The property was easy to get to and well equipped. We enjoyed how quaint and cozy the house was. The view was very beautiful, often we would either be on the back deck or inside with the door open with the screen. We could easily see staying there again.

We checked in and left the house within the hour. Luckily, we found a nearby Best Western hotel for one night and a Best Western hotel in Sandy the other night because a family canceled their hotel reservation last minute. We walked in and the house had a funky, old smell. The a/c was not on and it was 90 degrees. The fans were running but not adequately. There was an antiquated cool air mister in the dining room that was supposed to cool the living space, but it didn’t work and wouldn’t cool the whole house anyway, especially the bedrooms and bathrooms. We opened the sliding door to help ventilate but the bugs were getting in the house through the screen door. We were sitting at the dining room table and getting bit by gnats, mosquitoes, etc. If we wanted to get eaten by bugs or sit in a muggy, smelly space we would have camped for a much cheaper price. For reference, earlier on our vacation we stayed in a glamping tent and treehouse. Both locations had better ventilation, no bugs, and no stale smells. We can handle rustic and older places but not for the price they charged. When I contacted the host they said this was a first for them. Well, it’s a first for me too. I’ve never not stayed at a booked reservation. We aren’t sure if we’ll get reimbursed but we didn’t feel comfortable sleeping at this home. We had an added expense paying for the hotel 2 nights.

The Rauch cabin was a very peaceful place to stay during our visit from California. Everything was easy and seamless, from booking to directions. The kitchen was well stocked and labeled and the deck was the perfect place to enjoy coffee in the morning.

If you like Amazing views, this place is for you.
This house has it all. From the deck that overlooks the Salem River, to every utensil you could need for cooking, and they even put glasses in the freezer, which made for a very nice cold drink. There was even a hammock stand, with the hammock in the garage for use. We unfortunately didn't utilize this trip, but maybe next time. Love this place.

We enjoyed our stay here. It was pouring rain most of the time, so the wood stove was greatly appreciated and made the living space very cozy. This property was clean and well kept. The communication with the owner was very good. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing getaway
It was exactly what we were looking for. A little getaway from the city and a nice time to unwind. The cabin was as advertised, it was fully stocked with everything that you may need and close enough to stores in case you needed some last minute food items. The owners make sure you know exactly what to do, and where everything is at. We completely enjoyed our stay. Thank you for offering your home to rent.

Some places are houses, the Rauch cabin is a home, the feel of a home. Being on the Salmon river is neat, but special so this time of year with the fish moving upstream.

Great family vacation spot
We had a great time, house had everything we needed. Close to amenities, grocery store and restaurants. Beautiful country, close to water falls, hiking trails, river, fishing, golf. We went up to Mt Hood’s Timberline Lodge and Government Camp.
In the evening we enjoyed the back deck overlooking the river, grilled out and watched the salmon swim up the river. We had a great family vacation.

Welches Riverfront property
The house was super cute and very clean. The back patio overlooked the river which was amazing! My only thought would be, it was extremely hot when we were there. I wish they would have maybe a couple of window A/C’s that we could have used. It’s not a complaint, just a suggestion as going forward. Other than that, perfection!
