Riverfront home close to skiing & fishing with beach access & huge VHS library

Summary:

Alder Wood



The Space:

Spend your days skiing, hiking, and fishing when you book a getaway to this riverfront home with a private deck, an outdoor fireplace, and a gorgeous location on the banks of the Sandy River. Wonderfully situated in a woodland neighborhood in Rhododendron, this rustic and elegant two-level home is less than six miles from the Resort at the Mountain's golf courses, 15 miles from Mt. Hood Skibowl, 21 miles from the Timberline Lodge and Ski Area, and 26 miles from Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort.



Once featured in the pages of Better Homes and Gardens, this warm and lofty home makes a comfortable escape for small families and groups of friends looking to enjoy the beauty of Mt. Hood. With two-story ceilings and a stunning wall of windows that frame the forest and the Sandy River, the living space is full of thoughtful and homey details. Curl up with a novel on the sofa, or enjoy an afternoon game of Scrabble in the warmth of the wood-burning fireplace.



And although the tempting dishes at the Rendezvous Grill are only five miles away, you'll cook comfortably in the open and well-equipped full kitchen. Grind your own Mt. Hood Roasters coffee beans each morning and enjoy family breakfasts at the farmhouse dining table.



As the sun sets each evening, pour yourself a glass of wine and soak in the sweeping river views on the back deck. Feeling a bit cold? You'll find an outdoor fireplace for those chilly mountain nights.



To make your stay all the more relaxing and convenient, Alder Wood is equipped with a private washer/dryer. This home also has a TV and DVD player. Upstairs, you'll find two loft-style adjoining bedrooms with one queen bed and one twin bed, although a door does not separate them. WiFi is also provided.



Escape to the serene beauty of this natural wonderland - reserve your Mt. Hood vacation rental today!

It was a beautifully curated home! loved all the details in the design, easy access to river and a cute lil black kitty that cuts through the yard. Wish there were more curtains on windows that faced other houses and there was bass we could feel in our chests while sitting on the back patio, it was from across the river and only during midday.

A perfect NYE getaway

Stayed here to have a quiet family NYE getaway and was not disappointed. Loved all the woodsy/mountain/western decor and despite not being as remote as we had initially anticipated (this is located within a community of cabins and rentals) it was very quiet, we did not run into any other renters/Neighbors the whole time, the river view and access was great, and the kitchen was totally up to par for us to enjoy home-cooked meals. Would definitely stay here anain, and hope to!

Quiet and serene

The house is charming and being right on the river is wonderful. Though you can only see a bit of the river from the yard there is a path that takes you by the river.

Cabin by the river

Absolutely adorable cabin in the woods by the river. Very clean. Beds and pillows were very comfortable!! It was the perfect location for starting our trail run around Mt Hood (Timberline Trail) from Top Spur trailhead. It had reliable WiFi for the one working remote one day of our stay. Very cozy!!

Very nice cabin in the woods

This cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The pictures showed a pretty good view of the river behind the house, but it is so overgrown you can barely see it. Even so, we enjoyed our stay here.

Cute and rustic, with all that you need.

Cute home well equipped. Enjoy the back windows with the creek in the back. Easily found and nicely, located to amenities. beds could use a little improvement. And even though I didn't have the opportunity to meet the neighbors, I sure did get to see and hear them during the weekend. Overall, a great space and we really enjoyed ourselves.

It was easy to find, the email I received was well instructed and we easily got into the house. We made pancakes in the morning and they had all the dishware that we would possibly need. The bathroom was very clean and so were the bedrooms. All-in-all, a great place to stay and a very beautifully decorated house.

Perfect Retreat

We stayed here as a little get away from busy mom life. It’s the perfect cabin retreat. Everything about it is charming, eclectic, and cozy. It’s quiet and private even though we had neighbors on both sides. The river is right in the backyard. Everything was clean and in order for us. When we had questions, the management team immediately responded.

Quiet, quirky cabin

We enjoyed our stay in this unique cabin. The location was a bit tricky to find at first (thank goodness for Google maps), but we ended up enjoying it being off the beaten path. My family and I stayed there for ski races up at Skibowl. We thought it was a very easy drive up to Skibowl, Meadows, and Timberline. The thriftway grocery store was very close and had everything we needed. We loved the open floor plan, fireplace, and the huge windows. The kitchen was spacious and the dining table and chairs were so cool! The house seemed to be clean but we were a bit overwhelmed with all the knick knacks and decorations. Overall we enjoyed our stay at this quiet, quirky cabin!

Lovely place

This was a really great place for the price. We enjoyed being so close to the water. There were really large windows and it was pretty cute overall. My complaints are the following: the host (vacasa) didn't allow us to bring our ESA animal, which is an illegal act in the state of Oregon. They also gave us 15 minute notice that our check-in was going to be delayed by 1.5 hours via a voicemail and didn't offer any discounts or a late check-out (etc). And finally, the rug upstairs (which is a pretty dark space) was pretty dirty, so it seems like the cleaning team didn't vacuum upstairs, or did a pretty poor job. Overall, I'd say this was a great property, but definitely some room for improvement on management and customer service.

Beautiful Property

We loved this booking and it's proximity to several activities around the Mount Hood area. The house was decorated adorably and it was so peaceful. They also left us a beautiful bouquet on the counter for when we arrived. Our only suggestions would be to invest in a better master bed mattress. We stayed for a week and were waking up in the middle of the night to move down to the couch. We also found ourselves wishing there was a TV/entertainment downstairs during cooking and socializing (we know this is subjective). There was functioning wifi but we found it a little laggy, too. Overall we would suggest this booking over and over again, as we were able to work around our above suggestions, just fine. Thank you!

Nice open concept house

My wife and I had a good time hiking in several areas within a few hours drive. The house has an open concept, reminds me of what it may have been like back in the day. There is a nice hiking trail along the stream in the back yard. Me missed the house at first as we were thinking the pictures that we used as a reference were taken from the back of the house. There is a description of some a classic Crosley stove which does not exist. There are no ice trays and when I inquired I was told that it's not listed in the amenities, never thought of ice trays as an amenity. The back door latch is broken and the doors are held closed by a rock inside. It's pretty secluded so we didn't feel in danger but it should be fixed. There are 2 other properties on both sides of this house that are VRBO's but we enjoyed our stay.
