Mt. Hood Alpine Chalet w/ hot tub, kid & dog friendly
A picturesque European chalet tucked into a forested community sitting on the banks of the Sandy River, complete with a public pool and tennis court. Bigger adventures are just a 10-minute pedal away where the Sandy Ridge Trail System offers premiere mountain biking. Take a 20-minute drive to Government Camp and find all the skiing and hiking your heart desires. After an exhilarating day, slip back to the cabin and unwind in Pacific Northwest style.

This cabin is just perfection for a cozy family mountain getaway. We brought our dog and twin 4 year olds and the space had everything we needed for everyone. I kept saying to myself, "Wow, they've thought of everything!" Aside from being clean, well-appointed and stocked, location and communication with the hosts was also great. They shared all pertinent details for check in and check out clearly and even gave us great recommendations for playing in the snow. We will definitely be coming back!

Wonderful & Relaxing Mountain Cabin Getaway
Absolutely loved our stay at the Mt. Hood Alpine Chalet with all its amenities and thought out decor. Fireplace prepared with wood and kindling, hot tub clean and preheated, propane hooked up to bbq, cooking utensils and little goodies (try the homemade hot chocolate!) in the kitchen made our stay very enjoyable and recommendable. Communication with the owner was super quick, helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay there again :)

Had a wonderful week in your home!
We spent Thanksgiving week and had the whole family – eight of us – and were very comfortable. The area is lovely and we enjoyed short walks to the river and drives up to Mount Hood. My wife and I had not seen snow in about 15 years, and loved seeing and playing in it up near the mountain.
It was a great experience from beginning to end. We hope to come back someday soon!
All the beds are very comfortable. We used the hot tub every day and also the fire pit in the backyard. The fenced backyard was great for the puppy dog. We could not believe how well stocked the kitchen was and you really had everything we needed.
Plenty of fun restaurants around to explore. The town of Sandy is just a short drive away and has everything you need. Make sure and find the donut shop.

Super Cozy Mountain Chalet
We loved our stay in this chalet close to Mount Hood. The house was exactly as described, the beds super comfortable, and the hot tub so nice to slip into after a day of hiking to soothe sore muscles. The house had everything we needed and we enjoyed the extra touches of the tea and hot chocolate provided, games, and plenty of towels and toilet paper. Would stay there again. The owner was very communicative and provided info on anything you needed.

Our Summer Stay Was Okay
We stayed here over Labor Day weekend with the family and grandparents. The first thing that stood out was how narrow the house is compared to the pictures. Nevertheless, there was enough room for the family.
The main reason we booked this property was because it had a community pool. Unbeknownst to us, the pool was closed the entire time we were there. There was no communication from the owner prior to our arrival about it and requests for a partial reimbursement went unanswered.
The neighborhood is a mix of vacation cabins, houses, and dumpy hoarder properties.
The chalet was well stocked with everything you need to cook or play. The hot tub and firepit were nice. The location is close to a lot of outdoor activities Mt. Hood has to offer.

Quiet oasis in the woods
Wow, what a great property! The home is just as pictured. It’s clean and bright. The hot tub was lovely on the cold mornings and the pool and river were a quick walk away on the hot afternoons. We traveled with two kids and there were so many amenities ready for them - washable sleeping bags, books, toys etc. the nook in the middle bedroom is delightful. The house was stocked for the adults too- beds were comfortable, plenty of pans for cooking, and dishes /utensils so you don’t have to wash after every meal. Plenty of towels too! The neighbors were all friendly. Overall exceptional.

Great family spot
We loved how there was something for everyone in our family to enjoy. Our two year old loved the kiddie loft, and the gas fire pit was a convenient place to relax after bedtimes.
Location was great for going on walks. There’s beautiful trails all around the neighborhood.
We had a comfortable stay and would visit again.

Great place to stay!
We had a wonderful stay. All the little extras made us feel comfortable and at home. It was super nice to have the pool, tennis/pickle ball court and river access just steps away. The backyard was great for our dogs and we enjoyed the hot tub outside our back door. We hope to return!
