Sweet Cabin

The cabin was in the perfect spot. It was close to the trails and to town. It was very clean and nicely appointed as well.

Great location but cabin is in need of some TLC

"Gretel" was our family basecamp for 8 nights while our teens attended a Ski Camp at Timberline/ Mount Hood, 15 min away. Great location! Property is managed by International Vacation Rental Company, Vacasa, whose agents are professional & friendly on the phone. However, they appear to have challenges getting maintenance & cleaning staff to this location as evidenced from condition of unit upon arrival, rectifying on site issues during our stay & hiring incentives posted in the Govy local paper. The cabin has great bones, and lovely thought out family-friendly decor. With some TLC - a deep clean, fridge & tap repairs, the cabin would be show ready. Note: There is no dishwasher. While this adds to the rustic feel of the cabin, dirty dishes, cutlery, pots, cupboards, etc. tarnish the overall impression of this location.

What a cute little cottage! Totally adorable! Perfect for a couple with young children who like to climb up to the loft. We had 5 TALL adults in our party, so maneuvering around was a bit tight. Kept bumping head in the basement bedroom. Raised toilet (on a platform) and shower made for really low ceiling in the bathroom. A bit ackward.

Great location, but not fully cleaned inside.

The stove and some dishes were still dirty. We found a used pan with spatula in the oven. Used water bottle up stairs, the upstairs door wouldn't fully close. Great & amazing location, love the snow covered area, didn't leave and axe for the wood they provided but that's nothing to bad. Stairs to the too floor could use a rail. Kids going up and down was a little sketchy. All in all, nice place. But could use some fixing here and there. I tried to contact the folks about the non cleanliness, but they haven't gotten back to me.
