Overall good stay, had an issue with the washing machine that maintenance promptly helped with and fixed. The cabin is next to a highway which they provided ear plugs to combat.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Needed a thorough cleaning. It was very dusty, especially fixtures. The outside back deck had many cobwebs and a dirty deck.The basement smelled musty, as did the towels. Surprised there were no top sheets. The doorknob on the game room in the basement was not affixed to the door.The style and decor was cute, but it definitely needed a thorough cleaning and airing out. Power washing on the outside would be a big improvement. Some furniture should be replaced. As an example, the center cushion of living room couch had absolutely no support and was sunken in.

The host family was so nice and extremely communitive. The lodge was a ton of fun. Everyone had a blast. The beds were comfy and the inside of the home was gorgeous. I wish we were staying longer. The hot tub was big and welcoming after a long day at the zoo. The game room with bar was a fun way to celebrate our son turning 21. Tons of happy memories made.

Cozy Cabin

The house was gorgeous and offered a ton of space. We enjoyed all the amenities and appreciated how easy everything in the house was to operate. Location was great for being able to go into towns or find a good spot for a meal. Overall a great stay at a lovely cabin.

Family time

We came to hang out with family that live in Portland. This place was awesome. Felt at home and cozy. Beautiful trees. We used the game room a lot and it was a plus! The town of Sandy has lots of stores, had everything we needed. Would definitely stay there again.

Great Getaway Weekend Destination

My friends and I enjoyed the property very much, we chose this lovely spot as our yearly vacation, it was decently close to Mount Hood, close to the highway but unless you had the windows open late at night you couldn’t even tell it was there. Lots of amenities, plenty of things to do there to kill time, and the hosts were lovely and responded to everything so fast and were so thoughtful. I’d highly recommend for groups of 8-12 (if you’re okay with sharing a bed or two).

Christmas with the grandkids

We packed four households/ three generations into one place for days and it was great. Roomy and cozy all at the same time. Loved it. Definitely a repeat when in the area again

Great stay

Overall a wonderful trip! The house was clean and as advertised. Everyone really enjoyed the game room, the beds and couches were comfortable. The only downside was how close the house was to the road, so traffic noise was present, but not unbearable. The kitchen was small, very small fridge and dishwasher for the amount of people, but still functional. We have stayed at many rentals near Mt.Hood and this has been our favorite so far, we will definitely be back!

Christmas Cabin

Our extended family likes to gather a week or so before Christmas so that they can celebrate with us and still have actual Christmas with their other families as well. This property was perfect. 4 bedrooms was perfect for 7 adults, two children, one infant and 2 dogs.. not to mention the pool table, ping pong table, shuffle board and hot tub!!! It was perfect for us.

We had a wonderful one week stay at The Alder Lodge. The home was welcoming, cozy and clean, beds were comfortable. There was plenty of room for our family. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed the game room and hot tub. Location was perfect as a base for us to explore the beautiful area, including Portland, Mt. Hood, Columbia River Gorge; we also took a longer drive to Cannon Beach/Haystack Rock, which we highly recommend. Sandy is a nice town with options for dining and groceries. We also liked the deck out back with gas fire pit, surrounded by beautiful trees/forest. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Our week went by too quickly, there's so much more to see and do there. We hope to come back someday!

Great for extended families and groups

A large home, suitable for extended families or groups with kids (very kid friendly – there were toys, and they even provided a baby gate that we could put in place at the top of the stairs). The house was clean, and the hot tub was great (although it’s located outside - not indoors as indicated in the photo), the beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the game room was awesome. The only drawbacks are the traffic noise from Hwy 26 right out front and it was hard to keep the house warm despite cranking the heat and the pellet stove.
