We had a lovely experience at this cabin. It was even decorated for Christmas! Super clean and well stocked. The sound of the river while enjoying the hot tub was just what we came for. Highly recommend for a couples getaway.

My husband and I loved staying here last month! The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed. The bed was so so soft and comfy and it was great waking up right on the water.

This was the perfect place to stay. The river is right there and nice to sit and listen to, and catch a glimpse of a fish swimming by every now and then. Close to several hiking options too. We really enjoyed our time there!

Thistle Dew lived up to our expections. The location was perfect for our activities. We really enjoyed the outside sitting area by the Salmon River. Saw a trout swim upstream, mergansers playing around, and kingfishers.
Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a place where you can relax and enjoy the scenery, this place is for you. Tucked away in Welches, it’s close to all the Mt Hood activities, but very private. With your own access to the river and the hot tub, it was a nice place to relax after hiking. The kitchen is a little sparse, but otherwise a great stay

We were so pleased to find such a beautiful cozy cabin with a wonderful river front yard. The interior of the cabin was woodsy, yet modern and it had everything you need.
We highly recommend it and will probably book another stay in the near future.

The check in was a little bumpy they didnt provide a number to call and i did not receive the email prior, but once we were in the property it was absolutely lovely. Perfect for the weekend, close to all the hiking spots and just what we needed.

As soon as you walk through the front door, you are immediately taken into a different world. The river behind the house is absolute perfection. I had the windows open the whole
time & it was the perfect soundtrack to the relaxing weekend I needed. Plenty of hiking trails within driving distance, and when I wasn't hiking I was sitting by the river or in the hot tub. I can't wait to come back!

This cabin was amazing. Tucked in the woods, along a beautiful river, but still close to amenities. There are other cabins nearby, but you’d never know it. It’s so quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend.

We fell in love with the property as soon as we opened the door and saw the view. The house was cozy (read small), but laid out in a way that fit our family of 4 just fine, was very clean and updated. The hot tub was awesome and much needed after a day on the mountain.
Can't wait to return!

This little place was a perfect 3 day getaway for our family. It was so clean and cozy and peaceful. Being right in the river was a wonderful bonus—it was such a lovely sound from the hot tub. We will definitely be coming back.

I fell in love with this property while viewing the photos online and it did not disappoint in person! Beautiful and convenient location to amazing hiking in the area. The cabin is simple but perfect in its details. We appreciated so many things including the clean, well-maintained hot tub, good mattresses, and the new living room furniture. The kitchen had everything we needed. We had a fabulous 11-night stay and would book again in a heartbeat if we are back in the same area! Thank you!

We found Thistle Dew to be a perfect spot for easy access to trailheads in Mt Hood National Forest. Unwinding in the hot tub at the end of the day was the perfect way to soothe tired muscles. The bed was comfy, the kitchen was well-stocked with supplies, and the living area was cozy. Communication with the property owner on a few minor items was completely satisfactory. Enjoyed our stay!

This cabin was perfect for our Mt Hood mountain biking vacation. The living room was great for hanging out and watching the deer and the river right out the back door. Wood stove inside made for fast warming up. Didn't use the hot tub, but it looked to be in good condition. A decent amount of kitchen items so that we could cook a couple nights. Coffee maker was a bit dated, but it still tasted great, so not a problem. Bed was comfortable, shower was hot, and the couch was soft. Overall, wonderful accommodation.

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed everything about our stay at thistle dew. The location is phenomenal. It is a cozy cabin that is really well maintained and feels like home. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could need, the fire pit by the river is great touch, and the hot tub view is amazing. We have already recommended it to our family and friends and several of them have already looked into booking. The only slight downside we had was the hot tub starting to have some issues towards the end of our stay despite us following the directions but that can easily happen with hot tubs. Didn’t impact how absolutely amazing thistle dew is. We absolutely plan on coming back!

Reviewer Comments:
My wife and I had the most relaxing time at the cabin. Everything from the fresh air, hot tub and overwhelming calmness was what we needed. The cabin, although surround by others is still very private due to all of the trees. Nearby trails and scenic drives made it worthwhile. The only thing we had trouble adjusting to was having so many large termites crawling around, as well as the septic tank smell in the restroom. Other than that, we will be booking this place again! We definitely recommend!
