Annual Family Trip
We take an annual family trip to this general area of Mt. Hood each summer. There are 14 of us ranging from age 6-82! Out of all the houses we have stayed at over the years this one has been our favorite by far! There were so many activities to do within the neighborhood, and lots of hiking and other outings near by. The river was very accessible, even for the oldest in our group. The house was very clean and with a well stocked kitchen. We would definitely stay again!

Absolutely amazing experience!
My husband and I renewed our vows on Mt. Hood with our closest friends and their families, after getting married under Covid restrictions in 2021. We stayed in Chris' cabin with a big group that included eight adults and four young children/babies and fit very comfortably. The cabin was perfect in every way -- fully stocked with everything you could ever need, with spacious living and dining spaces, and a huge deck with an incredible view of the mountains and access to the Sandy River just below. The VHS machine and collection of old cassette tapes in the kids' bunk room was a great touch, as was the jacuzzi on the deck! Chris was such a kind and generous host who responded quickly and went out of his way to accommodate us. This home is truly perfect for a family vacation. I recommend it to everyone and am already planning the next group trip here!

The perfect reunion spot
My 4 siblings and I along with our families had a 5 day celebration of life and family reunion at this gorgeous location in the Sandy River. The house was perfect with lots of room for people to spread out either inside or outside. The bedrooms were amazingly quiet from the rest of the house; all you could hear was the river from your open windows.

Great for all ages!
We booked this house because of it's proximity to the river and the ability to house THREE families (6 adults, 6 kids). When we got there, we were even more impressed with the neighborhood itself- the pool, the swings, and the proximity to fishing/hiking/swimming for the kids. We never ran out of things to do! My favorite part of the house was the huge dining table, which we sat around each night and really enjoyed some fabulous family dinners- plus the massage chair was a nice added bonus. We would've loved a slightly earlier check in time (with young kiddos) but recognize that Ms. Linda (the wonderful woman who cleans the house) has a ton of work to do in order to get it ready. That was really the ONLY thing I would improve. Thank you for such a wonderful stay! We would love to visit again :)

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!

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!

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!
