Charming, riverfront cabin with fireplace - dog-friendly

This is a two-story wood cabin set right along the Sandy River in Welches, Oregon, near Mt Hood Village. The waterfront setting means you can hear the river from the deck or while making coffee in the full kitchen, and hiking trails are close by. Mt. Hood's restaurants and ski slopes are about 13 miles away for anyone who wants a change of scenery.

Inside, the cabin has two bedrooms - one with a queen bed, one with a double - plus a loft holding a queen bed and a twin sofa bed, bringing total capacity to six guests. Evenings tend to center on the wood-burning fireplace in the living room or the outdoor fire pit, with board games on hand for the dining table. The kitchen comes equipped with a dishwasher, microwave and stove, and the property has internet access and a TV for downtime. Dogs are welcome and can use the fenced yard.

Rates run around $197 a night on average, and bookings go through Vacasa. A pet fee of $150 per stay applies and should be added during booking or arranged with the host ahead of arrival. Renters must be at least 25 years old. The exact address is shared only after a reservation is confirmed, and cancellation terms should be checked before paying in full.
