Spend your days skiing, hiking, and fishing when you book a getaway to this riverfront home with a private deck, an outdoor fireplace, and a gorgeous location on the banks of the Sandy River. Wonderfully situated in a woodland neighborhood in Rhododendron, this rustic and elegant two-level home is less than six miles from the Resort at the Mountain's golf courses, 15 miles from Mt. Hood Skibowl, 21 miles from the Timberline Lodge and Ski Area, and 26 miles from Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort.
Once featured in the pages of Better Homes and Gardens, this warm and lofty home makes a comfortable escape for small families and groups of friends looking to enjoy the beauty of Mt. Hood. With two-story ceilings and a stunning wall of windows that frame the forest and the Sandy River, the living space is full of thoughtful and homey details. Curl up with a novel on the sofa, or enjoy an afternoon game of Scrabble in the warmth of the wood-burning fireplace.
And although the tempting dishes at the Rendezvous Grill are only five miles away, you'll cook comfortably in the open and well-equipped full kitchen. Grind your own Mt. Hood Roasters coffee beans each morning and enjoy family breakfasts at the farmhouse dining table.
As the sun sets each evening, pour yourself a glass of wine and soak in the sweeping river views on the back deck. Feeling a bit cold? You'll find an outdoor fireplace for those chilly mountain nights.
To make your stay all the more relaxing and convenient, Alder Wood is equipped with a private washer/dryer. This home also has a TV and DVD player. Upstairs, you'll find two loft-style adjoining bedrooms with one queen bed and one twin bed, although a door does not separate them. WiFi is also provided.
Escape to the serene beauty of this natural wonderland - reserve your Mt. Hood vacation rental today!
