Been wanting to escape to that dream cabin in the woods? This pet-friendly Rhododendron vacation rental is the perfect place for a woodland retreat! With a private hot tub, river views, firepit, and room for up to seven people, this home is ideal for your mountain escape.

Located in Rhododendron right on the Sandy River, this beautiful abode is less than 30 minutes away from the slopes of Mt. Hood where you'll find world-class skiing and snowboarding! This stunning region provides plenty of options for outdoor activities all year-round, such as hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and swimming! Plus, with other local mountain towns nearby, there's access to bars and restaurants, as well as the city life just an hour or so away.

Outfitted with timber beams, woodsy decorations, and a lodge-like vibe, this home feels like your own private mountain cabin!

The living room is warm and spacious, with slanted wooden ceilings, a large stone fireplace, and lots of natural lighting. Sink into one of the leather couches and heat up by the fire, or watch a favorite DVD on the flatscreen TV in the corner. The animal skins mounted on the walls will remind you how close you are to nature, and the solid wood dining table on the far end of the room has room for up to seven people to share a pot roast or couple bottles of wine together as the temperature cools outside.

Around the corner, the full kitchen is charming with complementing patchwork-wood cabinets, red curtains, and blue countertops where you can prepare a fantastic meal. With hanging pots and pans, wine glasses, and coffee cups, this well-stocked kitchen has a place for everything. There's even an adorable breakfast nook in the corner where you can sip coffee and admire the forest views!

There are two bedrooms in this retreat, but plenty of places to sleep! The master has lovely light green walls with fresh wooden floors and furniture, as well as a delightful queen-size bed you can sink into. The second bedroom is great for friends or a few kids to squeeze into with two bunk beds - two twins and one twin-over-full. With the futon in the living room, this home can accommodate up to seven people. There are also two full bathrooms here with fresh towels provided, so no one will have to stand around too long in the mornings!

Outside on the deck there's a picnic table and patio furniture, as well as a gas grill where you can whip up a barbecue feast. Located on a hillside and surrounded by beautiful forest, this home is secluded and comfortable with the sound of the river trickling nearby. Plus, the private hot tub will definitely call to you after a day of outdoor adventuring! Down the hill by the river there's a hammock, firepit, and several swings where the kids can play. This home is dog-friendly, so for an additional pet fee, you can bring the family dogs to run around in the backyard. There's even a private washer/dryer and WiFi in this house for total comfort.

Rhododendron is truly a mountain town with a few outdoor-friendly restaurants and bars, as well as a grocery store and coffee shops where you can get some shopping done. The nearby towns of Welches, Brightwood, and Government Camp all provide more mountainside fun, and this entire area is surrounded by hiking trails, viewpoints, campgrounds, and places to kayak and fish. Mt. Hood's skiing and snowboarding resorts such as Timberline Lodge, SkiBowl, and Meadows are all within about a 30-minute drive, so this home is perfect for the pow-hounds in your group who just want easy access to the mountain.

Day trips are also a great option from here - the Columbia River Gorge is just an hour away with world-famous windsurfing, kite surfing, and absolutely stunning views of waterfalls and mountains. The town of Hood River provides several brewery and restaurant options, and there are plenty of festivals and events happening all year round. Of course, you can also venture to the city of Portland (about an hour west) for more incredible dining options, or maybe some urban outings or sporting events like a Blazers or Timbers game.

Whether you're relaxing in your lodge getaway or enjoying the great outdoors, this Mt. Hood vacation rental has something for everyone in your group to enjoy!
