Summary:

Riverside Sanctuary



The Space:

They say there is no place like home, yet Riverside Sanctuary may just become your home-away-from-home that you return to year after year! Sitting in a perfect location right on the bank of the Zig Zag River and mere minutes from Mount Hood Village, hiking trails, skiing, and the majestic base of Mount Hood, this getaway will be the perfect jumping-off point for year-round adventures. Plus, you can hang out right at home base and have just as much fun soaking in your private hot tub, gathering around the firepit or the wood stove on chilly nights!



Downtime will be a dream as well, as this cabin has all of the comforts of home and more. The lower level will be the hub for gathering with loved ones in style with an open layout, soaring ceilings, and plenty of seating for all to relax in no time. The living room boasts a mounted TV with streaming capabilities, so you will have no shortage of entertainment during your stay. And, the chef of the group can show off their skills in the full kitchen or fire up the gas grill come summer!



With so much fun just waiting to be had, you won't want to miss this rare opportunity to experience Rhododendron in style. Book your stay today!

Please note that firewood is not provided but can be purchased at the local grocery store.

The kitchen was fantastic - we had all we needed to make lots of food! One thought would be to add coasters and a meat thermometer. The hot tub was warm and wonderful. The house was a little dusty and the sheets were stained/dirty upon arrival. Location and communication were excellent!

This is certainly not the standard we strive to uphold, and we apologize for any inconvenience this caused. We'll continue to work closely with both our local staff and the homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you.

We loved our stay here and would absolutely come back again. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and silverware. There were plenty of towels for both the shower and hot tub. Beds were comfy, with plenty of extra blankets and pillows.My only complaint is that there is a little walking trail that does get some foot traffic along the creek...which makes the hot tob not so private during the daylight hours.

Beautiful cabin with lots of nature and privacy!

We really enjoyed all the amenities of the cabin! The privacy and surrounding nature was really lovely. There was plenty of outdoor seating and a fire pit. The cabin was well stocked with towels and soaps, and the kitchen was fully equipped and enjoyable to cook in. We noticed some issues with cleanliness - like dishes being cloudy and crumbs on the couch, which would have made this an easy five star stay if resolved.

Private Riverfront Cabin

I stayed at this cabin-like private residence on the river with two brothers (25&26) for a disc golf trip to the Milo McIver course roughly 45 minutes away. Very close to Mt Hood. Hot tub, board games, fully equipped kitchen were excellent features. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

Great Home in a Perfect Setting

My husband and I recently stayed there for 4 nights and wished we'd had time to stay longer. This place was close to a small river, surrounded by trees, and in a small, quirky neighborhood. Loved it all! The house was spacious and the kitchen seemed well stocked though we only cooked a couple of meals there. It's in a great location and very peaceful. Would love to stay there again and would totally recommend!

A Relaxing Weekend

This cabin is close to the river, so we loved that we could hear the water. The cabin is really nice and has a rustic feel to it, even-though it has all amenities needed. I was impressed by the nice appliances and the overall layout of the place. Its surprisingly large.
