Metolius River Resort

I stayed here once before with my mother, and although it was far from perfect (fridge kept breaking down during our summer trip, noisy guests next door kept yelling and playing on instruments, dogs kept running around off leash), the cabin was still beautiful and comfortable to stay in. We were also hoping things had improved with the caretakers. The opposite occurred.This time, the cabin was dirty and corners had definitely been cut in terms of maintenance. The maid service did a terrible job prior to our arrival -- they left nasty hairs everywhere, there were dead flies and cobwebs all over the place, the cabin was NOT clean. The caretakers promised us to remove the cleaning fee after our stay, since we informed them of our cabins poor condition and one of them came over to see it, and agreed. They did not refund our cleaning fee, however, so it was basically a lie.The dirty cabin wasn't the only issue. The sprinkler system right next to the bedroom window went off at 1:30am every night and woke me up, completely ruining my sleep. The annoying part was that it was raining quite a lot during our stay, so the sprinklers were not only obnoxious but also a waste/pointless. The fridge and hot water heater under the sink kept going off too, very loudly for long periods of time even when we weren't using any hot water hours prior. The remotes were missing batteries and the tv did not work as instructed. The toilet kept running for long periods of time and eventually backed up/stopped working, we had to plunge it ourselves as it was late in the evening. The stairs are also uneven and some are going to cave, which will be a safety issue in the near future. None of the cabins are secluded. Someone can look in to your windows easily from walkways and other cabins, (and they often did) and they are all pretty close together. They were once very nice cabins, but had been taken care of poorly in the three year span between stays. I would not recommend staying here, it is not a true resort. This is not worth $400 a night.

We have stayed in Cabin 7 twice. Love its location right on the Metolius River. The cabin is a cozy A-frame with a cool sleeping loft. Nice kitchen and bathroom, and beautifully decorated. Large picture windows open to the big deck with a view to the river. From here there is easy access to the Camp Sherman store and easy hikes along the river's edge to the Wizard Falls fish hatchery.

A magical and peaceful getaway! These cabins are incredibly well decorated and put together. Nothing is out of place. A perfect place to get cozy by the fireplace with friends, family, and your loved ones. There are a few stores in the area but most are closed due to COVID. There is also a nearby restaurant. I recommend bringing your own groceries. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Cabin had a lovely view of the river. Kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and kitchen tools. Weather was cold and snowy and we enjoyed the snow. Am giving 4 stars because there weren't enough blankets, in my opinion. Had a hard time finding enough linens for the sofa bed.

I spent a weekend there with a friend recently and absolutely loved it. We stayed in the largest cabin, #11, and although I would disagree with the website's description as more secluded than the other cabins it was the epitome of luxury and tasteful decoration. The resort was quiet and peaceful and the beautiful Metolius river is an incredibly special place--like no where else I've ever been. I'll be back as soon as I can.

Logan was a big help on a request yesterday. He saved the day due to a socket wrench we needed. He keeps this place meticulous. His service to others was witnessed by us as we we working assembling a gift in the parking lot.Logan also keeps the grounds spotless and he has an up beat spirit about him.Loved our quick stay and will be back.

Beautiful !!! Cabins were well equipped - surroundings were nice - july 4th barbque was a nice touch and people in the area and resort were all quite nice - fishing was challenging but the beauty of the surroundings was exceptional and made up for the challenging fishing - folks running the general store were very pleasant - would go back in a heartbeat

Awesome little stays at the houses on the metolius. The people who work them are kind, professional and friendly. (Shout out to Sara!) The houses are clean and often well equipped for cooking if it has the full kitchen available. Always good times.

Quaint small cabins with very lovely decor and charm. The location offers a nice little spot in the Oregon forest with a beautiful view of Spring Creek. Friendly staff and neighbors, the location provides a very wonderful and quiet experience.

Great location on the river. Good walking access to the Camp Sherman store. Easy access to the upper river without driving. Cabins are cozy, very relaxing place to stay on the globe.

While this is a very nice, simple resort with lovely cabins, their reservation company, Vacasa, is the most inept I've ever encountered, as follows: I called to cancel one of four cabins on May 2, gave them my mailing address, and they were going to send me a refund check in the mail. After 2 two weeks, I called again to ask where my refund check was, and they didn't know. After no response for three more days, I called again and they told me they didn't get my address until May 19, and I would receive the check in about two weeks. I made two more calls before I could speak to a manager, who had no answers for the delay. I and my family have spent over $10,000 in two years to stay there and we won't be going back.

Visited during early November and the larch pines were bright yellow color. Setting was very well maintained even to moving to slow off-season.

We booked through Vacasa and when we arrived, the door code didn’t work. We found the manager, who said Vacasa was no longer booking for the resort, and hadn’t sent anyone to clean the cabin, so he did it. He didn’t leave enough towels for 4 people, and he left before we discovered things like broken lamps, no tv service, etc etc. To cap it off, he left for his “weekend” the next day and there is *no one* to cover for him! Vacasa won’t send anyone, because they no longer book for the resort, and the manager won’t answer our calls (Vacasa gave us his cell and we left a message). Good thing there’s no actual emergency! I will NEVER come back here and I will warn my friends not to.

Loved it, had a great time. I'd go back anytime! Stayed in cabin 12, so nicely decorated. Extremely quiet and peaceful ...at least it was Monday thru Thursday.

Quiet and serene setting. Small and not too much to see. We rode our bikes from Suttle Lake for a bite and cocktail.

Great places to rent a cabin or bring your RV. They also arrange free knowledgeable and informative hiking trips.
