With a serene location on the banks of Clear Creek and two-story windows that frame the river and the surrounding woodlands, Rustling Waters Getaway will help you relax, unwind, and truly get away from it all. This beautiful Mt. Hood A-frame house features a light-filled interior with vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, a large stone fireplace with a wood-burning insert, and stunning outdoor features that include a private hot tub, a wrap-around deck, a firepit, and a wood swing down by the creek. A riverfront retreat at Rustling Waters is a vacation you'll remember for a lifetime.

The small towns of Welches and Rhododendron are both three miles away, providing you with several fun restaurants and shops to enjoy. You'll be two miles from the ever-popular Skyway Bar & Grill in Zigzag, and close to the lovely trails in the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness. Charming Government Camp is a 12-mile drive from home, and Mt. Hood Skibowl (12 miles), Timberline Lodge (19 miles), and Mt. Hood Meadows (23 miles) are wonderful spots for all sorts of wintertime thrills.

Okay Stay

This property is gorgeous and the house was really nice. We only got to enjoy the huge outside property for one day though. The house next door appears to be unoccupied and the alarm was going off for over 24 hours on the second day. We reported the alarm to multiple sources and it was never addressed. This prevented us from enjoying any of the outside amenities and that was the whole reason we booked this home. It’s important to note that this home is hosted by Vacasa, a detail I missed when booking. I have had only bad experiences with Vacasa in the past and have made it a point to avoid booking with them. This experience was another miss on their part and a further testament to not wanting to book with them. The house was great, the experience was poor.

Property not kept up

The stay overall was relaxing, and we had a good time. However, the house/property needs some work. The wooden swing pictured next to the creek was broken, all the screen doors are falling off the tracks and very difficult to open and close, and the house itself poses a fire hazard due to gutters packed with debris and debris all over the roof. The box of hot tub cleaner that was supposed to be used after every use was empty. You could tell that the property is being used as a rental. The setting is amazing, though, and the stay overall was good.

Picturesque & Cozy

My partner and I had a great stay here. It snowed the first day and the view through the large windows was stunning! Loved being able to build a fire, though there were no instructions on how to use the flue or fan, which would've been nice. A welcome binder with all the details including hot tub instructions would be helpful, since cell reception is non-existent here. Wifi worked great though! The space was tidy, but felt like it had been awhile since it had been cleaned - we found cobwebs, and a giant dead spider and debris in the shower. The bed was moderately comfortable, but I recommend bringing your own pillows - the ones provided were lumpy and hard. Kitchen was well stocked, but could use some normal sized spoons - they were all large. Found some DVDs in the upstairs closet, but no DVD player which was a bummer. Nice to have the smart tv option though! It was stormy our last night and we lost power early the next morning, and eventually lost all water pressure down to a tiny trickle, which was odd. All in all, the inconveniences were minimal, and the view, hot tub, and cozy living space with sunken fire pit are what make this a 5 star cabin. Would be fun to come back in the summer and sit down by the river!

Great place to stay, relax, and unwind.

My family and I have been coming to MT Hood for a few years now. This place was one of the best experiences we had. It was in a great location, very clean and maintained, and had a great backyard and stream in addition to the hot tub. I highly recommend this as a family friendly spot! We will definitely be back!

Sadly disappointed

The house was very clean and the overall appearance was exactly as it is portrayed online. Unfortunately upon arrival, the thermostat was "offline" so it was colder inside the house than it was outside and it was 52 degrees outdoors at this time. I had to place multiple calls for someone to come fix the heating issue. This also turned into the hot water going on and the circuit breakers continued to trip. This also affected the hot tub which did not get above 86 degrees until the day I left. This was planned as a family trip but due to the ongoing lack of warmth, my kids and husband did not come so I was alone and did not have a chance to enjoy the stay which was a let down. Quite honestly this felt like a lot of money essentially wasted and I definitely would not recommend this rental.

Heating issues

This is a great CABIN experience. We arrived to find it just as advertised and at 48 degrees. Hot tub was hot and very fun for the kids with cool lighting. Cozy carpet in bedrooms and pillows surrounding the fireplace. Leather couch was great for watching Netflix. After hot tub, 2 showers, and turning the thermostat to 70, the furnace went out. We did our best at troubleshooting. Electrical worked fine and we presumed the furnace. We survived the 23 degree night with space heaters - firewood was not provided. In the morning - no water. We were worried about a frozen pipe, several calls to vacasa and no actual help. We went skiing and returned to HVAC guy who could not find the furnace but brought us a log. Could not reach the owner. Hot tub cold. We had a breakthrough with another try at the breakers. Another flip of the switch and we had a nice warm night. Turns out there is probably a pump house/furnace that is finicky? This is an old cabin and needs some instructions to go with it. It was a bummer for our weekend to deal with a blown fuse that we couldn’t figure out despite best efforts. We hope to hear from vacasa. We would go here again. Bring firewood!

Woodsy get away

We enjoyed our weekend stay. The property is beautiful and feels private even though it is close to neighbors. The house had a bit of a musty smell and could really benefit from some better lighting. Our main disappointment was that the sleeping accommodations include beds in an open loft, which was not described in the listing. The listing makes it seem like there are beds for 5 people in the second bedroom so perhaps this should be updated so people understand the arrangements. The property could also benefit from better seating at the dining room table. The chairs are very large and so, even though the table is big, you can't fit seating for 6 around the table. The check out time is 10am. To me that is unreasonably early. The hot tub on the deck was really fantastic and the house is really well designed if you like listening to rain on the roof (it rained the whole time we were there, which we loved!). The conversation pit/fireplace are in the living rooms is a fun touch. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen, although very small, functions quite well.

Not clean, misrepresented

House was not clean, smelled musty, poop in toilet, dirty windows and very old cobwebs. Hot tub dangerously hot. Called vacasa, was told it was a known problem. Maintenance came late next day but still overheated that night. Dryer was broken. These Maintenance issues should have been disclosed Prior to our arrival. Very disappointed...

Fantastic Cabin

This cabin is cozy and tastefully decorated. The deck and property rolling down to the stream are lovely. Beds are comfy and water pressure is excellent. Kitchen is tight but manageable and cabin is dark, but when the leaves fall off trees it could be brighter. The tv and content were a pleasant surprise. Best we’ve had in a rental. Large collection of dvds also. Quiet and peaceful —- the rustling water cabin lives up to its name! Sitting by the stream was a highlight after our adventures each day. Our kids found salamanders, frogs and snakes. We would love to come back again!

Enjoyed the Stay - a few areas for improvement

Property was great - appreciated the location. Suggest you highlight there is a SMART TV in listing. House was very cozy and comfortable. Could use more kid cups/plates. The upstairs loft railing is pretty wide - young kids could fit through. Might consider updating the railing. WIFI was great and speedy. Hot Tub definitely had an off odor from either water or chemicals in tub- not very appealing. Biggest complaint of the experience was lack of personal touch with owner or management team. I attempted multiple times to ask questions surrounding the property and had no help. I was not impressed.

A great place for a retreat

What a fantastic spot for a refresh! It looks exactly like it did in the pictures, and I was especially impressed with the cleanliness factor. A great spot for solitude and reflection, quiet with just the sound of rustling trees or the nearby creek. Can't wait to visit again in the future!
