Zoe's Log Cabin

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Experience a gorgeous piece of Mt. Hood history at this handcrafted Brightwood cabin, a historical woodland retreat constructed by master carpenter Henry Steiner in 1939. You'll enjoy two private decks, an outdoor firepit, beautiful views of the surrounding forest, and a wondrous location on the shores of the Sandy River!

One of 30 similar homes constructed by the Steiner family, this charming cabin sits among firs, pines, and cedars on the banks of the Sandy River. Each summer, you'll enjoy easy access to fishing and kayaking on the river, hiking trails in the Wildwood Recreation Site, half a mile south, and 27 holes of golf at the Mt. Hood Oregon Resort, two miles southeast. Come winter, you'll have your choice of Mt. Hood ski slopes: 13 miles to Skibowl, 14 miles to Summit, and 20 miles to Timberline. And always come home to a clawfoot tub and lovely details like hand-carved stairs and natural wood railings.

Unexpected Downfalls
I was so excited to take my best friend for a private weekend away in the woods! Cozy by a warm fire and just watch movies. I found out after booking that the fire place in the cabin was unusable, which is fine, they had a propane fire place to heat. When we arrived there was a giant note saying the propane fire place was not working due to a carbon monoxide leak (which was not communicated to me at all ahead of time). The cabin was FREEZING! The old school plug in wall heaters that they did leave, took over 8 hours to finally get the cabin to a decent temperature. We froze the first night and still woke up to a chilly cabin. We couldn’t even use the second bedroom because we had to prioritize which rooms to keep warm. I reached out immediately the first we realized this and it took hours for the team to respond and still never came back with a solution for me - even as I’m writing this as we are preparing to check out. I wanted to love this cabin so much but the dirty mess and cobwebs, the old musty couch, just not ideal with the other issues we ran into. For the money we paid I am very disappointed in this experience and lack of follow through from the rental company in helping find any solutions. Be warned before you rent this place and be sure the heat is working again!! Saddened renter.

nothing updated for decades, cramped, not accommodating
While the location of this cabin was in one of the most beautiful places on earth and the craftsmanship of the builder in 1939 was extraordinary, making it a wonderfully iconic place, the owner has done nothing to update the furniture, appliances, bathroom, rugs, or other fixtures to accommodate travelers staying in the cabin. It's cool to look at, as the photos show, but previous reviews have been too kind. We left after the first night, having booked for 5 nights. VACASA was informed early the morning after we arrived, and after multiple calls and texts, even a visit to their office in Portland, our concerns seem to have been totally dismissed. While their "brand" is impressive, their only responses seem computer driven or scripted assurances that their "team" is reviewing our concerns, without anyone from the team ever responding. I have no confidence in VACASA and would caution anyone booking through them believing they have genuine interest in or will give any attention to their customers.
