Clean, Comfy & Quiet – A Perfect Mountain Getaway

We had such a great stay here! Super clean and comfortable. We all felt at home right away. The hot tub was clean and toasty, simply splendid. This was great in the evening after a long day of hiking. We loved the nature path down to the river area. The down comforters were super cozy, and mornings with coffee on the front porch and birds singing… couldn’t ask for it better. Quiet, relaxing, and just a really beautiful place. Highly recommend!

What a Beautiful Home

What a beautiful stay. We loved the hot tub and the clear partial awning to view the night sky while listening to the river sounds. This place is great! Frosty mugs in freezer. Super clean. Really nice furnishings. Excellent new mattresses. Sleep number bed in master. Plenty of kitchen "stuff" for cooking. A sweet yard to sit in. The cool meadow down back, and an excellent spot by the river. Great host.

Nice mnt house

House was easy to get to, located in a neighborhood. Outdoor space is lovely and hot tub was very nice and clean. This spot might not be the best for families with young kids, there were breakable personal items of the owners that were labeled with very expensive costs to replace.. check out the Wildwood recreation site nearby! Only 4Mins from the house.

Lovely home amongst the trees

A quiet neighborhood, a lovely home with lots to do, a wonderfully well put together vacation home. The hot tub was great and the host was easy to communicate with and allowed us a late checkout which was the perfect compliment to our weekend. He even ordered snow for our stay and the fireplace made lovely ambiance. We loved all the games and cozy blankets and beds and we'd love to come back.

Lots of Room, Clean, comfortable and great location

The Sandy River Ski House is a great place to stay while exploring the Mt. Hood area. The place is large, very comfortable beds, a good hot tub, kitchen is good and the outside area is very nice. The house is very close to restaurants, groceries, and many really good hikes. I would recommend this place and would stay again when in the area.

Short stay in Mt. Hood

We arrived at the house a couple of days late due to “crowd strike” and cancelled flights. David was so nice and easy to communicate with. He let us stay another day due to our late arrival. We loved the area and the house and grounds are exactly as shown. He gave us good info on hikes and restaurants

A beautiful place to stay near the Sandy river

The house was quite nice, clean, and the owner was very helpful while not being obtrusive during our stay. Wood for the fireplace and stove was in abundance and a nice surprise relative to other places we have stayed. Thank you for having us and our dogs at your beautiful property.

About the host

Hosted by David j Comerford

Hi, I have owned a vacation home for the past 35 years. I enjoy having my wife, adult son and our friends share our lovely home with us. We are outdoor enthusiasts. We love to ski, raft, hike, backpack, swim etc.. Friends love to join us at the Sandy River Ski House for fun, relaxation, sitting around the fireplace and in the kitchen making yummy meals.

Why they chose this property

It is next to the river (200') with easy access to all the fun stuff to do on Mount Hood. Just a short 50 minute ride from Portland and we can be sitting on the porch sipping tea and listening to the sounds of the river through the large fir trees.

What makes this property unique

The house is situated in an older quiet and peaceful neighborhood. There is easy access to the main road for all your summer or winter outdoor activities.
