About
Welcome to the Spotted Dog Lodge, a luxurious new custom-build retreat nestled in the heart of Rhododendron, Oregon—where timeless mountain charm meets elevated Pacific Northwest design. Surrounded by towering pines and just steps from the serene Zig Zag River, this five-bedroom escape is only nine miles from the slopes of Government Camp, making it the perfect year-round base for adventure and relaxation.
Inside, every inch of the home has been thoughtfully curated with hand-selected décor and furnishings to create the perfect blend of mountain style and exceptional comfort. Natural wood finishes wrap the interior in warmth, while expansive windows frame forest views that shift with the seasons. The main level features two beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms. Upstairs, you’ll find three additional bedrooms—including a quiet, private suite above the garage with its own seating area and kitchenette, ideal for guests seeking a bit more privacy.
The amenity list is as extensive as it is luxurious. Relax in the covered swim spa after a long day of hiking or skiing. Refresh in the steam shower or heated outdoor shower. Tech-savvy travelers will appreciate the hidden motorized TV with Sonos sound bar in the main living area, Sonos audio both inside and out, and two dedicated workspaces with dual 32” monitors. For your comfort and peace of mind, the home is equipped with privacy and blackout blinds in three of the rooms, fire suppression sprinklers, and an ADA-friendly driveway, entrance, and suite.
Entertainment is effortless with TVs in every bedroom and living room, plus a wood-burning stove, fire pit, and propane grill for evenings under the stars. Families will love the kids’ toys, books, dual lofts with cushioned play areas, and extra sleeping space with two pull-out couches and a futon. Play some games upstairs or battle it out on the ping pong table below. Either way, you are in for an unparalleled adventure.
Best of all, you're within walking distance to hiking trails, local coffee shops, restaurants, and entertainment, letting you experience the best of the Mt. Hood area without ever getting in the car.
Whether you’re sipping your favorite drink, enjoying the comforts and views inside, or gathering around the fire after a day on the mountain, the Spotted Dog Lodge offers a truly one-of-a-kind retreat where style, nature, and comfort come together in perfect harmony.
