Summary:
River Lily Retreat
The Space:
Nestled in the shadow of Mt. Hood in the lush greenery of the Pacific North West, this fantastic getaway awaits you and your loved ones. Find tranquility, adventure, and refuge as you relax at this charming property where the wildlife greets you in song every morning and fish are hopping in the river, a perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Many attractions are within 15 miles of the home, including Silent Rock, Sandy Ridge Trail System for hikers, Mt. Hood Skibowl for those who love fresh powder in the winter, and many other local eateries and shops to explore.
Upon entry, you'll be greeted by a bright interior simply flooded with natural light thanks to the floor-to-cathedral-ceiling windows. Relax and make yourself at home by resting on the plush furniture, curling up by the wood-burning stove, or carrying on great conversations with loved ones. Hobby chefs will love preparing grand meals in the full kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and a formal dining table. With five beds, there's more than enough room for everyone to get a comfortable night's rest from the day's activities. Stream a movie marathon together on the large TV in the sitting area downstairs when you have downtime, and kids can create memories in the playroom filled with toys. You'll love the deck, and be sure to gather everyone around the gas firepit for an evening of toasted s'mores and good conversation.

Drain in downstairs bathroom shower needs to be worked on, shower did not drain. Extra garbage bags and toilet paper should be better stocked. View was beautiful and proximity to the water was lovely!

Beautiful Cabin in Beautiful Location!
This cabin is near the river and has the best location to trails. It's very spacious. You can have several families, and still have enough room. The kitchen was well stocked. Great place to stay!
So sad to leave—loved the house and the location. Highly recommend!

Perfect weekend getaway.
Stayed at River Lily for a fall weekend away from the city, and it was perfect! Beautiful view of the trees from the cabin and loved hearing the river from the deck. The house was spacious, clean, and cozy.
We really enjoyed the home and location. It is on a quiet loop in a vacation home neighborhood with trees and a babbling river out back. Beautiful accommodations and views through the woods. Very relaxing and peaceful.

Perfect Cabin in the Woods!
The house was clean, well furnished, and very cozy. The living room, deck, and loft all provided lovely views and the kitchen was a joy to cook in. The sound of the river and the forest views made for a very relaxing stay. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
The river is like a background hum. It's there soothing without over powering. You can hold a conversation while letting nature wash the stress away. Send the kids to the playroom, or watch them fall out of the hammock from the deck. Take a nature walk up the river to a small sandy beach.
Beautiful, well maintained place that is incredibly comfortable. The perfect layout located on a small river. Peaceful and amazing. Can’t wait to visit again!

Fantastic
View, comfort, close to gov camp, beautifully designed home, absolutely loved
What a peaceful and well-appointed place to relax and enjoy the forest and river. I’m so thankful we found this spot. Very clean and dog friendly! Highly recommend it!
The house was very nice. The setup was perfect for a family. The downstairs worked great for my daughter, son in law and their baby. The river walk in was lovely! My only complaint was the cleanliness under the beds, tables and couches. toretrieve toys underbtheir
