Blue A’Lure: Stunning Riverfront Retreat on the Sandy River

Nestled in the heart of Brightwood, Oregon, Blue A’Lure is a magical riverfront haven perched on the serene edge of the Sandy River, just 20 minutes from Mt. Hood’s premier ski activities. This unforgettable escape promises lasting memories for families, couples, and nature lovers alike, earning unanimous 5-star praise from guests for its breathtaking beauty, flawless condition, and exceptional hospitality.

"Absolutely stunning location right on the river! We had an amazing time." – Jade

Wake up to the soothing sounds of the roaring river and sip your morning coffee in a cozy rocking chair on the covered 2nd-floor balcony, watching the sunrise paint the water in golden hues. Spend your day exploring Mt. Hood’s hiking trails, skiing slopes, or fishing spots—or simply unwind at home. Rejuvenate in the glass-front barrel sauna, soaking in stunning river views, or relax in the 6-person hot tub, nestled amidst trees with the river’s melody as your backdrop. For endless fun, dive into the game room, where air hockey, a poker table, and a 75” theatre TV with electronic games, puzzles, and Karaoke keep guests of all ages entertained. Guests rave about these “fantastic amenities,” calling them “a blast” for kids and adults alike.

"The hot tub and sauna next to the river was quite amazing! The kids loved the electronic games and air hockey." – Stephanie

Inside, exposed beams, large windows, and vaulted ceilings flood the space with natural light, creating a charming, stylish, and inviting atmosphere. The home is impeccably maintained—guests describe it as “squeaky clean,” “flawless,” and “well-appointed with everything you could need.” Cook gourmet meals in a fully stocked kitchen, complete with spices, pots, pans, utensils, and baking items, praised as “perfect to cook meals” and “stocked with just what we needed.” Laugh around the dining table, snuggle by the fireplace, or gather on the gorgeous deck with a pellet stove for warmth, enjoying the “breathtaking views” and “peaceful vibe.”

"Flawless and clean, with everything we needed—5 stars+++!" – Mehul

At night, roast marshmallows by the riverside fire pit under a star-filled sky, creating core memories as the river whispers in the background. Open a window to drift off to the river’s soothing sounds—a “magical” touch guests adore. The property’s spacious, super roomy layout accommodates groups, from families with kids and pets to couples on honeymoons, with “great open space” for indoor and outdoor meals, games, and relaxation.

"Magical & peaceful—perfect for a family getaway. We’ll be back!" – Alex

Kelly’s exceptional hospitality shines through, with guests calling the host “great,” “very responsive,” and “thoughtful,” leaving extras like sleds for snow adventures, holiday touches, and disposable bakeware for Thanksgiving. This serene retreat, just a short drive from town for groceries, blends seclusion with accessibility, making it “perfect for a quick getaway” or “yearly retreat.” Visitors love its “modern, well-stocked, inviting home” feel, its “stunning location right on the river,” and the “peaceful, relaxing ambiance” that feels like “above our expectations.”

"Kelly was an excellent host—very thoughtful and accommodating. Highly recommend!" – Isabelle

Guests promise to return, recommending it as “100% worth your money” and a “true gem of a place” for its flawless cleanliness, thoughtful touches, and magical riverfront setting.
