We stayed at The River House to gather as a family (driving from as far as Burns and Eugene/Corvallis) and celebrate my husband’s apprenticeship turnout graduation. Our plan was to float the Rogue River and be able to float up to the house at the end of the river trip, which we DID and it was awesome. The house itself was very clean and comfortable - beds are VERY comfortable and pillows too, not cheap like a lot of vacation rentals. Same with bathroom towels and wash clothes, all quality linens. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could ever need and the pantry too! They even have a crockpot which we used to make pulled pork sliders for after the river float. The yard is steeper than expected, for some reason the photos look flatter than it is. The trail to the river was more of a trek than expected as well, but was do-able even for my 75 year old mother and my 19week pregnant self! (Rope at the bottom is helpful). The current was minimal so safe for the dog and kids. We lost power during our last night there which made the home extremely hot (to be expected during the first weekend of August in Grants Pass/Merlin!), but the owners responded to my messages right away and were very gracious in other ways to try to offset the inconvenience of no power or running water. They even mailed back a pair of glasses that a family member mistakenly left at the house, which was above and beyond kind! We will definitely stay at this house again!
