Rustic and cold
The cabin is in a nice location close to the river. It is rustic in every sense with wood paneling and uneven floors. Other reviews talk about how cold it is and we should have listened. It took a good 24 hours for the place to warm up. It never got warm enough not to wear a sweatshirt. They do not have wood for the fireplace. You can buy it at the Thriftway that is close by. It cost us an extra 75 dollars for wood to help heat the place. If renting this cabin in the winter bring wood with you to save money and be ready for a rustic adventure

We were pleased with the cabin but we could not figure out how to turn on the gas stove in the living room. The space heater were not adequate. Other than that we had a good time together.

Spider Infestation Led to Early Departure
We were informed we couldn’t check in on time one-hour prior to check in. Property was infested with spiders with cobwebs in every corner and windowsill. We left 2 1/2 days early and haven’t heard back from management about a refund. A horrible experience that ruined our family holiday. Both kids have spider bites that are swollen the size of a golf ball and painful. Undoubtedly the worst experience we’ve had.

Classic cabin, quite small, very old, nice location, easy checkout
We stayed here for a wedding with some other guests. It was smaller than expected but worked out fine. The two bedrooms downstairs are VERY small. Mattresses aren't great. The stairs are steep and very creaky. One of the guests had very slight mobility issues and said "I hate these stairs, man". With 4 adults, the thin walls were very apparent. The living room furniture is pretty old, and windows are difficult to open and don't have screens. I tried to open the one in the bedroom and stopped because I was afraid I would break it. Some of the house is in disrepair, but just cosmetic things. On the positive side, the location is nice. It's in a neighborhood of cabins like is typical of the area. The creek is very close and easy to get to, and there is a nice path that goes along it. A bar with BBQ and live music is walking distance. Just a 10 minute drive up to ski bowl and government camp. The kitchen is a good size and well stocked. We really appreciated the ease of check out. Just had to start the dishwasher, but nothing else was asked of us. Check out was at 10am, which is a little early, but I get it. Plenty of linens and towels. Overall, the cabin had the nice rustic feel I look for when I stay in the area. We didn't spend a ton of time there since we were at a wedding. It was a good place to crash. If I was looking for a place to get cozy and relax on snowy days, I would probably pick someplace a little more comfortable.

Home was great, but chilly
Hey there. The home was sweet and cabiny, which is just what we wanted. But it reeked of cigarettes. There were butts all over the front porch when we arrived. Handyperson Kristopher was very helpful, he was there fixing the shower when we arrived and he took the garbage away which was piled up behind the house. All the heaters worked but it took 24hrs to heat the building up we saw our breath inside the whole first night. Besides that we loved it. Though the wifi never worked. We disconnected it many times but it always said "connected, no internet". We checked out at 9:45 but with no wifi, I couldn't respond to the check-out email until 1 PM. Thanks!

Great cabin at the base of Mt Hood. Authentic hundred years old cabin. Live like a hundred years ago. Be sure to take wood in the cooler times. Plan for it before you go. But enjoy the primitive nature of the area.

Quirky charm on the mountain
We adore this cute little cabin in the woods. It is full of character and just what we wanted for a cozy family gathering. As other reviewers have said, it was chilly in there and it is very hard to warm the place up. We bought a lot of firewood and this did the job, but of course it took time and attention. There is also a propane heating stove but the fan on it didn’t seem to work so you had to be inches away from it to feel the warmth. There are some electric portable heaters but most were ineffective. We wished they would pare down the furniture in the dining/kitchen area to make it easier to move around the table when people are seated. My kids were disappointed that the board games were missing pieces and unusable. Despite these little issues we still loved the place and had a wonderful family time together. We will definitely return!

Quaint Cabin in the Woods
We enjoyed our stay at Old Smokey Cabin. The location was lovely and the cabin itself was cozy and charming. There were several maintenance issues that should have been taken care of before we arrived. The price per night that was listed turned out to be only half of what we paid after all the added fees. That is not honest advertising. We were glad to have the time at this cabin but for the cost and the maintenance issues we would not return.

Catfishing your Vrbo profile isn't any cooler than catfishing your dating profile
...People always notice when they get there that you misrepresented yourself, & it feels dishonest & disappointing. Using a wide angle lens & brightening the photos to make them look more appealing is just lame. The photos really make it look much nicer than it is. My partner & I lovvve romantic rustic cabins in the forest. We used to live in one near this area--This cabin is not one of those. Aesthetic is weak, cabin is SOOO DARK & cold, even in the middle of July. Much more like abandoned late grandma's cabin rather than romantic getaway. There are heaters, some of which work, some which don't. Not having hot water was an unwelcome surprise, especially in the cold cabin. They did call us after we left to ask if we had hot water, bc the people after us complained, but that didn't change the fact that our stay was cold & dark. We bought several hundred dollars worth of food at a co-op in Eugene before arriving, & then next morning found that the fridge was so cold that it had frozen & ruined most of our vegetables. Toilet was running the entire time we were there, at one point flooded the bathroom out of nowhere, when there was hardly anything in it. That was a disaster & oh so fun to deal with. Lied about laundry, says there's coin-op laundry on-site, which seemed strange for a cabin, but on our last night before continuing our travels & having lots of laundry to do, we couldn't find a washer/dryer anywhere. I searched on the app & found it said "laundry mat in Rhodadendron". So.. you don't have laundry. Just say you don't have laundry. Why be so misleading? The lockbox was quite difficult to open when we arrived. Couldn't figure out how to start the dishwasher that they asked us to start before leaving. Lids for pans & tupperware would be great, otherwise very well-stocked kitchen. Cabin 100% doesn't sleep 8 people. Beds to sleep 8 people, yes, but not the physical space. Bedrooms are tiny & claustrophobic, w/very little storage/walking space, table only seats 4-6, & there's only one very tiny bathroom. There were only 2 of us so it was fine, just another thing that felt like false advertising to get more sales. 6 is the absolute max you'd want here, even that would be tight.Surrounding area was beautiful, backyard was sweet. Overall incredibly overpriced & falsely advertised. Also please wait til last day rather than mid vacation to email us telling us our stay is almost over & how to help, felt like rude server rushing us out.

Musty Cabin with No Hot water
This is a really cute property and it could be great, but it needs a little TLC. When we walked in the door, the house smelled Musty and damp and the smell would not go away until you opened the windows for a while. Everytime we left and locked up, the smell came right back. We had no hot water the whole time we were there and the toilet backed up twice, Cold or Tepid showers are not really my thing. The property is gorgeous, but i am not sure that i would recommend this house. My parents stayed with us and they were really not happy. The property managers were always on top of everything, so that was good. I think I way overpaid for a house that smelled awful, had no hot water and in the 1st floor bedroom near the door, had spider webs and spiders behind the dresser. Disappointing.

Cute
The cabin was cute and although the two of us had plenty of room I don’t believe that eight people would be comfortable. There is only one bathroom and the shower ran lukewarm. If you need a hot shower like I do this is not the place. I called to report that the water to the shower was not hot and they left a message the next day saying that the faucets had hot water. That didn’t solve the problem. The small yard was pleasant. It was very quiet. The living room needed a deep cleaning but the rest of the rooms were clean and nice.

Cute little cabin. Hot water could be hotter and heaters just don’t heat adequately you do need to wear a sweater. Some previous renters left some big piles of dog feces in the yard. Shower a bit small if you are a bigger person could be challenging.

This cabin was so awesome! There is a closed backyard which was perfect for our dogs. There was chopped wood ready for use by the fireplace. There were plenty to dishware, cookware, bakeware, etc. The bedrooms were nice and toasty thanks to the heaters in the room. The main room has the aforementioned fireplace as well as another space heater and a gas fireplace. We will definitely stay here again!

Great little cabin, felt totally comfortable almost instantly.
Read the reviews before I arrived so I knew that the photos made it appear larger than in real life. There was plenty of tableware but I was happy that I brought my electric griddle and a few other items I knew I would need. The toaster doesn't work, so there were no bagels to be had but that's my only complaint besides having to come home.

Nice location ... small but worked
We had a group of 8 (adults & teens). It was smaller than I thought it would be, but everyone seemed good with it. It's in a beautiful area, with river walking distance, and close to activities. (Lost Lake, Hoid River, Government Camp, Adventure Park) The home is from the early 1900's. Could use little touches (new linens, kitchen towels, etc) but it worked for us.
