Please go to our video tab at the top of the page to see the views and setting from the riverside of the cabin….

Panoramic views of the Sandy River from the great room, dining room and kitchen.

An unforgettable mountain retreat where the views, sounds and smells of the river and trees will reconnect you to your senses….

Sink into the serene and charming Wildwood River Cabin - an ideal mountain getaway less than an hour's drive from Downtown Portland. Just a few feet in front of the Sandy River, the cabin sits nearly secluded on its aged lot amongst towering fir, pine and cedar trees. From the great room you will see and hear the water as it gently winds its way down the mountain.

The knotty pine walls, vaulted ceilings and custom pine woodwork throughout the cabin make it an especially warm and cozy retreat for you and your loved ones. The open great room includes a clear-glass woodstove and a wall of windows offering a panoramic view of the river through the wildwoods. Outside, take a soak in the hot tub under the trees while sinking into the sights, smells and sounds of the mountain.

We warmly welcome you to the Wildwood River Cabin for a treat that will relax and restore you...

Linda & Christy & Lucille P.S. A very dog-friendly place.

* What a beautiful home you have here! We were in awe as we entered the cabin. The entire setting was restful and replenished the spirit. Our family had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Thank you. We hope to be back again.

* What a perfect peaceful honeymoon spot after a frantic wedding-planning month! We spent most of the week in the kitchen (and hot tub!) We will miss the sound of the river and the silence of the cell phones! We’ll be back for anniversaries!!

* This place is so beautiful we did not want to leave. The kids and dog had so much fun playing in the yard with the snow and throwing rocks in the river. Thank you for sharing your home!
The Kind Carson Family

* The view out of the window every morning is so peaceful and serene. The weekend was the calm and restful mini vacation that we were really needing. Thank you, we will be back.

* Wonderful, splendid, pleasant, amazing, beautiful, cozy, warm… The sound of the river is soothing to my ears… the kitchen was too inviting, ate way too much good food, hot tub was hot, river was cold…the warmth of the surroundings made us both feel at home. The selection of games in the closet is fantastic.. Yahtzee is my new favorite game, as were the horseshoes.. so much fun!! Got a lot accomplished before 10am.. more than back in the city! Will definitely be back soon…best wishes Adam & Suzy

*Thank you for a lovely place to enjoy this beautiful wilderness. We’ll be back again and again. – Jen & Pete

*Wonderful. Relaxing. Idylic. Rested – couldn’t ask for more. Warm Thanks, Zoe & Lura

Perfect location to visit the Mount Hood area. The home was well equipment with everything we needed for our stay. The king bed was extremely comfortable. We made use of the hot tub after long hikes and thoroughly enjoyed the sounds coming from the river. The woodwork and attention to detail in the home did not go unnoticed. We own a cabin in Georgia and I was experiencing wood envy! Thank you for sharing your amazing home with us.

Everything about the property was wonderful. The cabin is beautiful and has a gorgeous view of the river. I loved listening to the river as I did yoga every morning. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with. The home was very clean and well designed. The setting is private with lots of trees and is quiet and peaceful. It was the perfect place to rejuvenate. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, the bed was comfortable, and the living room was cozy and comfortable with a river view. I highly recommend this property for rest and relaxation.

The curb appeal when arriving at the property does nothing for how delightful this property is. The view to the river in the back is just as the listing picture promises. The beds were a little soft, and be sure you read checkout expectations, but we enjoyed our stay while visiting Mount Hood. There were a few coffee shops we enjoyed during our stay. Be sure to check out Mountain Moka!

Overall this is an A house nestled on the Sandy River. Quiet atmosphere and the house fully complemented. Close to Farmers Market in Welches and our favorite BBQ at Skyway Bar & Grill. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the Saturday concert at Skyway as well. Close to the network of trails along the Salmon River an area preserved by enactment for a great wilderness experience. We enjoyed a fine glass of local wine and sat by the river edge. We grilled and cooked in the well supplied kitchen. Would recommend this home to anyone. Bought a wooden bear from Gallery at Alder Creek near Sandy OR. Not far from the cabin and the artist Mike Schmidt was amazing.

We loved everything about the Wildwood Cabin: view of the Sandy River from the livingroom and spacious deck, wildlife watching (deer, birds, squirrel), quiet neighbors and a well-stocked kitchen. We spent four nights and wanted to stay longer.

Awesome stay, as advertised

Everything was great. The only thing is check out procedures seemed a tad excessive. We felt like we weren’t sure if we should take showers or use hand towels because we were trying to have all towels and linens cleaned before we left in the morning as per the instructions and it caused our morning to feel a little hectic.

Charming Rustic Getaway

Great friends vacation weekend! We definitely enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Would stay again! The location was so cute with a lovely view of the woods and Sandy River. Yes, there are neighbors but the way the house was positioned with all the trees and shrubbery, it felt very private. The owner, Lilli, was absolutely wonderful. Very communicative and super courteous!

This is in the most serene & beautiful location. You are so close to the river - it's like camping, but with all the luxuries of being home. The little home/cabin is well appointed and adorable.

Perfect Mount Hood getaway

I could not recommend this property highly enough. Beautiful setting right on the river. Comfy beds. Easy access to the highway but far enough to just be surrounded by the sounds of the rushing river and the songs of the birds nearby. Saved the best for last...it even has a hot tub! Lili the owner is also above and beyond helpful and accommodating! We loved our time here and can't wait to come back.

Wonderful cabin, super clean and has anything you may need. The view of the river is stunning when the sun is setting. The river music is relaxing, especially when enjoying it in the hot tub. Great central location too. We were able to explore a circle around Mt Hood with ease. Owner communicated quickly and kept us informed of some repairs underway outside (no impact to us at all.

A riverside retreat

Everything was as hoped in this beautifully set cabin. While it gave off an air of remoteness, the location was perfect for both exploring the thrilling sights of the Mount Hood area and access to local Sandy, the region's shopping hub. The highlight for us was the Sandy River outside. The sounds of the rivers were soothing and therapeutic. This was certainly a fantastic place to detox mentally for a few days. Thank you.

A Magical Getaway

My husband and I decided to stay at the wildwood river cabin for a few nights to unwind and reset. We were both experience burn out and just needed some time away to reenergize ourselves. This cabin was perfect on all counts! The kitchen is well stocked with every cooking gadget you might need, the hot tub is private and has an amazing view of the river, and the river view from the living room is spectacular. The whole place was very clean and well kept. The hosts were so communicative and kind as well! We will definitely be repeat customers!

About the host

Hosted by Lili

Host profile image
I'm a small business owner living with my family in Portland Oregon. I practice Acupuncture + Chinese Medicine and absolutely LOVE the outdoors! Pictured here with me is our son Jensen and our malamute puppy Akino. :)

Why they chose this property

We chose Mount Hood because of it's proximity to Portland and all of the wonderful outdoor activities available there. In less than an hour we can be up at the cabin enjoying the hot tub by the river!

We chose the property because out of all of the properties on the market at the time, this one by far had the best views of the river and the most privacy/ seclusion. The sounds of the river too were so loud you could even here them throughout the cabin!

What makes this property unique

This property is stunning - we fell in love the moment we passed from the driveway side of the property to the river side of the property. Evergreens and poplars cover almost the full acre of land, the views and sounds of the river were so potent and in front of the cabin across the river there is green space - all giving my partner and I the sense that we were a million miles from the Portland although we'd been in the office only a hour or so before getting there!

Words, even pictures, can't fully describe what a peaceful and restorative experience this place offers. This, combined with the fact that it takes less than an hour to get there from downtown Portland, and we were sold!
