The space
Our newly built cabin, located on the beautiful Salmon River, features a beautiful setting with floor to ceiling windows, stainless steel appliances and a cozy wood stove. The spacious kitchen and dining area has direct access to the porch and hot tub; perfect for enjoying the Mt. Hood forest and river views while sipping coffee in the morning or wine in the evening. Upstairs features a separate loft area where kids will love to play games or watch TV. The basement is the perfect area to spread out, play foosball or relax watching a movie on the smart TV. Both TVs have new DVD players with an extensive assortment of DVDs. And don't forget to relax in our stunning 5 person hot tub!

Step outside and you’ll find a covered patio furnished with a propane BBQ, dining table and chairs. The magnificent Douglas Fir tree on our property is 500+ years old and is considered an ecological gem. Arborists claim it is one of the oldest Douglas Firs in the area. The Salmon River is a short 1 minute walk and is the only river in the U.S. designated as a National Wild and Scenic River. While the surrounding area offers tremendous opportunities for outdoor activities, Big Tree Retreat is your personal refuge and opportunity to reconnect with friends or family.
