Magical cottage!
We had such a lovely time at this sweet cottage for Christmas! It is a magical setting and the sound of the river is so peaceful. The only reason that I’m not giving it 5 stars is that there is definitely a mouse issue in the bottom bedroom (to be expected in a location so rural) and the water ran out the morning of our departure. Otherwise it was really wonderful!

Stuga house
We loved this house and the area surrounding it. Beautiful scenery, the rush of the creek, warm fires in the fireplace and complete peacefulness. A great place to unwind and reset before getting back to the hussle and bustle of life. The only negative is there seems to be a critter living in the downstairs laundry closet that likes to come out and play at night, but I guess that is to be expected being out in the wilderness. It just make sleeping a little difficult hearing something running around in the dark.

Beautiful house and great location.
Location and house was great. Loved the home decor all the little details and the property was so beautiful, relaxing and enchanting. Loved hearing the creek. The property was very overgrown on walking paths and stairs. We had our 3 month old so made it hard to see the stairs or path with all the over growth. Huge fire ants on the porch that bit us. So couldn't really sit out on the porch with the baby. My husband killed about 6 huge carpenter ants inside the house. So couldn't put my baby on his playmat on the floor at all due to ants. Was also few fire ants in our upstairs room.

Beautiful but waterless
It was an absolute dream to walk into this property and watch my kids play and pretend to be fairies. Waking up to the window cracked and the sound of the River coming in was something I never knew I needed. With all the beauty however we ended up with no water. Now it says the well is low but we stayed 5 days and we’re only with water one of those 😅 we each got one shower and then we couldn’t even get a drop out of the faucet the rest of the days. The power had gone out too for the whole town but that’s out of the owners control but just be noted that when it does happen the whole town closes so you better be prepared and have firewood already. As I said the property itself is like out of a dream but I never heard back from the owner after reaching out to let them know we didn’t have water and when your already cut off from the rest of the world it gets pretty frustrating not getting a response. Would I stay again? Absolutely but the water issue needs to be fixed and communication. Also the housekeeper was rather rude when we informed her about the water situation like it was our fault somehow and we were squatting or something even though I paid over 1000$ To stay here and drive across the country 😅

Absolutely wonderful
No really, this place will fill you with wonder. It takes a special place to evoke that in adults, and this is one of them. My partner and I *loved* our stay at the Stuga. The fun little details inside and out were delightful. The home is so cozy (once you’ve got a fire going), very romantic, and a wonderful place to (re)connect with yourself or the best person/people in your life. The Stuga is beautifully secluded and peaceful. I encourage you to come and stay for as long as you can.

A MAGICAL little stuga in the woods
There are not enough words to say how magical this cabin is! From the minute you go through the iron gate and over the bridge you are in a fairy tale. A chandelier in the forest to a huge clawfoot tub overlooking the trees, waking up with a view of snow covered trees (first week of February) to the crackling fireplace... the charm just oozes from every corner inside and out. Big windows with beautiful views from every room, candles everywhere, outside spaces with fun lights, so much land and a river to explore. This was the perfect place for my husband and I to unplug from the world and just enjoy each other and nature (and a lot of board games). We were there 5 nights and we are ready to book it again for all of the other seasons and winter again!!! I have never booked anything this fantastic and we travel often...this is something very special and I think we left a little part of our hearts there when we checked out this morning. It was well stocked and super clean.

Best place I have ever stayed
This was a magical experience! I don’t want to say why because I want all of you who have never stayed there to be surprised, but I will give you a clue....go into the forest at night! The river, exploring the forest, and feeling secluded was just what we needed! I already booked it again. ❤️

Cozy spot to disconnect
Such a fantastic escape. We loved exploring the surrounding woods, listening to the creek, and curling up inside with a cocoa. Easy access to snowy activities on Mt. Hood, and fresh baked goods in Welches. House was well appointed, clean, and cozy.

Beautiful, secluded getaway
Excellent place to unplug and escape the chaos of the world. It offers everything one needs: fireplace, well appointed kitchen, plenty of windows, hot shower, gorgeous scenery out every window, the background serenade of a babbling creek, and hiking trails rough eight out the front door. The lack of internet and cell service was a big plus to just sink in and enjoy Mither Nature and the wild things as our constant (and only) companions.

FELL IN LOVE
This home was beautiful Nd I felt transported into an enchanted forest. We all loved being there and definitely want to go back again. The home had everything we could need, a perfect disconnect from the world. Loved the secret garden found the stuga man in the tree! The only things I would have liked were curtains in the downstairs room. For a sense of security (even though I kept telling the kids there was nothing there lol) and I would have brought fire wood in with us the first trip in.... thus house was the highlight of our trip and loved loved loved it!!

Magical cabin in the woods.
This is a wonderful place to get away from it all. Very quiet and charming. Be prepared to haul your things across the bridge and up the hill and pick up some wood at the local store so you can have a nice fire. Looking forward to another visit in the future.
