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.

My, at the time boyfriend, and I stayed at this cabin about 11 years ago when we first had started dating; when I reserved this cabin again I thought it looked familiar but it has gone through a little renovation so I wasn't 100% sure until arriving for our trip. It was a full circle moment having my husband and daughter with me for this trip and we would come back time and time again!

The cabin is so peaceful and surrounding area quiet. Even though there are homes within view, the area is quiet and you feel truly alone. The cabin is well cared for but you should expect some spiderwebs and maybe some live spiders (you're in the woods). The renovations are thoughtful and well done. I do with the backyard was a little more clear cut to allow my little one to run around, but we stayed on the trail to the river just fine. It would be super nice if they could put some sort of blind over the large skylight in the bedroom and curtains over the balcony back door though.

This place was great. Very well kept inside. It had a beautiful look & access to the river. The grass was really overgrown in the yard though, almost prevented a clear path to the river. Length was to my knees. The outside of the cabin could have been taken care of a little more.

Overall, the fact that there were no rooms was a huge plus for me and my friends. It felt very comfortable for a cabin. We loved the bathrooms especially. Heated towels was such a random plus. The place is wrapped by a neighborhood, so don’t expect a woodland isolation spot. Everything felt very private though.

And it’s roughly 10-20mins from our planned Mt. Hood ventures throughout the weekend. We for sure loved our stay overall.

This cabin in the woods, on the river was soooo beautiful, peaceful, we felt like we were deep in the woods completely alone. The home was pristinely cleaned and decorated in a way that was cozy and welcoming. It was well stocked with the essentials and had great bathroom accessories and supplies. We will absolutely return to this space, especially to sit by the fire and the river. What a gem of a find! 100/10 recommendation.

I am a music producer and this property was absolutely amazing. Only issues were personal preferences.

Absolutely amazing. Definitely needs a tv. And would be nice if it was weed wack around the fire-pit.

Some of the frozen mugs were dirty, pans hadnt been washed and should just be replaced. Sky lights need to be washed, I would’ve loved to be able to see out of them at night.
