This was a lovely home with every comfort including a fully equipped kitchen, a library, games galore, a hot tub, fireplace and an enchanting garden with a little path to a fast moving stream. We enjoyed relaxing in the garden outside and also felt at home inside, reading, talking and dining together. This home creates an inviting atmosphere for an excellent, memorable stay.

We really enjoyed our stay! The space was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. One of our favorite features was the hot tub—it was the perfect way to unwind. The property has a beautiful, park-like setting that feels peaceful and private, and we especially loved the short hike down to the river. It was a great place to disconnect and enjoy nature. We would definitely stay here again!

e Always love coming here. The house and yard are always super clean. It's great to be able to bring our dog with us. The hot tub is perfect right off the master bedroom. Warm down comforters on all beds. Firewood for a cozy fire. Quiet location with easy access to the mountain. David is a great helpful host.

Wonderful cabin!

Plenty of room both indoors and out for our family of 5 plus two four legged friends. Lots of living space, a well stocked kitchen and a short walk down to a gorgeous river. Host was friendly and readily available to ensure a smooth visit. This cabin was a perfect home base for adventures on Mt. Hood!

Lots of Room, Clean, comfortable and great location

The Sandy River Ski House is a great place to stay while exploring the Mt. Hood area. The place is large, very comfortable beds, a good hot tub, kitchen is good and the outside area is very nice. The house is very close to restaurants, groceries, and many really good hikes. I would recommend this place and would stay again when in the area.

The location of the house is wonderful for river access, local hikes and a quick ride to the ski areas. Comfort and coziness is important after a day out in nature. Thanks for renting. David

A beautiful place to stay near the Sandy river

The house was quite nice, clean, and the owner was very helpful while not being obtrusive during our stay. Wood for the fireplace and stove was in abundance and a nice surprise relative to other places we have stayed. Thank you for having us and our dogs at your beautiful property.

Relaxing Getaway

We enjoyed a relaxing holiday getaway at the Sandy River Ski House. Just a short drive from the Portland metro area but a world away in terms of peace and quiet: just the sound of the wind in the trees and the gentle waters of the nearby Sandy River. The house is equipped with all the amenities you may need and is easy to find off the main highway. Overall, a great place to unwind, unplug, and connect with nature
