Bob's Riverfront Retreat - Brightwood, OR

Embrace the wonder of nature on the Sandy River at this peaceful cottage that feels like home. This magical place on 1.5 wooded acres is sublime for a couple’s quiet getaway or a contemplative solo escape. Here, the river will inspire you to reconnect with the natural world.

Framed by 100-year-old cedars, the cottage offers dazzling views of the river. Cross the wooden footbridge over the seasonal creek and walk a few steps to the water’s edge. You may see ducks or a heron fishing, migrating birds sunning on the rocks, a resident eagle soaring above, or baby salmon fingerlings gathered in the shaded pools.

This newly renovated riverfront retreat remains true to its 1950s summer house origins. It still has the big blue bathtub and red cedar-shingled exterior but now shines with simple luxury and modern amenities tucked into the one-level floor plan. Although the cottage feels secluded, it is minutes from Sandy and Welches, shops and restaurants, golfing, Mt. Hood, hiking trails, waterfalls, fishing, gas, and EV charging stations.
For an unforgettable sunset, lean back in your lounge chair and watch the river as the last sunlight dances on the moving water. Then whip up something fabulous for dinner in the sparkling kitchen. Or grill and dine al fresco on the patio as the stars twinkle.

After a day of playing on Mt. Hood, kayaking from your beach, or mountain biking the nearby Sandy Ridge Trail, cozy up in front of the wood-burning stove, stream a movie, or head off to dreamland in the comfy bed and let the river sing you nature’s lullaby from an open window. Discover the delights and benefits of a quiet escape to Bobʻs Riverfront Retreat. The river is calling! Book now.
