Barlow Creekside Lodge



The Space:

Nestled alongside the Sandy River, this beautiful Mt. Hood vacation rental offers plenty of peace and quiet near the friendly community of Rhododendron. Perfect for a family ski-cation, this secluded home offers rustic, lodge decor, a sunroom with a forest view, a full kitchen, a wood stove, a creekside picnic table, and a large, wraparound deck with a gas grill.



This home is only a short drive from the Mt. Hood Scenic Byway and well-known restaurants like the Rendezvous and the ZigZag Inn. Guests can golf at the nearby Mt.
