My wife and I had an incredible time at the Big Buck Lodge. The house is beautiful and the property it's on is gorgeous. The house was clean and stocked with most of the essentials. Being close to the Sandy river with pretty trails through the forest made the spot even better than we could have imagined. We would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat. While I'm giving the house and our stay a five star review, here are the only things we didn’t like: - There was no foil, but there was parchment paper? - There was no olive oil, spray-oil, butter, or other common cooking staples - The plastic wrap was so cheap it melted in the microwave (possibly due to the issue I mention below) - The plates are cheap and are thick ceramic that heat to extreme temperatures in the microwave while your food remains luke-warm - The pans were small and in awful shape, and the knives were dull - There was no clear instruction for how to properly use the dishwasher or washing mashine, but the checkout instructions ask you to load and run both - The ping pong table needs to be replaced - Overall the house-specfic details and instructions were lacking in the guest book If we come back again, we'd bring more of our own essentials to have an absolutely perfect stay.

The place was beautiful and we would definitely stay there again. Only things keeping it from being 100% perfect were: the microwave doesn't work, the dryer is dying and extremely loud, all of the hand-soaps were empty with no refill soap available, the coffee maker had no filters that fit, there was no laundry soap and the soap for the dishwasher they left a note saying do not use, and there was no outdoor seating to enjoy the patio and view. I think all of those things were the responsibility of the rental facility and not the owners. When we reached out, they responded promptly and tried to help but misunderstood the needs of the house. All in all, it was still a spectacular place to stay, very clean, and we had a fabulous time! My family and I would like to thank the owners for sharing their home with us and for the memorable weekend!

No question 5 STARS

We had the BEST time! We had age ranges from 45 to 5 years old and everybody loved every second. The kitchen was fully equipped for breakfast lunch and dinner. Oh wait there’s also an awesome covered outdoor fire place and a hot tub plus acres of exploring. We will be back 100% thank you!

Felt the Magic!

The home, property, and environs exceeded expectations. We met up from across the country for a mini-family reunion, and the stay checked every box we’d anticipated and some unexpected, magical ones as well. There’s nothing like witnessing spring unfolding in the Mt. Hood area, and this place helped us make lasting memories close the heart of each generation present. Thank you for the thoughtful details throughout and for letting us share this beautiful place!

Winter Wonderland

We really enjoyed our stay at Big Buck Lodge. This is the prefect place for a weekend getaway where you have plenty of space on a beautfiul property. The house was clean and the accomodations were nice making the weekend very enjoyable. I would recommend a stay here for a ski weekend or in the summer a place to get out and explore Mt. Hood which is right in your backyard.It seems like there is so much to do in this area and it is nice to have a lodge like this as your homebase surrounded by the mountains, nearby river and woods. Also, very quiet area so a great place to getaway and relax. We will definitely be heading back the next time we are looking for a long weekend stay in this area.

Wonderful place all around. Well cared for and excellent service from management company. The stereo that is listed is not accessible so recommend bringing a bluetooth speaker or check with management. They ended up driving out a couple small bluetooth speakers to make it right.

Beautiful Cabin Found Lacking

We searched a LONG time for the right place for our anniversary trip to the Mt Hood area. We loved the way the house looked online, and we were excited to experience it. From the check in day onward though, it just wasn't what we expected for the cost. The keys weren't left as we were told they would be. When we left messages hoping to hear back immediately, it took over an hour and a half to hear anything. We had gone to get dinner 5 minutes away, and had HOPED the company would bring us the keys. Instead, we had to backtrack to get them after dinner. We arrived to house, and the gate wasn't open. We had to climb around gate to get into house to use WiFi to call (as there was no cell service). At first, we thought we had wrong keys, as the keys didn't work at front door. Wish there had been explanation keys are for garage door, not front door. Someone did come open gate, which was appreciated. FYI - fan in master bedroom grinds when on and is useless (we are fan people so disappointed there too!). I think this place could have been so much better if it had felt like it was WORTH the added cost I spent. In future, I will question the need to spend more when it didn't get us anything but frustration.
