I booked our stay at Tenzen Springs after throughly reading as many reviews as possible. I always…read morelike to know what I can expect and prepare myself for the cons. Prior to booking I knew there were 3 "issues". The first one being the nearby train tracks. Second, the sulfur smell from the tub. Last being the comfortability of the beds. My review is based on cabin 4, which is the ADA cabin and is a slightly larger layout. Upon arrival, the instructions were extremely simple. The cabin was immaculate and we were both pleasantly surprised by all of the amenities and smart design choices that made a seemingly small space feel larger. We had opted to eat most meals at the cabin and packed a cooler with our refrigerated items. The kitchen was adequately stocked for 2 people. Absolutely no issues there. Tenzen Springs provides assorted Starbucks coffee K-cups, teas and sweeteners. The Keurig coffee maker is simple to use. They even provided a small container of milk, which I hadn't thought to bring and was extremely thankful for it. The instructional videos that Tenzen Springs provides made it very simple to figure out how to work the air conditioner, steam shower, tub, stovetop, etc. Okay, first con is the noise from the train. I was prepared for it and you should be, too. I knew that it would be barreling past us in the middle of the night and I am an extremely light sleeper. The first night, I used white noise on my iPad. That did not drown it out enough so on our second night I used the ear plugs. That did a better job but I still heard the train. It seems like it is every 3 hours or so. Did I let it ruin my time? Nope. The second con is the sulfur smell. After reading one review, I was seriously prepared for the worst. So I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it's really not that bad and you only smell it when you're in the tub area. The third con is the bed. Being a mattress snob, I can see why folks complain. The mattress is not the best, but it is far from the worst. And we did not book the cabin based on how comfortable the bed is. The bedding, however, is perfect and quite cozy. We slept fine both nights and woke up with the intent of soaking in the tub as soon as possible. I must say, the pros outweigh the cons at Tenzen Springs. We soaked our cares away and felt like we were completely secluded. We walked the grounds at sunset and saw a breathtaking beauty that we don't get day to day. It was awe inspiring and made us extremely thankful for the experience, even if it was just for the weekend. Tenzen Springs has put obvious thought into the perfect placement of the cabins to make you feel secluded as well as mowing walking paths out to benches overlooking the gorge and hammocks placed perfectly in the shade. We used our time to reflect and reset and came out of it completely recharged. We cannot wait to go back. Thank you Tenzen Springs for an unforgettable weekend.

If you're reading this review because you're trying to choose a spot in the area before making a…read morereservation, but wanting to see what others say, look no further...this is your calling. This is where you need to stay! What can I say? Came here for two nights. Did a few things in the surrounding area but my mind was on the cabin. This is truly a tranquil space. Keep in mind, it is a shared space with other cabins, but nonetheless, it's a beautiful tranquil spot. Nestled in the hilltop, you'll wake up to deer and wild turkeys most likely, as we did. Just a relaxing and calm environment. We stayed at Cabin #5. To me, this was the best cabin with views. You can see water through the trees a bit, as well as the forest trees beyond. With a private geothermal soaking tub, you're sure to just melt all your cares away. Plus, the outdoor shower will help you rinse off before getting in. This was a nice touch to my stay. Then, the tiled shower acts as a steam-room with a touch of a button. How unique!! They provide new packaged slippers for you to use in cabin, as well as flip flops to be used if you choose around the cabin deck. The bed was amazing. Each night I slept like a baby. They have two reading lights, so it was nice to read a few pages before bed. Also, there's two electric outlets on each side of the bed in case you need to charge phone or anything within arm's reach. Well ventilated by fan, or you have option to use remote controlled A/C fan. On the premises you'll find many instagrammable photo opportunities. Also, you'll find a few walking paths that lead to some benches under a beautiful tree to relax, or you can relax with views of the Gorge in another spot. Also, there's two hammocks in a shady area if you want to use to take a nap. Also, a unique touch. You'll have your own parking space and I even saw electrical outlets in case you have electric vehicle. All in all, this has been my favorite AirBnB and I've stayed at several. I did not want to leave. Even on the day we had a packed itinerary to leave and do activities, I made sure to be back early to enjoy this space. I am so glad I did. Just a beautiful place.

Enjoyed our time in the cabin and loved the soaking tub on the back patio, with the view of the river. We did hear quite a few trains go by throughout the night and morning. Was not a fan of the cabin above us (cabin 7 I think?). They had tons of kids running around and up and down the stairs making it hard for us to enjoy and relax. Lots of thuds and thumping and super inconsiderate to us below them. The neighbor right next to us had a dog with them that kept barking when we were using the soaking tub, so we didn't get to use it very long the evening we got there, but we were able to enjoy it early in the morning because the dog was quiet and did not continue to bark. Loved that there was a small record player in the cabin, but wish there was a bigger selection of records in the room and the lounge area. We did really like how close it was to all the breweries and restaurants. Would love to come back with friends next time!

I jumped through hoops to get immunizations shots, for my service dogs, and proof that they were service dogs, along with pics! I had to do all of these things before I could even look at this home!! I also had help, from WGAP, to pay rent ,for a year lease, and that was sent to Con, by email. You would think that with everything going on,with COVID, an owner would be happy to get guaranteed rent. Besides the fact, I am a good tenant! When Connie arrived she got out of the car ,with a nasty attitude, and refused to even speak to me, or say hello, until she got half way in the yard. I should of known better when I noticed, on the phone, that she had an attitude! I responded by saying, "You don't have to show me the place if you don't want to, I can look elsewhere." I was also shocked that her company was asking me for 500 dollars "each" for my service animals, and 20 dollars, per dog, for a pet fee each month. This is illegal!! Moving forward, She told me that she was taking application fees, from several people, and couldn't tell me what order I was in, or how far along others were in the application process. She also told me how people were stealing things on the property, behind the house, I was looking at. I actually began to think she was doing everything she could to convince me or dissuade me from considering this property. I then thought, "surely, I must be wrong". Why would she do that? I followed her back to her office to give her money, for a background check, and of course they all of a sudden didn't take cash and I had to get a 50 dollar money order. This was on a Thursday, on January 21. My credit was checked that day, at 11 am, and I realized that it didn't go through. I got a notice, from Experian, that I forgot to unblock my credit, and my credit couldn't be checked. I called her back and she said she would reach out to someone to see if I only had to pay for half, since they got the other two credit companies. It took her 27 hrs to get back to me, which was Friday, at 3:30, the next day. She told me the credit check would just be 25 more dollars. I was driving when she got back late and had to wait the whole weekend, until Monday, to get in touch with her. I would try to communicate with her many times in emails and my emails were IGNORED, prior to this day, and afterwards. On Monday, I called her again and she ran my credit on Monday,at 11, and crickets. Then Tuesday goes by and crickets. I called some of my references and they were told that they gave me great reviews on Tuesday and Wednesday comes around and crickets. Finally, I had enough of this. I emailed Connie at 4:30, Weds eve., and said I feel that this is not the right fit and it is causing me a lot of anxiety and that I felt uncomfortable because of the unprofessionalism from her and the people at her company. Her response was Sorry, you feel uncomfortable but, I told you we were screening several applicants. I would be happy to send your screening results. I asked for the results and if they were denied and didn't get ANYTHING from her.Crickets. This just angered me even more. Something is seriously wrong with people who act like this. I am really considering suing this company. How amazing that after endless emails and phone calls she was unavailable until I said I had enough of this garbage!!! By the way, I didn't get ANYTHING from this lady about my credit check. Nothing They totally SCREWED me over, they discriminated against me and they are UNETHICAL. I am going to speak to a lawyer and reach out to the ADA about their unlawful practice. If I have to, I will SUE them out of principal. I had zero response as to what my background said. STAY FAR AWAY from these people!!! They talk to you badly and look down on you like your trash if you have any help from the government. Apparently, It doesn't matter that I am a substitute teacher, at two different schools and the schools were shut down. I am considering suing them for discrimination and refusing to provide me with any information after taking my application money TWICE. By the way, I saw another review from an gentleman stating that Oak Street hotel and gorge rentals were the same and Oak Street hotel said they weren't and they are! This company is lying. The second time I had my credit run for gorge rentals it was processed through Oak Street hotel and is listed on my bank card as a transaction with them. I definitely never stayed at Oak Street hotel!
