The Space:

Created as the ultimate vacation rental, this house features a stunning kitchen, a massive master bedroom with soaking tub, two upstairs suites with full baths, one bedroom downstairs, and a bunk room with 8 twin beds. All the woodwork and much of the furniture was hand built from wood harvested from the property. The 700 sq ft covered deck features a hot tub, BBQ, outdoor dining table, and tons of seating.
This 6 acre property has an outdoor fire pit area, picnic tables, hand built log bridges across the seasonal creek, two beach areas (depending on water levels) and access to a community trail that follows the Sandy River. There is even a large cleared outdoor area that would be perfect for weddings or other events. For big groups that still want their own space, consider renting all 4 houses, for a shared, yet separate event.

The Neighborhood:
Nestled by the Sandy River on Brightwood Loop Rd, you feel miles away from civilization, but in reality are less than 5 minutes away from HWY 26 near Zig Zag. At mere 20 minutes from Timberline Lodge, you can beat the traffic up the mountain to ski without having to get up too early.
Other Things to Note:
Tankless water heater supplies endless hot water to ensures that everyone can get clean and warm after a day on the mountain. Run 2-3 showers at same time.
EV Chargers have Tesla (NACS) Style plugs, if you need an adapter, please bring it with you. Chargers are rated for 8KW and charge a Tesla from 0% in about 9 hours.
It snows here occasionally. Winter on the mountain is unpredictable, chains / shovel for your vehicle are recommended.
Good internet, reasonable cell service. Some GPS / apps will try to send you to the middle of the Sandy River, cross check with the location map!
The Sandy River is COLD, as we are near the glaciers that feed it. It is also fast moving and swimming or wading is recommended to only be done at low flow in the summer.
Please check with local authorities for burn bans and fishing information. Clackamas County regulations allow for 15 guests maximum, if you have a larger group, consider booking 2 adjacent houses on this property.
