Riverside Retreat with Hot Tub & Deck | Peaceful Escape on the Sandy River in the Pines
Welcome to Whispers on the Sandy – a serene riverside retreat tucked beneath towering pines on the banks of the Sandy River. 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.

Additional Information
We truly want you to enjoy your time and make some wonderful memories with your group. 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.
