The house was so cozy with soft blankets and pillows, great fireplace, and plenty of tools, pots, pans, and more in the kitchen. The gaming area in the garage was perfect for our needs and the coffee, teas, and cocoa were an added luxury. The beds were very comfortable as were the sofas. The house was exactly what we wanted for a relaxing few days.
Christen is a thoughtful host, we had two families stay with four tweens. The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We loved the kitchen and real fireplace. We’d definitely stay again.
We had a lovely time staying at this modern and tidy house. The neighborhood was quiet, the space is super cozy, and there are lots of fun games (cornhole, pacman, board/card games). We had a fire one night. I think my favorite part was how comfortable the beds and bedding were! We would definitely stay again at this home.

The property was stunning! Very comfortable, very modern. It had everything we needed!
This lovely home fit our family of 10 easily. We had ourself a little corn hole tournament, swam at the resort pool over and over,or sat out on the patio constantly. We absolutely loved it.
Property was perfect for our family of 10. The host did a great job of communicating along the way and made everything easy. House was well stocked and the coffee was a bonus!
One of the best VRBOs I’ve stayed at! So many great amenities. The kitchen was really well stocked. Easy to communicate with the host. Would definitely stay here again.
This beautiful home has everything you need and more! From supplies to entertainment, and so many extras. Location is perfect. Looking forward to visiting again.
The home was wonderfully outfitted with all the things you could want for a stay. Loved the extra touches like basket with cozy throw blankets in multiple rooms and the various coffee bar options. The included sauna was a great. Highly recommend this house for families or small groups.

So happy you enjoyed the sauna- it is a special bonus you don't find in all homes! I talk pride in making the space feel welcoming with extra thought put into all areas for my guests. Thank you for recognizing and appreciating those. It is guests like you that make hosting fun! You are welcome back any time.
Of all the vacation rentals we've stayed at we enjoyed this one the most. Beautifully decorated and appointed, it is a lovely cozy home. We are not skiers but still enjoyed the home immensely. Plenty of room for everyone and then some. Nicely organized with clear stay instructions made it that much more enjoyable. Cannot say enough good things about this home and can't wait to come back!
Beautiful property, owner was super friendly and checked in with us throughout the stay. Quick response. House has everything you need and the neighborhood was so adorable! Will definitely be back!

Thanks Tiara! So happy you loved your stay. Come visit again soon.
The house is awesome and has everything you need in the kitchen. The game room was awesome and away from the main bedrooms so the kids could play and make as much noise as they wanted without waking up the rest of the house. Would love to come back in the snow!

Thanks Victoria! Glad you loved your stay and got to enjoy the newly renovated house. I take a lot of pride in making sure it is outfitted nicely for my guests. Thanks for staying- come back soon!
Kitchen had great amount of cooking utensils, pots and pans and place settings for our whole group. Everthing worked well and counter space was exceptional.We enjoyed the sauna after getting in the pool at the hotel. It was a rainy weekend so we.were able to get warmed up. The garage space was nice for games and fun since we couldnt really be outside. The kids liked the space in the garage to play with toys and such. Bathrooms were clean and my mom was happy the tub n the master was so deep!
The Warming Hut was a great fit for 2 families of 4 with kids ranging in age from 7-11! The location is good for getting up to the mountain easily in the morning and having Thriftway (small grocery store) down the road was great for forgotten groceries. We enjoyed having the extra space in the garage as a second living room and having the access to the Mt Hood Resort pool!
The house is adorable! Great location close to gas, food, hiking, Timberline lodge, and ski bowl attractions. We had grandparents, two moms, & two sets of teenagers. Plenty of space to be together or spread out. Garage game room was a hit.

Game room is a hit with the kids and adults alike- a great spot to watch a game or split up a group of teens and adults! Glad you enjoyed it and your stay.
We had a wonderful stay at this home! Everything was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots/pans, spices and much more! The bonus room was a huge hit for the teenagers. It allowed them their own space and felt like a cool hang out area for them away from the adults. All bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets for all. Host was great with communication and even checked in on us mid trip to make sure everything was up to standard. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in this area.
This home was absolutely gorgeous & stocked with everything you’d ever need. Super clean & spacious. We did a girls trip for a long weekend & The house was close to so many fun things to do. We hiked, went to many waterfalls, Timberdome Lodge & did a little wine tour back from Hood River. Would highly recommend. Only things to know if the pool/hot tub wasn't as close as we’d hoped so we didn’t end up using it. shower head in full bath was very low. Otherwise we loved it. Would definitely go back

About the host
Hosted by Christen Kolberg
My husband and two sons and I live in Portland, OR and decided on a second home in Welches, Oregon because we LOVE skiing and being close to all the outdoor fun! We are "hosts" by nature and enjoy inviting friends new and old into our home. So it was only natural that we share our special mountain escape with like minded guests. When remodeling and decorating the house I tried to think of all the ways to make it extra special for all who visit.
Why they chose this property
Located at the base of Mt. Hood, Welches is a small close knit community that is the gateway to every outdoor activity Oregon has to offer. The neighborhood is a quiet family oriented place and it located right on the Foxglove golf course.
What makes this property unique
The Warming Hut is right on the golf course and guest have access to Mt. Hood Resort amenities including the year round heated pool and hot tub! At the house you will be able to enjoy the sauna right outside your bedrooms and relax on the back deck that spans the length of the house overlooking the 6th hole of the golf course. You won't be for lack of fun in the converted bonus room garage with a pool table, 65" Smart TV, and video arcade game. The extra bonus room fridge is perfect for larger groups as well.
