Roaring River Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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.

Roaring River Retreat doesn’t disappoint!
We have stayed here before and love it. The place is well stocked, clean and decorated nicely. It is homey and comfortable. It’s perfect for my husband and I. We will book again.

Relaxing
This is our second time staying at the Roaring River Retreat and once again we had a great experience. The cabin is relaxing and cozy and clean. It is nice to be able to walk the property and see the river so closely. It is close to several coffee shops and hikes. We loved our stay and look forward to another one next year!

Fantastic Weekend - We will be back!
The house was beautiful and perfectly located. The kitchen is fully stocked with a microwave, dishwasher, blender etc. We bought groceries and ate two meals at nearby locations, but the best part was feeling at home at the house. The decor is beautiful and planned from the themed tiles on the wall, to the wood cut sculptures, blankets and even the built in bottle opener on the front porch. The house has great energy. I came home feeling recharged, but could have stayed a full week and not just a weekend.

Fantastic Ambience. Secondary sleeping options lacking
House well maintained. Can hear the river from the house. Walk to river requires crossing a few minor obstacles, but it's relatively easy and definitely worth it.

Cozy cabin with steep stairs going up to bedroom. Best stocked kitchen I've ever seen--all equipment necessary to prepare a lavish dinner. Saw a big deer outside the first day!

Smoked Out
I'll give high marks to the property, but unfortunately the area wildfires created so much smoke that we had to cut short our stay from four nights to one night. When we arrived, the AQI was over 215 and we could not open any windows. The next morning we drove up to a pass and could barely see the mountain through the smoke. AN FYI as smoky summers appear to be the new "normal" - the current policy does not recognize the effects of area wildfires as an acceptable reason to receive a refund on the property. Hopefully we can return some day to hike the area. If that occurs, we would consider staying here.

A little disappointed
The stay was quite and peaceful but it would have been nice to know that there was no TV or at least a radio . Sitting on the porch is nice for the first hour but the photos are deceiving, there is no view because it's so overgrown you can hear the river but can't see it even though it 50 yards away. The wooden bench gets to ya quick and after the bear tore into the shed while we was there sitting on the porch didn't seam like that bright of an idea. Inside is as what one would expect from a cabin if your ok with sitting there staring at the walls it's great but not for three days. Granite we was there during summer in a ski town . We ended up leaving a day early because of the bordum. Bed was comfy but no AC and everything was clean and if it was there it worked as it should.

Beautiful home on Sandy River
The location is absolutely gorgeous. A small path at the back of the yard takes you to a secluded beach and river access. Home is very nice, clean and has everything you could need for a awesome vacation. Very dog friendly. Stays nice and cool in the summer.

Cozy little cabin in the woods!
We loved our short stay at Roaring River Retreat! The sound of the river was just what we needed to unwind for a few days. The kitchen is well stocked, so we were able to cook some lovely meals with relative ease.

Great River Front Getaway
Overall very clean. Cobwebs on the lamp. The small bed is very uncomfortable. A soft topper would take care of that problem. Master bed is awesome!! Great stove and refrigerator! Nice view from the master and dining room. Looks just like the photos. There’s a great walking pathway at the river. Go left. Had a super nice time there!

Cute and secluded
This is a cute cabin and very secluded, but it wasn’t great for us. The house is very clean. Kitchen is very nice. The backyard fire area by river is lovely. The problems we had is the road to the house is terrible and the neighborhood was not the nicest. The loft is not a bedroom, it is connected to the master with no door. The loft bed is unsleepable. It’s caves when you sit on it and squeaks really loud. There is not Tv of any kind. The hosts were great and the house was very clean, just wasn’t meeting our needs.

Great getaway
This house is great escape for one person or a small family. It felt cozy and private, tucked in to the trees with access to the water, which you could hear from the whole house. Pros - stocked kitchen - sounds of water and access - Great deck - good air flow for cooling the house at night - secluded - very comfortable bed Cons - a couple fixes would be helpful - bumpy road in, not a big deal if you don't care about those things - could use a good clean Dear Vacasa, here are a couple of things to fix - drain in bath doesn't work - can opener broken - lint trap needs cleaned from house to outside

The sound of the river was amazing!
We loved our weekend at Roaring River Retreat. The sound of the river and smell of the forest were amazing! We enjoyed stargazing at night and a daytrip to Trullium lake. On the downside, from the pics on line we thought we'd have better access to the river. Also the steps to the loft are super steep.

Great cabin!
The two of us stayed in late July and it was even better than we expected. Pros: 1) We could hear the river from our bedroom. That is a very soothing way to go to sleep. 2) The kitchen has a nice stove, microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker. There is plenty of counter space and it was clean when we arrived. 3) Having a 1/2 bath adjacent to the bedroom meant we didn't have to go downstairs during the night, which is very nice. 4) There's a mud room where you can take off your shoes, and it has a door so you can close it off from the rest of the house. That's part of the secret to keeping it clean. Cons: 1) I could do without the spider webs (some occupied, some not). They were all up high, but it was creepy to me, so we got rid of several. I could tell this would be a constant battle based on the surroundings, so it's not a huge deal, but a little more attention in that area would be good. 2) The dining room table and chairs are really large, so we felt like kids eating at the grown-up table, even though we are 5'8'' and 6'0. Again, not a big deal, but less tall people might find it inconvenient.

Nice place, hear river, clean!
Loved the location because we wanted more remote place and there are paths along the river. We crossed a small break off from the river to get to a mostly rocky yet has some to sit on next to the river. We enjoyed all the 🌲! House is cute, clean, excellent kingsized bed. The top matress of trundle bed was a little soft for our taste but not too bad. We didn’t try the trundle. Very clean and very easy checkout. The plug to the tub wouldn’t stay closed whether we pushed down or twisted it. Maybe there is another way to do it. Kitchen is great! Regular sized washer and dryer were nice. We would definitely come again and we recommend it to those that want a quieter nature place to stay.

Disliked: Check-in, communication
Not what expected but okay for what it is
If you were using this place as a base to rest while you drove to nearby areas, it would be fine. You could technically sleep 6 people here but it would be without privacy as there are no doors separating the rooms. The road to get to the house was full of potholes Decor was consistently cabin themed Mud room was convenient to unload bags Furniture has a strong dog smell Big comfy chair with lamp is perfect reading nook Kitchen has lots of dishes and cookware but could not find dry measuring cups anywhere "A private library" is a stretch - there are a few books scattered throughout the house but not close to a library There were a number of board games but almost every one was missing game pieces or instructions Wifi was strong enough to stream movies Bedroom had a monitor with no power cord Loft area had a drawer of dvds but no dvd player found Outside furniture and patios needed to be wiped down from debris and cobwebs - didn't use the outdoor furniture because of this You also can't see the water from the front porch but you can hear it. Yard is extremely overgrown - not able to utilize at all You can walk down to the river on a path but no where to sit down there and no trails accessible from the property itself Not sure how you would fit 2 vehicles here Check in and check out times don't allow for whole days to stay It was a hot summer day but the house stayed relatively cool Fire pit chairs had something spilled on them (chocolate maybe?) Fire pit had a lot of debri and garbage - looked like it had never been cleaned out Large pile of dirt on coaster next to king size bed Mold on shower curtain liner Lots of cobwebs inside the house Electric kettle unclean inside Gas grill rusted out and unusable Customer service at check in was confusing and inconsistent. We were told we would have a delayed check-in while we were on our way to the property but then received notification at the exact check in time that we could check in as scheduled.
