About this property
Mt. Hood Hideaway: Hiking, harmony, hot tub, and access to the hill!
Welcome to the Mt. Hood Hideaway! A quiet, cozy retreat among the trees, right near the beautiful Salmon River.
The cabin (3 bedrooms w/ 5 beds, and 2 bathrooms) is great for family and friends, as well as for a romantic get-away or solo adventure. It has a well-equipped kitchen and outdoor grill for preparing meals. A beautiful propane-fueled cast iron stove in the living room provides inside ambiance at the touch of a button, while big windows, skylights, multiple outside decks, and a hot tub provide lots of ways to enjoy the sounds and fresh air of the forest just outside, as well.
Accessibility: 2 bedrooms and one full bath upstairs, and 1 bedroom and full bath downstairs. There are 2 steps to enter the house, and it is located at the end of a (very bumpy! please drive carefully/slowly!) dead end dirt road. You can hear, but not see, the nearby Salmon River, which is walking distance away. The nearest trailhead into the Mt Hood National Forest is a mere 15 minutes (on foot) away, with many, many others a short drive away. The cabin is also conveniently located within reach of a full grocery store (less than 5 min drive), library, bakery, gas station, and a bunch of wonderful local restaurants within a 10 min drive (BBQ, Japanese, pizza).
Activities: Within a 15 miles, you can ski, paddle, fish, mountain bike, or snowshoe on countless trails, rivers, and streams. Enjoy starry nights from the hot tub or wildlife viewing in the early morning through the many big windows or from one of the multiple decks. We also have musical instruments (piano, guitar, banjos and shakers), plus many games and puzzles for indoor fun.
Please note: This is NOT a party house-- it is a place for a peaceful getaway or get-together. We love and respect our neighbors, and ask all guests to observe quiet hours outside on the decks from 10 pm until 6 am during their stay. Also, there is NO garbage service at the cabin, so all garbage and recycling must be packed out (or can be taken care of for an extra fee). Please plan ahead for this, as it is a wildlife corridor and leaving garbage outside the house is not an option. Lastly, we ask that folks not wear shoes in the house to keep our cleaning fee as low as possible, thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Sarah Schaack
My family and I love to hike, ski, and make music, and Mt Hood is our favorite place to do all of this! We also love green spaces, bird calls, and butterflies, and the Hideaway, as we like to call it, provides us with a truly lovely opportunity to enjoy the forest and river. We are also music lovers (so there are musical instruments if you, too, like to pick up a guitar or banjo), puzzlers (same-- we have about a dozen at the house from kid-friendly to multi-day affairs), and we like to cook (enjoy communal meals around the dining room table, inside or out!)
Why they chose this property
For us, this house has some special qualities. Having the seasonal creek run right by the house connects it to the mighty Salmon River, which is within ear shot and walking distance. As parents of a young child, we really love that the house feels far from the city, but isn't far from a grocery store! We love the quiet, of course, but we also love the way the sun rises in the valley and how bright the stars are at night. And finally-- we love sharing the house with others! It might sound cheesy, but sharing the beauty of Mt Hood just multiplies our enjoyment, we hope you get that sense if you come stay!
What makes this property unique
The proximity to the national forest and ski slopes is key, of course, but we also appreciate that it is on a deadend "street" (beware when driving-- the road is dirt, and very bumpy, especially after rain), so the house is very quiet with no traffic noise (the upstream neighbors do have chickens, so you might hear them, but there is no rooster, thankfully!) We love that we can walk to the National Forest whenever we want (closest trailhead is the Bonanza Trail, about a15 min walk from the front door!) and over to the Salmon River (about 8 min to the nearest bridge overlook, on foot) to see the river each evening either before or after dinner.
