Good, spacious cabin option
Overall, this was a good place for a reasonable price. It was a bit tough as the second bathroom only has a bath and not a shower; also, could likely use some updated and newer rugs throughout to give an overall cleaner feel. If you are looking for a good value in a good location, this cabin does the job!

5 nights in paradise
The cabin far exceeded our expectations. Temperatures were above 90 during our stay, and the cabin stayed comfortable. We appreciated the screens on all the windows to air things out at night. The sandy beach by the river was perfect spot to cool our feet during the heat of the day. The deck was lovely and the hot tub was so clean we even used it! (both of us are very picky in this aspect). Kitchen & bathroom are both well appointed & bed was comfortable. We did find the door combination lock more challenging than expected. If you are eager for a bathroom upon arrival I suggest stopping at the coffee shop for a drink & facilities on your way in. Much easier to figure out how to open the door when not rushed. We liked it so much we extended an additional night & plan to return.

This cabin was the most charming cabin feel I've ever stayed in. The stream running of the back deck and the hot tub right there on the deck too made it sweet. Even inside with a roaring fire with the view of the stream constantly running is awesome. Fully functional and clean.

Great place to relax
Once again we enjoyed staying here at Papa Bears cabin. It’s such a cute and cozy cabin. Even though it was chilly when we arrived, once we got the fire going in the fireplace, it got toasty warm. It seems like there was some updating to the kitchen since the last time we were there, and it was very nice to cook in. Even though it was chilly and rainy outside, I still loved listening to the river and birds in the morning, while having my coffee. The beds were comfy, we all slept very well. Even our dog liked the cabin, she was so happy and relaxed there. We can’t wait to come stay here again.

Nice cabin
Nice cabin. Definitely has the vibe I look for when I stay in the area. Hot tub is big and it's lovely to soak while listening to the river. It's easy to get to. Only the very last section is not paved and has massive pot holes, but it's not a long stretch. It was good for two people. It's plenty of space, and there's plenty of room for dining, but I personally would prefer more comfy seating in the living room- there's plenty of space for it. If you had enough people to fill all the beds (7) there's not actually that many seats in the living room. Wifi was good; we could stream entertainment no problem. I recommend bringing some things to grill- it's a really nice grill! We realized we were missing dishwasher detergent but let them know and they brought some for us. Be warned: Charlie Harper puzzle is missing two pieces. Bring some kindling and a good fire starter, paper, etc. There's plenty of firewood, and it's under cover and dry to the touch, but it was definitely wet (heavy and steamed as it heated) and it was really hard to get the fire going. We went to get wood at the store and it was actually just as wet, maybe more so, so it's not really their fault. Seems like that's just what was available in the area. But a fire is a must for us so we kept at it! We only had one car so it was fine, but I'm not sure where you would fit a second one. It would be tight. No chance of more than 2 cars.

Beautiful cabin stay!
Pros: Location, supply of firewood, check-in process. Cons: House could use a cleaning, poor wi-fi signal I loved the location and property! The only things I feel were lacking was the cleanliness of the house and the reliability of the wi-fi. To feel the heat, you have to crank the thermostat all the way up and use space heaters in the bedrooms and bathrooms. But once it’s warm, it stays warm. As for the wifi — I am sure it’s difficult to get service in an area in the woods, so I’m not sure if I can dock the property for the reliability of the network. I had 0 cell signal unless I was in town, so I depended on the wifi to look up trails, things to do, general information, etc. Overall, the location made up for the shortcomings, and for the price, I can’t complain.

Great Weekend Get Away, however the managment was not understanding!
The place was great,. however we were disappinted with the management / owners. The family came down with Covid the week before the trip. We asked to reschedule and even though later days were available they were not flexible. We still ended up going but a couple of us were sick. It was a beautiful place for a restful weekend and we did enjoy ourselves.

Papa Bear Stay
Beautiful riverside view. Spacious, comfortable. Rural area cabin surrounded by rural home owners and private property so unable to explore. Difficult to find, especially at night. Location of entryway key unclear. Bathroom only had space heater but no outlet to plug in to. No hot water the first day and no water at all the second day-lost a day skiing. Management was responsive, however; this event cut into our vacation time. The rental cost was double the advertised rate due to the added fees. Fireplace with wood was lovely. Neighbors were helpful. Roads are in bad shape so travel time was excessive.

Beautiful location and magic property
The cabin setting on the river was magic. The beds comfortable. The amenities very nice. The property management company leaves something to be desired, they are a national company with thousands of listings, and very little human personal touch/property monitoring. All messages you get from them are template, or automatic texts, if you need a human to help good luck. They do not meet you at the property it is self check in and check out, and if there is a problem same day service isn't going to happen. I reported a couple items that required maintenance and the guy called me after we checked out about the problems. We would gladly stay in this property again, but if I was the owner I would discontinue VACASA management of their property.

Cute and cozy cabin
We really liked this cabin. We loved sitting on the deck drinking our coffee in the morning right next to the river. The BBQ was great, and the hot tub was really nice and was big enough for our whole family to sit in. We also liked using the fireplace in the evening, it really warmed up the place. I’m so glad it was daylight when we arrived because we got lost at first trying to find the place, but once we found it then we were good. We really had such a nice time.

Wonderful location, lovely home
The location was wonderful, adjacent to the Salmon River, and with easy access to Mount Hood and other nearby attractions. Nothing better than hearing the sound of the river. Hot tub was clean and worked great, and house was in good shape. Washer-dryer and grill worked well, and the house was otherwise well-appointed. SUPER-fast internet, too, better than what we have at home. On the negative side, the downstairs (main) bedroom bed sagged badly in the middle, and needs to be replaced, and the cleaning crew could have done a better job, but these are far outweighed by the positive. Would absolutely stay again.

Good location close to Mt Hood Resorts, but home fell short on expectations
Pros: Location, warm water, working appliances, clean kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and Pet Friendly. Cons: Hot tub was filthy (water smelled, slime, green and when jets were run it circulated green dirty water) and unusable. HEAT - fireplace was awesome, but the provided wood was wet. We had to purchase our own for an additional $40. There is one other propane heater and another wall unit downstairs. Other than that, the portable heaters helped keep the place warm. Overall the place was dusty/dirty. It is in the woods, but if I was paying a management company I'd hope they dusted as outside of basics the home was dirty. The place was very difficult to find as the signs weren't marked for night entry. It took us more than 30 minutes to find the left fork needed to get down to the river cabin. It would be nice to have a brief description on how to find the home sent along with access information. We will not recommend or will not stay here again at the current price-point.

Papa Bear Cabin stay
My friends, husband and I enjoyed our stay at Papa Bear Cabin. The main room was cozy with a nice fireplace and plenty of wood; the kitchen was well stocked; and the beds and bathrooms were comfortable. (I must say that I would lose the slippery rugs.) The raging river just outside made it very nice as well, although I can imagine after a spring thaw, it might be a bit scary. Overall, a good experience!
