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!

A tradition unlike any other
We've been coming to this cabin for almost a decade. It's our fall getaway location of choice. The cabin has neighbors, but it feels very private and secluded thanks to the trees and geography. We've tried other properties in the area, but nothing compares to this one for us. We love the river access and back deck. There is an amazing dining table in its own section of the main room and a small breakfast nook. This place has all the amenities we need, and it really feels comfortable in all parts of the cabin. The hot tub and back deck area feel private and spacious. Over the years we've seen nice improvements, including updated kitchen appliances and a dishwasher. We're very excited to see the fireplace get fixed. We look forward to this trip every year, and a big part of that is how great this cabin fits our needs.

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!

Great mountain home!
This house is tucked in near the main highway, but far enough away to hear no highway noise. It also has a 100 foot walk down to the river with a private sitting area right next to it with a hammock! Beautiful and relaxing!!

Forest oasis
A quaint, clean, quiet, well appropriated cabin in the woods. The kitchen had everything you’d need and the smart TV and WiFi was surprisingly fast. We really enjoyed morning coffee on the deck and afternoons sitting down by the river. Our dogs had a blast. You can’t see or hear the neighbors making you feel like you’re alone in the woods. We’ve already booked our next visit.

We loved that the river ran right behind the house. It's too bad the water in the house smells so bad.

The location is lovely, a beautiful view of the river. The living room furniture was comfortable. There is a bad smell when you take a shower. I had to call Vacasa because the hot tub wasn't heating up. I was told to turn it off and wait 5 minutes and then turn it back on. This worked. I had to do this 3 different times because each time I wanted to use the hot tub it would not heat up without turning it off first. Other than that I enjoyed my stay.

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.

Pretty decent
This place delivered, we appreciated the hot tub, the pet friendliness and the coziness. I will say that the hot tub does clearly need a seasonal clean at this point, there was sand and debris especially because it is under trees & the edge of the roof so even while we were sitting in it, enough blew in. Additionally, the house key & gate key boxes on the outside of the house seem to be mixed up. We had to put the provided house key code into the gate key box to get the house key. This was after the sun had set and it was getting very cold so it was a frustrating start to the visit but fairly smooth after. The hot water does smell sulfery/like rotten eggs which I know is common in vacation homes but it is VERY present so heed that warning if smells bother you. The fireplace also seems to need to be cleaned, we read a hand written tip in the welcome book to open the kitchen door or else the living room fills with smoke while using the fireplace and that was accurate.

Cabin paradise
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!!

Cozy and rustic cabin
This was a cozy and rustic cabin surrounded by beautiful scenery. It was a bit difficult to find at first but once we found it we ended up enjoyed our stay. We loved the short walk down to the river and how peaceful it was. One member of our party uses a walker and was able to move around the home easily however the bathroom with the walk-in shower is quite small, just a heads up for anyone that might need to use the walk in shower due to physical disabilities.

The setting outside was beautiful, but the inside was not very clean, dark and felt different than the photos represented. Lighting in the kitchen is really bad, floors were dirty, leaves and bugs on counters and beds.

Perfect getaway cabin
The cabin was clean, esthetically pleasing, I could see and hear the river from the back deck. I didn't see or hear my neighbors. There are shops and restaurants close by. Timberline is just a 30 minute drive. This was a perfect getaway. Will definitely come back soon.

Great Stay!
This was a great stay overall, cabin was great with the hot tub in the back and the hammock right next to the river it was perfect. The Wi-Fi worked great as well and the beds were comfortable. The only complaint I have is the water smells quite nasty not sure where it’s coming from but the showers and sink smelled very funky when you turned the water on. Other than that amazing stay and would recommend! Go down the road where you turn into the cabin and you can see Mt Hood as well.

Loved the place
Beautiful location, very rustic charm. The hammock by the river sooo relaxing, along with the firepit. Back deck was comfortable, sitting in the hot tub in the evening was nice, though I had to use some tricks as a hot tub owner to keep it running. The house has everything you need except a working can opener. Using a hammer and screw driver is not safe. The dishwasher needs to be replaced, it is barely functional. And the lights in the kitchen need to be replaced, hard to cook when it is so dark. And a warning about the bears would be good. Glad I didn't surprise the one that ate the garbage cans

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!
