“Just the break we needed. Thanks for such a quaint spot & keeping with the old theme. Saw 8 shooting stars last night from this fine porch, so keep a lookout to the east.”

“Spent our 10th anniversary here. Of all the places we’ve stayed in Oregon this one is the sweetest. One of the best times of our lives!! We will be back and bring family & friends.”

“Of all the cabins we have stayed in, this has been the most memorable. It’s hard to compare this place to anywhere else and that is what makes it so unique. Don’t miss the fabulous food and hospitality at the restaurant. We will be coming back soon and again and again.”

“What a special get away for a long weekend. We’ve been to Sisters, Redmond, & the surrounding countryside. Drives we took and … eating at the restaurant. The snow was a special treat. Made your woodsy cabin even more cozy.”

“This past summer I was fortunate to spend two separate visits to your facility. It was truly an outstanding experience. The staff, under the direction of Kristie Ringler went over the top in supporting our visit. At no time was there anything not taken care of. We will definitely be back and both of us are looking forward to next year. Thanks for a great time!”

“I wanted to drop you a note to thank you for all of your help in working with us to accommodate some of the quests who attended our wedding this summer. Everyone enjoyed the cottages and your hospitality. I appreciated your follow up and attention to detail as you worked with us on cabin reservations and assignments. Many of our guests were from out of state and loved being right on the river…..so peaceful and beautiful! Not only are McKenzie Riverside Cottages a great location to stay, but you and your staff are wonderful to work with! Thank you again for your hospitality. I look forward to spending more time up on the McKenzie.”

“We wanted to take a moment to write to you regarding two of your employees: Kristie Ringler and Jeanne Fager. We have used your facility for the annual meeting of our AOI Service Corporation Board of Directors for several years now. The customer service we received this past spring and summer from Kristie and Jeanne was excellent. They were flexible in accommodating changes in arrangements along the way, helpful and creative in meeting the particular needs of our group and generally very pleasant to work with. Once our group arrived, all arrangements were carried out as we requested without a stumble. All in all, Kristie’s and Jeanne’s work and attention to detail contributed greatly to a very enjoyable experience. We thought you’d like to know.”
