Overview

Escape to this dream cabin in the woods with a private hot tub and river views. Located in Rhododendron right on the Sandy River, this beautiful abode is less than 25 miles from the slopes of Mt. Hood, where you'll find world-class skiing and snowboarding! This stunning region provides many options for year-round outdoor activities, such as hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and swimming! Rhododendron is truly a mountain town with a few outdoor-friendly restaurants, bars, and a grocery store. The nearby towns of Welches, Brightwood, and Government Camp provide more mountainside fun, like lookout points and places to kayak and fish.

Day trips are also a great option from here - the Columbia River Gorge is about 30 miles away, with world-famous windsurfing, kite surfing, and stunning views of waterfalls and mountains. The town of Hood River provides several brewery options and plenty of festivals and events year-round.

Outside on the deck is a picnic table, patio furniture, and a gas grill where you can whip up a barbecue feast. Down the hill by the river, there's a hammock, firepit, and several swings where the kids can play.

This home is outfitted with timber beams and woodsy decorations to create a lodge-like vibe. The living area is warm and spacious, with slanted wooden ceilings and natural lighting. Sink into one of the leather sofas and watch a favorite DVD on the TV. The full kitchen is charming, with complementing patchwork wood cabinets and an adorable breakfast nook in the corner where you can sip coffee and admire the forest views! There's also a private washer/dryer and WiFi for total comfort.

This Mt. Hood vacation rental has something for everyone in your group to enjoy!

As a Portland resident, this location was great for accessibility and getting a taste of nature without being too far from the city!
Avari was extremely helpful with any questions I had and made sure to respond in a timely manner.
I highly recommend any properties managed by Avari, I’ve never had any negative experiences with them :)

Hunter’s Lodge was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday weekend with friends and family. It was rustic, cozy, and right by the river, which made the setting feel especially peaceful and relaxing. It was exactly what I needed for a fun and memorable weekend with the people I love!

The rustic cabin was the perfect vacation spot in Rhododendron for our family of five. It’s close to exceptional hiking trails and idyllically situated in the woods with a rushing stream in the backyard that’s lovelier than the pictures capture! The cabin itself is clean with a well stocked kitchen for real cooking, a large table to eat together, games to play, and comfy furniture for the crew to relax in at the end of the day after hot tubbing. It was exactly what we wanted and more; we hope to return in the future!The host was super friendly, proactive in providing necessary rental information, and quick and responsive to all questions asked. I only caution future renters to consider purchasing the rental insurance for the summer months. -Just before we arrived the local govt issued a level 1 evacuation order in Rhododendron because of the Grasshopper fires. Given that was a safety issue outside our control, I inquired about cancelling if that order were to continue on our dates. The host responded that they heard my concerns, but we would lose all our money without the insurance and per the rental agreement. Fortunately for us, by the time we arrived the order had been lifted and there was no need to reconsider our plans at a big financial loss. I’m sharing because I would hate for others to naively end up in that situation.

Avari response:

Thank you, Deborah, for sharing your experience with us. We’re thrilled to hear that our rustic cabin was the perfect getaway for your family. It sounds like you made some wonderful memories enjoying the beautiful surroundings, from the rushing stream to the cozy evenings after hot tubbing.

We appreciate your kind words about our team and the cabin's amenities. We strive to provide a comfortable and well-equipped space for our guests, and it’s great to know that you found everything you needed for a memorable stay.

We also want to acknowledge your concerns regarding the evacuation order. Your feedback is invaluable, and we understand how important it is for future guests to be aware of the rental insurance option. We’re glad to hear that the situation resolved itself before your arrival, allowing you to enjoy your vacation without worry.

We would love to welcome you back in the future for another stay. Thank you again for your thoughtful review!
