Fit for any season, this Mount Hood hideaway is waiting to welcome you to cozy mountain living. Complete with a private hot tub and a large backyard, this family-friendly retreat offers convenient access to year-round activities and adventure. Rock-hoppers can conquer French's Dome, just a short drive up the road, and fantastic fly fishing can be found up and down the mountain. You'll be a short drive to Lake Trillium and Mirror Lake. Hit the slopes at Timberline, Ski Bowl, or Hood Meadows in the winter and enjoy scenic hikes, alpine lakes, and off-road recreation throughout the rest of the year.
After the day's adventures, unwind in the hot tub or relax on the back deck while listening to the sounds of the Sandy River rolling behind the home. The stainless steel kitchen is well-equipped for home cooking, and the living area sets the stage for casual downtime with a plush sectional, armchair, and smart TV for family comfort. A private washer/dryer and free WiFi round out the home essentials. Guests will have access to a seasonal pool, a basketball court, and an HOA clubhouse with pool tables. There are also several trails next to the river within walking distance of the home.

This house was amazing! Located in the woods there were some spider webs on the outside of the house, which alarmed my kids for about 5 seconds. Then, as soon as the door opened they were in love immediately. My wife and kids said we should buy and use the house for our summer cabin. They loved the decorations, amenities, and small extra things the homeowner added: little cereal packages, granola bars, and sodas in the pantry. We loved this property!

Pictures are deceiving.
The pictures make this house look bright inside. It is not. Lighting is not good at all. On the surface, the house looks clean, but open a cabinet or drawer and all you find is filth. We had to wash anything that we took out of a kitchen cabinet or drawer. The oven racks look as if someone cooked meat right on the racks, no pan. Because of that, the house smelled like a burning meat whenever we used the oven. THREE GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE KITCHEN: the coffee maker is new and updated. Works very well. The refrigerator serves water and ice from the door. The dishwasher is top notch.
The couch is awful! Not comfortable AT ALL. The green chair in the living room is broken. The kitchen table needs replaced. The house does not heat evenly.
Beds were okay. The faucet in the master bath can barely be turned on or it sprays all over!
The neighborhood is quiet. Plenty of parking.
We did not use the shower/tub. All of the towels were "non absorbent" as if they had been washed with softner. We washed the kitchen towels and the grimy pot holders the first day to make sure that they were clean.
We were extremely disappointed.

We had a wonderful cozy mountain stay at the Fox Den and it was the perfect place to celebrate my son turning 18. Perfect proximity to skiing, snowshoeing, and inner tubing and then back to the cabin to prepare a warm meal a soak in the relaxing hot tub. The rooms had wonderful simple decor and the beds were comfortable. We made wonderful memories there.

Weekend getaway
The home was in a nice location. We had a few issues upon arrival which really bumped into our evening plans. Pipes had bursted before we arrived which caused a lot of flooding in the garage. Vacasa was great at getting someone out to help with issue, but issue really interfered with our evening. Also, bedding was not fresh and had animal hair inside beds. The floors were not clean and had dirt, animal hair, food crumbs throughout. Some dusting would be really nice as well as some lights need fresh bulbs. Listing states it is dog friendly, but home should still be cleaned properly for those who do not have dogs when staying. I probably wouldn’t stay here again if offered.
Some item updates for kitchen that would be helpful is scissors, plastic baggies, and foil. Most items in kitchen were helpful. Master shower does not work well and might need a new shower head.

Amazing
Great location to bars store short drive to ski bowl and hiking trails. Fenced yard for dogs plus hot tub. Snack pantry it was really cool
Lovely house with lots of recent remodeling. The hot tub was great, but requires two able-bodied adults to move the cover off and on. Easy walking access to the river. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. I'm not sure if it's mentioned in the listing, but they included access to a community pool which would have been fun if the weather was warmer. The kitchen isn't terribly-well stocked - no toaster, no kitchen towels, no mixing bowls, box grater, dish drain, stuff like that. So if you plan to cook, bring whatever you may need. The appliances they did provide (oven, microwave, etc) were all in good working order.

Yard needs a lot of work.
Main issue was the yard had not been mowed or taken care of for a while. Grass and weeds were over 2 feet tall. Also, there was a massive hole in the fence where you pup of any size can get out. Basically the yard is not useable past the hot tub.
Arrived and the cleaners were still there. Couldn't into the home until 2.5 hours after check in at with no contact or information on the delay or when it would be ready from property management.
House itself is cute and comfortable. But the yard issue was a bummer when you are looking to use it for yourself or let the pups run around. Also, communication was disappointing and not helpful.
