Overview

Located at the end of a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood street practically on the banks of the Sandy River, this rustic yet modern Rhododendron cabin has everything you need to enjoy the great outdoors in style. You'll love sitting outside and watching the beautiful river rush by while you wake up with your first cup of morning coffee. Spacious and open, this home is filled with familiar and positive vibes, and is dressed in charming decor. Step inside and leave your muddy boots and gear in the mudroom before heading into the house. (Remember to take advantage of the private washer and dryer to knock out your dirty duds!) The well-appointed living room features a handsome gas fireplace surrounded by lots of comfy furniture, the perfect place to entertain your guests while preparing tonight's home-cooked meal in the remodeled full kitchen. Boasting glistening tile countertops, terrific appliances, and plenty of cookware, this space is perfect for the accomplished family chef or culinary novice alike.

Downstairs, you'll find a full bathroom, a private library, and lots of board games to challenge the kids with. Upstairs, a cute loft area enjoys a daybed with a trundle and a small chair, plus the bedroom. This main bedroom features a king-size bed, ideal for spreading out to finish your favorite novel before dozing off. This bedroom also has a half-bathroom, a sitting area great for reading, and access to a balcony that overlooks the river. Between this bedroom, the daybed in the loft, and the sofa bed in the living room, this home can accommodate everyone comfortably. Use the free WiFi to research your next Rhododendron adventure, stream movies and music to your devices, or to find fun new recipes to play around with. Outside the living room, a furnished deck faces the river, so you can kick back to watch the water or eat an al-fresco lunch on a sunny afternoon. The kids will have a blast romping around the backyard with the family dog while you build a cozy fire in the outdoor firepit, the ideal place to enjoy a night of stargazing with hot, toasted marshmallows.

Rhododendron, a small town about an hour east of Portland, lies in a heavily-wooded, beautiful area along the river. On the other side of the highway is Welches, where you can play golf or stock up on groceries at the Thriftway. Just a few miles away, you'll find excellent mountain biking on the Sandy Ridge Trail. Plus, there are a plethora of hiking options, as well as good river fishing. And if your early-morning donut and coffee routine is a must-have, Sandy (under a 20-mile drive west) has a great donut shop, as well as many larger stores and restaurants. Of course, Mt. Hood waits just to the east of this vacation home, and a nearly 21-mile drive will get you to Timberline Lodge, where you can enjoy amazing skiing and snowboarding, or just building snow sculptures. However, you may just want to sit in your cozy rental home and enjoy the warmth of the fireplace while listening to the roar of the river.

THINGS TO KNOW
The bedroom is located in the loft and is an open sleeping area with no door separating the additional beds.

The cabin is extremely comfortable, and very well located for spending time near Mount Hood, as well as driving into Portland. The check in process was smooth and the host communicated throughout the process from booking to check out. We would definitely recommend!

Everything we wanted to see and do was within an hour drive. Great location for a quiet getaway with a roaring river in the backyard. Even saw blacktail deer passing through from the second story balcony!

The cabin was very peaceful and beautiful. All the recent upgrades were very nice and we enjoyed the well stocked kitchen and the spacious shower! We loved the wood carved bears, and all the rustic touches that gave it a very cozy feel. The wraparound cover deck was an added bonus to sit outside and listen to the Sandy River!! we even had a visit from a beautiful deer! Thank you for a wonderful time! Definitely will recommend your home!

Thank you, Suzanne, for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you found the cabin peaceful and beautiful, and that the recent upgrades enhanced your stay. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen and spacious shower, as well as the cozy rustic touches like the wood-carved bears.

The wraparound covered deck is indeed a special spot, and we’re glad you had the chance to relax there while listening to the Sandy River. How magical to have a deer visit you! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another wonderful time in the future.

We had to leave early due to air quality from a near fire, but had no issues with the home- beautiful area and well kept home.

Beautiful place, surrounded by nature. Very peaceful and quiet. Only recommendations is maybe add a TV to the bedroom to have something to wind down to after a day of hiking. Overall great experience, will definitely recommend and stay again.
