Beautiful dome house above the river
I booked this place for two top reasons; The fact it was out in the country with a river view And because it had a hot tub on the deck I was disheartened that the hot tub was not functioning. I reached out to the property owner( right next door) and she said she knew nothing about the hot tub, but her husband did. I then reached out to the property manager- left a message and sent a text- never got a reply. I loved the done house itself. And the view was amazing!!!

Cute little cottage. Unfortunately your experience was disappointing and anxiety-filled. There is little to no privacy, seeing how the owners live next door and their balcony and windows face the cabin directly. The blinds are very thin and the porch lights make it hard to sleep. Upon entering the cabin the back door was wide open it smelled of damp and mold. The hot tub was dirty with residual scum on the filters and pine needles. Again little to no privacy on back porch. The hot tub water left a rash on your skin. Went to go wash our clothes and found a dead mouse in the washer. Was a cute cabin with an amazing view. But unfortunately the stay did not reflect which was listed.

We love the beautiful surroundings and we enjoyed the hot tub after a long drive. The place is big enough for the 4 of us to spread out, my son was able to sleep on the couch. We had problems with communication, no one answered my questions before or during the stay. I wanted to know about what kind of grill they have on the property because all the stores would be closed when we arrived the day before Thanksgiving. The Wi-Fi dropped completely not just intermittently, and we were without WiFi during Thanksgiving. TV also went out without WiFi. My son figured out how to reset the router and we were able to gain access again. It would have been so simple to leave a note for guests to find and reset the router. Other than communication and WiFi issues, the place had everything we need. I brought a few other kitchen appliances because I didn’t hear back from the owners. The electric kettle and electric griddle I brought turned out to be very useful.

It’s a cute property in the woods, which we loved. There is just little hot water, not enough to support (2) showers, and barely one (as my daughter complained of it getting cold quickly). The shower is also not nice and the first day of showers, I ended up having to take an entirely cold shower. We also noticed after a day (when we left and came back) that we could smell mildew/mold. It is because of these two reasons we ended up checking out a day early. I don’t like to give bad reviews but I also don’t want someone to have the same experience we did.

Cozy place with lovely views and great private hot tub. Only downside is the flood light in the parking area that shines through the windows all night. Not ideal if you like it dark when you sleep.

Not as advertised.
Rented this property mainly as a place to sleep while coming into town for a UO football game. Listing described the place as 15 minutes from campus and that simply isn’t true, it’s a solid half hour away from UO. Upon arrival we were given a code for the door but not the gate to the property, it was a pain trying to figure out how to access the property. Once finally inside the gate, there were no signs or instructions saying to go further down the driveway to where the guest house was. Only saw one home, started putting in the code and the homeowner came out and very rudely told me the rental was down and around below where we were. Signs saying that or simply not having the property owner be a jerk would have been nice. The place itself was nice, had certain things gone better this review could be much different.

Hobbit hut on the river
This was a beautiful stay and well kept location with easy access to everything Springfield had to offer. The Mrs and I really enjoyed the weekend here, only 2 issues we found were the description is accurate, the hot water is extremely limited (maybe 10 min for a shower) and we found out late Saturday evening that the heater in the hot tub did not work (never got above 75) which was one of the main reasons we chose this. We would go back again if these two things can get fixed.

Hidden Gem
We did not realize we booked a Dome Home! What a delight to drive up and see how positively charming this little cottage is. Everything is as listed and even better in person. The view is gorgeous and so peaceful, the hot tub was hot and ready for our arrival, and the inside is charming and well kept. We had a small water leak from the washing machine hose so I contacted the property manager and he was quick with a response and was out the same day to fix it and while he was there he also balanced the chemicals in the hot tub, swept the porch and hung the bath mat... above and beyond. We ended up having to leave a day early and my only complaint would be that I wish we had more time to relax and enjoy this home. If we find ourselves in the Eugene area again, this will be where we stay.

Sweet and
This home is so cool! It’s a little hobbit house right on the river with so many perfect amenities built for the space. Everything was very clean and worked easily (tv, hot tub, induction stove top.) It was a bit tricky to get the hot tub cover back on by myself but a little persistence and physics got the job done. The owner’s home is right next to the rental, and that frankly made me feel safer being a solo traveler. I enjoyed a perfect, quiet few days. Thanks to the host for sharing this space - it’s pretty special!

3-Nights stay at Deerhorn
My husband and I were traveling on business with our dog and wanted to stay somewhere we could relax. I loved the unique dome cottage and the lovely views off the deck. It was very peaceful and the hot tub was perfect for relaxing. Unfortunately, the weather was very wet, so much so, that we were advised not to park near the cottage. The path down to the cottage wasn’t well lit at the top where we parked…fortunately the first time we did it in the daylight. The cottage had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.

This property is such a special place—the views, the setting, and of course, the hot tub. The cottage is well equipped and cozy. The area is so peaceful. The sounds of the river running by, the breeze through the trees, the tiny finches. It's definitely what this city dweller needed! We hope to book here again when in town to visit family, and we send our thanks to the property owners for sharing their property with us!

Amazing Place
This house was such a unique and wonderful place to stay. Beautiful view of the river and the valley, it felt like we were way out in the woods except we were only a 10 minute drive from town. The WiFi was not very reliable, which was not a deal breaker for us but could be troublesome if you were going to rely on it to do computer work. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this place and would to stay there again someday.

Such a gorgeous spot. Hot tub with views of the river was amazing. AC inside so you can escape from the summer heat. The path to the river was unfortunately very overgrown and not accessible towards the bottom but there was access not too far up the road. All in all was perfect and would recommend staying here.
