RiverPeace on the McKenzie

Find your Peace at "RiverPeace" on the Mckenzie.
Escape from your everyday worries to this Mckenzie River paradise! This beautifully updated classic cabin offers a brand new deck just 15 feet above the rushing glacier fed waters of the pristine Mckenzie River. Relax on the deck or inside the screened in covered porch with the same view up and down the river.
Inside, you'll find exactly what you're looking for -- as this cabin offers a vintage feel with a modern twist.
Most of the cabin is adorned with wonderfully crafted natural wood paneling and carpeted. The kitchen is completely modern, new and fully equipped.
The beds are comfortable and the bedding is all new.
There is a private master bedroom with a queen bed, another large separate bedroom with queen and a new futon, and still another queen size sofa sleeper sits in the living room.
The large extra bedroom offers a Roku streaming TV, so bring your log in info with you for any of the streaming services you enjoy. The large living room offers cozy furniture in a classic "woodsy" atmosphere. There are several games available and a large coffee table too.
The kitchen has a dining table with seating for 4 and the outdoor table can seat many more.
The screened in, covered porch will probably become your favorite place as you watch the river flowing by and your concerns of the day fade away.
Enjoy 100 feet of river frontage and one of the best views on the river.
In the rainy season months, there's a fire pit to enjoy.
We are located in the preferred area, far from the highway and its all river sound -- nothing else.
We're also on the edge of the Willamette National Forest and The Three Sisters Wilderness area.
Terwilliger (Cougar) Hot Springs is just 15 minutes close.
Deer Creek Hot Springs is just 10 minutes close.
Belknap Hot Springs is just 8 minutes close.
Tokatee Golf Course is within just a few miles away and is one of the highest regarded public courses in the country.
The steelhead and salmon runs are real. The trout are huge too. Get a guide or ask Jonathan where to fish from the shore.
There are more hiking trails than you can possibly hike, including the famous "Mckenzie River Trail" -- extending over 30 miles from Mckenzie Bridge (just 3 miles) to Fish Lake.
Make sure you see Sahalie Falls, Koosah Falls, and Tamolitch Falls (The Blue Pool) -- all just 20 minutes from the cabin.
Cougar and Blue River Reservoirs are located with 15 minutes of the cabin.
Make sure you see the lava flows of the Old Pass 242 in the summer months. Look up Dee Wright Observatory.
There are three wonderful restaurants within 3 miles and a great little store with gas and diesel available too.
The Mckenzie General Store and Obsidian Grill offer live music twice a week in the summer months and every so often in the off season. -- check them out for sure!
Hoodoo Ski Bowl is just 45 minutes east for great winter time snow activities like skiing (both cross country and downhill), snowboarding, and sledding. Hoodoo even offers night sking with fully lit runs. Snow mobiling on endless logging roads is another fun winter activity we enjoy.
This cabin and it's intimate riverside experience may be exactly all you want -- even though there's plenty to do -- that's why we know you'll be back many times.
Jonathan and Lisa live in the area and are available for any other questions you have, including suggestions for adventures and dining.

Great honeymoon cabin get away!

It was exactly as described by the owner. Neat and clean. Check in process was easy. Since the deck was right by the McKenzie River it was nice. And the screened in back porch was a great place to eat, enjoy the cool breeze off the river and the sound of the water. We greatly enjoyed our stay there.

Fun, rustic fishing cabin right on a whitewater section of the beautiful McKenzie river. Terrific location for exploring the many hiking trails. Wish we could have stayed longer, it’s a magical place to leave your cares behind and relax.

River Peace Cabin

As usual, Jonathan & Lisa, from whom I have rented several times in the past, hosted a very beautiful cabin. Located right alongside the McKenzie River, the cabin was well stocked (but needs wine glasses) and, unlike many places, was exceptionally well lighted in all areas (greatly appreciated). The master bedroom was as large as most motel rooms with a very comfortable bed. I am sure I will try to rent this cabin again in the future.

Would definitely book again so cozy!!

such a cozy home with amazing views our group of four had a lovely time and were able to cook and clean around the house easily! the river is way too dangerous to get in but there were many accessible places to swim nearby the only problem we had was little grilling tools and most of the lights were bright blue white lights and the coziness is sorta taken away with corporate lighting but the few lamps with soft lighting made the place so nice and cozy at night!! I would definitely come back to this place in the future!!

quick getaway

We booked the cabin at the last minute, and then needed to adjust the reservation by a day; the owner was very accommodating. The front bedroom seemed cold until we realized it has its' own heating unit. Everything was comfortable and clean. We intended to hike fire roads, but many were still snowed in- fortunately Terwilliger Hot springs was open. I would definitely consider booking this place again.

Absolutely Wonderful

The cabin is excellent-extremely clean and comfortable. Beautiful woodwork and historic touches. Beds are very comfortable and linens are good quality. The hosts are very responsive and professional. The location is great, close golf, hikes, to a couple restaurants and general store that has pretty much what you need. But honestly you won't want to leave the deck! There is a covered screened in porch so that you can enjoy the amazing river views even if its raining. I would suggest throwing some basic spices in if you plan on cooking. The kitchen is very well appointed and the grill works great, but if you were to cook the spice cabinet is limited.

Peaceful, Rustic and Rejuvenating

My family and I came here to celebrate my husband's birthday. It was perfect for the four of us! The cabin was clean and cozy. As one review noted, this cabin in RUSTIC. It's not all shiny and modern like other properties, but you can tell it was built with and quality materials and detail. I always expect a musty odor with older homes, but this place smelled good. The kitchen and dining area is pretty small, so the limit of 4 people is right on target. Our favorite things about this property are: -The screened in porch. I spent most of my time snuggled up in a warm blanket watching the river flow by. The lounger is really comfortable. -The view! -Privacy. There are neighbors on both sides and across the river, but you are somewhat hidden in the trees so it felt very private, especially in the screen porch. It's also set back from the road which is nice. -The bedding is amazing! -The livingroom furniture is comfy. We spent a lot of time playing games on the large expandable coffee table. -The fire pit! Who doesn't love a warm campfire? -It's close to a little general store and gas station, handy for grabbing those forgotten items. A couple drawbacks: -If you want to cook, I would suggest bringing all the items you will need for what you are making. There are limited cooking utensils ( we needed a whisk), and no baking dishes. We brought some disposable containers so it worked out well. Also, the oven seems to run a little under temperature. -There was no bodywash in the bathroom, and I forgot to bring any. We wound up using hand soap. -The dishwasher is tiny! With a family of 4 eating 3 meals and some snacking, we ran the dishwasher 3 times on the full day we were there. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property for a couple or small family wanting a peaceful getaway!
