About this property
Mt. Hood Retro Modern Cabin- Seasonal Stream, Deck, Fire Pit, & HotTub-Dogs 👍
Our mountain escape is tucked away out of sight and perched in the trees. A seasonal stream meanders through the property. Our outdoor space features a hot tub, bonfire pit (Solo Stove), picnic table, lounge seating, and a charcoal grill. Inside there are 2 bedrooms, a wood-burning stove, a lofted space with a TV, games, puzzles galore, and a cozy sherpa couch. We have a desk for remote work and A+ WIFI. The Sandy River and miles of trails are mere steps from your door. We do have neighbors!
The space
Curly Creek Cabin was built in 1978 and is named for the sweet sounds of our three curly children playing in the creek behind the house. While we have added modern touches throughout, Curly Creek is an absolutely pristine retro masterpiece and we let it's quirky aesthetic details shine in all of their glory! The interior of the cabin boasts amazing custom woodwork, intricate tiling, original hardwood floors, a wood-burning stove, and a mint condition 1970's JENN-AIR oven & cooktop.
One of our favorite aspects of Curly Creek is not only being within 15 minutes of skiing, hiking, mountain biking, and fly fishing, but you could spend an entire weekend just enjoying the home and neighborhood on foot. Our small, quiet community has miles of trails to explore and direct access to the Sandy River with multiple private beach areas. Pack a picnic and spend the day on the beach, without any of the crowds.
COVID-19, Wildfire, weather, and other seasonal restrictions:
National Park trails, ski areas, restaurants, and other businesses or recreational activities may be closed or have limited opening during your visit. Check with the ZigZag Rangers Station and local ski operators websites for the latest information. The HOA swimming pool may also be closed during your visit. During the wildfire season - local laws prohibit the use of fire pits and barbecues - we will keep you informed if these affect you. For local weather, travel, and live webcams checkout MtHood.info. We are nearest to ZigZag and Rhododendron.
FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be snow?
The house sits at about 1600 FT elevation. Typically we see light snow in January and February. Head 10 minutes up the mountain, and there you will find your serious pow! Make sure to pack chains if you plan on driving up that way come winter. We're 15-20 minutes from Government Camp & Timberline.
Is there wood for the bonfire pit and indoor wood stove?
We usually have a pretty good stockpile of wood in and around the house. But, in case it's been depleted, it's a good idea to bring some with you or you can buy it locally roadside or pick some up at Thriftway or any fuel station.
Is there charcoal for the grill?
We have a simple Weber charcoal grill. We don't routinely stock charcoal, but if there is some leftover, it's all yours!
Is there an extra charge for dogs?
Nope. You are welcome to bring along up to 2 of your well-behaved, quiet, friendly, furry sweethearts. Please do not allow them up on the furniture or in the beds. To make sure they are cozy too, we have provided an array of supplies! We have a dedicated dog blanket and dog bed, a few bones, treats, a food and water bowl, and an extra leash just in case! When walking around outside, please always have your dog leashed.
How is the WIFI? Is it enough to Zoom calls, remote learning, and watching Netflix?
The WIFI is A+. Quite frankly, we've been so ready to get out of our home in Portland, that we made sure that it was lightening fast so we could do it all. We have a 500MB upload speed. We regularly use it for remote working, online schooling, movies, and gaming.
Other things to note
This cabin is in a small neighborhood, so we do have neighbors.

Hello!
I am Donna, my husband is Phillip, and we're so happy you have stumbled upon our treasures in the woods - the Curly Creek Cabin (named for the sweet sounds of our three curly haired children playing in the creek) and Inga’s Basecamp (named for our dog, Inga, who thinks she’s queen of the forest). I am from the midwest, Phillip is from Guatemala, and we've lived in Portland for the past 7 years with our three young kiddos and German Shorthair Pointer, Inga. We are a family of nature lovers and spend our time skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and camping. We can't wait to share our little slice of heaven with you and yours.
While we won't be on site during your stay, we have an amazing property manager, Kelsey, who lives nearby and will be available to help with anything you may need.
