About this property

AC, Huge Fenced Yard, Last Minute Deals on July-Aug Dates!

If you are looking for a mountain get-away to escape from the crowds after a busy day on the ski slopes or hiking trails, this is the perfect “base camp” for you! The magic of this location is the easy transition from ski cabin to summer hideaway. The oversized, fenced yard is under the forest canopy of towering pines, vine maples and lush ferns, providing cool spots for napping in the hammock, reading in the Adirondack chairs, playing yard games and relaxing around a fire. Leave behind the hustle and heat of the city. Bring food for the grill and a good book to take in the fresh mountain air.

We are located at the gateway to Mount Hood - about an hour's drive from beautiful Portland, Oregon. This area is the perfect start from which to explore the many different areas of Mt. Hood with countless hiking trails, ski areas, and lakes to fish in. This cabin is just 12 miles away from the slopes of Ski Bowl, and 18 miles to Timberline Lodge. Small grocery stores, gas station, local restaurants and bars are all just a short drive away. Come prepared to relax and enjoy the beauty of the great Pacific Northwest.

This 2-story cabin was built in 1930. While we have added modern touches throughout, the interior of the cabin boasts original hardwood floors, kitchen cabinets & counters. It offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, PLUS a detached 3rd bedroom in the backyard steps away from the main cabin. WiFi speed of 349+ mbps also makes this a great place from which to work remotely.

The living area has a cozy gas fireplace for winter snuggling, and small dining area with seating for 6. Relax while reading a book, watching a movie, or playing a board game the whole family will enjoy. Downstairs living/dining area does not have window coverings.

The original 1930 kitchen cabinets and counters are complimented with a modern refrigerator, microwave, stove/oven, and dishwasher. This fully appointed kitchen is equipped to prepare whatever meals you decide to create. There is also a small 2-person breakfast bar in the kitchen.

Bathroom has heated tile floors, one small vintage sink that is original from 1930, and full-size tub/shower combo with a detachable shower head that we find very helpful when bathing the kids. While the bottom pane of the bathroom window is frosted, there is no window covering on the top half of the bathroom window that looks out to the private, forested backyard.

Master Bedroom:
This room occupies the entire attic.
Guests must be able to comfortably climb and descend a flight of stairs to access this bedroom. *This staircase and railing are not safe for young children.*
There is no door that closes this attic bedroom off from the downstairs of the house.
Queen bed with memory foam mattress at one end of the room.
The other end of the room has a small sitting area with a TV and fold out twin-sized mattress.
There is also WiFi throughout the master bedroom.

2nd Bedroom (Kids’ Bedroom):
Downstairs
Twin over twin bunkbed with memory foam mattresses (please no adults on the top bunk)
No TV provided in bedroom. There is WiFi if you would like to watch television on a personal device.

3rd Bedroom (Detached):
This bedroom is located in the backyard, detached from the main cabin. Offers more privacy than the main cabin, but guests must enter the main cabin to utilize the restroom. This bedroom has electricity and heat, but no A/C.
Queen bed with memory foam mattress
There is a TV connected to internet.
Quiet desk space with strong Wi-Fi bandwidth (so kids can play without disturbing your work calls)

If you wish to have a small outdoor fire in the backyard fire pit, there is firewood available to you on site. (During the hottest, driest weeks of the summer there is often a burn ban in effect. During these times you may still use the propane BBQ on the back deck but campfires are prohibited.)
In the summer we also have an outdoor hammock, giant Jenga, and “Corn Hole” set in the backyard.

Fun family time

Our family of four really enjoyed staying here! There were lots of games and puzzles for the kids (ages 3 and 7). They loved the mini foosball! The backyard was quiet and peaceful. Sleeping arrangements started off great (kids in the bunk room) but then the three year old wanted to sleep upstairs… hopefully next year theirs won’t be a problem!

Great nountain cabin experience

House is easy to get to, and perfect for a ski getaway. Close to the skiing. The house has everything that we needed. Be sure to read the welcome documents to understand the heating and house information. The house is small but worked for our family.

Their home Our home.

This cabin is located in a silent mecca. You are located close to winter activities and small charming towns while not far from the city of Portland. It's a location that gives you a home while exploring all these different parts of Portland. The cabin is so clean, charming, cozy and accommodating. It feels like they thought of everything to make this stay lovely and restful.

Cozy getaway

The cabin was ideal for me and my four kids. I'd call the style vintage modern. It really was clean! We loved watching the Olympics and playing board games by the gas fireplace in the living room. The sofa in the living room may have once been a pull-out but is no longer. The studio room in the backyard was a great getaway for my tween girls. Little girl thought the bunk room was fun. Did I mention it was clean? I've stayed in older properties before where I'm nervous to sleep for fear of bugs or whatever, but not here. Great place to stay. At first the TV remotes couldn't adjust volume, but after texting the owners they gave me guidance to troubleshoot and it was an easy fix once I knew what to do. Just before checkout my daughter bonked her head on the porcelain shelf in the bathtub, and the shelf broke. I communicated this with the owners, and they were quick to respond.

Great Getaway Spot

This cabin was able to accommodate my family in a way that made us feel at home for our first time in Oregon. The location is close enough yet far enough to feel like you're in a private retreat. Would definitely be rebooking on my next trip out!

Perfect fall retreat

This cabin was perfect for my hopes: quiet spot to review the year and look ahead, place to cook and rest well, and a base for day hikes in the area of Mt Hood. For half the stay the weather was Indian Summer perfect for dining outside on the deck, and the rainy cold part of the stay the fireplace quickly made the space cozy and comfortable.

Mount Hood Splendor

My wife and I spent 3 days here in late August 2022. the weather was wonderful and the cabins proximity to Timberline Inn and the hiking trails was great. The cabin was furnished nicely and was very clean. We had a problem with how to turn on the shower but after that was solved everything was fine. We would definitely recommend this rental to anyone planning a trip to the Hood Wilderness.

A beautiful Cabin that has everything

We loved our stay at the cabin, it was a truly beautiful place. Mariah and Mark had thought of everything, the little touches made our stay even more special. We will miss the peace and tranquility and the amazing views of Mt Hood driving back to the cabin. The photos don't do justice to the comfort and beauty of the cabin and grounds. We hope to stay again next time we visit Oregon. Thank you Mariah and Mark for being such amazing hosts! 😊

Fantastic experience

We just needed a place close to Mt. Hood so my family from the east coast could experience the mountain, but this cabin turned out to be one of the main highlights of the trip. We loved that there was so much wonderful space outside, especially the kids, 7 and 9. We made a fire, relaxed in the hammock, played games, and discovered the cute little surprises sprinkled throughout the yard. It was absolutely fantastic.

Perfect Little Mountain Cabin

We loved staying at this cabin. Parts of it have been newly remodeled but I love how the owner's left touches of the original cabin in place, such as the counters in the kitchen and the bathroom sink. Loved the heated floors in the bathroom. Huge backyard that our kids loved to play in. And the detached 3rd bedroom was a wonderful quiet getaway. Very clean and well equipped. Would definitely come back again!

Thank you for sharing your cabin with us. Our family of three really enjoyed staying there during our 4-day skiing trip. The kitchen had everything we need to cook dinners.
