Rhododendron, Oregon
Hear the peaceful Sandy River from this classic knotty pine 1930's mountain cabin with a blue tin roof, located on historic Barlow Trail Rd. This cozy cabin is filled with plants and has vintage & mid century decor. Get cozy by the wood burning stove, original river rock fireplace, and picture windows. Take a soak after a day in the snow in the deeper than average tub in the newly remodeled bathroom.
Enjoy the large kitchen with all new appliances, a tranquil outdoor space with beautiful ferns, cedar trees, sun & shade, a fire pit, and a bbq. Have a meal or enjoy games at the large 6-8 person farmhouse table.
Check out our discounted weekly & monthly rates! This cabin is perfect for a couple, two couples, (3 couples if one sleeps on futon in living room), a friends weekend, or a family. We have 2 bedrooms (1 with Q and 1 with K), a nice Q futon in the living room.
The space is open, yet cozy, charming with a rustic feel, but has modern amenities like dishwasher and newer mattresses. Watch from the large picture windows as the rain or snow falls while you are warmed by the wood stove!
We are set back away from the road amongst lots of trees, but you can hear traffic from Barlow Trail Rd if you are in the front yard or have the front windows open. If you are in the backyard, or only have the river-facing windows open, you mostly hear the river! Our cabin is not on riverfront property, but you can hear the river, as it's just through the trees less than 50 yards away. Our cabin feels secluded, but we do have two somewhat distant neighbors. You can't see them in the spring/summer due to foliage, but in the winter you can see them through the trees.
Under 20 min drive to Govt Camp, 5 min to Welches Thriftway grocery.
HEAT: you can heat the main living area in the cabin without using the wood stove to about 65 degrees, and the bedrooms to 72, by using the electric baseboard heater near the record player, the plug in heater, and the very warm bedroom wall heaters. Some guests found they needed to use the wood stove to be comfortable in the living room area, so please keep this in mind. Although there is electric heat, the wood stove is guaranteed warmth! The wood stove can heat the entire home on it's own if you read the instructions in the cabin and keep it going. In fact, it gets too hot at times! If you plan to use the wood stove and not the electric heaters, we provide wood for you, but please bring your own kindling & newspaper, which can be found at the Brightwood Store near the cabin for $2.99.
We have a high chair and Graco pack n play board books and toys for those with little ones.
A pleasant and relaxing ambience that made us feel right at home! beautiful wooded environment off the beaten path.
Need larger garbage cans at end of street.
We loved our time at this cabin. It's cozy and great location for exploring Mt Hood. Another review mentioned the beds and pillows being good compared to many rentals and I agree! We just used one bed, but I was happy with it and slept well! Bathroom is all new, very nice. Excellent communication with the caretaker and owner as well. We will be back.
We were looking for a peaceful spot to relax for a couple of days and this place totally fit the bill. Clean, well-maintained with a well-equipped kitchen and comfy beds with good pillows. The wood stove heats the place like a champ and we were plenty toasty during our chilly, rainy stay. Heaven.
Charming & delightful! Everything was perfect. Highly recommend and will definitely rent again.
We greatly enjoyed our quick weekend getaway. Well equipped, charming cabin that's conveniently located from Portland and to all of the fun outdoor activities on Mt. Hood.
Great property, kitchen and bathroom obviously redone recently and with great care and thoughtful touches. Despite how hot the day was (in the 90s there, nearly 100 in Portland), the cabin itself was nice and cool. Great internet, and really nice that we could have our dog with us! Thanks!!
There is not a view of the river but it can be heard loud and clear from back yard and main bedroom. Very pleasant and soothing. Like the ocean only continuous with no gaps between crashing waves. Could have used a more comfortable chair but all in all a very relaxing stay.
This is a lovely rental and the host is friendly and helpful. The location is great. We would stay again -- that pretty much says it all.
Had a wonderfully restful stay with hubby and the fam! Will do this again! Thanks so much!
My husband and I spent a lovely Thanksgiving getaway here with our two dogs. The house is very cute and lovingly furnished. It has everything you need for a cozy stay. Close to a variety of amazing hiking opportunities, too. We hope to be able to come back.
Property is clean and has most things that would be needed for your stay. Woodstove heat is great and will likely make you open a window. Even though this property is not on the river you can hear the river. Enjoyed our daughters birthday at this location and made for a great weekend. Well will be returning to this location, likely later this year.
