Location: Government Camp, Mt. Hood, The Gorge, Oregon, USA (One Hour from Portland International Airport.)
Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Keywords: Cabin
This custom-built cedar cabin is four stories high and is located at the 4000 foot level of majestic Mt. Hood. The eastern exposure and large windows bathe the interior with natural light. The tall vaulted ceiling adds to the spacious feeling. A spiral staircase leads to the tower. It's a favorite area for viewing the alpenglow on Mt. Hood, enjoying a glass of wine, planning the next day's activities, reading or taking a nap. You are in the tree tops, eye-to-eye with the ravens. It's everyone's favorite spot.
We hired Jerry Gomes as our builder, not only because of his excellent reputation, but also because he was in charge of the quality restoration projects at historic Timberline Lodge. His touch is evidenced by the custom Timberline front door with its handmade wrought iron hardware and rams head knocker. He hand-selected the blue pine used for the interior. Since the cabin was built it has been repeatedly updated and meticulously maintained.
On a warm day you can open the windows to allow the pine-scented alpine air to waft in. To take the chill away you can light a fire in the wood stove or simply turn up the thermostat for central forced air heat.
Summer or winter, outdoor activities, total relaxation, and lifelong memories are a certainty.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1986
My father moved to Mt. Hood in the late 1930's. He owned and operated a ski shop in the winters and conducted horse pack trips around Mt. Hood in the summers. In 1948 he married my mother and, as they say, the rest is history. I grew up in Government Camp. I am fortunate to have met and married my soul mate (pictured) who loves the mountain as much as I do with all the year-round recreational opportunities it has to offer. Now our children and grandchildren look forward to their trips to the mountain to play, breathe the alpine air, and feel more relaxed than ever in the high altitude. Gary and I own the Lawrence Galleries in Portland, Sheridan in the wine country and at Salishan Resort on the coast. We now have returned to live in Government Camp, so we are available to handle requests you may have.
Why the Owner Chose Government Camp
The cabin is built land that has been in the family since the 1930's. I grew up in the shadows of Mt. Hood, learned to ski on the nearby slopes, and hike most of the trails on the mountain. It is a recreational wonderland. Those fortunate enough to experience this place develop memories to last a lifetime.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
The cabin is a five minute walk from the Government Camp town center as well as the Mt. Hood National Forest Service boundary. By car or shuttle it is minutes away from Timberling Lodge and three major ski resorts. In the summer, it is a beautiful area for backpacking, day hiking, kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking and any manner of outdoor activities. An action park with an alpine slide, go carts, bungee jumping and other activities is available for entertaining kids. Wild flowers abound throughout the summer depending on the altitude and wild huckleberries may be picked in the late summer.

Thanks so much for having such a lovely cabin to stay in while our boys were at ski camp. We loved all the hiking right from the cabin, walking into town for huckleberry milk shakes and the view of Mt. Hood from the beautiful top bedroom. The cabin is so well equipped and tidy, and we had such a relaxing time. Your artwork, wood carvings and local photographs are wonderful!

We had a fantastic time for the third year in a row. Your home was so comfortable and sunny. The boys loved family ski camp while I hiked and read. Love sitting out on the deck.

I rented this cabin for my boyfriend's 63rd birthday and brought other family members along. We loved the many levels for privacy and admired all the artistic features. The kitchen is well equipped, which, as a person who likes to cook, I very much appreciated! It was clean, comfortable and had everything to make our special getaway perfect. We would all go back in a heartbeat.

That was the best family getaway we've had in a very long time. The cabin was absolutely better than we could have imagined. We're thinking of a summer stay with you as well. We will definately make this an annual trip for January because it was a winter wonderland. Thanks again.
