  This was coziest, most well-designed vacation rental I've ever stayed in. Nothing awkward or mismatched-- and such a well-stocked kitchen! The location-- right on the river-- was perfect.

  We rented two units and I was under the impression the two units were going to be much closer together. It was farther away then we would have liked to be. The grounds, hot tubs, and convience were terrific. Thanks

  a guest from Vancouver, WA recommends this vacation rental

  Kitchen was stocked nicely, and there was lots of room for us to spread out...grandparents on lower level, and mom, dad, and 3 kids on the second floor loft/bedroom area.
  
  I was surprised that the view across the river included 3 other cabins, but thankfully noise was not a problem for us just some bright lights we could have done without. Other homes on either side of this cabin are separated by trees and hottub area felt private to us.
  
  All and all a fun family time at the cabin for us. We enjoyed the deck of cards, UNO cards, and puzzles.

  The house was wonderful. The view from the deck to the river was so peaceful and pristine. The kitchen was fully stocked, from pots and pans to spices. I wish there had been coasters for the furniture and I must agree with previous reviews that the water pressure in the showers was dismal. All in all, we really enjoyed our visit and would definately stay again.

  Barbara S from Seattle, WA recommends this vacation rental

  It was a perfect vacation for us. Lots of rest and fun and reading and watching and listening to the rushing Salmon river. The only minus was that there were no walks to go on from the house since everything was private property. Our not street savvy dog got into trouble several times, once being rescued by a local resident that lived on the street that runs into Hwy 26. This put us on edge, and we could never quite relax when he wasn't within view. I wouldn't recommend this house to people with adventuresome dogs, however.

  The sound system on the TV was very poor and the location was a little more like a neighborhood than we typically care for. The house was fully stocked and the view was to die for. Mt. Hood Rentals always does an amazing job cleaning the houses.

  Keith V from Beaverton, OR does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The dishes were dirty, the deck was covered with tree branches, leaves, and snow and unusable. The water presure was horrible, making it impossible to take a real shower.
  
  I will not be renting this location againa and I will be thinking twice before renting from Mt Hood if this is type of quality I can expect.
  
  VERY Disappointing.

  • Manager Responded on 3/12/2012

    Thank you for your comments. We noticed after your check-out that the plastic wrapper around the dishwasher detergent tab had not been removed when placed in the dishwasher. That means the dishes went through the cydle without any detergent; that would explain dishes not getting clean. You arrived right after 3 days of snowfall. It is not customary for us to shovel all of the snow off the deck; we do shovel pathways to the BBQ and hot tub however. We will clean up yard debris as much as possible, but it is not really very easy to do when it is on the snow. Our best recommendation if you prefer no snow around your vacation rental is to visit Mt Hood between April and October. We appreciate the head's up about the water pressure; we will look into that.

  As a bunch of old friends from junior high we all have spent alot of time together over the years. Now 20 years out of high school we got our group together again.
  
  The cabin, the outdoors and the views were excellent. The cabin was perfect for playing cards, eating good food and relaxing.
  
  Well done!

  My friends and I rented this house together for a birthday and scary movie weekend. We couldn't have been happier with the house and our experience. The house (particularly the kitchen) was lavishly appointed with everything we could possibly need. The river view was breathtaking. We cooked, we baked, we barbecued, we hot-tubbed, we slept comfortably, and scared ourselves silly with movies. This beautiful and clean home was difficult to leave!

  We had a family gathering and experienced wonderful, dry, fall weather. The salmon were heading upstream and spawning right in front of us! This home's garden is tranquil and the rush of the river is a lullaby. The home is well-stocked for connossier cooks and the kitchen is laid out well. There's enough space to spread out and hang out together. I believe this was our 3rd stay at Salmon River Resort. Great place.

  The most gorgeous views of the Salmon River. Everything was first class. The house and the furnishings were so impressive. The views from kitchen, dining room & living room couldn't be improved upon. The only thing that could have been better was large
  fish in the river...but there are other places close by if you want to catch bigger fish. The deck overlooking the river was wonderful. Everything was first class. Thank you so much!

  We loved how cozy this cabin was. We had kids come and go from all ages and everyone loved this spot. I liked the upstairs space to send kiddo's to play games, etc while we enjoyed our quiet time and wine downstairs. The river is perfectly situated for kids that are younger. Everything was just right. I know some mentioned the neighbors across the river, it may bother some but I enjoyed it entirely.
  Thanks to the homeowners for a fully stocked kitchen! We especially enjoyed the outdoor seating and bbq! Have fun all!

•  

• The house is comfortable and well-appointed, and in a beautiful spot. Everything was as promised. The wi-fi did go out midway, but that was not all bad. Next time we might chose a spot with fewer neighbors. Overall we loved it.

  When you start off your trip finding out the rental is no where near where you were told it would be it can't help but taint your stay. The worst thing about Mt. Hood Vacation Rentals is that they don't disclose the property address until you arrive. You are forced to trust that the person you are dealing with is listening and taking into account what you are asking for. In my case she repeated my needs back to me and then lied to get me into the completely opposite property. Buyer beware.The house was fine if you don't mind wasting $750 for two nights NOT being in the wilderness. The house is right off Highway 26 and 3 miles from town. It was Not private, the old geezers watching us in the hottub across the creek, greasy counters, 20 sticks of wood does not a fire make. Had I known where this house was I never would've paid so much for it. Complete rip off from what I was promised. Mt. Hood Rentals owes my party $300 because that is what would've been fair for a weekend at this place that was not even close to what I was promised. We usually use but from now on any properties with a property manager will be avoided.

  • Manager Responded on 3/14/2011

    We are so sorry to hear that there was a misunderstanding about the location of the rental home. I remember speaking with you and you expressed that you thought this cabin was at White River where you were planning to participate in the Tubbs Romp To Stomp Out Breast Cancer Snowshoe event. White River is in the middle of the national forest and there are no buildings there, so we just are not sure how that was misunderstood. There are no rental homes in the wilderness (not permitted). There are forest service cabins in the Rhododendron and Government Camp area, but they are not permitted to be rented out, so you will always be in a legal residential area when you rent at Mt Hood. I can assure you that we are always very careful to correctly represent our rental homes in all manners. We do provide a starter supply of firewood, which is 10 pieces per night. Several local stores sell firewood or you can opt to purchase more from us. We do not give out addresses to the rental homes before arrival because we have had too many problems with guests driving up to the mountain and snooping around the home when other people are enjoying the home. Imagine how you would have felt if you were at the home for the weekend and you saw someone walking around in the yard or peeking in the windows? This home is private, but not completely secluded. On our website, it is stated that this home is "Semi-Secluded, may see 1 or 2 other homes, but not too close".

  As we sat on the deck enjoying breakfast to the accompaniment of Nature's music of river water rushing past boulders and wind playing through the pine needles and birdsong, we gazed up at the towering trees into the clear blue sky and sighed with relaxation and respite. We so much enjoyed our stay; we hated to tear ourselves away. We have talked about coming back for anniversaries every year, as this will always be a special vacation house for us. It was a romantic paradise.

  The absolute best part of the last minute (I mean last minute, we rented it the day we stayed in it!) vacation was the helpfulness of the ladies who work the front desk at your office. They turned what could have been a disastrous anniversary vacation into a most memorable time away. The house was beautiful, very well maintained and stocked. We spent most of our vacation there instead of out and about. Thanks!

  We had been talking about a cabin in the woods for Christmas for years. When Glenn surprised me in April with a weekend at the Salmon River Retreat, I knew it was the place. When we went to the office to return the keys, I rented the Retreat on the spot!
  Glenn was delighted with the choice as he knows Mt Hood Rentals well. He does a lot of the pest control with his company Oregon Insect and Rodent Control.We offered this retreat to our two grown daughters and their husbands as our Christmas gift and it was fabulous!
  I let Glenn and the kids enjoy the beautiful kitchen while I relaxed in the refreshingly clean hot tub. The night before Christmas not a complain was to be heard or any mice either!!
  It was absolutely the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER.

  My wife and I took our 2 mothers to the Mt Hood area for an early Mother's day retreat. The staff at Mt Hood Vacation Rentals couldn't have been more helpful! Most importantly they listened to our requests and our needs. I told them we'd probably spend the weekend playing games and when we arrived at the "retreat" there was a vase with fresh flowers and two decks of cards setting on the dining table! Nice touch! The mom's were loving me! We all would recommend this place to anyone and everyone! The setting was beyond wonderful!There's a beautiful deck overlooking the river. The grounds surrounding the house were imacculate. We cooked all but one of our meals at the house and found everything we needed and then some. The beds were comfortable and as well as the rest of the furnishings. The house had 3 TV's but we didn't turn one on! We visited Timberline Lodge and hiked in a wonderful park just minutes from the house. Almost forgot to mention the hot tub, picture yourself soaking away watching the stars and and listening to the river roll by......Our only regret was not being able to stay longer.

  Our stay at the Salmon River Retreat in Brightwood was just wonderful. The home was spotless and had everything we needed. We especially loved the back porch just steps from the river. And the many nearby hiking trails. During our early September vacation the weather was beautiful everyday. The kids loved the many games and puzzles available at the home. I great time was had by all. Thank you Cascade Management for finding the PERFECT home for our family get-together.

  The Salmon Retreat cabin is lovely, well-equipped, and well-maintained, with just two problems last weekend with the hot tub and the fireplace.
  
  The hot tub was cooling and in the 90s when we first checked it on Saturday afternoon, after your office had closed for the day. There appeared to be no way for us to reset the temperature, and the hot tub continued to cool. It was in the 80s when we called on Sunday morning. You reset it during the day on Sunday, and it was hot on Sunday evening and Monday morning, when we used it.
  
  The fireplace didn't seem safe or comfortable to use. When a fire was built on Friday evening, the chimney began to slowly leak smoke inside the living room. From the outside of the cabin, the chimney seemed to be working. But inside, smoke could be seen slowly leaking from the joints in the flue, where the pipe turns close to the ceiling. To compound the smoke problem, when the fireplace door was opened to make any adjustments to the fire, smoke poured out of the door.
  
  We built our first fire on Friday evening, but quickly put it out when the leaks became apparent. After we called on Sunday (about the fireplace and hot tub), someone from you office built a fire while we were out - hen we returned, windows were open and the cabin was a bit smokey. But no note was left saying whether the problem had been fixed. We built a second fire on Sunday evening, but again put it out after smoke again leaked into the cabin.
  
  We've rented this Salmon Retreat before, and seem to remember similar problems with the chimney leaking, though less severely back then.
  
  A hot tub and a warm fire would have been nice to enjoy on a cool rainy weekend like the last one.

    Hi-We agree that the hot tub and woodstove are important features in the rental home. We always check the hot tubs within a day prior to your arrival and it was functioning properly at that time. Unfortunately, a number of factors can cause the hot tub to shut down. Usually, we just need to reset the hot tub at the breaker. We do have an afterhours phone number that is in the green brochure you received at check in and in the guest book in the home. If we receive a phone call, we will try to get the hot tub heating the first night of your visit. We are disappointed about the leaking stove pipe on the woodstove as it had been repaired about 6 months ago. We are in the process of following up on this issue as of course the woodstove is important as the cooler months approach. Betsy

  We really enoyed the cabin. The kitchen was very well stocked with equipment, all the furnishings were nice, the deck was fabulous, and the river lovely. We would definitely come back again. Thanks!

  The Salmon River Retreat is a wonderful place. Pride in ownership is most apparent. And there are many amenities to enjoy (hot tub, blender, and even a quesadilla grill!).

  I researched all of the nearby CPM locations, but my first FIVE choices were booked. Fortunately, I was very pleasantly surprised with how nice SRR was, and how much we enjoyed it. I thought I had brought everything we would need, but was glad to find the cupboards stocked. (By the way, you're now out of Garlic Powder. :) I loved being so close to the river, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend CPM/SRR to anyone. I hope to visit several other CPM locations before the summer is over. All around pleasant experience from beginning to end.

  NOthing topped the view and presence of the river at this location. The house and ammenities were very nice but the view was spectacular. Most of our time was spent at the kitchen table looking out.

• Lovely home right on the river ~ perfect for our 2 families enjoying a ski weekend at Mt. Hood Meadows!

  We've stayed here twice and we'll definitely stay here again. It's big enough for two families, but not too big for just one. The kids loved playing in the river and the parents loved the hot tub.
