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!

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!

Cute, rustic cabin
Our family of 6 (kids age 16, 12, 9, 5) stayed here for 3 nights while exploring the Mt Hood area. The cabin is very rustic & cute, but not so much elegant. Some of the furniture & linens are showing signs of needing to be replaced & it would have been nice to have some plastic glasses/cups for the kids & out in the hot tub. Hot tub was a big hit & being able to relax in it while listening to the river was perfect. The location of the cabin was awesome with the river right in the backyard next to the fire pit & some yummy restaurants a few minutes away. One thing to note is there are a lot of stone steps down to the river/fire pit that can get a bit slippery & scary in the dark. Definitely need to use flashlights or lanterns to safely get down/up at night. Overall our family enjoyed our stay.

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!!

Amazing location under the trees
This is a great rustic cabin on the river. The location is amazing and perfect for the 4 of us. The cabin is definitely older. The weather was warm so it was great to have the doors open and hear the river. People complained about the smell of the water but I think that’s just the way it smells there on the river. We brought bottled water and water jugs. There were a couple bags of ice in the freezer for us which was nice. If you love being outdoors and hiking, this is the place for you!

Beware of Bears
Got home today from a 5-day stay. The fireplace is not in working condition. Fills the place with smoke. Lack of extra blankets. You have to stand in a certain place to use the remote for the TV. Very. small kitchen and when running hot water in the sink smells like sewer. We also had to clean up garbage every day because a black bear came to the cabin and tore up the cans. The garbage wasn't ours. Left by previous visitors. Made the best out of it and did have a good time but disappointed.

Nice but...
The property itself is excellent. The location on the river WOW!!, the cabin itself, and of course the hot tub on the deck! The gas range and the grill on the deck were definite pluses. The cabin was very clean and accommodating. It was "a bit rough around the edges" in that it showed the wear and tear of its age. But nothing that we did not expect or mind in this price range. Speaking of age, the one factor the kept us from giving it 5 stars were the beds and chairs. Simply put - they were awful, THE worst we have ever encountered in vacation rentals. We could not get a good night's sleep nor find comfortable places to sit and relax - except for the deck chairs. Full disclosure: we are a retired couple in our late 50's and early 60's, so younger folks might not notice this, or care, as much as we did! ;-) Finally we wish management/owners would leave laminated instruction pages for the sound system, TV, and hot tub. Last but not least, extra batteries for the remotes and flashlights. All of them were "dead."

Lovely cabin in the woods
We really enjoyed this cabin in the woods! It was inviting and clean, rustic yet had all the modern amenities we love like a hot tub with a river view, well stocked kitchen and 2 bathrooms. The bunk room was perfect for kids and we all enjoyed the large doors opening onto the deck and that view! The layout of the cabin is great too with a big table for gathering at and a nice main room. When we first arrived the hot tub wasn't heating, but we heard back immediately via text and were able to reset it by flipping the breaker. Very happy with this property and our stay.

cozy, private, and relaxing
everything was great! I read some reviews talking about the cleanliness, but I didn't feel that was an issue for us. it seemed very clean, dishes were easy to find, and the hot tub worked perfectly. I will say they could use a new mattress in the main room though. my husband and I sort of rolled into each other towards the center. I am pregnant though, so I may have been a bit more uncomfortable than the typical person. also, there was the tiniest hole in the window in the bedroom! you could feel the breeze coming in through it. it wasn't big enough to make the room chilly. but still concerning had it been snowing or something. all in all, I'd definitely stay here again! it was cute and cozy, just what we were looking for.

Cute cabin in a great location
We loved our time at this cabin. The location is amazing and you can hear the river running from the bedrooms and the living room. We loved the doors that open up onto the deck and the deck itself. So many spaces to sit outside and enjoy the property! Two small things - we weren't able to get the barbeque to light and the bed in the main bedroom was very squeaky. Overall though, a great rental!
