Family get together
The Lodge was very cozy for our family,the road noise was a bit of an issue and kitchen could use an update but location good for Mt Good activities.
very clean and neat; very close to freeway access to Mt Hood, only about 30 min drive; kitchen well stocked; beds were comfortable; we all enjoyed the game room and the hot tub! Communication w/ the owner was very prompt and helpful.
The house was gorgeous and offered a ton of space. We enjoyed all the amenities and appreciated how easy everything in the house was to operate.
Location was great for being able to go into towns or find a good spot for a meal. Overall a great stay at a lovely cabin.
We came to hang out with family that live in Portland. This place was awesome. Felt at home and cozy. Beautiful trees. We used the game room a lot and it was a plus! The town of Sandy has lots of stores, had everything we needed. Would definitely stay there again.
My friends and I enjoyed the property very much, we chose this lovely spot as our yearly vacation, it was decently close to Mount Hood, close to the highway but unless you had the windows open late at night you couldn’t even tell it was there. Lots of amenities, plenty of things to do there to kill time, and the hosts were lovely and responded to everything so fast and were so thoughtful. I’d highly recommend for groups of 8-12 (if you’re okay with sharing a bed or two).
Overall a wonderful trip! The house was clean and as advertised. Everyone really enjoyed the game room, the beds and couches were comfortable. The only downside was how close the house was to the road, so traffic noise was present, but not unbearable. The kitchen was small, very small fridge and dishwasher for the amount of people, but still functional. We have stayed at many rentals near Mt.Hood and this has been our favorite so far, we will definitely be back!
Our extended family likes to gather a week or so before Christmas so that they can celebrate with us and still have actual Christmas with their other families as well. This property was perfect. 4 bedrooms was perfect for 7 adults, two children, one infant and 2 dogs.. not to mention the pool table, ping pong table, shuffle board and hot tub!!! It was perfect for us.
A large home, suitable for extended families or groups with kids (very kid friendly – there were toys, and they even provided a baby gate that we could put in place at the top of the stairs). The house was clean, and the hot tub was great (although it’s located outside - not indoors as indicated in the photo), the beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the game room was awesome. The only drawbacks are the traffic noise from Hwy 26 right out front and it was hard to keep the house warm despite cranking the heat and the pellet stove.
The outside was so much different than the inside. It was a really nice cabin and smelled like one too. Expected it to be in the woods more but it is right off the highway. We like how easy it was to get back onto highway. We also enjoy the highway noise but if you don’t they have ear plugs and sound machines available. Cabin was great for kiddos and was well equipped with small kids stuff as well such as pack n play , high chair, and baby gate to block stairs. Don’t recommend for anyone that can’t use stairs as there are several.
The place was great overall; we really enjoyed our stay. The communication with the hosts was very welcoming. The air hockey, shuffleboard, hot tub, and record player were a hit with the kids, and there were very comfortable sleeping arrangements for our group of 9. The location was convenient (traffic notwithstanding). There were white noise machines provided in each room to help with any traffic noise, and blinds to help with any lights from Hwy 26. For the price, though, there were a few very minor things that would have bumped our rating from 4 stars to 5:- The blinds were broken (on the floor) in one of the rooms. We contacted the hosts, and they apologized, indicating that there wasn't time to fix it between rentals, which is understandable. We were able to jerry-rig the blinds, so this was fine. - In the downstairs shower, the temperature knob was partly broken (the part of the handle that sticks out and gives purchase for turning). It still worked, but required more force, so the kids weren't able to adjust the shower temperature, needing adult assistance. - The pictures show a ping-pong table (a tabletop that can go over the air hockey table), but the tabletop was in the garage and broken. - There was a mouse caught in a sticky trap on the 2nd day of our stay. We didn't see any other evidence of mice (and they didn't into our food, thankfully). - Given that the place can accommodate large groups, it would have been nice for the dining table to be larger.
It was a nice house with character. A lot of spiders all around the property and the road noise was absolutely insane. I do wish teh listing clearly discussed how many steps there are to get into the house and also to get to downstairs. They offer child gates, but it was a bit intense for our family member with mobility issues and also the small children. Great place for able bodied adults wanting to have a space to hang out, but not so much for elder or small children. We did appreciate the toys and all that was done to make it a welcoming place for all ages. I would stay again but not with ones under 2 or with mobility issues. Back deck was amazing though fro evenings and just being together! All in all it was great for a week stay!
The host family was so nice and extremely communitive. The lodge was a ton of fun. Everyone had a blast. The beds were comfy and the inside of the home was gorgeous. I wish we were staying longer. The hot tub was big and welcoming after a long day at the zoo. The game room with bar was a fun way to celebrate our son turning 21. Tons of happy memories made.
We packed four households/ three generations into one place for days and it was great. Roomy and cozy all at the same time. Loved it. Definitely a repeat when in the area again
We had a wonderful one week stay at The Alder Lodge. The home was welcoming, cozy and clean, beds were comfortable. There was plenty of room for our family. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed the game room and hot tub. Location was perfect as a base for us to explore the beautiful area, including Portland, Mt. Hood, Columbia River Gorge; we also took a longer drive to Cannon Beach/Haystack Rock, which we highly recommend. Sandy is a nice town with options for dining and groceries. We also liked the deck out back with gas fire pit, surrounded by beautiful trees/forest. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Our week went by too quickly, there's so much more to see and do there. We hope to come back someday!
