Dishwasher was not functioning, never got fixed. Hot tub was not in the range the hot tub agreementpaper said to keep it(102-104); locked on temp 95 degrees and chillycabin overall was very comfortable and cozy, nearby creekvery prettyunfortunately a little chilly.
A wonderful get-a-way.
The process of renting and spending a week with a Mt. Hood Vacation rental was extraordinary! The staff was incredibly helpful regarding not only the cabin selection and rental, but advice about our overall vacation plan in the area. It was a PERFECT honeymoon with everything totally clear and taken care of all week.
The only thing lacking at this wonderful cabin was snow. The hot tub made up for that!WE had a great time and will come back again.
coffee maker was broken and leaked all over the counter. So no coffee in the morning which was kind of a bummer but other wise the place was great. The ladies in the office were very nice
We will be replacing the coffee maker. We would have brought you a new coffee maker iif you had called us.
Me and my wife stayed here and had a wonderful time! I would go back again for sure. It was peaceful and clean. I liked the location right by the river and it was secluded!
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the Moondance Cabin. This is a great cabin for our guests who like a classic mountain experience.
I loved the log cabin feel and the sound of the river. The deck was large and great for relaxing or entertaining. The property manager was friendly and accomodating. They do not charge for alot of extra things that other properties do which make it affordable.
The Moondance is the perfect spot for a few days of rest and relaxation. The hot tub was soothing. The creek was roaring which was a very soothing sound. The cabin had everything that we needed and was more than we expected. We would come back again!
The Moondance Cabin was a cozy cabin that felt warm and inviting after a long day skiing at one of the ski areas around Mt. Hood. It was secluded enough to have privacy, but also close to many recreation opportunities and amenities. We had a great time and would love to come back.
The only complaint I have of the place was that it was a little bit lacking in helpful amenities. It would have been nice if there had been a blow dryer, binoculars, more than on bar of soap in the bathroom (so I didn't have to keep moving it from shower to sink), band-aids. The kitchen was stocked nicely, but the bathroom seemed to need some extras. But, really that is little to complain about. It is a very comfortable and clean cabin.
My wife and I had a perfect visit. The cabin was immaculately clean, cozy, and very well provisioned. But what we loved most was the setting: secluded, private, wholly surrounded by trees, with the creek running right past the deck and the hot tub. Our stay was brief, but couldn't have pleased us more. Also, our thanks to Cecilia at the property management office, who was professional, helpful, and charming. We would love to return someday, and have already recommended Cascade Property, and particularly Moondance Cabin, to our friends.
As we say in Hawaii - MAHALO (thank you) Donna Springer and family
Don't be cheap on the easy stuff (e.g., laundry detergent, fire wood).
We leave a starter supply of laundry detergent and firewood in the home for our guests. There are plenty of other supplies provided in the home including paper napkins, paper towels, foil, plastic wrap, dishwasher detergent and liquid dish soap, toilet paper & facial tissue. We leave enough firewood for a 2-3 hour fire each evening of your visit; you may purchase more firewood if you would like more fires. We do not ask you to wash any of the linens, so the supply of laundry detergent left is complimentary in case you wish to launder personal items. Betsy
From the moment you turn into the driveway you exit the normal world and enter a magical forest retreat.We WILL return (soon I hope).
A great getaway for 4 days, perfectly situated a few steps from Clear Creek. Listening to the creek is so relaxing on the huge deck, or from the adjacent hot tub. (Wish there was fishing in the creek, though). Please replace the grill or at least the grill parts. It is not usable. I cooked some corn for about 15 minutes at the highest temperature, and could still pick it up with my bare hands...Water pressure was a little lacking, and the 5' 4" shower head made you bend over to wash your hair.Loved the log cabin - this was a perfect little 2 bed 2 bath rental with a big dining room table and a nice sized kitchen. Would love to come back and stay again in the winter.
Thank you for your comments regarding the BBQ. We will look into the parts and replace or repair as needed. Unfortunately, at the end of summer, some of the homes in the Mt Hood area have wells with low water tables. We have not heard this comment about Moondance Cabin before, so we will look into it. Especially this year, when we had so much snow so late, we would not expect this to come up. Betsy
We loved this cabin. The location was great and the cabin was clean with a nice personal touch. The boys LOVED searching for the various litte gnomes. We will definately be back.
we wanted to clean up before we left but the vaccuum does not function!Also...the dead ants (they crawled into the cabin to die, for there were new ones each day) were a little disconcerting.Overall it was a pleasing experience!
We have an invasion of the carpenter ants every spring when the temps warm up. It usually occurs around Memorial Day, but this year it was like winter into mid-June, so the ants arrived at the end of June. Even though we spray for them, it takes a couple of weeks for all of them to die. They are annoying, but harmless to people.
This is the third time we've rented from Cascade Property Management, and while each experience has been great, this is our favorite cabin. It rained the entire time we were there, but it didn't matter! The grounds are green and beautiful, the deck on the creek amazing, the cabin comfortable and well-stocked, and the ambience romantic and refreshing. We will be back!
OUR STAY WAS WONDERFUL AND WE WILL BE BACK SOON
Great Cabin, I would recommend it to anyone. It is in a great location close to Welches, but far enough away that you cannot hear the road. The river is amazing to listen to at night. In terms of night life I would recommend Skyway. Happy seasons.
We were looking for a vacation spot near Mt. Hood, but away from the hotel/motel crowd. This place fits that description to the letter. The moondance cabin is close enough to Welches that you can pick up that bottle of wine you forgot (the grocery store has a great selection of everything) but far enough off of the beaten path that you won't hear any traffic at night. In fact, cracking the window allowed us to hear the creek and only the creek throughout the night. The cabin was comfortably furnished and offered great views of the back woods without feeling like you were looking into your neighbor's yard. The hot tub wasn't working for our first night but was fixed by noon the following day. It provided a great place to relax in seclusion.Overall, this rental is a hit. I'm sure we'll be returning soon.
We were surprised by the lack of towels for our stay and were glad there were only two of us. The coffee maker needs to be replaced, the toaster toasts, but leaves the bread cold, and the fireplace instructions were wrong. Those things didn't ruin our stay, but we will ask if the coffee maker and toaster have been replaced before we return. The surroundings were beautiful, and since it rained so much - it was November - we were very glad the hot tub was covered. We really appreciated the phone's free long distance, since our Verizon phones had no service there. The gas grill was nice, and the deck would be great to use when the weather was better. We had a wonderful time.
We are sorry to hear that you did not have enough towels. We provide 2 bath towels, a hand towel, a wash cloth and a hot tub towel for each guest. We do not offer daily housekeeping services unless you request them (additional fee), but the home does have a washer and dryer. If you did not have that level of bath linens upon arrival, we would have been happy to deliver more. We will take a look at the toaster, coffee maker and fireplace instructions. Thanks for the head's up.
Our only complaint was several carpenter ants, the water was gross to drink, but that could be just how the water tastes on Mt Hood. And the showers are very small and the heads are very low on the wall, so you have to duck to rinse your hair. Even my wife at 5'4". Other wise it was great! Warm, comfortable, great scenery and atmosphere. Loved the Hot tub! It felt great! We would love to stay there again some time.
The carpenter ants come out every spring for about 2 weeks. The time frame is different every due to weather. They have moved on already. The water at Moondance Cabin is safe, it just has lots of minerals in it which gives it that flavor.
We had a tough start - things out like matches and firestarters, didn't discover (matches) until office was closed so we bought our own. After that things went well and Clay was really great.
Very nice to have a kitchen and grill, we enjoy cooking our own food and the deck was a great place to do projects and eat with family. We enjoyed our stay, loved the guest diary and reading other guests comments.
Description stated that the place is secluded but it is not true, another house is across the river and if we were able to see him moaning loan and walking around, he definitely was able to see us. Manager was not helpful with “specials” listed on the site and we definitely overpaid for our stay.
We apologize for not noticing the brown roof and partial view of the deck of the cabin through the evergreen trees downstream and across the stream about 100 yards. Those features of the home are barely noticeable, so none of us had seen them until you brought it to our attention. Unfortunately, we cannot control the neighbors mowing their lawn. Hopefully, they were not mowing for very long. We offer specific specials for AAA, AARP & military and occassionally we offer specials on specific homes or during our queit season. Your stay during the summer did not qualify for any of the specials.
The location was great along side the river. Nice deck. Could have used a TV in the master beedroom. We now have a dog and this property is not Pet friendly so we'll not be staying here again.
We generally rent properties that are secluded. On this particular trip we rented a secluded home that had a sewer problem so we were moved to Moondance Cabin, which was on a busy road, LoLo Pass.
