About this property

Moondance Cabin - Secluded Creekside Log Cabin, Fireplace, Hot Tub

Moondance Cabin - Meredith Lodging

Refresh in the secluded, creekside setting of the Moondance Cabin, a Panabode Log Cabin with classic mountain charm and character. The warm and cozy wood log interior and the fireplace will be the perfect place to kick back and make the most of your Mt Hood vacation. Prepare a tasty dinner in the fully-equipped kitchen or grill on the gas BBQ on the creekside deck.

You will want to relax on the private back deck accompanied only by the sounds of the flowing waters of Clear Creek and the light of the moon and stars. Soak in the new 6-person hot tub after a day of hiking, biking or playing in the snow at Mt Hood. Enjoy the view of the woods and the creek from the windows that surround you in the living room or cozy up in front of the wood-burning fireplace.

You will be just minutes for dozens of miles of trails in the Mt Hood National Forest in one direction. Or head the other direction to restaurants, stores and attractions making this location ideal for your vacation basecamp.

The Moondance Cabin is popular for romantic retreats including proposals, honeymoons and anniversaries; however the cabin is also suitable for two couples or a small family. Two bedrooms, each with a queen bed and two full bathrooms plus the living room sofa bed accommodate up to 6 guests comfortably.

We love coming to Moondance Cabin to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the sounds of the creek and seeing the blue Jay's and chipmunks. It's also fun to try to find the gnomes but they seem to be diminishing, please don't take them home with you!

We come here every month to escape the city and enjoy the natural surroundings. Clear Creek is a hop and a skip behind the cabin and running low this time of year. We were amused by the antics of the young jays and chipmunks who came out for treats, as well as nightly bats swooping to catch moths on the fly! We love this place!

We love staying at Moondance Cabin, the creek behind the house, the tall trees and all the wildlife. The cabin is always spotlessly clean, the beds are comfortable, the modern appliances make meals a snap though we also usually get takeout from the Zig Zag Inn as well and sitting onvthe deck is very relaxing@ However, if you visit please don't steal the gnomes, they have been disappearing over the last few months.We live in Portland and it's a wonderful respite from the hubbub of the city, we try to come every month and are looking forward to our stay next month!
