"UpRiver Nest" - Cabin on the Mckenzie River in Oregon

10/10 Excellent
"Nothing beats being in the woods on a river for relaxation. The cabin is right on the river with a wonderful high perch above to look down on the beauty, Clean, well kept and equipped with everything a couple needs to feel safe and secure. A little road noise at peak times can find it's way through but you quickly forget about it as the sound of the river easily covers it up."

"Cabin is cozy. Loved the fireplace and front porch - you can hear the river if the windows/doors are open. Walking to the pub /market for dinner and live music was amazing. There isn’t really any access from this cabin to hang out by the river. Very basic stock of blanket and towels - plan accordingly. Master bed is pretty old / stiff / uncomfortable."
