Overview

Tucked away on 24 private acres along the Sandy River, this secluded Oregon lodge offers a true escape from the noise of everyday life. Surrounded by towering trees and the soothing sounds of flowing water, it’s the perfect setting for a romantic retreat, a peaceful unplugged getaway, or simply a chance to reconnect with nature.
This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom lodge is filled with vintage, antiquey character that adds warmth and personality to every corner. Upstairs, you’ll find a cozy bedroom featuring a queen bed, a twin bed, and a beautifully aged antique bathtub sitting quietly within the open space—creating a uniquely inviting and nostalgic atmosphere. The downstairs bedroom offers a comfortable queen bed, perfect for restful nights after a day spent exploring.
The living room has a quaint, cottage-like feel, ideal for curling up by the fire with a good book or enjoying quiet conversation. Step outside onto the large back deck, where lush forest and river views surround you. Multiple seating areas across the deck and property invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and fully take in the beauty of nature. Gather around the outdoor dining table for a shared meal, or simply listen to the gentle rhythm of the river nearby.
Here, you won’t find Wi-Fi or reliable cell service—and that’s exactly the point. Trade screens for starlit skies, notifications for birdsong, and busy schedules for slow, meaningful moments. Spend your evenings around the crackling fireplace, roasting s’mores and making memories, or venture out for scenic hikes through Oregon’s pristine wilderness.
Whether you’re seeking solitude, connection, or a bit of both, this remote lodge invites you to unwind, recharge, and experience the magic of a true off-the-grid getaway.

This place is magical, it genuinely feels like you’ve entered another world when you go here. Just understand what you’re going into because it is secluded and definitely took us a day to get used to being that alone (especially being city people). The sound of the rushing water and beautiful outside landscaping were awesome!

Avari response:

We're so glad you found our lodge to be magical, Austin! It sounds like the peaceful seclusion really allowed you to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. The sounds of the rushing water and the lovely landscaping are truly special, and we're thrilled they made an impression on you. We understand that adjusting to the tranquility can take a bit of time, especially for city dwellers, but we're happy you embraced the experience. We hope you carry a bit of that magic with you and would love to welcome you back for another escape whenever you're ready!

It is a great escape to unplug. You will have to be okay with rustic and wild life. There were several garden snakes around the property and a mouse in the cabin. But if those things don’t bother you it is an incredible location, quiet and private
