You will have a quiet, relaxing vacation at the Rapid River Retreat, one of our most popular vacation rentals. Sit by the Sandy River with your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the afternoon and see and hear the Sandy River rushing by. With the west-facing backyard, you will soak in lots of afternoon sunshine while grilling dinner on the Weber gas BBQ. After dinner roast marshmallows and tell tall tales gathered around the firepit. The private, outdoor hot tub next to the river will cap off a day of fun and an evening of relaxation. The vaulted great room is perfect for a gathering of friends and family who like to cook with the spacious open kitchen and second prep area with its own sink. You can sit around the large dining table for dinner and enjoy the river and mountain views through the floor-to-ceiling picture windows. The wood-burning fireplace warms the home and adds to the mountain lodge ambiance. This home is perfectly suited for three couples or a small family with three bedrooms (1 king, 2 queens) accommodating up to 6 guests. There are two full bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. Each bedroom looks out over the Sandy River and the Cascade foothills in the background adding to the relaxing atmosphere. The kids will love adventuring in the forest surrounding the Rapid River Retreat as well as finding fun places to explore throughout the Villages of Mt Hood. Your dog will be happy that you brought him along on this getaway retreat with the river to play in and the gated, dead-end road for taking long walks. The national forest just across the street from the cabin is a perfect place for your dog to explore and run. •On the Sandy River in Zigzag •Open Great Room •Quiet Dead-end Road in a Gated Neighborhood •Wood-burning Fireplace •Starter Supply of Firewood Provided •Fully-Equipped Kitchen •1 King Bed in the Bedroom Upstairs •1 Queen Bed in Bedroom Upstairs •1 Queen Sofa Bed in the Bedroom Upstairs •1 Queen Bed in Bedroom Downstairs •2 Full Bathrooms •Private, Outdoor Hot Tub •Deck with Propane BBQ and Deck Furniture •Cable TV •Internet Speed: High - more than 100 Mbps •Land Line Phone w / Free Long Distance (limited cell service) •Washer / Dryer •Your Dogs are Welcome! •No Smoking •1832 Square Feet •Property Elevation: 1550 Feet •Note: Snowy roads and driveway require traction devices (chains or snow tires) and 4WD for access during the winter •Parking: Max 3 Vehicles, No Street Parking •Sleeps 8 •No Parties, Weddings or Events, Please This is a dog friendly property, maximum of two pup(s) allowed.

Our team wears new masks, gloves and shoes covers each time they enter home to prepare it for a new stay. We clean and disinfect all hard surfaces and high-touch items such as appliance handles, light switches, door knobs, remote controls, etc. We also clean and disinfect all dishes/glassware, silverware, bedding, towels and other linens as well as tubs and toilets. Meredith Lodging has added the extra measure of a pre-check-in inspection to make sure all of our cleaning and disinfecting procedures are complete and to our standard before you arrive. Once it passes inspection, your home sits empty until you arrive for your contact-free check-in. Additionally, if your home features a private hot tub, rest assured it is disinfected, treated and cleaned thoroughly after each departure so that you and your guests can enjoy it with peace of mind during your stay.
