Little Chestnut Cabin – A Cozy Mt. Hood Getaway

Tucked away in the private, wooded Mt. Hood Wilderness, Little Chestnut Cabin is a charming and serene retreat surrounded by towering trees and fresh mountain air. This fully fenced, pet-friendly cabin offers the perfect blend of comfort and nature for a truly relaxing escape.

Inside, you’ll find a warm and open-concept layout featuring a wood-burning fireplace, a well-appointed kitchen, and two cozy bedrooms with one full bath—everything you need for a peaceful mountain stay. Unwind with a movie or your favorite show on the built-in projector after a day of exploring.

Step outside and relax on one of the multiple decks with both covered and open seating areas, or gather around one of the firepits under the stars. A private detached workspace provides a quiet spot for reading, writing, or remote work amid the forest backdrop. Unwind after a day's outing in the comfort of a private sauna!

Whether you’re looking to disconnect, hike Mt. Hood’s trails, or simply enjoy a cozy, pet-friendly escape, Little Chestnut Cabin invites you to slow down and savor the simple beauty of the mountains.

Beautiful and relaxing location. Stayed with a friend and their 2 small children. We went on hikes, roasted marshmallows in the yard, and her and I enjoyed the sauna at night. Complete package and would stay again! FYI-the yard is completely fenced (4-ft in most areas) but has chain links with neighboring dogs. So maybe not best for reactive dogs but relaxing property otherwise.

Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad you found the location beautiful and relaxing and that you enjoyed the hikes, roasting marshmallows, and the sauna. Thanks for the helpful note about the fenced yard and neighboring dogs — that will be useful for future guests with reactive pets. We appreciate you choosing Meredith Lodging and hope to host you again.

This is a nice cabin in a great location for hiking in the area. The large fenced yard was definitely a huge plus for our 2 dogs. A few things could use more instructions on how to operate (thermostat, projector TV, sauna). I have to dock a star because although the place advertises a sauna, it was filthy and mice had been living in it. I cleaned it myself, but couldn't convince myself to use it. Otherwise very comfortable and clean.

Thank you for highlighting the cabin’s setting, fenced yard, and comfort, especially for traveling with your dogs. I’m sorry the sauna was not clean and that you found signs of mice; we will have the maintenance team inspect for mice right away and will have the housekeeping team deep clean the sauna. We’ll also ask maintenance to write up clear operating instructions for the thermostat, projector, and sauna. Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback!
