The Neighborhood:
Nestled by the Sandy River on Brightwood Loop Rd, you feel miles away from civilization, but in reality are less than 5 minutes away from HWY 26 near Zig Zag. At mere 20 minutes from Timberline Lodge, you can beat the traffic up the mountain to ski without having to get up too early.
Other Things to Note:
Tankless water heater supplies endless hot water to ensures that everyone can get clean and warm after a day on the mountain. Run 2-3 showers at same time.
EV Chargers have Tesla (NACS) Style plugs, if you need an adapter, please bring it with you. Chargers are rated for 8KW and charge a Tesla from 0% in about 9 hours.
It snows here occasionally. Winter on the mountain is unpredictable, chains / shovel for your vehicle are recommended.
Good internet, reasonable cell service. Some GPS / apps will try to send you to the middle of the Sandy River, cross check with the location map!
The Sandy River is COLD, as we are near the glaciers that feed it. It is also fast moving and swimming or wading is recommended to only be done at low flow in the summer.
Please check with local authorities for burn bans and fishing information. Clackamas County regulations allow for 15 guests maximum, if you have a larger group, consider booking 2 adjacent houses on this property.

Perfect layout for multiple families, kids loved the bunk room and attached game rooom. House was very spacious, clean and well designed. Already planning our next trip back.
Incredible, beautiful location. Excellent for our group of 15
Gregory was a great host, responded to all of our questions quickly and preemptively addressed anything before we needed to reach out. We were able to just show up and have fun. We had a 15 passenger van and were able to get in and out the driveway, but anything bigger would not have made it. It was incredibly clean.
Amazing property at the foothills of Mt Hood! The owner/builder did an amazing job with the floor plan layout. We had 11 people on site for birthday festivities and 4 couples stayed on premises. Each room had its own bathroom which was one of the reasons why we chose this property. If you’re having a family/friend get together, this place is perfect!
