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 very peaceful and beautiful. All the recent upgrades were very nice and we enjoyed the well stocked kitchen and the spacious shower! We loved the wood carved bears, and all the rustic touches that gave it a very cozy feel. The wraparound cover deck was an added bonus to sit outside and listen to the Sandy River!! we even had a visit from a beautiful deer! Thank you for a wonderful time! Definitely will recommend your home!

The location was awesome! It's near the river so we could fish and simply sit near it to relax. Bring your own chairs.The outdoor fire pit was fantastic. Bring your own wood. Everything inside was comfortable and the kitchen had what we needed to cook. I had 2 frustrations.1. I sent 3 messages through the VRBO inbox a week in advance and received zero response from Avari Management. I finally googled the company (there was no phone number listed in VRBO) and called them to get my questions answered. 2. When we arrived (after dark) the digital entry code didn't work. When we called them after 8 pm, they helped us locate the lockbox key to open the door.

We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the awesome location by the river, where fishing and relaxing are just steps away. The outdoor fire pit is indeed a great spot to unwind, and we appreciate the heads-up about bringing your own chairs and wood. It sounds like you made the most of your time here, and we love that the kitchen had everything you needed for cooking. We sincerely apologize for the communication issues you experienced before your arrival. It’s important to us that our guests feel supported, and we’re sorry we fell short in that regard. We’re also glad our team was able to assist you with the entry code after hours. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll work on improving our response times to ensure a smoother experience for future guests. We hope you’ll consider visiting us again to enjoy more of what this beautiful area has to offer.
