About this property

Sandy River’s Hush: Peaceful Riverfront Cabin Near Mt. Hood

Come for the river. Stay for the hush.

Sandy River’s Hush is a warm, secluded cabin on 1.2 acres above the Sandy River. Made for slow mornings, lively dinners, and the kind of quiet you can actually hear.

The property offers four distinct sleeping spaces for up to 10 guests:

• Main-floor suite: King bed, ensuite bath, soaking tub, and separate shower
• Upstairs queen suite: Queen bed with private tub and shower
• Upstairs twin room: Three twin beds beside a full bathroom
• Detached bunkhouse: Four built-in bunks, full bathroom, lounge area, streaming TV, and PlayStation

Every bed is dressed in Pendleton bedding, with Pendleton towels in every bathroom.

The main cabin has a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living and dining areas, a reading nook, and an indoor wood stove. Outdoors, you’ll find a spacious yard, gazebo, deck seating, and a propane fire pit. Outdoor wood fires are not permitted.

The detached garage provides a convenient place to store and dry outdoor gear after skiing, snowboarding, hiking, or mountain biking.

PEACEFUL BY DESIGN

Sandy River’s Hush is a quiet retreat, not a party house. It sits on a quiet dead-end road in a peaceful residential community. Quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 8 a.m.

ABOUT THE RIVER

The Sandy River flows approximately 40 to 50 feet below the cabin. You can hear it throughout the property and see it from several areas above.

A private trail leads toward the river, but it is steep and rough, with loose dirt and rocks. It is not a casual stroll and may not be suitable for everyone. Guests who use the trail do so at their own risk. River access depends on weather and river conditions and is not permitted during the winter months.

Even without using the trail, the sound and views of the river create a peaceful backdrop throughout your stay.

Perfect location for our uses between Mt hood, Portland and the Sandy ridge bike trail system (2miles). Excellent host, house was laid out better than we assumed through pictures! Trail access to the water was a little more difficult than we presumed from description, however, it was accessible for older kids and younger adults! Our group discussed how we would love to return to THIS cabin in particular!

This is the best home I’ve ever stayed in. It has every amenities you could possibly imagine. The owners really tried to think of every possible item you might need to make your stay enjoyable. We sat out and enjoyed a fire and then cooked in there beautiful kitchen, before sleeping in the most amazing bed. The owners were also incredibly responsive to anything we needed. I really wished we could have stayed longer.

Best. VRBO. Ever.

They have thought of everything. Smooth check in, two kinds of coffee makers, all modern appliances in the kitchen, hiking sticks, games, a record player! It's a beautiful home, uniquely decorated, and suitable for two families with kids to enjoy each other's company. Close to so many natural wonders, including the Sandy River, Little Zigzag Falls, Salmon River, and not far from Timberline and Government Camp! Hosts were friendly and responsive, helpful every time. I have not one complaint, and we will definitely be back!

Five Star Review for Sandy River HushSandy River Hush is an absolute dream stay—if we could give it more than ten stars, we would! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at peace. The setting is breathtakingly beautiful, with the soothing sounds of the river creating a truly serene and restorative atmosphere.The home itself is immaculate, thoughtfully designed, and exceptionally comfortable. Every detail is clearly intentional—from the cozy furnishings to the well-appointed kitchen and inviting outdoor spaces. It’s the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern comfort.We especially loved spending time outside, whether enjoying morning coffee with the river flowing nearby or unwinding in the evening surrounded by nature. It’s an ideal retreat for relaxation, reflection, and reconnecting with what matters most.The hosts were outstanding—responsive, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure our stay was perfect. Everything was seamless from booking to checkout.If you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful getaway that exceeds expectations in every way, Sandy River Hush is it.

Tranquil property, a peaceful get-away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There is so much to review here are some highlights: I. Location - As advertised, down a quiet street, set back from the road, right on the river. Appreciated the owner providing the address as well as the address that most map apps use so finding the place was not a problem!II. Grounds - Beautiful surroundings with well-lit areas and buildings. Details are attended to - hiking (trek) sticks provided for those venturing down to the river.III. Main house - cozy and welcoming. The kitchen is stocked with every type of cookware, bakeware, and cooking implement. There are multiple options for making your morning coffee (ranging from pour over to pods). The front room has a cozy wood stove, ample seating, and great views of the outdoors. The porch has multiple seating and overlooks the river. The views and sounds were amazing. Great for morning coffee or afternoon wine! Bedrooms and bathrooms well-stocked and comfy. The record player and vintage vinyl collection were a wonderful surprise. IV. Bunkhouse - Microwave & fridge made for fun late-night TV viewing.Owners have attended to details, are great communicators, and left very detailed instructions/information throughout the property. We can't wait to return!
