Dream Catcher Cabin is a whimsical and charming cabin nestled under tall Douglas Fir and cedar trees along the banks of the Salmon River. You will refresh and rejuvenate in this cabin full of warm and personal touches with lots of natural wood accents, comfortable furniture, and cozy mountain décor. Lean back in the vaulted great room and enjoy a fire in the woodstove insert in the original 1925 river rock fireplace. The Dream Catcher Cabin has been fully remodeled and renovated with modern amenities camouflaged with mountain pioneer style.
The cozy kitchen with old-fashioned appeal includes all modern appliances for preparing a gourmet dinner for two or a sumptuous breakfast before heading out for a day of fun around Mt Hood. Sit in the dining nook with picture windows viewing the Salmon River while enjoying your morning coffee or a glass of wine.
Two upstairs bedrooms, each with a queen bed enjoy Salmon River views through the large picture windows. The romantic primary suite is perfect for a sweetheart vacation with an over-sized jetted bathtub for two next to the river-viewing picture window. You will find privacy in the separate water closet with the quirky wine barrel sink and commode. The second bedroom upper wall is open to the hallway limiting noise privacy.
Gather around the outside firepit during the evening and gaze at the starry sky framed by tall trees, listen to the Salmon River flowing by and retell stories of the day’s adventures. Grill dinner on the gas BBQ then enjoy your meal at the picnic table. Or soak your soul in the riverside hot tub before calling it a night.
Your vacation at the Dream Catcher Cabin will be truly magical; you will catch and hold on to your dreams during this special Mt Hood vacation.

We loved our stay here. Super convenient location yet you felt like you were miles away from town. Loved the house and the back yard space with the hot tub and river couldn’t have been any better. Would love to come back.

The place was so wonderful and cozy. The hot tub on the river was definitely the best part, and it was so lovely when it started raining. We went to a pizza place super close called ivy bear, highly recommend. The owner is so nice and the food was great, he even makes his own beer!

We really loved the location next to the Salmon and Sandy Rivers. Great location and not far from some great hikes along rivers and waterfalls. Very well equipped and had everything we needed for our trip. We brought a lot of our own wood for the outdoor fire and enjoyed that it the evenings while we talked about our adventures. Would definitely stay here again. The host was great and was easy to communicate with.

The property is located right on a river, providing peaceful ambiance - just what we needed after a along day of driving. The hot tub next to the roaring river was the icing on the cake. Went to the Zig Zag Inn for some delicious Pizza. Overall had a great time.

Great little cabin next to the river. Was excited to cook on the old stove and cast iron pans in the pictures, but alas they have modernized the stove and haven't updated the pictures.

We stayed here for 2 nights. First night was a beautiful rainstorm that left us using the skylight to let our little one listen and see the rainfall. There was heat from electric but it was wonderful building a fire. The river view and the hottub made for Exceptional star gazing on our clear night. My wife and I are already looking into our next stay.

The house and the views didnt disapoint! Easy to find and easy check in with clear instructions. The house needed some cleaning and was missing some easy fixes like foil wrap and spice in the kitchen. The neighbors are close. Fun get away on the whole and peaceful.

Hi Erin! Thank you for your 5-star review. We are so glad you had an enjoyable Spring Break getaway. We appreciate your feedback, and will share your comments with our local team. We loved hosting your family, and hope you will book with us again!
The house is quite nice and the backyard is great. Access to the Sandy River is wonderful. Used the hot tub once and although very hot, it was relaxing. My only complaint is that the house was dusty, on furniture and under the beds. Might be a good reminder for housekeeping. We had a great time and would consider staying in the cabin again.

The photos do not do this darling cabin justice! It is really such a perfect winter get away cabin. I found it incredibly charming in every way. Very rustic, lived in and comforting. I like the *vibe* of old-school cabin so if you are not into that it might not be your place, but it gave me all of those sleeeping in a cabin in winter good feelings. The hot tub was situated perfectly above the river and you could see how fridgid and powerful it was but from the warmth and comfort of the hot tub. The bed was incredibly soft. After this trip we decided we needed to upgrade our mattress because my husband and I both slept so well while there. The jetted bath tub in the room gave the cabin the feeling of being at a resort, especially wth it's river rock motif.Excellent amenities--all the soaps for a bubble bath and cleaning supplies for the kitchen were nicely appointed. I would make this cabin an annual go-to it was so cute. The little town of Sandy has great character with fun restaurants, coffee and gift shops. If we decide to hike or ski Mt. Hood and need a place, this is the one I will return to, for sure.

Beautiful location
Lovely location on the river. Easy access. Very relaxing. Some confusion at check in as the property recently updated to keyless locks. The fireplace lighter was empty and they promptly delivered a new one.
