adults hit their head on it. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we needed. We will definitely rent this again.

Beautiful home
Enjoyed the stay and so much space. Not lacking is peace and quiet. The neighborhood was pleasant with no through traffic. The kitchen was larger than expected as well as the division of rooms being a nice distance is wanting privacy. One tiny note no more coffee filters were available but we went to the store a few minutes away in Welches.

Celebrating Christmas in January
We loved being nestled in the trees right off 26.
The neighbors were great.!! We enjoyed the openness of the home and how well it stayed warm. It has such a warm welcoming feeling as soon as you walk in. The Hot Tub was clean. I did bring my own test strip’s and was pleasantly impressed to see chemicals were up to sanitary conditions. We’re looking forward to spending time there again this Summer.

Every thing was great. House was beautiful and set up perfectly.
We loved the house, neighborhood, and location on the mountain. One problem was that the first night the lower bunk bed broke while our 14 year old was sleeping. He had to sleep on the couch for the rest of the stay. The lower rail broke and the slats fell off the rail. It happened while he was sleeping!
Very quiet and relaxing home, love to bring my family and have a time together to talk and spend time together. Nice place to stay a few days. Close to awesome places for hikes.

A nice quiet getaway
It was my boyfriend's 30th birthday and since you can't really do much these days with COVID, we decided to escape to a "cabin" in the woods. I think it's important to share that this really isn't a cabin, rather it is a house in a quiet, family-friendly community. If you are looking for seclusion or true privacy, I'd tell you to keep looking. Overall we had a good time, but there were a few things we expected a lot more from considering the price we paid for two nights was $715. 60% of that was VRBO service fees
Pro's: House was cleaned well upon arrival and fully stocked with towels, blankets, toiletries. Hot tub was great, and the patio seating outside was nice .The backyard is heavily wooded so it was a nice and cool refuge in the 90 degree heat of July. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed as far as cookware/dishes/etc, and then some. It also isn't shown in the photos, but the front deck is updated to have seating. Plenty of places to sleep.
Cons: First and foremost - and we knew when we booked it - is the house is super close to the other neighbors, but didn't realize how close until we got there. The cabin rules tell you over and over that you will possibly have the cops called on you for noise complaints because it's a residential neighborhood. It was to the point that it felt like we couldn't even sit on the patio and talk because the neighbors were literally RIGHT next door, steps away, and we weren't even loud. The neighbors were outside on their patio constantly looking over into the patio area. There wasn't any privacy from the view of the neighbors.
- We weren't told until after we booked the cabin (it wasn't in the ad) that there are only two cars allowed. We had to coordinate carpooling and fitting 6 people into two cars, only to find out when we got there, there was more than enough room for an additional car. Rules are fine, but I wish they were disclosed beforehand. I asked Vacasa and VRBO 2x about this and nobody ever responded to me.
- The pipe from the upstairs bathroom was leaking on us from the ceiling whenever somebody showered (over the stove)
- While the Apple TV is nice, it's super old, and the surround sound system is difficult to navigate...even for people who know tech pretty well.
- No real privacy for any bedroom except one (expected with the loft) but the back bedroom doesn't have a door
I do think this is a nice place, but for all the fees you're charged I expected a lot more.

Great little get-a-way
A group of 5 mountain bikers showed up to shred some trails and enjoy the stay in Rhododendron and we were not disappointing. The trails in this area are top notch and a $2 shuttle up to Timberline lodge was amazing. I recommend this place to anyone. Not to mention after a good day of shredding the trails the older feeling rental made us all feel right at home and very relaxed to rejuvenate for the next day. This would be a great little place to visit if you are a snow sport enthusiast or just want to hang out in a nice quite spot for a few days.

Practically Perfect
We loved our weekend stay and just wish it could have been longer! The video games were a big hit with our teenager, and both kids loved the bunk beds. The house is beautiful, the dining table is PLENTY big enough for marathon board gaming, the backyard is peaceful, the hot tub is great, and everything was scrupulously clean. We made a short snowshoeing jaunt up to Timberline, it was an easy drive from the house.

Great property
Was a nice place the only issues I had was that I was under the impression that the pool was closer to the house like a shared backyard area and that the cable would not work, had to use Netflix the entire time but would have been nice to watch a game instead.

Fantastic Property-Will Definitely Be Back!
Such a great property!
We were up skiing/snowboarding at Timberline and this was only about 35 min away-I'd definitely stay here again. Very comfortable for 3 adults and could have easily entertained 6 or 7.
Home has all of the amenities; a great hot tub; peaceful, forested, fenced back yard; horseshoes and little private areas scattered throughout; the large, comfortable couch was perfect for evening movies (and lazy days); lots of DVD's and Wii games; lots of board games in the back room; open kitchen with everything you could ask for; nice, large dining room table; wifi for working (unfortunately); and little stores for everything else you'd need just a few minutes away. We didn't make it to the community pool but it looked great and was just a short walk from the house.
Be sure to introduce yourselves to the next door neighbors, Samantha and Andy, they're really nice and made us feel very welcome.
Highly recommended!
