About this property

Riverside Retreat with Hot Tub & Deck | Peaceful Escape on the Sandy River in the Pines

  • Welcome to Whispers on the Sandy – a serene riverside retreat tucked beneath towering pines on the banks of the Sandy River. This one-of-a-kind mountain escape offers breathtaking river views from nearly every corner, both inside and out, making it the perfect destination for a peaceful getaway. A private foot path leads you down to the river’s edge, a fire pit, and a community trail along the waterfront. The tucked-away neighborhood of Timberline Rim offers small parks and additional river access.



    Step outside onto the expansive deck and let nature surround you. Whether you're dining al fresco at the large outdoor table or soaking in the private hot tub under a canopy of evergreens, the soothing sights and sounds of the river and forest will set the tone for total relaxation.



    Inside, the home has been thoughtfully renovated and updated, blending rustic charm with modern comfort. Warm wood tones, cozy textures, and a mountain lodge feel make it a welcoming haven in every season. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area brings everyone together—whether you're sipping coffee by the fire or preparing a meal while admiring the river through the windows.



    Whispers on the Sandy is more than a home—it's a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience the tranquil magic of the Pacific Northwest.

Sandy River House

This was a lovely house facing the Sandy River. It was a very quiet stay with a lot of great amenities. The view an hot tub were a major bonus! It was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the decor was nice too! Some things to keep in mind: for snow activities make sure you bring your own gear as this place does not offer that. The HVAC system is VERY loud and takes a long time to heat up the main part of the house, but the bedrooms get very hot. The stairs to the loft are quite dangerous and are not meant for anybody who has difficulty walking.

This was hands down the coziest little cabin and everything we were hoping for. The direct access to the Sandy River was our favorite part with the adorable walkway leading right down to the water made it so easy to spend time by the river. It was incredibly peaceful!!!After long days of hiking, soaking in the jacuzzi on the back porch was the perfect way to unwind. And every morning, I looked forward to sipping my coffee on the porch while listening to the sound of the river. It was so relaxing that I know I'll be dreaming about those mornings for a long time.The cabin was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It's the perfect getaway for families or couples looking to disconnect and enjoy nature.We absolutely loved our stay, will definitely be back, and highly recommend this little slice of paradise!

This property is really special. The location is perfect for Mt Hood activities. The house is really spacious, especially the living/dining room and deck overlooking the Sandy River. The sound of the river is so relaxing it was hard to not want to spend hours on the deck. The house was clean and well appointed. The nice bottle of complimentary Pinot Noir and fresh can of coffee were much appreciated. Thank you to the owners.
