Great getaway

Our time here was delightful. Skiing is close, hot tub and pool were great ways to end the day and the home was clean and spacious. The garage was perfect for our gear after a day on the slopes. We hope to return as the distance to the airport makes this a perfect get away!

Comfortable, cozy condo

We've stayed in Collins Lake before but this was our first time in this unit. Great location by the pool, great shortcut to the large hot tub in the trees. Another bonus was we were plowed first in the morning before the side street units. Since there was 8 inches of fresh snow and we drive a minivan this made getting out and to the slopes much easier. Plus the mountain made by the snow plow was a very convenient sledding hill! The kids loved the triple bunk bed and the large selection of games. The master mattress was very comfortable and the towels very plush. The only negatives were the saute pans provided were rather beat up teflon. Not unusual for rental properties but I'd love to see a stainless steel pan. And a coffee grinder would have been awesome. Other than that it was a great trip and we would love to book your unit again!

Perfect Mountain Summer Get Away

Hiked, biked, explored historical points of interest, shopped and ate our way around the Mount Hood and Hood River areas. This was the perfect base from which to launch our daily adventures and return home to a comfy and super clean spot, pool and hot tub were great, as was the easy walk to restaurants and ice cream and more. Can’t wait to return next year!

A wonderful place close to Mt. Hood

The kitchen is well stocked. We cooked our breakfast and dinner without buying any seasonings. The space is so big for our party (3 adults 2 teens). Everyone had a good rest after skiing at Mt. Hood.

Perfect Mt Hood Family Rental

WOW. Gorgeous townhouse right in the heart of Government Camp, Oregon! The checkin process was seamless, the home was spotless and stocked with all the comforts of home. There’s plenty of room for families to spread out, our kids LOVED their bunk room, and the ping pong table was perfect for evening tourneys. there were dozens of board games as well, perfect for entertaining the kids when we weren’t on the slopes. If that wasn't enough, the community pool and hot tubs were another highlight and even open for use during the snowstorm! As far as the location, if you’re doing anything on Mt Hood, whether in Govy, Timberline, Meadows or anywhere between, this cabin is perfectly located. We can’t wait to return!! Great location, gorgeous and clean unit, fantastic hosts—what more could you need?
