Love the property cute and cozy. Kitchen was awesome. They didn’t miss any details. Outside was amazing to have river and peaceful surrounding while being in a quiet neighborhood. Close to town, store and restaurants. Will be back in springtime.

The home was cute and well kitchen stocked..
The driveway had a lot of parking for us and our drift boat. It would be nice if they cut in the grass a place to backup future to turn around. We enjoyed sitting at the river and we went fishing in the drift boat, rafting, jet boat evening dinner cruise and enjoyed our friends. We were impressed that the kitchen had quality pots and pans and other kitchen items needed to cook and prepare a wonderful meal. We will use the property again if it's available, it was very cute inside and very maintained outside. The neighbor was quiet. Thanks again Frank and Bev Betts

Retro on the Rogue River
This little house is the cutest ever. The kitchen was made for me, even the cat clock on the wall like I had in college. The whole house was spotless and cozy, and felt like home. It was so peaceful to walk down to the river, to watch the geese and I even had a very cordial chat with the next door neighbor. I wish we could have stayed a week, but we truly enjoyed the 2 nights we were there.

We had a great stay in this cute home visiting with our son. Great hikes nearby and Crater Lake National Park was just over an hour away. Absolutely gorgeous! We didn’t have time for it but the rafting on the Rogue River looked like a blast. Great location with many thoughtful touches in the home!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Centrally located for visits to Ashland and Crater Lake as well as fishing the Rogue. The yard is wonderful and so nice to have direct access to the river. The house is very well stocked with absolutely everything you could need. We've rented many vacation rentals and never had a kitchen that was outfitted better than this one. Great memories made!

Incredible stay!
This house was so cute and clean and well-stocked. The view? Gorgeous. The location? Prime. The beds? Like a cloud. The sheets? So soft. The closets had an insane amount of extra bedding/towels/tablecloths, etc. Everything was explained clearly in both the listing and the physical note in the house. Felt safe and right at home. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this place for anyone stopping through or visiting the area! Thank you so much!

Cozy and clean
House was very clean and cozy. Decorations very 50's which we loved. Very cute kitchen. It would be very helpful if the owners upgraded the WIFI connection and the satellite disc access. The WIFI was too weak to support streaming on our devices. The television kept going in and out every couple of minutes. It was impossible to watch any show and follow the story and the news programs available appeared to be week long repeats of Sunday programs. We also tried to take a walk down to the river and found that the gate on the fence was locked and there were no instructions on how to unlock it. The online listing did show people playing frisbee in the area beyond the back fence. We left a day early because the weather at Crater Lake was bad (but beautiful snow). Overall we have mixed feelings about our stay.

We're so sorry you did not have strong enough Wi-fi. We do have the strongest wi-fi available in the area. Unfortunately there are limited choices as it is somewhat remote. The gate code for the back yard is listed in the email instructions we sent you prior to your arrival. Always feel free to email or call an owner if you need help during your stay with us or anyone else! Thank you!

Lovely home in a beautiful neighborhood
The house is immaculate and well furnished. Our family of 5 had a great time. Our three kids slept in the second bedroom, with the youngest on the provided inflatable mattress. They were a little tight in there, but we could have put the mattress in the living area if we needed more space for each. The backyard is the highlight. It's large and grassy with scattered trees. There's a fenced-in area with a gate that locks, and the larger part outside the fence extends all the way to the bank of the Rogue River. We played frisbee by the river, watched the ducks and geese and thoroughly enjoyed it. Make sure you wear shoes you don't mind getting goose poop on the bottom of though. The focus of our visit was Crater Lake, and it's a pretty long drive to get there, a little over an hour. It's a very pleasant drive though, so didn't really bother us. Just something to be aware of. There aren't a lot of other lodging options in much closer proximity to the lake. To summarize: a beautiful home in a gorgeous location, reasonably close to Crater Lake if that's your destination.
