About this property

Belknap House on the McKenzie River

  • The base rate gives you the downstairs master bedroom with King bed, plus the upstairs bedroom with queen and twin beds.
    This rate sleeps upto 4. Extra space and sleeping options available if you add guests through the booking process.
    Spacious Home on The Mckenzie River with access via the historic "Belknap Bridge" -- which is a covered bridge.
    This 2200 square foot beauty offers your group the space and amenities it deserves.
    The stated rate covers upto 4 total guests and gives you most of the house ( except for the office/gameroom amd third full bath) -- One king, a queen and a twin bed.
    Pay for one extra guest to open up the use of the office/gameroom, which includes our new queen size sofa sleeper and the third full bath. Now you can comfortably sleep upto 6.
    Pay for another extra guest to add two twin beds on the screened in porch. Now you're sleeping upto 8.
    Do not pay for more than 6 total people -- you'll be able to sleep 8 if you pay for 6.
    Ask Jonathan if you have any questions.
    There is a huge open flow great room that connects the Kitchen with the dining room along with the living room and wood-stove. Fantastic for multi-generational gatherings or your larger group.
    The master bedroom offers a private full bath and a king size bed. The large window looking out over the Mckenzie River keeps you connected with nature. The bathroom offers a full size tub and a separate shower.
    The bedroom upstairs offers two twin beds and another full bath. A great view of the river can also be enjoyed here, especially with the window cracked open for the sound of the rushing water below.
    The TV is a streaming TV and also has a DVD player.
    The large screened in porch has a dining table for 6 with a view of the river and offers another two day beds for those who would rather sleep "outside".
    There is a nice BBQ grill on the deck and the kitchen is fully ready for home-prepared meals, but the three local restaurants call out to you with their individually unique specialties.
    Tokatee Golf Course is just a few minutes close.
    Terwilliger (Cougar) Hot-Springs is within 15 minutes.
    The Three Sisters Wilderness Area access point is just about 15 minutes close.
    The Mckenzie River Trail with the Blue Pool and multiple water falls is within 20 minutes.
    White-water raft, Fish, Kayake, and enjoy this top rated natural environment snuggled up against the majestic cascade mountains in the Upper Mckenzie River Valley of Oregon.
    You are surrounded by the Willamette National Forest here, so look that up and prepare for your Great Oregon Adventure! Call or email Jonathan if you have any questions or need a reference.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
There were multiple inaccuracies in the listing and the customer service response from the host was very poor. She responded to a very valid complaint (we were upcharged to use a room advertised as containing two full sized futons that actually only contained a single pull-out couch and bedding for one person) by essentially telling me I was making up things to be upset about. The advertised fire pit has also been removed. I was able to get compensation from VRBO for the false advertising, but of course that meant I had to begin my vacation on the phone with customer service (after also emptying the full dishwasher, replacing trash can liners and empty toilet paper, and making beds). I did get a small apology after I let the host know we found an armed mouse trap next to the shelf of children's books in the game room. There were rat droppings in that room by the bay window, so I suppose it was necessary! The house is gorgeous, right beside the river. The kitchen is spacious and well supplied. There are smart features everywhere like labeled light switches and handrails in the master bath. The water pressure is great for showers, and check in was very easy, as was locating the property. The place is an absolute gem, and better communication and a more truthful listing would have made it a place we would gladly have returned to.

We absolutely loved the screened off patio so we could sit outside and continue enjoying the sounds of the river when the mosquitos would come out in the evening. We spent the majority of our time there or the deck. It was so beautiful and peaceful. We never used the TV but it was small so be aware of that if you want to use it.

We had a wonderful stay at the Belknap House. Everything is even more beautiful than the photos depict. The instructions were easy to follow and the owners were super responsive to any questions or minor issues that arose during our stay. I would highly recommend this property for a visit to McKenzie Bridge.

Lovely setting, well-equipped kitchen and living areas. We were very comfortable. Only a few minor recommendations: matches and paper for fire-starting in wood stove; Kleenex; more transparency about available sleeping areas - there were no mattresses on the sleeping porch beds. Otherwise it was perfect for our memorial gathering.

Memorial day weekend with friends at the Belknap House

We enjoyed our stay at the Belknap house. Jonathan was quick with answering all the questions we had before our trip, the house was clean, well maintained and is situated right on the river side with exceptional views. I would definitely like to come back and stay here again in the future.

Excellent stay!

We would’ve loved to have the hot tub available. It overlooks the river in such a neat setting and every time we looked out tear the back deck, the hot tube was a constant reminder. We also wish there was a bathroom to use without invading someone’s bedroom.

Lovely home, beautiful setting

This is a great home for enjoying the river and for access to the McKenzie Forest. I would highly recommend springing the extra cash for washer/dryer use, which also grants access to the very nice screened porch with its table and two twin beds. Also, you may consider bringing house slippers or some socks, as the owners do not want shoes worn in the house. Overall, a great stay and would definitely return.

Very comfortable home right on the lovely waters of the Mackenzie River. Everything was as advertised or better. Comfortable beds, livingroom chairs, and well equipped kitchen which sometimes presented a "can you find me" challenge!" Both open deck and screened porch were great options to enjoy the river while reading, chatting, or playing a board game. Great active outdoor options too (e.g., hiking) nearby (be sure to hike the falls portion of the Mackenzie River Trail, about 30 minutes away). Very responsive home manager too. The only thing that was not 5-stars was the internet, which was sometimes slow and sometimes dropped the server, but that may be more related to the provider than the home owner.
view of a covered bridge viewable from the deck of the house.
