'Pahto's Retreat' Luxe White Salmon Home: Hot Tub

Reviews

• Lovely House with Lovely View

  5/5

  The Pahto house is lovely and a great place to stay, especially if you have a number of people. We had 10 staying after Christmas, four of which were children, and it held us all very comfortably and conveniently. Contrary to what one person said in a review, I found the master bedroom bed amazingly comfortable, and I am not a good sleeper. I slept like a baby while there. The view is wonderful of Mt. Adams (we think it's that mountain; we have a lot of volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest); the only caveat to that is the fairly common cloud cover that can obscure it. We had a few days of really beautiful sunrises on the mountain, however, so we were very lucky. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. Its layout is wonderful if you have a number of people in it. The pantry is great. I love things to be neat, and having a big pantry made neatness so much more possible. The laundry room is roomy and so easy to use. The many bathrooms, with bathtubs for the kids, were very convenient. I loved the master bathroom bathtub. Awesome. The media room was great. The only real complaint I had was the lack of shampoo. There were many bottles of hair conditioner and hand sanitizer, but no shampoo, so we had to make a run out for that. I had great hopes of using the patio with the fireplace, but we could not figure out how to use it. The instructions mentioned in the book for the house were not found. Despite the two drawbacks, I have wonderful memories of our stay there.

• Beautiful house and setting, uncomfortable beds

  4/5

  The good: the house, and the view are beautiful, peaceful and scenic setting. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped.

  The not as good: the bed in the master bedroom is miserably soft and just two twin beds pushed together without so much as a king size sheet. I slept terribly and my back hurt from the poor quality mattress.

  Despite being an expensive luxury rental and paying a cleaning fee, the checkout time was very early and the list of chores prior to checkout was extensive and included stripping the beds. Definitely not what I have come to expect from high quality vacation rental companies! Will likely look for an alternative management company in the future

• Best Place Ever

  5/5

  Our family is very grateful for the opportunity to stay at this gorgeous house. Every aspect of the house and property is a straight 10. The spacious floor plan, amenities, comfy beds, hot tub, views and outdoor spaces were absolutely stunning. I’ve never stayed at a place where every need has been anticipated and perfectly covered. Comfort beyond words! Enough towels, great cookware, serving pieces, clean appliances. So grateful this place was available to us & can’t wait to come back! Thanks!

• Fabulous House

  5/5

  We celebrated my husbands 90 th birthday with our daughters, son-in-law and three young adult grandsons. There was plenty of private space as well as gathering areas in the dining room, living room and outdoors dining area. Beds were very comfortable, the weather was delightful, the views outstanding, landscaping lovely, house well equipped.
