Blue A'Lure sits directly on the Sandy River in Brightwood, Oregon, twenty minutes from the lifts at Mt. Hood Ski Bowl and Timberline Lodge, and close enough to Portland for a weekend without the drive eating into it. Four bedrooms and nine beds sleep up to fifteen, spread across two levels so groups can spread out instead of tripping over each other.

Upstairs, the Primary Suite stretches under vaulted ceilings with a king bed, a private reading nook, and its own 65-inch TV. On the first floor, the Hat Room pairs a king bed with a gas fireplace and a soaking tub that opens straight onto a private patio, and the Blue Room offers two queens with river views. The Bunk/Game/Theatre Room turns movie night into an event with a triple bunk bed (queen, twin and full) plus an air mattress and an 85-inch screen. A sleeper sofa in the upstairs living room adds a ninth bed.

The kitchen is built for real cooking: vaulted ceilings, quartz counters, and Cafe Signature appliances. The living room carries the same vaulted-ceiling, exposed-beam feel with a gas fireplace at its center.

Outside: a glass-front barrel sauna with river views, a hot tub built for six, a private outdoor shower, and a fire pit right on the bank, all set on 150 feet of private river frontage. Downstairs, the game room has air hockey, a poker table, a 32-inch Infinity Game Table, and an 85-inch theatre screen. Free in-unit washer and dryer, dedicated workspace, split A/C. Pets welcome.

WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
Multi-family reunions, ski and snowboard crews twenty minutes from Skibowl and Timberline, bachelor and bachelorette groups, work retreats and offsites, and pet-traveling families.
