Escape to this dream cabin in the woods with a private hot tub and river views. Located in Rhododendron right on the Sandy River, this beautiful abode is less than 25 miles from the slopes of Mt. Hood, where you'll find world-class skiing and snowboarding! This stunning region provides many options for year-round outdoor activities, such as hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and swimming! Rhododendron is truly a mountain town with a few outdoor-friendly restaurants, bars, and a grocery store. The nearby towns of Welches, Brightwood, and Government Camp provide more mountainside fun, like lookout points and places to kayak and fish.

Day trips are also a great option from here - the Columbia River Gorge is about 30 miles away, with world-famous windsurfing, kite surfing, and stunning views of waterfalls and mountains. The town of Hood River provides several brewery options and plenty of festivals and events year-round.

Outside on the deck is a picnic table, patio furniture, and a gas grill where you can whip up a barbecue feast. Down the hill by the river, there's a hammock, firepit, and several swings where the kids can play.

This home is outfitted with timber beams and woodsy decorations to create a lodge-like vibe. The living area is warm and spacious, with slanted wooden ceilings and natural lighting. Sink into one of the leather sofas and watch a favorite DVD on the TV. The full kitchen is charming, with complementing patchwork wood cabinets and an adorable breakfast nook in the corner where you can sip coffee and admire the forest views! There's also a private washer/dryer and WiFi for total comfort.

This Mt. Hood vacation rental has something for everyone in your group to enjoy!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely cabin! It was clean and well maintained and stocked. The hot tub, river access, hammock, and swing were enjoyed by our whole family! We wished our stay was longer and we would return in a heartbeat.

Wonderful, relaxing getaway by the river is what we needed! Beautiful, cozy cabin with updated bath and kitchen had all the conveniences to make it enjoyable. Spent a chunk of time on the expansive deck watching (and hearing) the river flow by. Remote but convenient to town. Nice! Will plan to stay again.

Great location, the house is ok

We loved the location and that it is so quiet & the river was so serene. The house is ok though some areas have weird smells. The animal heads are a bit too much, in fact way too much. Did not like that part at all. The house is very dark. However, we did a lot of hiking and outdoor activities so all in all it was good. But I must say the quality & ambiance of the house does not justify the steep price.

A little piece of heaven on earth

Pros:Very relaxing place to rest, mediate, cook and sleep with the sounds of the river and nature.Cons:The septic system its in need of urgent repairs. Toilets wont flush properly. The trophies on the walls are smelly and sad to look at.I would absolutely recommend this place to friends and family.

The location was excellent specially being on the river. Very peaceful & serene. However, the house left much to be desired. There was septic tank smells in a few places in the house. The animal heads & skins on the walls were way too much. It seemed like they tried to fill the walls and overdid it. This part was the most undesirable. In fact if we had to do this again we would not pick this place. Overall it was clean. Luckily we were only three of us so the space was enough. We did a lot of hiking & outdoor activities so we’re not home too much. All in all for the quality of the house the price was too steep.

Great mountain home!

This house is tucked in near the main highway, but far enough away to hear no highway noise. It also has a 100 foot walk down to the river with a private sitting area right next to it with a hammock! Beautiful and relaxing!!

Fun Cabin Weekend

Super cute property with gorgeous river views. I rented the place for a birthday weekend with friends and we had a great time. The location is fantastic and even though the place is close to the road, it doesn’t feel that way with the river so close. A few pieces of feedback: a real sponge would’ve been nice to do dishes (we were left with only a magic eraser), and the two top bunks need new slats which would make the beds much more comfortable. Also, make sure you check the hot tub right when you arrive, if it can take a while to heat if it needs to be restarted.

Beautiful River View

Our summer stay was great! We spent most of our time outside on the deck, in the hot tub, or exploring the river. The sound of the river was incredibly relaxing. Other reviews have mentioned the hot water having a smell & the house not being super clean but we had a great time anyway. We would love to come back & stay again!

We loved that the river ran right behind the house. It's too bad the water in the house smells so bad.

Cabin paradise

If you want the coziest cabin this place is amazing. Partner and I stayed here for 2 nights and loved going from the hot tub to the water for cold plunges and then back to the hot tub! Get yourself some firewood and plan to get snuggly in mt cabin vibes!!

Forest oasis

A quaint, clean, quiet, well appropriated cabin in the woods. The kitchen had everything you’d need and the smart TV and WiFi was surprisingly fast. We really enjoyed morning coffee on the deck and afternoons sitting down by the river. Our dogs had a blast. You can’t see or hear the neighbors making you feel like you’re alone in the woods. We’ve already booked our next visit.

Cozy and rustic cabin

This was a cozy and rustic cabin surrounded by beautiful scenery. It was a bit difficult to find at first but once we found it we ended up enjoyed our stay. We loved the short walk down to the river and how peaceful it was. One member of our party uses a walker and was able to move around the home easily however the bathroom with the walk-in shower is quite small, just a heads up for anyone that might need to use the walk in shower due to physical disabilities.

Perfect getaway cabin

The cabin was clean, esthetically pleasing, I could see and hear the river from the back deck. I didn't see or hear my neighbors. There are shops and restaurants close by. Timberline is just a 30 minute drive. This was a perfect getaway. Will definitely come back soon.

A tradition unlike any other

We've been coming to this cabin for almost a decade. It's our fall getaway location of choice. The cabin has neighbors, but it feels very private and secluded thanks to the trees and geography. We've tried other properties in the area, but nothing compares to this one for us. We love the river access and back deck. There is an amazing dining table in its own section of the main room and a small breakfast nook. This place has all the amenities we need, and it really feels comfortable in all parts of the cabin. The hot tub and back deck area feel private and spacious. Over the years we've seen nice improvements, including updated kitchen appliances and a dishwasher. We're very excited to see the fireplace get fixed. We look forward to this trip every year, and a big part of that is how great this cabin fits our needs.
