As you sit in the great room of this beautiful six bedroom home in Welches, you just might have to put down your glass of Glenlivit, lay aside your journal, and walk to the grand wall of windows to check your location. No, you're not at a country estate. The wooded expanse you see is, in fact, a golf course. Specifically, the five-tee of Resort at the Mountain's Foxglove course. But you don't have to be a golfer to enjoy the luxury of this home and the many activities in the Welches, Mount Hood area.

Seated in the living area of this beautiful home, you just might be tempted to ring for the servant. Its massive floor to ceiling fireplace looks like something out of an English country manor. The tasteful and elegant accessories complete it's regal ambiance. And while you're up, stroll out onto the deck off the great room and savor the resplendent green of the links and the majestic peaks in the distance. Surf the internet with the free WIFI, listen to a CD, or watch a DVD or your favorite show on the 42" flat screen TV with cable. If it gets a little too hot in the summer, just turn on the central air conditioning.

This mountain getaway has room for 15. You'll feel like royalty in one of the two master suites. Both have their own propane fireplace, king bed, vaulted ceiling, and there is an indoor Jacuzzi tub as well. There are four other bedrooms, two upstairs with queen beds, one downstairs with a twin trundle, and a dormitory in the basement with two bunk beds, a twin bed and a half bath. The home has a total of three full and one half bathrooms. The entire main floor including the master bedroom and bathroom are wheelchair accessible.

Great for large gatherings, this home naturally accommodates each group's privacy. Over the two car garage and one of the bedrooms is a studio with a king bed that features a separate kitchenette and bathroom for added privacy.

If you're planning to go out to dinner, there are 13 restaurants in and around Welches with something for every palette. If you're staying in, this kitchen is a match for any culinary skill. Its beautiful hardwood floor, stainless steel appliances, and ample counter space is consistent with the elegant tone of the home with all the functionality you'd expect from a modern kitchen. Outside, you'll find a fire pit, so bring the marshmallows!

Of course Welches is a golf mecca. But you've got to put down the clubs some time! There's so much to do around this area. The home is located 12 miles from Government Camp and is a 30 minute drive from Timberline Ski area or Mount Hood Meadows (see Vacasa offer above.) In the Fall, you are just an hour from Hood River and a drive through some of the most beautiful orchards in the world. And don't forget your tackle box, kayak, and/or canoe. The Sandy River is right nearby. If you need something, there are plenty of outfitters in town or close by.

Things to remember: This home is wheelchair accessible. Also, all vehicles must be parked off-street, either in the garage/driveway or in gravel parking area. There's a maximum of 8 medium sized vehicles and sorry, no RV's, campers, trailers and boats are permitted

It was just an amazing place! We loved that we can be in our private areas and have the kitchen and living area as a common place to eat and just be together. The views from the house was awesome and just behind the house we enjoyed playing in the snow on the golf course. It was just an amazing experience and we will definitely be coming back to this place next year!

We had 15 family members all stay at The Lodge at Welches and we were very comfortable! We all had plenty of room and the beds were very comfortable. Lots of supplies in the kitchen. Very cozy with all of the furnishings, decorations; it just felt like home. Only thing I can think of to improve is the living/dining room could use a little more light. Got pretty dark at night. The candles helped.

Six of us (friends who went to grad school 25 years ago together) rent a house every year in a different location and this year we picked Portland which is how we found the house. We only used 4 bedrooms (2 had kings, 2 and queens) and opted not to use the kids room downstairs that has a few bunk beds and another room that has a single and trundle as these beds were not comfortable for us. The house was roomy, clean and in good condition. The oven is a Viking so it's not an easy oven to clean but it does appear to need cleaning. The coffee maker needs to be replaced. The only other deficiency in the house seemed to be with the vegetable peelers...they don't work well but this is incidental and we could all easily work with these things. What all of us didn't like was the request to start the laundry. It's not appropriate to ask guests to do this. We paid a housekeeping fee and this should cover the labor of cleaning up the house although we left it very good order. The management company wrote me a very nice e-mail explaining they ask guests to do this because it sometimes takes 9 hours to do laundry and they have to turn over the house. Turning over the house is the job of the management company and if one housekeeper is not sufficient or one washing machine is not enough, then the management company needs to hire additional housekeepers or send out the laundry. The solution is not to ask the guests to start cleaning.
Manager Response: We do appreciate this feedback. We did make sure you knew that we were not requiring this from you, rather it's just something that greatly helps our staff. Most of our guests do not mind throwing a load of towels in the washer prior to check out and we certainly never mean to offend our guests or ask too much.

Perfect house for a bunch of guys to use as a place to stay for a golf weekend. Easily accommodated 9 of us and was WAY nicer than we are used to. The course it is located on was great and we will definitely try to do this again.

Linda was wonderful to work with. She cleaned the refrigerator out first so that we could get food out of coolers and into the proper place to avoid spoilage as we were off to play five hours of golf. The house was VERY clean when we returned as she did a great job.

One concern was when trying to pay VACASA, I decided to take the check into their offices which were difficult to find as the address given appeared to be a vacant office. I didn't want to hand over a check of other people's money to just anyone and even didn't want it to get lost in the mail, so this did cause confusion and concern. After a few phone calls I was able to get it to the right people, but if there is any way to correct this issue, it would give a renter much more confidence in the transaction. Thank you. BTW, the address listed below is not the location I am referring to. The office where I took the check was in NW Portland, but I can't remember the street.

Manager Response: Thank you for your review! I apologize for the confusion with the payment as we don't get walk in payments to the Portland office very often. Our new location is much easier to find at 4440 SW Corbett Ave, Suite 204 in Portland.

We had not met our son-in-laws family so we used this property to merge two families. This property was ideal. Large enough for everyone to have their own space but with common areas for getting to know each other. The kitchen was ideal with a commercial grade oven. The surrounding area holds activities for everyone. Just a great experiance.

My entire family loved our stay in Welches. I was initially hoping for a view of the Mountain but changed my expectations when I realized the terrain and old-growth trees wouldn't allow that. The deck was spacious and perfect for a happy hour watching the afternoon golfers. Beautiful! Indoors was fun, too, with fitting antique decorations and many comfy bedrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, pots and pans (though it could use some more bowls?) and we enjoyed many large family meals during our stay. Thank you for a wonderful memorable family reunion on Mt Hood!
