Live, Laugh, Love (TM)

We lived. We laughed. And we loved. Just a group of fellas who enjoyed the cozy and spacious accommodations. Grillin’, hot tubbin’, and enjoyin’ the fabulous view of the river were just what we needed after strenuous days of hiking the bodacious trails of Mt. Hood National Forest. Bathroom facilities were fabulous. The plethora of kitchen appliances were top notch. And there were ample craft supplies. Chris’ communication was fast and cheerful. Just wish the N64 wasn’t missing the TV connection cable ;)

Lovely home

Lovely property! It had everything that we needed except we had some difficulty with WiFi. However since we did not miss it too much we did not check in with owner about it so could be user error. There were some meandering trails within the neighbourhood but if you want a longer hiking trail, you will need to drive a bit. The home was well looked after and has a spectacular view!

Amazing Place to Stay

We really enjoyed our stay! We planned to do a lot of activities in the area, but the property was so nice and relaxing that we ended up spending more time there just hanging out with the kids and relaxing. The river access, the views, and the sound of the rushing water were amazing. Connectivity was slow in general, but that was very helpful in getting the kids off their devices!

River Retreat

“This place is perfect”… I heard that phrase several times as our group of 9 enjoyed a visioning retreat in this well provisioned, well cared for Lodge. The Host and Caretaker were attentive to our inquiries and needs, clearly communicative and friendly. The setting is powerful, with the Sandy River a steady inspiring presence, conveying a sense of natural wonder. We are grateful for the experiences we enjoyed in the sanctuary of the Lodge.

Beautiful View, Large House

This past weekend, we had 12 people, adults and kids, enjoy a wonderful three days at this property. This house sits in a wonderful location and the view of the Sandy River is gorgeous. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and is very secure. We enjoyed all of the space and multiple bedrooms for all the families. This house is equipped with everything you need in the kitchen and linen closets. We would love to enjoy this house in the summer season too. The communication with the owners and House Cleaner were very prompt and supportive.

Great place and amazing location!

We had our first "friends giving" in a handful of years here. First time with kids ranging from 4-11. The place was large and spacious, including the kitchen and dining area, perfect for the 5 adults and 3 kids that were there. The access down to the river was great to let the kids run and play and explore the river bank. Will definitely plan on coming back!

Spectacular river access, easy trek to Hood

Great property! It was a perfect place for a couple of families to gather for a weekend on the mountain. The kids loved the bunkbed room, and the parents all loved having their own bedrooms without the kids! The hot tub has a particularly exquisite view of the river and surrounding forest. The house itself was perfect. Great soft carpets and even a massage chair! Would stay here again!

Annual Family Mt Trip

The cabin was beautiful. Everything worked like expected and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and then some. The microwave is top of the line as is the toaster oven. The beds were comfortable and the cabin was spacious enough for everyone. We will be back.

Roomy location for large group

Despite some unfortunate, unpreventable experiences we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this house to others! We had 8 adults and 8 children staying with us, so we had a challenging time finding a space large enough. We're thankful we found this Sandy River house. It was exactly what we wanted - enough space and bathrooms for all 16 of us, amazing view, close to the mountain for sledding and large common areas. We could fit 8-10 at the table easily and the living room has two large couches. Three of the four bedroom are large and while one is smaller, it was not too small. There were 7 twin size beds available in the bunk room. That bunk room also had a tv and vcr with vintage kids movies. While we were there the ice storm hit (on our first day) so we had a treacherous drive. Chris kindly allowed us an earlier check-in so we didn't have to drive in the dark during the storm. Unfortunately, the next morning the power went out and stayed off the entirety of our stay so we had no electricity, no hot water, no WIFI, etc. We used the wood stove to heat the house and it worked beautifully! The wood stove gets hot. Caution to all - don't touch! We made due with all the flashlights they had at the house and got creative with heating food on the wood stove. A few notes: there is sufficient parking for 4 cars, the trail from the house leads down to the river where there is a "beach" which during the snow, was a great place to have a snowball fight.

Wonderful Weekend getaway

Stayed a weekend with friends and spouse and a great time. The view of the river is breathtaking and I love listening to the water. The cabin was just like the pictures and had plenty of room for 6 people. It was the perfect place to have a quiet getaway and still super close by local shops and restaurants. Would definitely come back again!

Wonderful home in PRIME location!

We definitely hope to come back here. This home was spectacular. The home was very clean and well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed for Thanksgiving. The location on the river was literally breath taking. I want to go back in the summer time when we can be outside more. Love this place!

Perfect setting for our reception

This was the perfect location for our tiny wedding reception. The deck alone is reason enough, lots of seating and space with an unbeatable view of the river. Guests kept commenting on what a great find the place was, and making comments on how we’d have to have a friends weekend and rent it again. The owner, Chris, was very quick to respond and helpful. We absolutely would recommend the location.

Perfect Post-Wedding Friend Weekend

This house - the location, the amenities - were absolutely perfect for our friend group of 14. Everyone had a bed to sleep on, the kitchen was extremely well stocked and there was plenty of common space between the living room, dining area and the amazing deck for everyone to spread out. The view and access to the river is just as great as it looks in the photos, and everyone kept commenting that we had picked the perfect place for a relaxing mountain weekend. Thanks, Chris and Melanie!

Stunning Mountain Retreat!

Wow! We usually take our annual girls weekend to the beach but wanted to try somewhere new this time that could accommodate our group of seven. We did not regret our decision! Upon entering the property I immediately noticed it smelled and looked absolutely spotless and clean. The decor is rustic and beautiful, the view is stunning, the beds were warm and inviting and the house had everything we needed including a fully stocked kitchen. The hot tub was hot, relaxing and paired nicely with the blanket of stars and the sounds of the gorgous Sandy River racing below. We spent almost a full day down at the beachy access and small swimming hole, enjoyed home cooked meals, laughs and card games on the expansive deck, and slept like logs. We even saw a bald eagle on our last morning sipping our coffee on the deck. Highly recommend a stay at this beautiful cabin and we definitely plan to return again!

Great house right on the river!

This was a great place to stay at, easily slept 9 adults and 6 little kids. The view from the back deck was great and had easy access to the river. The community pool access was a really nice bonus. Everything was as described in the listing! I wish the check-in time was a little earlier than 5PM, but this was otherwise an exceptional place to stay. We hope to be back again next year!

Friend reunion

Three families gathered for a friend reunion. Plenty of space to spread out- both indoors and outdoors. Kids loved the bunk bed room and the hot tub. The house was a little more dated than expected but overall was a great layout for a big group! One thing that threw us off was, the cleaning lady was still at the house when we arrived (at 5:30pm) and didn’t leave until around 8pm…

About the host

Hosted by Chirs and Melanie Hampton

We bought Sandy River Lodge many years ago and all of those who have visited call it "a little bit of heaven" by the river! Groups during the winter months have stood outside singing Christmas carols as snow fell around them! Others have enjoyed the warm summer month, sunbathing on the deck overlooking the river! A hot tub provides relaxation while the sounds of the river whisk away stress!

Why they chose this property

It is hard to beat this home for large groups looking to gather for any ocassion! Whether skiing, biking, celebrating or gathering for an anniversary, this home provides all you need!

What makes this property unique

This property sits in the heart of Mt. Hood Oregon, a region filled with year round skiing high above a beautiful agricultural valley! Winter offers an array of sporting activities, fine restaurants and cozy times by the fire! Summer is equally busy on the mountain with wine tasting, tours, mountain biking and seemingly endless opportunity to discover the beauty of the mountain and valley!
