We had a wonderful stay at the Belknap House. Everything is even more beautiful than the photos depict. The instructions were easy to follow and the owners were super responsive to any questions or minor issues that arose during our stay. I would highly recommend this property for a visit to McKenzie Bridge.

Lovely setting, well-equipped kitchen and living areas. We were very comfortable. Only a few minor recommendations: matches and paper for fire-starting in wood stove; Kleenex; more transparency about available sleeping areas - there were no mattresses on the sleeping porch beds. Otherwise it was perfect for our memorial gathering.

Memorial day weekend with friends at the Belknap House

We enjoyed our stay at the Belknap house. Jonathan was quick with answering all the questions we had before our trip, the house was clean, well maintained and is situated right on the river side with exceptional views. I would definitely like to come back and stay here again in the future.

Excellent stay!

We would’ve loved to have the hot tub available. It overlooks the river in such a neat setting and every time we looked out tear the back deck, the hot tube was a constant reminder. We also wish there was a bathroom to use without invading someone’s bedroom.

Very comfortable home right on the lovely waters of the Mackenzie River. Everything was as advertised or better. Comfortable beds, livingroom chairs, and well equipped kitchen which sometimes presented a "can you find me" challenge!" Both open deck and screened porch were great options to enjoy the river while reading, chatting, or playing a board game. Great active outdoor options too (e.g., hiking) nearby (be sure to hike the falls portion of the Mackenzie River Trail, about 30 minutes away). Very responsive home manager too. The only thing that was not 5-stars was the internet, which was sometimes slow and sometimes dropped the server, but that may be more related to the provider than the home owner.
view of a covered bridge viewable from the deck of the house.

Location was exactly what we wanted - right on the river. It’s gorgeous here and very conveniently located. McKenzie Bridge is a special place and this property was fabulous. We visited the area to experience the nature, and we were not disappointed. We’ll be back

Lovely home, beautiful setting

This is a great home for enjoying the river and for access to the McKenzie Forest. I would highly recommend springing the extra cash for washer/dryer use, which also grants access to the very nice screened porch with its table and two twin beds. Also, you may consider bringing house slippers or some socks, as the owners do not want shoes worn in the house. Overall, a great stay and would definitely return.

Relaxing and convenient to hiking

This property was even lovelier than described, inside and out. My friends and I enjoyed reading and drinking our morning coffee out on the deck overlooking the river. The kitchen had everything we needed and the house was sparkling clean. The king bed was a tad hard for my preferences but that could be my aging joints. Wifi was great, cell service was sparse, but we were there to vacation anyway. It was a short drive to beautiful hikes (Blue Pool, Sahale & Koosah Falls), hot springs, and delicious food at the MacKenzie Bridge Station Pub. We'd like to come back some day.

The place is nice, no washer dryer, 6 grown men, 8 towels for 5 night stay, 3 rolls of paper towels, 3 small garbage bags, no tissues, no blankets, sheet and bed spread, got down to 39 on Saturday night, two of the beds in the (4th bedroom) is on a screened in porch, the host was rude, texted him when we arrived 20 mins early and asked if we could get in, no return on text showed up, upset like we put him out told us we could wait on the deck till he got finished with whatever he did in the house, left without saying a word, no instructions on checking out , or towels.

McKenzie River

House was listed as 4 bedrooms and three bath. We purposely searched for a house with enough space for separate rooms. As we were only 3 people the additional rooms were locked and the host decided we didn’t need the extra bed and bathrooms. This resulted in adults having to share rooms and bathrooms. We looked for a house with enough space for all to allow for separate spaces. When contacted we were told that we would need to pay extra if we wanted the space. VRBO needs to update their policy for listing. Only the renter should determined what space can be used. This property should be listed as two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
