"Some non-slip material in the bathtub would be wise, as a fall during a shower can be very serious."

"Incredible stay! You will likely need 4WD or AWD to get up to the cabin -- the road is no joke! But the views are incredible and the cabin is cozy and wonderful. Highly recommend as long as you can get there!"

"House was nice and clean inside, some minor issues but nothing that diminished the visit. The outside property was a little cluttered and unkept but all in all not bad and the scenery was very cool. Daily wild animal sightings, deer, turkey and other misc birds, There was a spike along W/ a doe, and 2- 3 points grazing in the yard at one point."

"An absolute gem! Even better than the photos.We had an unforgettable week at this incredible home in Goldendale! Like many other guests have mentioned, the photos truly don’t do it justice. From the moment we arrived, we were positively surprised—you can feel the love and care put into every single detail. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything we could possibly need, including a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and wonderful living spaces.If you have kids, this place is total paradise. Our children were entertained all week long. They absolutely loved the custom-built sheriff’s playhouse (complete with dress-up clothes), the giant handmade wooden Yahtzee game, the playground, and the fun 3-hole putting green to practice golf. And, of course, the pool was fantastic!The natural surroundings are breathtaking. Every morning and evening, we were treated to deer strolling peacefully through the yard and wild turkeys wandering by. The views of Mt. Hood are stunning, and the night sky is unreal—which you can even watch while soaking in the hot tub.We would love to come back in a heartbeat and can’t recommend this home highly enough to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"

"Wow sums this up. What a fun property so many activities at the house - huge Frisbee golf course, ping pong, indoor hoop game, arcade, plenty of board games and several others. We had three parties staying at the home and everyone really loved the experience. Not to mention very clean, fragrance free environment, well stocked kitchen, plenty of indoor and outdoor cups and plates. The hosts were quick to respond to questions day before and day of arrival. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality and excellent property!"
