Clean, lovely home. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and the hot tub was great. Just a short walk to the HOA pool, which was especially nice in the afternoon/evening as it was shaded then. We also spent a lot of young kid time over at Wildwood Recreational Area, which was so close and fun. If you are looking for some access to the outdoors and access to a pool this is a great place!

Great place and has everything that you could possibly need for a stay - plus hot tub, grill, fire pit, access to the HOA pool and close to the river for a refreshing dunk. Great base camp for adventures in the area!

Oregon getaway
This house is well stocked and has all the amenities needed, including a hot tub, for a soak after a long hike. The community is friendly. The comminity pool and Sandy River are about a 5 minute walk from the house. We enjoyed trips to Timberland lodge amd White River, hikes around Mt Hood and a drive into Sandy for Sandbar BBQ- highly recommended (outdoor covered eating). We'd stay here again!
