Welcome to Bright and Cozy by Gather! Chill in the charming ambiance of this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in the peaceful woodland neighborhood at Mt. Hood Village. This quintessential Pacific Northwest home combines a vibrant & organic design style with sleek & elegant furnishings for a comfortable home-away-from-home as you traverse the great outdoors of the majestic Mt. Hood wilderness.
Enter the bright and spacious open-concept common area with a large polished wooden dining table that seats ten under a modern light fixture as the room’s centerpiece. To the right of the table is the gourmet and well-stocked kitchen, equipped with all stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and forest views for an enjoyable culinary experience shared with your guests. To the left of the dining table is the cozy living area furnished with a leather couch, armchairs, and a large mounted flatscreen smart television, as well as a wood-burning fireplace on a detailed stone hearth, setting the welcoming tone for warm firelit nights cuddling up with friends and family while admiring the excellent outer forest views.
Step outside of the sliding glass doors of the living area to bask in the beauty of the back patio, which holds a dining table set for 6, Adirondack lounge recliners, a children’s playhouse, a horseshoe pit, and a barbecue grilling station for friendly cookout evenings amidst the hanging twinkle lights. Take a dip in the outdoor covered hot tub for a hot soak under the starlit Oregon night sky overhead. Surrounded by numerous large native trees and plants, with plenty of yard space to wander, including a small creek, this private backyard is the perfect locale for serene moments of morning light or an array of afternoon festivities.
The primary bedroom on the 1st floor comes furnished with a plush king bed, a sitting chair, two large closets, and a private ensuite with a large dual vanity and walk-in shower. Guest bedroom two upstairs comes carpeted and includes a king bed, sitting chair, and forested views. In contrast, carpeted Guest bedroom 3, "the bunk room," consists of a queen bed with a twin trundle, a twin-over-twin bunk bed with an additional twin trundle, and a porta-crib is also available upon request. There is also a teepee fort in this room for indoor camping adventures for the children. Guest bedrooms 2 & 3 shares the full bath on the 2nd floor with a large vanity and shower/tub combo.
The home comes with a 2-car garage with a bike rack and a laundry room with a washer, dryer, iron & board, sink, and ample storage space for outdoor recreational gear. The home is within walking or biking distance of several shops, restaurants, bars, breweries, parks, and grocery stores in Mt. Hood Village. It is a short drive to the many marvelous outdoor exploration sites. From kayaking, white-water rafting, fishing, mountain biking, and hiking in the summer to skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and snowshoeing the world-class slopes at Timberline Lodge in the winter, there is no shortage of fun to be had in the great outdoors at Mt. Hood. As a guest at the Bright & Cozy home, guests will also have access to the community pool, tennis, and basketball court at the nearby Mt. Hood Oregon Resort, which is only 0.8 miles (a 17-minute walk) from the house.
Pets are welcome with advance notice, agreement to the pet rules, and payment of a pet fee. Reach out to management for specific details regarding pets. We have included a pet nook for your furry friend, a pet bed, and bowls.
You will need a car to get here, but you can easily walk or bike to local restaurants and stores. Mt Hood Express also runs up and down the mountain from Sandy to Timberline, so if you want to hit the slopes but want to avoid driving in the snow, check them out!
