Summary:

Roaring River Retreat



The Space:

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.

The cabin was super cozy and just like the pictures. Easy check in. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed. The only downsides were the pullout bed downstairs was very uncomfortable and noisy. During our stay, we lost electricity and water so we were not able to fully enjoy the cabin as intended. If it weren't for that issue, we would probably stay again.

Cozy little cabin in the woods!

We loved our short stay at Roaring River Retreat! The sound of the river was just what we needed to unwind for a few days. The kitchen is well stocked, so we were able to cook some lovely meals with relative ease.

Beautiful home on Sandy River

The location is absolutely gorgeous. A small path at the back of the yard takes you to a secluded beach and river access. Home is very nice, clean and has everything you could need for a awesome vacation. Very dog friendly. Stays nice and cool in the summer.

Relaxing

This is our second time staying at the Roaring River Retreat and once again we had a great experience. The cabin is relaxing and cozy and clean. It is nice to be able to walk the property and see the river so closely. It is close to several coffee shops and hikes. We loved our stay and look forward to another one next year!

Fantastic Ambience. Secondary sleeping options lacking

House well maintained. Can hear the river from the house. Walk to river requires crossing a few minor obstacles, but it's relatively easy and definitely worth it.

I booked this Cabin for our Anniversary, we have stayed in Welches area multiple times and loved the area. This is our first time staying on the north side of the highway and we’re surprised (not in a good way) how much different the neighborhoods are. I want to be sensitive since I know this is someone’s home however, I need to be Frank and honest so other customers are aware. The drive way pulling in is very rough, in fact google will take you through a patchy neighborhood road with abandoned cabins and mix use properties. Very uneasy, we spent an hour trying to get into the property since the wrong access code was provided via email and text. Once we were in we realized property cannot sleep more than 3

Fantastic Weekend - We will be back!

The house was beautiful and perfectly located. The kitchen is fully stocked with a microwave, dishwasher, blender etc. We bought groceries and ate two meals at nearby locations, but the best part was feeling at home at the house. The decor is beautiful and planned from the themed tiles on the wall, to the wood cut sculptures, blankets and even the built in bottle opener on the front porch. The house has great energy. I came home feeling recharged, but could have stayed a full week and not just a weekend.

Great River Front Getaway

Overall very clean. Cobwebs on the lamp. The small bed is very uncomfortable. A soft topper would take care of that problem. Master bed is awesome!! Great stove and refrigerator! Nice view from the master and dining room. Looks just like the photos. There’s a great walking pathway at the river. Go left. Had a super nice time there!

The cabin had cobwebs and spiders behind the tables and fireplace. The kitchen floor was dirty and had gunk on the floor. There was mice poop under the kitchen sink and the tea kettle was covered in grease slatters. The rugs were also dirty. The dishes weren't dry and had water on them. The path to the river is barely passable and there was no view of the river from the cabin. I have pictures to post although a couple of the pics didn't turn out well enough to pist. Otherwise we loved the property and would love to stay again if it's clean. Very disappointing to have to get there and have to clean.

Smoked Out

I'll give high marks to the property, but unfortunately the area wildfires created so much smoke that we had to cut short our stay from four nights to one night. When we arrived, the AQI was over 215 and we could not open any windows. The next morning we drove up to a pass and could barely see the mountain through the smoke. AN FYI as smoky summers appear to be the new "normal" - the current policy does not recognize the effects of area wildfires as an acceptable reason to receive a refund on the property. Hopefully we can return some day to hike the area. If that occurs, we would consider staying here.

Cute and secluded

This is a cute cabin and very secluded, but it wasn’t great for us. The house is very clean. Kitchen is very nice. The backyard fire area by river is lovely. The problems we had is the road to the house is terrible and the neighborhood was not the nicest. The loft is not a bedroom, it is connected to the master with no door. The loft bed is unsleepable. It’s caves when you sit on it and squeaks really loud. There is not Tv of any kind. The hosts were great and the house was very clean, just wasn’t meeting our needs.

A little disappointed

The stay was quite and peaceful but it would have been nice to know that there was no TV or at least a radio . Sitting on the porch is nice for the first hour but the photos are deceiving, there is no view because it's so overgrown you can hear the river but can't see it even though it 50 yards away. The wooden bench gets to ya quick and after the bear tore into the shed while we was there sitting on the porch didn't seam like that bright of an idea. Inside is as what one would expect from a cabin if your ok with sitting there staring at the walls it's great but not for three days. Granite we was there during summer in a ski town . We ended up leaving a day early because of the bordum. Bed was comfy but no AC and everything was clean and if it was there it worked as it should.
