About this house rental

Situated in Douglas City, this attractive house for $269 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Beautiful and fully appointed A-Frame house on the bank of the Trinity River. Relax, chill, fish, play... On the Trinity River! Alpen Glow is a wonderful, pet-friendly cabin that has an extraordinary deck overlooking the river. The railings are see-through with stainless steel cable horizontals to optimize the view. The huge kitchen is fully appointed. Pretty much, if it doesn't have it, you don't need it. There is a large pantry with many basics. There is dining for 8-10 (if approved; Alpen Glow is priced for up to 7 guests). The large living room has 30-foot ceilings, an electric fireplace that provides pleasant heat and is stunning to watch, an extensive library, flat panel TV with Dish TV and DVD player with a large library of movies. The very large leather sectional features a recliner and a comfortable hide-a-bed, so extra guests can sleep there and not on the futon in the master loft, which gives everyone more privacy. Alpen Glow has Wi-Fi, cable TV and a (shared) land line phone with free long distance. Wi-Fi has been a stumbling block for us here because we've had limited suppliers and options but Fall 2017 we finally got access to unlimited fast streaming and we jumped immediately. The cabin has all kinds of sleeping areas, including two lofts (one is an enormous master loft with a CalKing bed and in-room Jacuzzi tub. Its closets are so large, we even put a twin bed in one of them). There is one traditional bedroom with a queen bed and a twin bed and the leather sectional in the living room has a queen hide-a-bed in it as well as room for another sleeper on the other side of the couch. Yes, it is THAT big! More details below: The lofts are open, but do not look on each other. The spacious Master Loft has a California King log bed with an organic memory foam topper, wood stove, Jacuzzi tub in room (not an outdoor hot tub; a bathing tub), queen futon and a private bath (toilet & shower; double vanity). The River Loft log bed looks out over the river, mountains and sky. The traditional bedroom on the main floor has a handsome wrought iron queen bed with pillowtop mattress and a twin bed. There's a mud room that's great for drying gear. The mud room has an additional pantry, washer and dryer, plus a deep sink. Alpen Glow has an enormous deck overlooking the Trinity River, mountains and trees. Year-round, this is a favored spot for guests. There is a shared BBQ patio on the upriver side of Alpen Glow, but the majority of the cabin focuses on the river and guests rarely see other cabins' guests unless they go out of their way. Birdsong is so abundant, it boggles the mind. There is salmon and trout fishing at the cabin, plus a swimming hole. Wonderful ponds nearby are warmer than the river in summer, and fun for calm water swimming and playing with your dogs. A log swing and comfy chairs are all around the 1.15 acre lot that is shared by 2 other cabins, each unique in its own right and private from each other, but close enough you can rent all for a large group, as many family reunions in summer and fishing groups in winter do. There are no other properties on the Trinity River that equal this location. It really does have everything.

Enjoyed our visit and exploring the Trinity-Shasta Natl Forest. The property was very nice and clean with all essentials provided. That being said, it is due for some maintenance. The main furnace was not being used. We did not try to light it, so I don’t know if it is operational. There were space heaters throughout the building, a wall unit, an electric fireplace and a wood stove in the upstairs. The upstairs loft area stayed quite comfortable, but the downstairs would get a little chilly at times. Other than that minor issue, we had no problems and enjoyed our stay.

When we arrived, there was a car in the carport. Thinking the guests in the neighboring property had parked there, I checked the lock box. No key. I knocked on the door and two men were occupying it. They insisted they had booked it and the host had double booked. No cell service, so we had to drive 30 minutes back to town to call host. Turns out the codes were the same and the had gone to the wrong property. Owner insisted lock box codes weren’t the same, but I doubt that. Owner kept repeating it was “not his fault” and told us we could go back since the men had vacated. I don’t know about you, but I’m not checking into a place that has been occupied for. Hours before we arrived. I do not consider that “ready.” The only action the host was willing to take was to refund the cleaning fee. So we get it with the bathrooms used and whatever else they did in the house but we don’t have to pay for it to be clean for the next guests? Unacceptable. Filed a dispute with VRBO but they are unwilling to intervene further on my behalf and say to take it up with host. So I’m out a bunch for not occupying a house that was not clean. BEWARE

On the surface, this property has so much going for it. Most of the house is very nicely furnished & cozy. But, unfortunately, there are some major inconveniences… not the least of which is the inability to warm the downstairs. This week (with highs in the low 60’s & lows in the low 30’s) it was virtually impossible to spend any time downstairs where the TV/dining table are located. There are two heat sources downstairs but (with the high ceilings & large windows) they are both completely ineffective. We contacted the owner who assured us that if we used the wall furnace upstairs, the ceiling fans & lit the stove upstairs the whole place would warm up. It didn’t. Several hours later the temp downstairs was still only 58*. Secondly, several areas of the home are very dark & have inadequate lighting. There are also broken light switches and thermostats that don’t work. Next, there was no fresh shampoo or bath soap in either of the bathrooms. You MIGHT find something if you poked around in the drawers and cabinets but most of what we found seemed to be leftover from other guests (semi-used personal toiletry items). It was apparent that the drawers and cabinets are not being emptied between guests. Finally, though the outside area along the river IS lovely, the noise from the nearby highway is a bit of a distraction. Bottom line: this property has incredible potential for being a very nice getaway but it definitely needs some attention paid to "guest comfort".

Group of friends stayed for a weekend fishing trip and the property was great for what we needed. We even caught a few fish in the part of the river behind the house.

This is my third visit to this property and I’ve enjoyed each visit tremendously. The cabin is well stocked with anything you may need during your stay. Beautiful views from the wrap around porch and the river is only a few feet from your door. It’s a great get away and has a feel of a home away from home.

The location of the cabin is perfect. The deck and lawn are great places to relax after a day of tubing, fishing, paddle boarding or kayaking. The Trinity River is a gorgeous river. We would definitely stay there again!

We enjoyed the peacefulness and Serenity of the home. On the back deck you can watch all the stars at night Thursday night it was fabulous . The river is beautiful , Enjoying the sounds of the river was so relaxing. We tried fishing on the river and at whiskey lake both locations we didn't have any luck but it sure was beautiful. You will most certainly enjoy your vacation here.
