The home was very clean and had great amenities. There were slippers to borrow and robes for the morning. This was great since i forgot my slippers at home and the owners want no shoes on the carpets. The hot tub was clean and warm. Very comfy and cozy. Owner answered texts very quickly and was very responsive. Overall a great experience. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely stay in the woods
We enjoyed our 2 night stay at this house in wooded community on Mt. Hood. The kitchen was very well stocked and the hot tub was wonderful. We loved being amongst the trees and a short walk to the river. The host was very responsive and let us have a late checkout. Thanks so much, Aaron!! We'll be back soon.
This is a GREAT property! Everything was great from the beginning….and so many little extras that made everything even better! I’m coming back as often as I can, for sure! :)

The perfect mountain retreat!
The beds were cozy - the linens were super soft and plush! The kitchen was well stocked. Everything was clean. The hot tub was fabulous!! We had a small power outage while we were there but the host texted me immediately and kept me updated... we just used it as an excuse to spent time by the river (which is beautiful!). I'd definitely stay here again!

Perfect relaxation!
It was just me this time - and I was their first repeat customer! :). I will come back again and again bc this place is so relaxing and quiet! I love it! :)🥰
Great place and has everything that you could possibly need for a stay - plus hot tub, grill, fire pit, access to the HOA pool and close to the river for a refreshing dunk. Great base camp for adventures in the area!
The hot tub was great for 4 adults. Any more it would have been too crowded. Was wonderful after a day in the snow!Got to say though, the BEST COFFEE ever! Thanks for helping to make our stay so much fun.
Everything was as-advertised. It is very clean with everything needed available in the home. The record player, board games, and scooters were all appreciated by our kids. The house is in a lovely area with easy access to mountain ski resorts. The hot tub was wonderful in the evening after being on the slopes.
Clean, lovely home. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and the hot tub was great. Just a short walk to the HOA pool, which was especially nice in the afternoon/evening as it was shaded then. We also spent a lot of young kid time over at Wildwood Recreational Area, which was so close and fun. If you are looking for some access to the outdoors and access to a pool this is a great place!
This house is well stocked and has all the amenities needed, including a hot tub, for a soak after a long hike. The community is friendly. The comminity pool and Sandy River are about a 5 minute walk from the house. We enjoyed trips to Timberland lodge amd White River, hikes around Mt Hood and a drive into Sandy for Sandbar BBQ- highly recommended (outdoor covered eating). We'd stay here again!
Absolutely amazing!!! The house is perfect and peaceful. The host was so helpful, we asked for recommendations on where to eat and he sent a list. We mentioned wanting to swim in the Sandy river and he told us about a perfect spot we can walk to that was easy to get to and a great swimming spot. The house had great little touches to make the stay even better such as reading light on the bed frame! Make up cloths! Record player! Roku tv! There was seriously so many things that made it perfect!
