Find a beautiful, spacious family home at this four-bedroom Rhododendron escape, a secluded, dog-friendly getaway with a private hot tub and firepit, an expansive wrap-around deck, and an ideal location for hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing on the slopes of Mt. Hood.

This tranquil, two-level home sits on five private acres in Mt. Hood National Forest, within earshot of the rushing Sandy River 300 feet to the south. Go snowshoeing and cross-country skiing right from your yard, find nearby access to the spectacular trails to Ramona Falls and Horseshoe Ridge, and pass the winter months on the slopes of Mt. Hood Skibowl (15 miles east), Timberline Lodge and Ski Area (21 miles east), and Mt. Hood Meadows (26 miles east).

Follow the third-of-a-mile driveway (which requires a high-clearance 4WD vehicle in the winter) to find your own private base camp, where you can curl up with a board game or a good book after a day in the great outdoors. Kick back on the leather sofa with the DISH cable remote, warm up with the gas fireplace, and use the free WiFi to monitor the ski conditions on Mt. Hood.

Begin each morning with freshly ground coffee from Mt. Hood Roasters in Rhododendron, flip pancakes in the full kitchen (with a dishwasher), and gather around the immense dining room table to make plans for the day. Spend summer afternoons walking your dog on Lolo Pass Road (please note that a nightly pet fee applies), soaking in the sunshine and views of Mount Hood on the wrap-around deck, and preparing the gas grill for a family barbecue. Roast marshmallows for dessert around the outdoor firepit, and end the evening with some unforgettable stargazing in the private hot tub (with an umbrella for use in every season).

Make your next family reunion or group getaway a memorable one - begin a new family tradition at this wonderful Rhododendron home!
