About this property

-Peaceful Eclectic Cabin, WiFi, Hot tub,pets welcome

By law we have to charge CC transient tax of 6% which VRBO is not allowed to collect at booking. We will invoice you after booking. We require our paperwork and all fees to be cleared up before access codes are given. Our cabin is set up for relaxation and down time. We have kept most of the old fashion appeal of days gone by or vacations spent as a child. We kicked it up a notch with the extensive decks and covered hot tub and newly appointed stainless appliances with concrete counter tops. We kept the cushy furniture and antique touches leaving a feeling of a true getaway. Our feeling of true perfection is not matchy-matchy furniture, but rather acquired through the years where you feel able to kick your shoes off, build a fire, read a book and just feel simplicity. No one across the river and neighbors set a distance away. This home has the privacy many are lacking. Due to insurance requirements cameras are on site.

Perfect location!

We had a great stay. A lot of hikes very close, the hot tub was nice and even though it rained during our stay, it was great to have a perfectly lovely view of the river and a nice fire in the rainy evening. The pictures do not do it justice-it is a great cabin.

The best vacation rental ever

We do VRBOs 4-5 times a year and this was the best we have ever stayed in. The amazing scenery is a big factor, but the house itself was the coziest! The beds were very comfortable and we even stayed an extra night cause I could not bear to leave.

Cozy cabin getaway

Stayed with friends for a long holiday weekend. Property was very cozy nestled in the woods on the sandy river with a great view. Nicely stocked kitchen and comfy beds and great location in proximity to all the activities on Mt Hood. Would recommend and stay here again.

Great Cabin Getaway

Had a wonderful stay for two nights at the cabin. I was able to enjoy the sounds of the river with the property right there by the river. Was quiet and secluded which is what I was looking for my stay.

One of the best properties we have stayed at

The property was better than described and in a perfect location. We really enjoyed the outside space with the river so close and firepit next to patio. Hope we can return someday. Definitely worth the 4 days of driving to spend some time here

Great Family Vacation Spot

We loved this Cabin so close to the Sandy River. It had ample space to hang out and I appreciated the extra tables to do puzzles/games. It felt very family oriented and I loved that about it. It was wonderful!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Olson

Host profile image
We have been married 38 years. Dennis grew up in Seattle, Laura in Beaverton.
Dennis after working corporate, left opening his own businesses in Athena and Helix Oregon. One of these days we hope he will retire! lol
Laura was a stay at home Mom, rearing 2 children and opened and ran a 501c non profit Akita rescue for 10 years.

Why they chose this property

Oh Goodness!
I have to tell you this was a long Journey to find the right one. We looked at so many properties. I wanted rustic- Dennis wanted a house. Unfortunately though I love the Steiner's many of the logs have not been well cared for and will cost a fortune to repair. I wanted a house with charm and good vibes. Dennis wanted new plumbing, modern amenities. We both new this was the house the minute we toured it.

What makes this property unique

One has to be here to experience the calm this house brings.
Of course the new decks and hot tub add to the feel as well as make it conducive to really enjoy the setting.
