Experience a truly private Mt. Hood getaway on a rare stretch of Sandy River frontage, complete with your own sandy beach. The property is bordered by forest and natural brush on both sides, offering exceptional privacy with no shared spaces. Newly listed on Vrbo, with an established history of consistent five-star guest reviews.
Relax on the patio, stroll down to the riverbank, or soak in the hot tub after a day skiing, hiking, or exploring the mountain. In warmer months, enjoy wading the river and a naturally formed sandy beach and swimming area that’s perfect for cooling off and kids at play.
Perfect for Families: Kids love exploring the beach, small seasonal creeks, and surrounding woods. This is a beautiful and wild natural setting, so children should be supervised at all times.
Dog Friendly: Well-behaved (“good citizen”) dogs are welcome. The yard and driveway are enclosed with fencing and a gate, and the property is surrounded by dense trees and natural brush. That said, this is a forested riverside setting, so we cannot guarantee pets will remain within the boundaries and they should be supervised. We provide thoughtful touches for your pup, including dog beds, a crate, feeding bowls, and cozy blankets—so they can relax in comfort, too.
