  Great experience! Used the house for a weekend golfing trip. Could not have been more convenient. Cari was easy to work with, and made renting the place a breeze. Location is terrific if you're looking for a rustic cabin with easy access to Mt. Hood or Portland. The house is right on the Salmon River, and we enjoyed listening to the water while relaxing on the porch. We will definitely go back.

  This place is just great. Kids loved it, adults loved it, just an overall wonderful place to get away and enjoy nature and the conventional cabin. Only thing I'd suggest is a deeper cleaning overall. Too many dust bunnies and build up but didn't detract us from a wonderful stay. Thanks so much.
  
  We kept a fire going the entire time in that amazing fireplace, kids loved it.

  The main problem was that the futons and one of the bunk beds won't work for adults. The 3 futons are only about 4-5 feet long. The space between the lower and upper bunks is very narrow, ok if this was a submarine, but not here; it could be closer to the floor instead. Also the Queen bed upstairs facing the river is way too soft, and the hot tub sometimes wouldn't get up past 98 or 100. Finally, several of us tried and failed to get the audio and the DVD player to work at the same time. Well, talking was fun, too. Otherwise it was great, especially the covered porch, the fireplace, the dining room, and most of the beds. And the staff was as responsive as they could be.

  Other than the rental contract sounding like one threat after another, the experience was wonderful, somewhat helpful staff, were planning on staying again very soon and wanted to see another property less than a 1/2 mile away and was told "NO", it was vacant at the time of the request. Various lame excuses,one after another as to why we could not view the property.(Just wanted to view the outside of it)also " partly my fault" did not read every last word in household book, could have gotten a preferred resort card and saved 10 % over $ 30.00 at the nearby resort for dinners we enjoyed, remember to ask for this card, they do not come right out and offer it to you.
  Overall the trip was great, lots of things in the area to do, would stay again. Thanks Mt hood rentals, "Cari" :)

  You will love this place if you like big trees, and a simple,unpretentious place, with lots of history. The deck is wonderful. We liked the old internal decor, the original walls and floor. The fireplace did sometimes smell smoky, and that can best be handled by building your fire at the back of the fireplace. The staff (Cari) was great.

  The TV and audio system should be replaced, you need 3 remote controls to use the TV. Had to go the the store to purchase 3 prong to 2 prong AC wall plug adaptors so we could plug in our computer. The only grounded outlets are in the kitchen. The cabin was rustic and fun, and large enough for our family. If you have mobility issues, getting to the river will be a challange, with a steep trail the get there.

  Very nice cabin. good location. very good/friendly help from property management personnel. A couple of small points: many of the lights in house did not work. the hot tub was very nice, but the room adjacent to it plus shower is very dirty. Not sure if it is even operational but condition should be clean. also, appears there is sauna in same room. Is it operational? Are there directions for use? Regardless, our stay was great! Thx again

  Amy S from Rathdrum, ID does not recommend this vacation rental.

  We loved the location and beautiful scenery. The deck was great and so was the hot tub. All the beds were very comfortable as well. However, the cabin is in need of a little maintainence/upgrades. The downstairs shower was unusable due to rust all over the floor and shower head. The property managment company was very helpful in having someone come out to replace the shower head but there was still a considerable amount of rust on the tiles so we did not use it. Also, most of the dishes/pans had dried on food etc. and there were dirty towels in the washer and dryer when we arrived. We also had to buy cleaning supplies to give the kitchen a once over. There was a white plastic table and chairs on the deck that is in desperate need of replacement. It was very dirty with black mold. I like rustic cabins but this one needs a little TLC to make it more comfortable.

  We stayed at Huckleberry Wilderness Lodge the end of August 2011 with plans to attend the Huckleberry Festival that weekend. Unfortunately the berries were late due to weather conditions and the very small festival was not what we had expected. One good
  part of our trip was the wonderful rustic home we stayed in which was had very easy access to the main road and groceries at Thriftway. We loved sitting out on the deck and listening to the river, and the location is great if you will be spending any time
  at The Resort for golf, meals, or the spa. There was plenty of room for our family to visit and relax. This is an older home with a need for some maintenance, but overall was comfortable. The bigest complaint we had was the lack of screens on the windows which
  made it challenging to cool the home, especially in the evenings, and fans would have helped a lot. Perhaps the homeowner could install some retractable screens in strategic locations like the kitchen and one in each bedroom without damaging the rustic appearance
  and provide a fan for each room, or better yet install cealing fans. The bedrooms were large but the mattresses weren't the most comfortable. This is a good home for a family reunion, and we loved playing at the attractions up the mountain. The staff were
  very helpful, especially Emily, and we will definitely use Mt. Hood Rentals again on our next visit to the area.

  The Cabin was well maintained and in a nice location. It has specious living room and reasonably equiped kichen. There are no King size beds which is a disadvantage and the river location was a bit over promising during reservations - no direct access to trails at all. The forest ranger office is close by and good selection of places for food and beverages.

  It would be great to see a few simple upgrades to the property, like the upstairs bathroom - shower curtain, maybe a shower rod so an average person can take a shower with out rubbing on the curtain. Also, the main entrance door does not latch very well and ends up wide open, unless it is locked. The sound on the TV did not work, very disappointing. Maybe some simple directions for the TV would be helpful. Hot Tub was great! There was plenty of hot water! Beds were wonderful and so were the pillows. It is a great little place and we do enjoy staying there.

  The house was great, we had a very good time, the hot tub was not very convenient being by the garage, so we didn’t get to use it, we wished it was on the house deck, that would have been wonderful, the bathrooms needed maintenance but all in all they are ok to use.... The house needs a new oven too because only one side lights up when your baking...The only thing the house had a spooky feeling to it, we are dying to know what’s in that cabinet in the bunk bed room bc that’s were the knocking noises were coming from at night but the door is locked....and downstairs is warm but upstairs in the hallway was super cold...
  But I really recommend this house, the sound of the river is beautiful and the location is wonderful close to the store and to mt.hood was 10 minutes and the staff was excellent in the rental office and very helpful.
  

  • Manager Responded on 1/6/2010

    Thanks for letting us know about the oven. We will take a look at that. It is only a couple of years old, so it might just need a new element. The closet you are asking about is for extra supplies like toilet paper and laundry detergent. Nothing else in there, sorry. If you keep the door at the bottom of the stairs open, the heat should rise to the upstairs.

  This is the second time we have stayed in a cabin in this area. We were expecting to have a weekend of privacy with our dogs and were dissapointed to find that we had a neighbor right next to us. This property should not be called secluded, not even semi secluded, and we would not have chosen to stay at this cabin if we had known it wasn't secluded as advertised. With that said, we had a good time. The short walk to the river was nice, although a neighbor had four large labs running around on the property often so we had to time our trips outside around them. The cabin itself was great, the property was beautiful, and the people at the office were very friendly. We will not stay at this cabin again because we like to stay in places with more privacy, but for someone who doesn't care about seclusion the cabin would be great.

  • Manager Responded on 11/14/2009

    We apologize to hear that you did not have the seclusion you were looking for. Not sure about the 4 dogs, they must have been weekend visitors, too. Make sure you remind us about the importance of seclusion when you make your next reservation.

  Great quiet spot to get away from the chaos of the 4th of July back home. We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the river. The only issues we had were with the TV - first we could not locate the remote. Turns out it was buried in couch cushions and as I was looking in the cushions it dropped down to the floor - but didn't discover it there till later. Haha! Then TV had sound initially but after a little while, no sound. We left for a while and when we got back, TV's sound worked again, briefly. Then I figured out to use the surround sound to hear programs (hint: use the VCR to watch TV). Instructions would've been nice as every set up is different. The property was just beautiful. Close to town but quiet.

    Hi-The bathroom is being updated this spring. We are installing a ventilation fan, so the moisture won't cause the paint to peel. This project should be done by June. Also, there was water damage this winter due to a leaky roof. The roof is being repaired this week and the sheetrock and paint in the bedrooms is being fixed next week, so all will be done by first of June.

  I had a personal emergency a few days before the weekend was planned. I tried and tried to postpone the rental to the following weekend, or to another home the following weekend.
  
  I understand that I had a signed contract and had chosen not to purchase cancellation insurance. However, human emergencies arise, and it seemed to me that especially for a returning renter they would have shown some compassion and flexibility. I would have been happy to switch to any of the MANY other homes that were available the next weekend, including a smaller home. Some of our group ended up going; my party came for just dinner one night.
  
  Condition of the house - generally good, though in the bathrooms the paint is peeling, shower curtains are mildewy, Otherwise it is a beautiful home.
  
  But I will not rent from them again. What if there had been a death in the family? would they still have shown such lack of human compassion?

  • Manager Responded on 3/5/2009

    The good news is that the emergency wasn't too serious as you were still able to come up to the mountain for the weekend. We are glad that you and your friends had a good time! It is too bad that some of your friends cancelled on you at the last minute.

  Shelley R from San Jose, CA recommends this vacation rental

  In general the stay was excellent. The layout was great with 5 cozy bedrooms and a very workable separation of the TV and Fireplace with excellent seating accommodations. The place was well stocked and the furniture was more than ample. Having firewood was a nice touch. The deck, although not used due to the weather, looked particularly inviting.
  
  A few things would make it even better:
  1) The electrical is ancient with no grounding, some sockets not secure and no GFI’s.
  2) The down stairs shower was inoperable
  3) There should be a garbage disposal
  4) The hot tub was cool at 91°
  5) The internet became inoperable after a power failure. Although reconnecting was simple, the instructions for doing this were not published. Simple enough, but impossible if it is not noted somewhere. This is particularly frustrating when the brochure states that power failures are not unusual. Getting on the internet is absolutely essential to those who are required to check their email. FYI every time there is a power failure or the router is reset do the following:
  a. Log on to the wireless router
  b. Log onto the internet (will get an error message)
  c. Type 192.168.1.1/Verizon/redirect.htm into the address bar
  i. Username is Admin
  ii. Password is password
  d. Click on DISABLE
  e. Next screen
  i. Username is Admin
  ii. Password is Admin
  iii. Confirm Password Admin
  iv. Voila – logged on!!
  6) With all of the snow it was very difficult finding the actual car port at night. Better instructions or even someone at the facility would have been helpful.
  7) A walking map of the local area would help. For example, how does one get to the river?
  8) Lastly, for a variety of reasons we were not able to bring the dogs. I can understand why there would be an extra charge for having dogs. I don’t understand why there is a charge for dogs when they were not there. This is unacceptable. I will call to get a bett

  it was generally pretty clean except for the upstairs bathroom. No ventilation, no switch for a fan, windows open but too cold after a shower, dried bugs on ceiling and peeling paint, mildewed window shade. Some rooms could use a new coat of paint! Also, very dim lights -- pretty but really hard to read by.

    We have a paint job and vent install scheduled for right after the new year.

  We had a wonderful time and appreciated our stay at the Huckleberry Cabin. We've been looking for a cabin to become our go to spot and this cabin could be just what we've been looking for. However, two of the bedrooms really need some help. The beds in the trundle room and bunk room are unusable for adults. The trundle bed squeaks with every breath. The only option for a decent night sleep is to put a mattress on the floor, thus rendering the room as a single occupancy room versus the double occupancy it's billed as. The bunk room is even worse. Our friend who drew the short straw was more comfortable sleeping on the couch downstairs versus trying to make that room comfortable. As a result, the house is really usable as a 3 or 4 bedroom house not the 5 bedroom it's listed as.
  
  Thanks,
  Angela

    Thank you very much for your comments. We are in the process of replacing the trundle bed with a queen bed and will be reinforcing the slats for the bunk beds and adding new mattresses to make them much more comfortable. We will see you again soon!

  Overall we were very pleased with the property, and we all had a great time. A couple of minor changes would have earned all five-star ratings. The gas stove has one nonfunctioning burner. The kitchen is will equipped, but lacked instruction sheets. In particular the control of the burners on the stove is not intuitively obvious, and the coffee/espresso maker needed a bit of explanation. We chose not to use the latter. Lastly, we all felt that there was need for more light in the kitchen and the living area. We had fully sunny days, but had to turn on lamps during the day. At the very least the existing lamps needed higher wattage bulbs, but larger lamps would have been better. We'll chalk problems with the TV up to old guys trying to run technology. The folks from the rental office were super in providing the help we needed when we needed it.
  
  Now it may sound like there were lots of things wrong, but in fact these are minor items that simply would have made a superb experience even better. We had a great time and would have no qualms about recommending Mt. Hood Rentals to friends.

  Really enjoyed the location and rustic feel of the house. It could use a few updates at this point, especially considering the rent, but still comfortable and pleasant in that rustic cabin way.

  The only problem we encountered was the sound on the TV did not work (and my husband spent 2 days figuring out how to fix it) and the bathroom faucet handle was broken. Other than that it was fantastic! The property managers were terrific-- knowledgable, helpful and caring people.

  • Manager Responded on 9/12/2008

    We have purchased a new surround stereo for the home which has been integrated into the TV, so now you can watch movies or listen to music in surround sound. There are 5 or 6 speakers throughout the room! And we have replaced both bathroom faucets, so this will not be a problem for your next visit.

  We had a wonderful time. More directions for the hot tub would have been helpful and the downstairs bathroom could use some upgrading. Also, we had a problem with the tv and though someone came out to check it, the problem was not corrected and we were not given a new tv.

  • Manager Responded on 9/13/2008

    Hi-Thank you for your comments. The property owner is looking into a bathroom upgrade, so hopefully the next time you visit, it will have been done. We apologize that the TV sound was so low. It took a couple of visits and quite a bit of troubleshooting to determine the problem, however it has been resolved now. There should be instructions for the hot tub in the Guest Guide Book in the home. We will check to be sure they are still in the book. Betsy

  The property was very nice. I wished the hot tub had worked better, but other than that I loved the sound of the river and the stroll down to the water. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would definitly consider this or another property in the future.

  The electrical wiring became loose during our stay, causing the lights to be at about 25%. When management was called, they said they would come the next day, despite there being no heat and limited firewood. A couple of calls later, management finally came out and PGE got the problem fixed, but the response from management was very slow.

  I had not gotten the impression from the website that we would be so close and have such a great view of the river! It was great! I do wish the hot tub were a bit closer to the home, but it was still a great amenity. I love the wraparound, covered porch and the drive through (although quite narrow) driveway. Unloading was much easier this way. Overall the house was great and we had an excellent time. I chose this home because it had a unique style and because it could sleep more than many of the others. I would consider taking down the car port that is already almost fallen over, but as I said I did enjoy the style of the home. Thank you for the wonderful stay. We plan to look into renting this house during the summer months next time so that we can enjoy the river.

  The setting was beautiful. The web picture layout made it seem as though the river was closer to the house. In actuality it was a bit of a hike down a very small trail. The house was very drafty and cold, especially in the dining room and upstairs. The hot tub was too far away from the main house and the building it was in was in very poor condition.
