Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Tariq K. 19 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication The Wi-Fi wasn't working. The modem was inaccessible. The hosts took four hours to respond. They rebooted it the next morning. It was a hassle. I had to buy data. I asked for compensation. They refused to negotiate. Their first and final offer was 25, equal to 10% of the rate. End of conversation, right? Wrong! They then called to suggest that I leave a day early, since I was so "unhappy." (I declined.) So they were willing to give up 250 in rate. But no more than 25 to resolve our conflict. And I had to complain to Vrbo to get that. ##### Tariq K.

We found the host most responsive, the property beautifully maintained, and all the little details anticipated and provided for. The views of the river below were most interesting with various watercraft passing by both day and night. We will definitely book again the next time we are up in the area. ##### Bruce H. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Derek U. 30 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had one of the most disturbing experiences we’ve ever had at a rental. When we arrived, we entered our booked suite to find the TV on and another guest’s belongings scattered throughout. We immediately left, fearing we had walked in on someone, and contacted the host. After a delay, the host claimed VRBO “messed up” and given the other guest the wrong room. He told us the guest had “just arrived” and the room should still be clean, even offering to “tell us where the cleaning supplies are.” When the other guest returned, however, he told us he had already stayed overnight and the room was messy — directly contradicting what the host said.We were left with two unacceptable options: stay in a dirty room another guest already had the code for, or move into his room, which the host had also given him the code for. With no deadbolts or secondary locks, we spent the night knowing a stranger could walk in at any time.The room we ended up in was much smaller, lacked a bathroom sink or mirror, had no AC control, and a very small bed. Even ignoring the safety concerns and inconvenience, this unit rents for 30% less than the one we booked, yet the host wouldn’t refund that difference — let alone make amends. Instead, they admitted it was an “inferior suite” and offered only a 150 credit toward a future stay, ignoring the security and cleanliness issues.We strongly caution anyone considering this property: the host does not take safety, security, or cleanliness seriously. ##### Derek U. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Cathy M. 5 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Cathy I wish we would have known there were 32 steps up to the suite. The owner did offer to help my husband but he said he could do it by himself. Other than that we really enjoyed our time there. It is a great “base camp” to explore Mt. St. Helens! ##### Cathy M.

Beautiful, clean, comfortable, etc... This is the second time I stayed at this Vrbo site and if I am ever in the area again I know exactly where to stay. Look no further...you just found the perfect spot. Exactly as advertised and even better... Additionally, the owners are wonderful and provide caring & excellent service to their customers. Enjoy your stay...I surely did!!! ##### Scott M.

Incredible views. We could have sat in the chairs all day watching the river traffic. It was mesmerizing! The apartment was cozy and very comfortable. Only drawback was the noise from the train and highway. Not unbearable but noticeable. This was my first visit to this property but it won’t be my last. ##### Diana H. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 ---
