Hunter's Haven
The Space:
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!

Great property for a family trip. This cabin felt secluded with the woods and river but was easily accessible. It had modern amenities and was well stocked including shampoo and conditioner (which you don’t always get in a VRBO). We spent lazy days on the back deck watching trees and listening to the river. Love that we could bring our dog too. Would def recommend!

Thank you, Jessica, for sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed the cabin's secluded feel while still being easily accessible. It’s wonderful that you appreciated the modern amenities and the thoughtful touches like the shampoo and conditioner. We believe that little details can make a big difference in your stay.
Spending lazy days on the back deck sounds like the perfect way to unwind, and we’re glad you could bring your dog along to enjoy the beautiful surroundings too. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we would love to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway whenever you're ready.
4 adults and 3 boys 9 and under. Plenty of space and privacy for us all and we brought our Heeler. Two level property, house up on a hill with fire pit and river below. Super cute 1920's cabin with modern upgrades.
The rustic cabin was the perfect vacation spot in Rhododendron for our family of five. It’s close to exceptional hiking trails and idyllically situated in the woods with a rushing stream in the backyard that’s lovelier than the pictures capture! The cabin itself is clean with a well stocked kitchen for real cooking, a large table to eat together, games to play, and comfy furniture for the crew to relax in at the end of the day after hot tubbing. It was exactly what we wanted and more; we hope to return in the future!The host was super friendly, proactive in providing necessary rental information, and quick and responsive to all questions asked. I only caution future renters to consider purchasing the rental insurance for the summer months. -Just before we arrived the local govt issued a level 1 evacuation order in Rhododendron because of the Grasshopper fires. Given that was a safety issue outside our control, I inquired about cancelling if that order were to continue on our dates. The host responded that they heard my concerns, but we would lose all our money without the insurance and per the rental agreement. Fortunately for us, by the time we arrived the order had been lifted and there was no need to reconsider our plans at a big financial loss. I’m sharing because I would hate for others to naively end up in that situation.
