Rhododendron, Oregon
Our mountain escape is tucked away out of sight and perched in the trees. A seasonal stream meanders through the property. Our outdoor space features a hot tub, bonfire pit (Solo Stove), picnic table, lounge seating, and a charcoal grill. Inside there are 2 bedrooms, a wood-burning stove, a lofted space with a TV, games, puzzles galore, and a cozy sherpa couch. We have a desk for remote work and A+ WIFI. The Sandy River and miles of trails are mere steps from your door. We do have neighbors!
The space
Curly Creek Cabin was built in 1978 and is named for the sweet sounds of our three curly children playing in the creek behind the house. While we have added modern touches throughout, Curly Creek is an absolutely pristine retro masterpiece and we let it's quirky aesthetic details shine in all of their glory! The interior of the cabin boasts amazing custom woodwork, intricate tiling, original hardwood floors, a wood-burning stove, and a mint condition 1970's JENN-AIR oven & cooktop.
One of our favorite aspects of Curly Creek is not only being within 15 minutes of skiing, hiking, mountain biking, and fly fishing, but you could spend an entire weekend just enjoying the home and neighborhood on foot. Our small, quiet community has miles of trails to explore and direct access to the Sandy River with multiple private beach areas. Pack a picnic and spend the day on the beach, without any of the crowds.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be snow
The house sits at about 1600 FT elevation. Typically we see light snow in January and February. Head 10 minutes up the mountain, and there you will find your serious pow! Make sure to pack chains if you plan on driving up that way come winter. We're 15-20 minutes from Government Camp & Timberline.
Is there wood for the bonfire pit and indoor wood stove
We usually have a pretty good stockpile of wood in and around the house. But, in case it's been depleted, it's a good idea to bring some with you or you can buy it locally roadside or pick some up at Thriftway or any fuel station.
Is there charcoal for the grill
We have a simple Weber charcoal grill. We don't routinely stock charcoal, but if there is some leftover, it's all yours!
Is there an extra charge for dogs
Nope. You are welcome to bring along up to 2 of your well-behaved, quiet, friendly, furry sweethearts. Please do not allow them up on the furniture or in the beds. To make sure they are cozy too, we have provided an array of supplies! We have a dedicated dog blanket and dog bed, a few bones, treats, a food and water bowl, and an extra leash just in case! When walking around outside, please always have your dog leashed.
How is the WIFI Is it enough to Zoom calls, remote learning, and watching Netflix
The WIFI is A+. Quite frankly, we've been so ready to get out of our home in Portland, that we made sure that it was lightening fast so we could do it all. We have a 500MB upload speed. We regularly use it for remote working, online schooling, movies, and gaming.
Other things to note
This cabin is in a small neighborhood, so we do have neighbors.
We have started to do an annual summer Mt trip. Last year Rainier and this year Mt. Hood. The neighborhood and house were so nice that we stayed close most of our trip! Had everything we needed for a relaxing family getaway. Kids loved the upstairs and of course hot tub!
Cozy living space, secluded patio area, convenient location.
We absolutely loved our stay here and we would do it again in a heartbeat. We especially loved the decor, large deck, and hot tub. Our toddler loved playing in the comfy upstairs loft.
Overall the cabin was great and we throughly enjoyed time away.
Area is beautiful. Tons of things to see and do. Neighbor cabins are a bit closer than we’d hoped, but the location is forested enough to keep good privacy and secluded. Everything in the cabin was just as we’d hoped!
This was exactly what my family and I needed. The cabin was comfy cozy and very convenient.
Had an amazing time, Thank you!
Cabin was nice and very well kept. Very relaxing and comfortable. The one thing we were disappointed about was that it is in a dense neighborhood. Photos make it look remote but there are houses very close in all directions.
The curly creek cabin was a wonderful place to stay! It’s in a nice location and not too far from timberline! It’s a great and fun family and couples cabin! It had an awesome warm, cozy, and comfortable home feeling! It also has a hot tub, BQQ, and a little campfire set up outside on the deck I would definitely 10/10 come back!!!
We rented this beautiful home over the thanksgiving holiday and it was even more beautiful and spacious than we could have imagined. We were so grateful to find a dog-friendly property nearby Mt Hood and to have a wood burning stove and hot tub to keep us cozy. The wi-fi can go in and out and there is little to no cell service in the cabin which can be a blessing or a challenge depending on your needs. Overall, it was a fantastic stay.
We spent the weekend at this property to celebrate our anniversary and it was perfect. Quiet, relaxing, secluded, and beautiful. The jacuzzi was hot and so relaxing with an amazing view. We were close to hiking, restaurants, and stores, but far enough away from all of it that you can't hear the hustle and bustle. Actually all you could hear was the river flowing. The cabin was clean and stylish and it seems they thought of everything. We absolutely loved our stay and will be returning again! ❤️
