Salmon river house

The view of the river was breathtaking. The house is fully stocked and every game and puzzle is available. We were happy to see out the kitchen window, a deer!

Our favorite nature retreat

Our second stay here was just as impressive as our first! We especially loved the nature display of salmon jumping and sunlight on the river, enjoyed from the deck all day long. Thank you to the wonderful hosts!

Great way to unplug and relax

We had a great time. Really enjoyed having a fire in the woodstove and the sound and view of the river were so calming. Was a wonderful stay, will keep this home in mind for the future for sure.

Great stay

The place worked very well for us with lovely green trees all around and great deck overlooking river. Beds were excellent; I wish I knew who made them. Would happily stay again. Mt Hood was lovely but overly crowded at this time of year. Everybody wants to be in this beautiful area.

Home Stay

Some places are houses, the Rauch cabin is a home, the feel of a home. Being on the Salmon river is neat, but special so this time of year with the fish moving upstream. Highly recommend. Thank you to the Rauch family

AMAZING STAY!

Our family had a wonderful time together at this amazing cabin! It had everything we needed and then some! We were able to cook many meals with everything provided and many stores minutes away! We even got some snowfall and went tubing up at the mountain which was really close too!! Getting up in the morning and having a cup of coffee on the lanai with a breathtaking view of the river was the best!! Such a peaceful place that we hope to be able to return to!

Loved It

We greatly enjoyed our brief stay here. The house is right on the Salmon River, which we had a full view of from the deck in the back of the house. If you're looking for a peaceful stay close to nature but not at all primitive, this place is great. The house is equipped with everything you need, and then some - we lacked for nothing. The furniture and beds are comfortable, and the entire house was neat as a pin. We hope to spend time here again someday.

So relaxing

I took my daughter and her best friend for a girls weekend and we had such a relaxing and restorative time. The home was comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, and the host communicative and gracious. It was a wonderful weekend of hiking, reading, playing games, and dining on the patio. A beautiful and convenient location. It will definitely be on my return list. Thank you!

We checked in and left the house within the hour. Luckily, we found a nearby Best Western hotel for one night and a Best Western hotel in Sandy the other night because a family canceled their hotel reservation last minute. We walked in and the house had a funky, old smell. The a/c was not on and it was 90 degrees. The fans were running but not adequately. There was an antiquated cool air mister in the dining room that was supposed to cool the living space, but it didn’t work and wouldn’t cool the whole house anyway, especially the bedrooms and bathrooms. We opened the sliding door to help ventilate but the bugs were getting in the house through the screen door. We were sitting at the dining room table and getting bit by gnats, mosquitoes, etc. If we wanted to get eaten by bugs or sit in a muggy, smelly space we would have camped for a much cheaper price. For reference, earlier on our vacation we stayed in a glamping tent and treehouse. Both locations had better ventilation, no bugs, and no stale smells. We can handle rustic and older places but not for the price they charged. When I contacted the host they said this was a first for them. Well, it’s a first for me too. I’ve never not stayed at a booked reservation. We aren’t sure if we’ll get reimbursed but we didn’t feel comfortable sleeping at this home. We had an added expense paying for the hotel 2 nights.

Family getaway

The Rauch cabin was a very peaceful place to stay during our visit from California. Everything was easy and seamless, from booking to directions. The kitchen was well stocked and labeled and the deck was the perfect place to enjoy coffee in the morning.

If you like Amazing views, this place is for you.

This house has it all. From the deck that overlooks the Salem River, to every utensil you could need for cooking, and they even put glasses in the freezer, which made for a very nice cold drink. There was even a hammock stand, with the hammock in the garage for use. We unfortunately didn't utilize this trip, but maybe next time. Love this place.

We enjoyed our stay here. It was pouring rain most of the time, so the wood stove was greatly appreciated and made the living space very cozy. This property was clean and well kept. The communication with the owner was very good. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing getaway

It was exactly what we were looking for. A little getaway from the city and a nice time to unwind. The cabin was as advertised, it was fully stocked with everything that you may need and close enough to stores in case you needed some last minute food items. The owners make sure you know exactly what to do, and where everything is at. We completely enjoyed our stay. Thank you for offering your home to rent.

Great family vacation spot

We had a great time, house had everything we needed. Close to amenities, grocery store and restaurants. Beautiful country, close to water falls, hiking trails, river, fishing, golf. We went up to Mt Hood’s Timberline Lodge and Government Camp. In the evening we enjoyed the back deck overlooking the river, grilled out and watched the salmon swim up the river. We had a great family vacation.
