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. Sleeping Arrangements: Bedroom 1 (main level): Queen bed Bedroom 2 (main level): Twin bed + Twin bed in trundle format Living / sleeping combo (upstairs loft area): Queen bed Amenities: ★ Huge new deck overlooking the Sandy River ★ Open living, dining, and kitchen layout ★ Hot tub on deck with river and forest views \*We strive to make sure hot tubs are working at all times.

That being said, this is not a party or gathering house for groups that can't control their noise levels. We have relationships with all of our neighbors who have our direct contact information. Quiet time is 10:00 pm to 8:00 am. Please stay indoors during this time, keep the windows and doors closed and keep the volume to an enjoyable but reasonable level. If it is loud enough to be heard outside in these conditions, it is too loud for you to remain our guest. This property includes a noise alert monitoring system in order to ensure that neighborhood noise levels are respected. Again, please realize we want every group to enjoy their time, laugh, have fun and make memories. These devices are only to ensure noise levels don't reach a threshold that bothers our neighbors. Also, please note there is no electronic video surveillance monitoring pools or spas, or on the interior of the house. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a river ### Things to do - Birdwatching - Kayaking - Shopping - Hiking/biking trails nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 1,174 square feet ## Similar properties ![Free daily full breakfast ](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/40000/34200/34102/e56fbf24.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Best Western Plus Columbia River Inn Cascade Locks - Pool - Hot tub - Breakfast included - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 1,003 reviews £123 includes taxes & fees 19 Apr - 20 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-19&endDate=2026-04-20&selected=34102&PinnedHotelID=34102&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116860000/116853800/116853726/4e11abbd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cambria Hotel Portland - Pearl District Pearl District - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Gym 9.8 Exceptional 373 reviews £111 includes taxes & fees 19 Apr - 20 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-19&endDate=2026-04-20&selected=116853726&PinnedHotelID=116853726&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Lobby sitting area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/48000000/47060000/47052300/47052234/be7b69fa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cedartree Hotel Portland Hillsboro Hillsboro - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Air-conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 1,184 reviews £95 includes taxes & fees 9 Apr - 10 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-09&endDate=2026-04-10&selected=47052234&PinnedHotelID=47052234&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Building design](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/880000/871800/871784/d17c3e22.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Inn at Northrup Station Northwest Portland - Breakfast included - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 9.4 Exceptional 2,171 reviews £124 includes taxes & fees 19 Apr - 20 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-19&endDate=2026-04-20&selected=871784&PinnedHotelID=871784&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Indoor pool, open 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, free pool cabanas, pool loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88930000/88928600/88928539/w8637h5754x0y0-ddb2c00d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ilani Ridgefield - Pool - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant 9.2 Wonderful 758 reviews £161 includes taxes & fees 23 Apr - 24 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-23&endDate=2026-04-24&selected=88928539&PinnedHotelID=88928539&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![View from property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77970000/77963200/77963158/d0b5eee6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### AC Hotel Vancouver Waterfront Downtown Vancouver - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Air-conditioning - Gym 9.0 Wonderful 363 reviews £158 includes taxes & fees 19 Apr - 20 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-19&endDate=2026-04-20&selected=77963158&PinnedHotelID=77963158&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98550000/98548700/98548630/360c9166.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peaceful Mt.
