Overview

With a serene location on the banks of Clear Creek and two-story windows that frame the river and the surrounding woodlands, Rustling Waters Getaway will help you relax, unwind, and truly get away from it all. This beautiful Mt. Hood A-frame house features a light-filled interior with vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, a large stone fireplace with a wood-burning insert, and stunning outdoor features that include a private hot tub, a wrap-around deck, a firepit, and a wood swing down by the creek. A riverfront retreat at Rustling Waters is a vacation you'll remember for a lifetime.

The small towns of Welches and Rhododendron are both three miles away, providing you with several fun restaurants and shops to enjoy. You'll be two miles from the ever-popular Skyway Bar & Grill in Zigzag, and close to the lovely trails in the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness. Charming Government Camp is a 12-mile drive from home, and Mt. Hood Skibowl (12 miles), Timberline Lodge (19 miles), and Mt. Hood Meadows (23 miles) are wonderful spots for all sorts of wintertime thrills.

Besides the hot tub randomly being broken it was a flawless experience and a memorable one. *Beautiful* grounds, quite literally breathtakingly beautiful. There is a neighbor who is fairly visible from the house but it wasn't an issue (just isn't shown in the pictures on the listing).

Avari response:

Thank you, Robby, for sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that you found the grounds breathtaking and that your stay was memorable overall. We genuinely regret that the hot tub was not functioning during your visit; that shouldn't have happened, and we appreciate your understanding.

We also value your feedback about the visibility of the neighbor. We strive to provide an accurate representation of our properties, and your insights help us improve. We hope you'll consider returning to enjoy more of what Rhododendron has to offer. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we would love the chance to host you again.
