Overview

Spend your days skiing, hiking, and fishing when you book a getaway to this riverfront home with a private deck, an outdoor fireplace, and a gorgeous location on the banks of the Sandy River. Wonderfully situated in a woodland neighborhood in Rhododendron, this rustic and elegant two-level home is less than six miles from the Resort at the Mountain's golf courses, 15 miles from Mt. Hood Skibowl, 21 miles from the Timberline Lodge and Ski Area, and 26 miles from Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort. Once featured in the pages of Better Homes and Gardens, this warm and lofty home makes a comfortable escape for small families and groups of friends looking to enjoy the beauty of Mt. Hood. With two-story ceilings and a stunning wall of windows that frame the forest and the Sandy River, the living space is full of thoughtful and homey details. Curl up with a novel on the sofa, or enjoy an afternoon game of Scrabble in the warmth of the wood-burning fireplace. And although the tempting dishes at the Rendezvous Grill are only five miles away, you'll cook comfortably in the open and well-equipped full kitchen. Grind your own Mt. Hood Roasters coffee beans each morning and enjoy family breakfasts at the farmhouse dining table. As the sun sets each evening, pour yourself a glass of wine and soak in the sweeping river views on the back deck. Feeling a bit cold? You'll find an outdoor fireplace for those chilly mountain nights. To make your stay all the more relaxing and convenient, Alder Wood is equipped with a private washer/dryer. This home also has a TV and DVD player. Upstairs, you'll find two loft-style adjoining bedrooms with one queen bed and one twin bed, although a door does not separate them. WiFi is also provided.

We enjoyed a sunny, quiet few days at this cozy, comfortable home. Lots of fun details in the eclectic decor and lovely to be steps away from the rushing river.

I Loved the way it was decorated, it has lots of personality! Also, bed, furniture, was very comfortable. Lots of extra throws, and blankets.

I loved the full windows out out the river. Surprised how warm it was in the middle of winter. I had to turn DOWN the heat. Loved the sound of the river and the rain falling to sleep. Peace on earth for sure. Absolutely on the list for my next outing.

We’ve stayed at a lot of vacation homes and this was one of our favorites! The home was thoughtfully decorated and so, so comfortable. It was perfectly clean and there was not one thing that we needed/wanted…every single thing was accounted for to ensure we had a comfortable stay. The pillows and beds were so comfy and the property was very private and quiet. It was the perfect getaway for our family! We loved spending time down at the river, playing guitar by the fireplace, and enjoying s’mores in the outdoor fire pit. It was close to Timberline for skiing/snowboarding and to French’s Dome for climbing. The kitchen was well appointed for cooking our meals and the owners/Vacasa communicated everything really clearly. Thank you for providing an affordable vacation for us :) Can’t wait to book again!
