Riverside Retreat with Hot Tub & Deck | Peaceful Escape on the Sandy River in the Pines
Welcome to Whispers on the Sandy – a serene riverside retreat tucked beneath towering pines on the banks of the Sandy River. This one-of-a-kind mountain escape offers breathtaking river views from nearly every corner, both inside and out, making it the perfect destination for a peaceful getaway. A private foot path leads you down to the river’s edge, a fire pit, and a community trail along the waterfront. The tucked-away neighborhood of Timberline Rim offers small parks and additional river access.
Step outside onto the expansive deck and let nature surround you. Whether you're dining al fresco at the large outdoor table or soaking in the private hot tub under a canopy of evergreens, the soothing sights and sounds of the river and forest will set the tone for total relaxation.
Inside, the home has been thoughtfully renovated and updated, blending rustic charm with modern comfort. Warm wood tones, cozy textures, and a mountain lodge feel make it a welcoming haven in every season. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area brings everyone together—whether you're sipping coffee by the fire or preparing a meal while admiring the river through the windows.
Whispers on the Sandy is more than a home—it's a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience the tranquil magic of the Pacific Northwest.

Sandy River House
This was a lovely house facing the Sandy River. It was a very quiet stay with a lot of great amenities. The view an hot tub were a major bonus! It was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the decor was nice too!
Some things to keep in mind: for snow activities make sure you bring your own gear as this place does not offer that. The HVAC system is VERY loud and takes a long time to heat up the main part of the house, but the bedrooms get very hot. The stairs to the loft are quite dangerous and are not meant for anybody who has difficulty walking.
Very clean, stocked, professional, comfortable, and everything you want it to be. The sound of the river, the quiet area, and the hot tub made for an amazing getaway!
