in Oregon, built the cabin in 1930. Located under old an growth canopy,
next to Zig Zag River and Still Creek, in Rhododendron on 1/4 acres of
private land, at the 1,500-foot elevation. We now have wifi. This is a non-smoking

Excellent weekend at an excellent cabin!
We had a quick weekend getaway at Laughing Bear and had a great time. It was exactly what us friends needed. The cabin was full of charm and had everything we needed except an aux cord to listen to music on the stereo. Brad was easy to communicate with and everything was great!

A True Steiner Cabin
If you want to stay in a real and unique Steiner Cabin then this is your place. If you don't want to try and figure out how to open every single door in the place, have the owner make you sign your life away, be surrounded by clutter and have to take a shower before you walk outside in the cold to the hot tub, then it might not be your place.

Cute Christmas Cabin
Loved the stay here! It was exactly as described. Decorated for Christmas and everything! Hot tub was great AND hot chocolate by the fire. Super cozy and close to so many winter activities! Wish check in had been a little earlier, it was a little difficult in the dark but overall an excellent experience!

About the host

Hosted by Brad W. Stockli

Host profile image
We love a great view, and the adventures getting there. We lived in Portland from '88 to 2000, met, bought our 1st house, after buying into a vacation ownership program 1st, then bought 3 properties, on Mt. Hood, and one on the coast, in Depoe Bay, Called Suite Williams, overlooking Pirate Cove.

Why they chose this property

We drove thru the Mt. Hood area, on our 1st wedding anniversary, after purchasing our home, in Portland, and on our way to work a season in Yellowstone National Park, serving, and bartending, back then. We stumbled upon the Zigzag Inn, and had lunch there. It's a log structure built by William Lenz. We admired the structure, and it's historical flair. It reminded us of our whim to one day own a log cabin, in the woods, as we stayed in Yellowstone, we planned on looking for property, in-between there, and home, and low and behold, the best options laid instore for us. As we lined up work at Timberline Lodge, before departing, we looked at properties on Mt. Hood, soon after our arrival to work. We drove neighborhoods, concentrated on preparations, and found this little gem, built by Henry Steiner, and family, prolific log home builders in the 20's, and 30's in the area, and the same folks that built Timberline Lodge!

What makes this property unique

Natural Beauty, Scenery, outdoor adventure, room for the whole family, warmth, comfort, history, water access, minutes away from every type of alpine adventure.
