About this property

Authentic Vintage Cabin • Woodstove • Romantic Getaway for Two

If you’re searching for an authentic cabin—one with history, charm, and handmade details—Cedarwood Cabin awaits. Hand-built in 1922 and lovingly restored, this is real Mount Hood heritage, ready to transport you back in time for quiet evenings of connection.

At the heart of the cabin is a beautiful enamel woodstove. Light a fire, settle into the cozy couch, and let the evening unfold with books, board games, vintage records, warm blankets, and the soft glow of vintage lighting.

Sleeping & Layout

Cedarwood is a classic one-room cabin, ideal for couples. The double bed sleeps two, and the futon couch folds down for an additional sleeping spot.
(Please note: the open floor plan offers minimal privacy.)

Kitchenette

The kitchen is simple but well-equipped with essentials: a plug-in hot plate, griddle, microwave, coffee grinder, French press, and a full assortment of dishes, utensils, and cookware. There is no oven. Prefer a night out? Restaurants and brewpubs in Welches are just minutes away.

Bathroom

The bathroom is only a step outside the back door (with covered entry). Inside, it’s fully remodeled with a subway-tile shower, sink, toilet, cedar shelves, and a twist-timer heater for comfort during chilly mornings or evenings.

For Guests Accustomed to Modern Homes

You can absolutely fall in love with Cedarwood’s charm—but please know this is a true cabin, rustic and simple by design. You won’t find a TV or modern luxury finishes. You will find history, character, and handmade, old-world craftsmanship.

What You’ll Love

• No TV—just books on hiking, wildflowers, and Mount Hood history
• Soft blankets, handmade pillows, and a snug couch for reading or cuddling
• The peaceful patter of rain on the roof

The Setting

Cedarwood sits on a small loop road of cabins and homes—quiet, safe, and neighborly. You may see someone walking a dog, but privacy is well respected. From inside, your view is filled entirely with trees.

Conveniently located just off Highway 26:
• <5 miles to Welches
• 5–10 miles to popular trailheads
• 15–30 miles to ski areas
• Easy year-round access; no 4WD required

RUSTIC BY DESIGN

This is not a modern home styled to look like a cabin—it is an authentic cabin. Think glamping meets history: cozy, quirky, and full of character. If you enjoy yurts, lookout towers, tiny houses, or treehouses, Cedarwood will feel like magic.

Incredible getaway, the cabin was gorgeous. We couldn't use the fireplace since there was a burn ban in effect but it was still incredibly cozy. Everything about our stay was smooth, lots of great info provided by the host. Located near some beautiful hiking trails and close enough to visit Portland too.

My 12-year-old daughter and I had the best mommy-daughter trip at Cedarwood Cabin! It was cozy, peaceful, and had everything we needed. We loved playing games, listening to records, and learning about the cabin’s history. The perfect place to disconnect and make special memories together!

Peaceful cabin

Ian’s cabin was an excellent place to stay near Mount Hood! The cabin was a perfect and peaceful place with everything we needed. Ian also had several recommendations for hikes and restaurants in his guest book that were perfect to go check out. Highly recommend but will note for those that may not notice in the listing there is no WiFi and very little to no cell signal.

Mount Hood Summit Climb

Cute cabin

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would visit again. I loved reading about the history of the cabin.We did wish that the linens were stocked for our visit. We said four people were coming, but there was a top sheet but no bottom sheet for the futon. Also, there was one washcloth in the bathroom for all four of us! Another kitchen towel or two for our three night stay would have been nice, too.

We were excited for our stay at this property; however, shortly after our arrival we found a mouse. We contact VRBO and the owner. The owner denied our claim “as it had never happened before” and refused to refund us although we had to find alternative lodging (Marriott hotel in South Portland). Overall it was a bad experience.

About the host

Hosted by Ian McCluskey

Host profile image
Hello,
My name is Ian, and I am honored to share Cedarwood cabin with you. I am a 7th generation Oregonian. My ancestors came over the Oregon Trail, which passes very close to Cedarwood Cabin. I grew up hiking, skiing, and camping on Mt Hood. In high school, I volunteered with the Mt Hood National Forest, and lived in a cabin built by the CCC during the Great Depression and gave tours of Timberline Lodge. That experience created the dream to one day restore a historic Mt Hood cabin. 30 years later, I finally realized that dream.

Why they chose this property

The first time I saw Cedarwood it captured my heart. It was weathered grey. A simple cabin, much like the ones I slept in at summer camp on the Oregon Coast. It wasn't for sale when I first saw it, but I kept it in my mind. After a year of looking for the perfect cabin, it happened to come up for sale. I immediate made an offer and wrote a heartfelt letter. Luckily, it reached the grandson of the original builder, who loved the cabin dearly. He recognized that I was the perfect person to be the next steward of Cedarwood.

What makes this property unique

Stepping into Cedarwood makes me immediately take a deep breath. It has that smell of wood and woodsmoke and home-cooked meals, mixed with the scent of the forest--trees and moss and ferns. They say a violin's sound improves the more it is played. A violin is essentially a finely-crafted wooden box; Cedarwood is essentially the same thing, of a larger scale. All the laughter, stories, and conversations around the fire have made it sweeter.
