Second Chair Inn

This place was ideal for us since we wanted a cabin in a safe, nice neighborhood. It allowed us to have friends visit and they could bring their pets, which was the best part of the place. With that being said, the property management company can take a few more steps to make it a better experience than if it was just an individual Airbnb owner. From the start, the digital lock was broken and it took a while to finally reach someone to get a physical key into the place. Once we got it, it was tricky to use the lock, but eventually, we were able to get in. The place was on the surface clean, but we noticed the fans had dust caked on it, dirty socks from previous visitors were under beds, and crumbs were all over both couches. Also, the main backyard was mowed, but they didn't finish mowing the sides of the area, so we had to keep our dogs out of the yard when we were not outside with them (risk of ticks). Lastly, we stayed for 2 weeks, but the amenities were only enough for a short, few days' stay, so we had to supply our own toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, etc. I would say that if the company works on improving these items, I would completely recommend to anyone who wants to have the small community feel, yet have the peace and quiet of the Oregon woods around them.

I've had the pleasure of staying at Second Chair a number of times. Once for a girlfriend's birthday getaway and another time with friends with our kiddos. Each visit was just what I needed: a comfortable and warm environment to hang out and relax in. The downstairs open floor plan is ideal to hang out and talk from either the gorgeous and spacious kitchen or sitting area. The upstairs lounge area is perfect for watching movies (my teen loves it). There are several different sleeping options from king size bed, queen, to bunk beds. The house is clean, welcoming, and most importantly, warm in the wintertime. I would recommend this home to anyone wanting a Mt. Hood getaway.

We booked this trip last minute and were pleasantly surprised to find this home available. This floor plan was fantastic for our group of 2 moms and 4 teens. The upstairs hangout space was perfect for video games and kid time, while the downstairs open space was great for late night games and music. Kitchen was well stocked and we found everything we needed. The fenced yard in front and back of the house was great for my 13 month old pup. The deck space in back was great but we found a bees nest and it deterred us from using it as much. I called after hours to report it and they responded early the next day to handle it. Beds were comfortable and even with hot summer days, the rooms cooled comfortably with the portable A/C units in them. The pool was great! It’s a simple community pool. Although the building was a bit outdated, everything was clean and the pool was well maintained. It was nice to walk the 7 minutes to get to it. This place is nicely tucked away but fairly quick access to supermarkets and some restaurants. It’s also close to several hiking trails, and we found some less traveled ones within this housing community that were right across the street. Although there were ant traps around, we did not see any signs of them while we were there. There could be a good dusting of the ceilings if I had any remarks to share on cleanliness. We loved looking at the stars from the back deck late at night. Internet service was a little spotty and both T-Mobile and Verizon cell service had some inconstancies but not serious enough to affect anything major. This house doesn’t have a ton of bells and whistles but it was the perfect fit for our group and our budget!

This was a sweet home-away-from-home. The pillows on the bed were really comfortable and they had shelves stocked with spices and essentials. It was clean and cozy. We were there for a ski race, and since there were ribbons on the fridge we guess others use it for the same reason. It was about 45 minutes from Meadows--perfectly fine for the price. Late cleaning caused for a delayed check-in and the dryer was broken, even though we had called to check on this and weren't told anything in advance. This was a hassle since it was stormy wet weather, but Vacasa made up for it with reimbursements. We'd stay there again.
