  Staffing was fantastic providing tip notch hospitality. Cabin is in an awesome location next to Billy creek. Furniture is very warn out and dated (couches) Beds and bedding were old and warm. Cabin has a great teck and is very quiet with a large equipped kitchen. Jacuzzi tub is off master bedroom and works great but will empty the hot water heater when filled to the minimal operating level so plan accordingly. Television in living room is old and going out but who needs tv when you are living in those beautiful surroundings. I highly reccommend this cabin.

  a guest from Aloha, OR recommends this vacation rental

  My hubby and our dog came here for a quiet holiday getaway, and really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is really pretty and rustic, and way bigger than it looks in the pictures even. We so enjoyed our quiet evenings by the fire, and especially enjoyed the constant sound of the stream behind the house. It was better than any white noise machine when it came to lulling us to sleep! The location was great, and we were super close to the grocery store, some hiking trails, and lots of great diners. Our dog also enjoyed her time there, and loved sniffing around in the woods around the house. I don't think any of us wanted to leave by the time our vacation was up!
  
  The only improvements I would suggest would be that the master bed needs to be tightened up a little, as it is really squeaky. We also had problems with the coffee maker. The water would only run through a small part of the basket, leaving about 75% of the grounds dry, so the coffee that came out was incredibly weak. We never could get it to make coffee properly, which was a bummer.
  
  Otherwise, awesome!!

  Michael S from Hilo, HI recommends this vacation rental

  This is a large, modern log cabin with all the amenities one would expect to find. The setting is among old-growth trees with the Billy Creek just outside and the Salmon River a short walk away. It's the perfect place to retreat and relax, yet just a couple of minutes to a nearby complex that includes a Thriftway Market...very convenient! We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and highly recommend this home to anyone seeking a retreat that is also close to the Mt. Hood Wilderness areas.

  We spent a few days hiking along the Columbia River Gorge and exploring Mt. Hood. After a long and active day on the trails, the log cabin home was perfect place to unwind and relax. It has so much charm. My husband and I really enjoyed every unique knick-knack
  and the 48-star American Flag that decorated the beautiful cabin. It really made our trip to Oregon feel special.

•  

• The property was beautiful, almost enchanting with the misty rain and moss covered branches on the trees. The creek and waterfall were so relaxing and soothing and we enjoyed our walk down to the Salmon River.

  The cabin is exactly what you'd want in a log cabin - gorgeous log beams, a stone fire place, vaulted ceilings. It's beautiful! The only downside is the closeness of the neighbors, but it's still very peaceful and a wonderful place to escape!!!

  We stayed four nights for our anniversary and had the most wonderful time. The setting is just beautiful and we are already planning the next time we can go back and bring our friends. The staff was helpful and the house was amazing... we really enjoyed taking a step back from our hectic schedules to slow down to "mountain time". The cabin was cozy and spacious, perfect for a weekend getaway or special occasion.

  Brian S from Kelso, WA recommends this vacation rental

  It was a weeklong, adult-time vacation and our choice could not have been better. Our dogs loved the backyard of woods and the river, and the creek by the back deck was scenic and tranquil. The cabin was stocked perfectly, with everything you could ever need--except food of course, and the fireplace insert received some good use. Whether relaxing with a DVD, by the creek, the river, the trails, the fireplace, or sleeping after your full day, the cabin and its surroundings feel like home. We were hoping for a more secluded setting--it seemed too residential for a cabin getaway, but it was quiet nevertheless. Overall, I rate it four stars...

  a guest from Yakima, WA recommends this vacation rental

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Bear Den log cabin. It is tucked away in the deep woods near a pleasant babbling brook. We enjoyed reading and watching the stars on the huge deck and barbecuing on the wonderful new gas barbecue. The fireplace was well equipped with wood and starting neccessities which we enjoyed several times during our stay. The well equipped kitchen was the highlight of our stay where we found a food processor, waffle iron, crock pot and coffee grinder to name a few. Dishes and glassware are in good supply. One suggestion might be to add a couple rubber scrapers and a large mixing bowl or two. We loved the garden jet tub in the master bath, too. The reason for the 4 stars under the property's condition is that we had to change a light bulb in the master bath on arrival and the outlet did not work at the sink. The toilet in the downstairs bath is a bit wobbly as well. Thanks for the enjoyable stay and we hope to be back in the future.

  Bear Den was great for two couples. Wonderful to rent a property with a king bed. The hike down to the river was a bit challenging in sandles but worth the effort. The hill driving up to the property and driveway down to the house could be difficult in snow. Property manager was very helpful, friendly, and anticipated our needs including a great collection of materials for the area.

  I've never slept better. Two days back home and I'm having restless nights already. Sitting on the deck playing cards and listening to the birdsong and Johnny Creek is worth a month in Hawaii - without all the hassle of getting there. Bear's Den is a wonderful find for us. I hope we return again and again. Weve already stayed for four years now. Celia and the entire staff are delightful and immediately address whatever is required. Bravo!

  This has to be the easiest review ever. My wife and I had the most enjoyable time at the cabin. She loved it so much and asked if she could stay a couple more days although I had to return to my Construction Business. I called and asked Carrie at the Office of we could have it for 2 more days and there wasn't a problem with that ( actuallly, we had a discount on the next day and a free one after that so everything worked out perfect ! ).
  
  The cabin is located just as I would have built it, along a stream with waterfalls and in the woods of course. This had to be the best getaway we have had since traveling back to Guam a couple years ago. We would love to schedule a stay there again if there are any specials.

  The cabin is unique and fun to stay in. The location is perfect. My only suggestion is that an overhaul of the stove and dishwasher be done. Only half of the stovetop worked and the dishes had to be washed by hand as the dishwasher (no matter how much rinsing was done) did not seem to clean the dishes. We also had to wash all the dishes in the cupboards before using as there was food residue on many of them. Overall a perfect getaway though and I hope to rent this cabin again in the future.

  We really enjoyed our three day weekend here. The rooms are comfortable and the place was clean. The location--just a few steps to the river and a creek, was beautiful and our kids loved exploring. My one concern was that the lighting was very poor. There were few decent reading lights (the bedside lamp in the master was so dark I had to use a flashlight with it). Also, there was no lighting in the upstairs game area. Other than that, we really enjoyed it.

  This is a very charming and comfortable cabin. We had everything we needed for a great weekend. Even though this is a pet friendly home, it was very clean with no sign (like dog fur on the furniture) of past pet visits other than a chewed area rug. We loved the fireplace, forest and creekside setting, and convenience of washer and dryer and equipped kitchen. We will definitely try to stay here again.

  This was our first visit to Mt. Hood (and Oregon generally). This property exceeded every expectation, despite a near-perfect description on the website. Also a terrific value. The only possible suggestion I would make is to provide (or a means to rent) tire chains for driving in the snow...our rental car company didn't provide them, so we had to buy a set.
  
  We will be back, and would not hesitate to recommend this property to our pickiest friends.

  • Manager Responded on 12/4/2009

    The Bear Den Log Cabin is one of our favorites, too. It is a classic log cabin. Regarding chains for rental cars, some of the car rental companies do provide chains, so you need to ask when renting. When visiting in the winter, we suggest renting a 4 wheel drive vehichle. They will still won't have snow tires, but the 4WD will help you get better traction. If you need chains, the Les Schwab Tire company will sell you chains and if you end up not using them, they will buy them back. You can buy them in Sandy about 20 miles down the road. Also Page's Mt Hood Tire, just around the corner from our office sells and install tire chains. You can return those as well if you do not use them.

  the matresses could be upgraded. otherwise everything was fine and acceptable. The general lighting in the cabin is not very good and the lack of a bedside table (there is no room) on one side of the bed in the downstairs bedroon is a bit awkward, if there was a walllight on that side it would be better. The strainers in the kitchen need to be replaces. The white mesh is rusty at the bottom. We were impressed with the firewood, plenty of it and very dry and nicely stacked. We had a great time.

  • Manager Responded on 11/14/2009

    The king mattress upstairs was just replaces, so you must be referring to the queen downstairs. We will work on getting a new mattress for downstairs. We are looking for a nice wall mounted light fixture for the over the bed downstairs, too.

  This was our fifth stay at Bear Den and we love the location and the cabin's design. But this year we noticed quite a few details that need attention: 1) Driveway is so rough as to be unsafe.
  2) Holes and sagging frames in all screen doors meant that we had to leave doors closed during the heat wave.
  3) Living room sofa & love seat are the same as in 2001 and are showing their age -- faded and too soft.
  4) Internet connection was so poorly attached that it fell out, taking phone connection with it. We were able to re-connect. 5) TV, though new in 2008, is smaller and harder to see than the one that was there in 2007.
  However, we still really love the cabin, especially the large bedroom with trees visible from three sides. Also we like the well-equipped kitchen. And, of course, Billy Creek by the deck is a continued delight.
  We hope that some of these areas for improvement will be addressed before our next visit.

  Jim D from Portland, OR does not recommend this vacation rental.

  Overall we were comfortable at Bear Den but a few disappointments distracted from our total vacation experience. The property is not as secluded as it appears to be in the description -- other houses were in close vacinity (although the creek was lovely off the back deck). The first dissapointment was the spa/jacuzi upstairs bath -- my wife settled into a relaxing soak our first night when we discovered water seaping heavily thru the downstairs bathroom light fixture -- consequently, none of the family used the upstairs for bathing for fear of electical damage. Also, the upstairs toilet kept getting stuck -- the chain would get caught underneath the flapper and we would have to go back in to fix it. (particularly irritating during sleeping hours) -- Trails on the property were unaccessable because of "Private Property" signs. We had to drive 1 mile west to Wildwood Recreational Area to hike on overpopulated overgroomed paths. Whatever board games on the premises were in a locked cabinet -- we noticed them upon removing an upper drawer when trying to locate. And last but not least, we found trash under the upstairs bedroom end table and what looked like cotton candy stuck to the carpet under the pull-out bed from previous tenants during our final inspection before vacating the premises.

  This was our first trip to Oregon. The rental staff was very helpful at finding house that met our requirements. We spent most of our time out touring the area and enjoying the outdoors, but the house was very functional, clean and well located to the major Mt. Hood activities. Cabin is a little dark and cool because of the shade, but this can be a plus on the hotter days when the house stays very cool.

  Everything was great except for the beds were really uncomfortable and the walk down the driveway was a bit treacherous (I'm 8 months pregnant with a 1.5 yr old)because it hadn't been plowed.
  check in at 4pm is a bit late because by the time you get to the rental, it's almost dark. other than that, we had a lovely time. thank you.

  • Manager Responded on 1/12/2009

    With the crazy winter storm, and record-breaking amounts of snow fall in a short 2 weeks, it was really difficult for our contracted snow plowers to get to all of the homes on the mountain, not just ours, as frequently as everyone would have liked. We will be looking into the mattress situation.

  We have used Cascade Property Management several times and have always found Cecilia to be warm, friendly, and VERY helpful. That said, I suggest the employees like Cecilia buy and run the company from the owner who needs to take a lesson from her employees on customer service. We asked for an early check in the night of our arrival. We called the day before our arrival to confirm this. We were told that we needed to call back the day of our arrival to check it;s availability EVEN THOUGH the cabin was empty. The owner who was telling us this, could not be bothered to go check the cabin that day and would send Cecilia to check it the next day. She was borderline rude and if she answers the phone in the future, I would recommend hanging up and calling back until you get Cecilia. Other than that, the cabin is GREAT!

  • Manager Responded on 11/3/2008

    FYI-We always prefer to inspect a rental home the same day of arrival to be sure everything is functioning properly such as electricity, water, heat, etc. And if the weather is cool, we will turn on the heat and we will always leave a few lights on, so you can find your way around an unfamiliar home. However, we will always try to accommodate an early check in and we were able to do so for you.

  loved the cabin but it was very dark--poor lighting for reading. Tub jets didn't work, TV/dvd was glitchy. Great BBQ and deck! Master bed was too soft. Nice stay, however

  • Manager Responded on 10/1/2008

    We apologize for the inadequate lighting; the darkness of the logs does not reflect light as well as white walls. We will look into providing a few more lamps in the living room. The tub jets can be turned on and off with a switch and timer that are on the wall at the opposite end of the spiggot for the tub. If that does not work, then we just need to flip a reset button. And you always need to be sure the water level is above the jets. The TV/DVD was not working properly because someone before you had disconnected the cords in the back. We ask people not to do that, but it seems that at least once a week, we need to reconnect electronics. The master king mattress set is brand new; you were the second guests to use it, so it must be less firm than you prefer.

  We loved staying in this stunningly beautiful log cabin home. It was cozy, inviting, and relaxing.
  The only upgrade we'd suggest is a more comfortable bed in the upstairs master, maybe a pillowtop, and nicer linens & quilts. Loved the river rock fireplace, wonderful kitchen, open floor plan, and soaring ceilings. We'd return anytime!

  Pam E from Oregon City, OR recommends this vacation rental

  My only negative comments would be that I had no reminder of the payment withdrawal before it came out of my account. I was expecting to receive paperwork to sign to verify banking info and didn't receive anything. The original reservation transaction was a long time before the actual payment and a reminder would have helped. I did cause a problem because I needed to move money to cover the cost and since I was waiting for something to sign (like I did the first time we rented) I had significant overdrafts. What would have happened if I had switched banks and the attempt by you would have bounced? I really think that a reminder and a check on bank info is a necessary courtesy that can save much hearache. The only other thing I would like to mention is that I had to rewash many of the dishes before using them. I know this is probably a really hard thing to manage since there are so many dishes but I needed to mention it. All in all we had a nice stay.

  • Manager Responded on 9/12/2008

    We do send our guests a reminder at the time of booking that indicates the payment policies and dates. It also states that we will use the credit card or debit card number you provided upon making your reservation unless you send us a check or provide a new credit card or debit card. I apologize if that was not clear in the correspondence that was sent to you. Betsy

  We stayed at this location primarily to take our two dogs away from fireworks. They're older and are easily upset by the noise. We were told fireworks are illegal in the area -- unfortunately the neighbors across the street lit them off two of the evenings, which put a damper on the trip. I would recommend this vacation home to others only if they were not concerned about fireworks. We would very much like to rent from Cascade Property Management next year, but only if we could be assured that we would not have this same experience.

  • Manager Responded on 7/23/2008

    Hi Melanie- I fully understand your dissatisfaction with the fireworks that the neighbors were using. I am with you on this one and wish people wouldn't set them off here. Unfortunately, we cannot control the neighbors' behavior. Other pet-friendly homes that are more separated from other homes and hopefully from noises are Woodland Lodge, Deer Island Chalet, Riverwood Hideaway & Wy'East Log Lodge for future visits. Betsy

  Don H from Portland, OR recommends this vacation rental

  Beautifully designed, spacious cabin right on the rushing creek- perfect location, still close to town when we forgot our Stumptown coffee for the espresso machine. Walk thru old forest to the Salmon River was magical! Sitting on the porch over Billy Creek, I could just feel the stress of the past year leaking out. Just a few maintenance issues that Don gave a list of to the management staff were graciously received- the biggest being that the phone line had been cut so there was no phone line, and no free wi-fi, but even that turned out to be a blessing so we wouldn't be on the computer instead of out on the porch de-stressing. Overall, a perfect cabin in a perfect location. (The low cleaning is because all the cute little lamps are covered with layers of dust, the LR throw smelled months beyond a good wash, and the huge carpenter ants (alive and dead) were in the LR throw, on the kitchen counter, in the baths, in the jacuzzi tub.)

  My husband and I wanted a quiet place to get away to for our anniversary. We found the Bear's Den was just what we were looking for. It's secluded spot offered quiet from city and people. The flow of Billy Creek provided the sound of water we so like when relaxing. The house is well furnished with all the modern appliances while setting the ambiance of a rustic cabin. It was the perfect weekend that did not last long enough. We plan to return again in the fall for another weekend and maybe take an extra day or two. We cannot thank the owners enough for making this setting available to us and others who will certainly enjoy the location. The weather was not the best but Sunday did afford us an opportunity to get out a bit and hike around and then just sit and enjoy the expansive back deck in the summer sun.
