We only stayed over here because of location. Last minute decision when we flew into Portland in route to Bend Oregon. Wanted to stay out of the city and this was right on the route over scenic Mt Hood. We came in after dark and awoke to this perfectly kept, beautiful lodge right where the Salmon and Sandy Rivers merge AND amazing breakfast with the lightest, best waffles you could ever imagine. Next time we will bring waders, fly poles, reading hammock and stay for at least a week.
I was very impressed by this place. My wife and I went here on our wedding night. I had never been here before but when I walked in I could not help myself but soak in the scenery. This log cabin, built by the owner, is a wonderful piece of art. The entire inside of the log cabin is decked out with decorations and makes you feel that you are in a cabin in the woods...which you are! Right as you enter the front door, you meet an indoor pond with Coy fish, which I thought was pretty neat. This B & B is by the highway, but because the property is large and the rivers (Sandy river and Salmon river) are right by the B & B, you feel as if you are tucked away, far from all roads. The location is fantastic and convenient, the cabin is beautiful, the owners are extremely kind, and the food is wonderful. My wife and I were catered to with a vegan and vegetarian FEAST when we woke up in the morning. We were even asked when we wanted to eat, rather than "be here at this time". I could go on and on about how great this place is, but you will just have to find out for yourself! Enjoy! 10/10 would recommend. We stayed in the Fishing Hole room...and the river was a roarin'!
The location of the Sandy Salmon is great if you are going to Mount Hood or hiking - there are beautiful trails all around and the Sandy Salmon is on a main road which is very convenient. The grounds and the house are absolutely beautiful - one of the prettiest log homes I have seen. The 5 acre lot overlooks the intersection of two rivers and there are chairs set up next to the river to sit and relax or fish. We stayed in the Fishing Hole room which was the perfect size for two people and the balcony overlooked the rivers. We slept with the door open to hear the water all night. The hosts couldn't have been nicer and the breakfast was amazing. There was a very nice theater room and also a pool table. We would have loved to have stayed longer!
Spent 4 nights at Sandy Salmon. What an amazing place! Maggie and Jerry are an amazing couple. Their home is very welcoming warm and is open to their guests with very clean rooms and absolutely delicious breakfasts made by Maggie. Their house is a work of art and a delight to just sit in the living room and look out the window. What great hosts! Jerry also let me feed the fish in the beautiful in-ground aquarium. My wife and I had a wonderful vacation at Sandy Salmon and if ever in the area, Maggie and Jerry's home will be the only place in which we will stay. Thank you so much Maggie and Jerry and Blessings to you both Pierre and Barb A.
I stayed one night during a solo road trip in September 2018. Sandy Salmon B&B is a wonderful find on the shoulder of Mt Hood. An authentic mountain lodge at the confluence of the Sandy and Salmon rivers. The views of the rivers from the back deck are magnificent and the sounds of the water will rock you to sleep at night. Jerry and Maggie are attentive hosts, offering local dining suggestions and cooking a hearty breakfast in the morning. You will feel like family when you visit. The rooms are finished in rustic but high comfort style, I stayed in the "Fishing Hole" room at the back of the house and had peace and quiet, especially enjoyed reading on my lighted shaded private balcony. The main house boasts a game room including a pool table. Highly recommended for solos and couples, whether seeking a romantic getaway or just a quiet and comfortable stay. I will certainly call again if I am back in this corner of the world.
