Rapid River Retreat - Meredith Lodging

You will have a quiet, relaxing vacation at the Rapid River Retreat, one of our most popular vacation rentals. Sit by the Sandy River with your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the afternoon and see and hear the Sandy River rushing by. With the west-facing backyard, you will soak in lots of afternoon sunshine while grilling dinner on the Weber gas BBQ. After dinner roast marshmallows and tell tall tales gathered around the firepit. The private, outdoor hot tub next to the river will cap off a day of fun and an evening of relaxation.

The vaulted great room is perfect for a gathering of friends and family who like to cook with the spacious open kitchen and second prep area with its own sink. You can sit around the large dining table for dinner and enjoy the river and mountain views through the floor-to-ceiling picture windows. The wood-burning fireplace warms the home and adds to the mountain lodge ambiance.

This home is perfectly suited for three couples or a small family with three bedrooms (1 king, 2 queens) accommodating up to 6 guests. There are two full bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. Each bedroom looks out over the Sandy River and the Cascade foothills in the background adding to the relaxing atmosphere.

The kids will love adventuring in the forest surrounding the Rapid River Retreat as well as finding fun places to explore throughout the Villages of Mt Hood. Your dog will be happy that you brought him along on this getaway retreat with the river to play in and the gated, dead-end road for taking long walks. The national forest just across the street from the cabin is a perfect place for your dog to explore and run.

    Location, location. Fab setting. Home in excellent condition. Any renter needs to come prepared for a bare kitchen...and that's ok. 8 of us managed well.

    Beautiful home in a great location. The river behind the home was great. It was also near some of the best hiking we have done in years.

    Close to Mt. Hood, well outfitted kitchen, cozy fire and room for everyone against a pretty creekside setting provided a wonderful family getaway for those wanting to ski and those wanting some secluded quiet private time! Clean, supplied amply and secure. Clear instructions for everything! Thank you!

    Positive is that the house was very nice. Quiet area and very private. We enjoyed hearing and seeing the Sandy River. Negatives: lots of dog fur in down stairs area (a bunch had been swept under couch!), on bed in down stairs as well. landline phone not working. Ice box in fridge broken. A few dishes/pans were put away dirty. No tin foil or plastic wrap- bring your own. Hardly any salt/pepper, or any other basic spices. The outdoor grill was filthy! Couldn’t get valve to turn on for gas- no tools. Furniture nice, but smelled like wet dog. ****there is a dvd player*** management co said there wasn’t when I asked.

    Stayed and hikes around mt. hood. It was setup well for me and gf and another friend. He stayed downstairs, we had the master upstairs. Hot tub, nice. Riverside, nice. gated road, fine, nice. No issues, no worries. Close to breakfast on the corner of main road. Killer biscuits. Mirror lake is 15 minutes. It's great. It's on wet side, dark side of Mt. Hood, but that's fine, drove the dotted line road to Hood River. (summer only). It was a pucker up drive, but we got there. Spectacular scenes over the mountain pass where the pioneers would drive cattle on the oregon train (apparently) ...visited winery on other side of the mountain. Easy drive if you take the main road for an hour. The pass does NOT save you time, just an experience. It's not on Google maps. Just have faith and keep going.
