Your Stay, Your Way
We want you to enjoy your stay on your terms. Whether you prefer complete privacy or need recommendations and assistance, we're here to support you. Our team is just a message away to answer questions, provide local tips, or assist with anything that enhances your experience. We respect your space but are always available if you need us—just reach out!

Our Lodge is located next to the Jonsrud Viewpoint. The viewpoint offers telescopes and expansive views of Mt. Hood and the Sandy River Valley, as well as the “Devil’s Backbone,” a ridge named by pioneers who were traveling on the Oregon Trail. The site has been considered one of the “best views in Oregon” (although we think that the view off of our back deck is better!!!
"For those who appreciate a small resourceful community amidst the splendor of Oregon, Sandy — perfectly balanced between Mt. Hood and the city of Portland — embodies a rare, independent spirit that combines the pioneer and the visionary, and defines the Sandy way of life."

You will have access to the entire Lodge. Keyless entry makes coming and going on your daily outings easy. We will send you a unique 4 digit PIN code that will activate at your check-in time.

Scenic View Lodge: Perfect for Gatherings
Designed for unforgettable moments, this spacious home features a dream kitchen and natural gas BBQ. The open layout connects the living, dining, and outdoor spaces seamlessly.

The deck offers a gas fire pit, hot tub, and dining area with stunning views of the Sandy River and Mt. Hood.

Enjoy 3 king bedrooms with views and 2 bunk rooms with games for kids. Centrally located for Portland events, Mt. Hood skiing, hiking, and fishing.

The Lodge is located just under a mile from downtown Sandy. You can easily walk or bike to get to town but our sometimes inclement weather makes these options a bit less desireable. Once in the downtown area it is very walkable with lots of boutique businesses to explore.

please note that there is no smoking on or around the property including the outdoor deck. Also please note that there are no loud parties allowed as we have neighbors and want to be respectful of their peace and quiet.

Stunning views cozy accommodations

We loved out time at this house. We couldnt get over the views. The hot tub in the evenings were icing on the beautiful cake. Would come back for the view alone but the house was cozy and accommodating for my family of 6 with small children.

Perfect place to enjoy the vistas from the home and back deck

This rental was exactly what we were hoping for. The photo of the vista views on the back deck is an accurate portrayal of what you'll see on the deck. The spacious deck is the perfect spot to chill and hang out on an afternoon. Nice kitchen.

Beautiful view of Mount Hood

Every morning we had an absolutely beautiful view of Mount Hood. The location of the house was great for day excursions. We visted Columbia gorge one day and Mt Hood and wineries another. We even drove to Astoria and Cannon beach on one of our day trips. The owners were quick to respond when we had trouble unlocking the front door. Dissues with it aftertrips.

The Best Part of Portland

Absolute amazing view. First off, can’t explain the beauty of the view. It was breathtaking. Several people said it was the best part of the trip. Comfortable beds, fun hot tub, plenty of towels, and a great host. It was so easy to figure out check in and the host was so understanding about everything. The house was well-stocked with plenty of towels, which was a big plus for our group. The AC kept us perfectly cool during our stay, making it a comfortable retreat from the summer heat. The beds were incredibly soft, ensuring that everyone got a restful night's sleep. We had the most amazing time in the entire world at this VRBO. The combination of the fantastic amenities and the unbeatable view made this a trip to remember. We can't wait to come back!

The view is so much better in person

The highlight of this property is really the view. Mt Hood is just gorgeous, and the property also sits over a bend in the Sandy River with forest all around. You can even see what I think is Mt St Helens on a sunny day. The deck, hot tub, fire pit, and the small private deck are all just incredibly places to take on the view and the many birds. Even on a cloudy morning, this view is breathtaking. The property was clean, well furnished, beds were comfortable, there were plenty of towels. We rent homes fairly often and are always pleased to have a well stocked kitchen - this house was fantastic in that regard! I loved the bunk bed setup as there was more sleeping room available for the group. The only downside was the property is right off of the main road which is a little noisy and at night, there are lots of lights of cars driving by. I think curtains in front would help a lot with this. Beautiful property and we hope to be back! 10am checkout is too early, hence one lower star, although the host graciously gave us an extra hour as no one was checking in. However, to really get the value of what is being paid for, reasonable check in and check out times should be provided, not the absolute minimum.

Comfortable with lots of space

This house has plenty of room and an awesome view. Was surprised by lack of finishing touches on this house though. Don't expect to really cook here as the kitchen cabinets are pretty empty outside your basic cups and plates. Adding a cutting board and some bowls would be a great addition. We had a great, relaxing stay (girls weekend). Hottub is small but clean. Owners were quick to communicate when needed.

Ellie’s wedding

Our trip to Sandy, OR was for my niece’s wedding. The view from the back of the house was absolutely spectacular!! We would suggest a stronger internet service. With two teenagers and two adults trying to work remotely, it was a struggle. The kitchen could use additional basic supplies and cookware. These sound like complaints, but they are merely suggestions. We opted for eating out most meals and enjoying the surroundings! We would definitely stay in this VRBO again!! Thank you!

Our new "Best Place Ever!"

The home is very clean and inviting. The ever-changing view of the valley and Mt Hood is so spectacular, its hard to put into words. Our stay was exactly what we had hoped it to be. The owner is easy to reach and it was a real pleasure to communicate with him. We'll be back!

Beautiful View - Responsive Host - Needs Updated Pictures

Incredible views and very responsive host. Listing could use updated pictures as the deck has aged significantly and some items no longer remain. Great location for exploring Mt. Hood, Portland, and Willamette Valley. Would stay again.

All about that view

The stunning view really does get you once you walk in. Some parts of the home were damaged upon arrival, such as a bathroom mirror, bathroom window, and the footboard in one of the bedrooms. The deck could also use some TLC. Downstairs was very nice and comfortable with ample seating for visiting family (and don't forget that view). The driveway is wider than it is long, which was a little unexpected but we managed to fit our vehicles in just fine. The hot tub was a nice perk, though it was unfortunately not hot our first night because it was emptied or topped off before our arrival and it didn't seem super clean. Overall a fine visit. We booked it mainly for the view and expectations were exceeded in that department.

The View is as good as promised

Me and some friends went to Sandy for a Guys weekend a bit off the beaten path, and this property was great for that. The view was amazing, everyone got their own room(the Upstairs Master bedroom felt bigger than the whole place I rented in Seattle two weeks ago)...the Hot Tub was fun(plenty of towels for showers and hot tub)...just a good fun place. Why not 5 stars? There were a few maintenance issues on the house: some chipped tiles in the kitchen, and you could tell at some point someone had put a small dog in the downstairs bathroom, because it had scratched the bathroom door. And, finally one of the pictures showed an outdoor firepit with a grill set up(so you could cave man cook outside) and that had been replaced by a propane firepit. Fine for sitting around less fine for cooking. There is a whole kitchen and a propane grilm. I had just been looking forward to maybe cooking outside over flames. But 10/10 would stay here again!

View didn’t disappoint

This rental home has the potential to be an amazing, home away from home experience. By far the best thing about the place is the stunning view. Our group loves to cook but unfortunately the kitchen and items in the kitchen were dirty, very worn down and or didn’t work. Two can openers, neither worked. Children’s plastic cups with paint in them. There were no extra kitchen garbage bags in the house. We found many bugs in the house; spiders, moths and beetles. The window sills could be wiped down to be cleaned and dead bugs removed. We decided to not use the hot tub as the water looked low and the hot tub looked dirty. The master bed was very comfortable. The hall bathroom shower upstairs has very poor water pressure so we ended up using only 2 of the 3 showers. Overall, the property and items in this rental are run down and the place could use some deep cleaning both inside and out.

Perfect stay for our family!

The house was perfect for us - a few families with a couple kids. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, making meals in the kitchen, all the space, and of course, the amazing view! Thankful there was a cooler on the deck, as we filled the fridge with food. Parking/driveway is the only con here (steep/small/tricky/limited view to exit), but understandable considering the bluff/cliff and the view. We would stay here again! Lovely time. Thank you!
