About this property

Woodlands House / Whole Cabin Near Mt. Hood

Summary:

Set on five private acres of old-growth forest, the Woodlands House is a five-bedroom cabin retreat designed for slowing down and reconnecting with nature. Warm woods, natural textures, and thoughtful details give the home a sense of quiet comfort. Sip coffee above the stream, gather around the wood-burning stove, and end the day soaking in the hot tub beneath towering trees. Though tucked into the forest, the house is about 30 minutes from both Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge.



The Space:

The main level is the heart of the house, where vaulted ceilings and large windows bring the surrounding forest into the living space. A wood-burning stove anchors the room, with a well-equipped kitchen and dining area nearby for slow breakfasts and meals together. This level also has two bedrooms with queen beds and one full bathroom.



Upstairs, you’ll find the primary bedroom with a king bed, another full bathroom, and an open loft. A compact fourth bedroom with a twin bed sits just off the loft and is especially well suited to a child or smaller guest.



This whole-house reservation also includes the lower level, with a fifth bedroom featuring a queen bed, a third full bathroom, a kitchenette, and additional living space.



Two decks extend the living space into the trees. The main deck overlooks a small stream and features a private six-person hot tub, an inviting place to unwind while surrounded by the sights and sounds of the forest. Throughout the home, warm natural materials and thoughtfully chosen details create a comfortable, understated atmosphere that keeps the surrounding landscape at the center of the experience.



Guest Access:

Guests have private access to all three levels of the Woodlands House, including the lower-level bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, and living space, along with both decks and the hot tub. On-site parking is available near the home. You are also welcome to explore the wooded grounds behind the house, including the trails and small stream.



The Woodlands House shares the five-acre property and driveway with the Woodlands Hideout, a separate tiny cabin located approximately 200 feet away. The driveway winds past the Hideout before reaching the Woodlands House, so you may occasionally see guests staying there as you arrive or depart. Beyond the shared drive, the house, decks, and hot tub remain private, tucked quietly among the trees. Please respect the separate cabin, shop, and groundskeeper spaces.



The Neighborhood:

The neighborhood is tree-filled and very rural, so you probably wont see neighbors as every one pretty much keeps to them selves. There is a chance you could hear some neighbor kids playing, or here some farm work happening if the weather is nice, but the trees keep the home very private.



Getting Around:

Getting around is best if you have your own car or rent a car when flying in. While an Uber or Lyft from the airport could work, getting back to the airport via car share will be very difficult if not impossible.



*During the winter months, there is a chance we could have snow. Check in with us before you arrive and we can updated you on driving conditions if that is a concern.



Other Things to Note:

This whole-house reservation includes private use of the main, upper, and lower levels of the home.



Cell service is limited on the property. The Wi-Fi connection is generally stable, but speeds are modest and may not support bandwidth-intensive work or multiple video calls at once. For cozy evenings indoors, the home has satellite television with movie channels and a DVD/Blu-ray player.



Although the property feels secluded, it is surrounded by a rural, working landscape. From time to time, you may hear nearby tractors, livestock, or distant firearm use. A separate shop and groundskeeper space is also located on the acreage and may occasionally be in use.



As with many rural properties, power outages can occur a few times each year. An automatic standby generator keeps essential systems operating, although high-draw amenities such as the hot tub may be temporarily unavailable until utility power is restored.



Pets and smoking are not permitted. Parties, professional or commercial photo/video shoots, weddings, elopements, and events of any size require prior approval. Only the number of guests included in the reservation may be on the property. Please remove shoes inside to protect the soft wood floors and light carpet.



Interaction with Guests:

Check-in is self-service, with detailed arrival instructions provided before your stay. Once you’ve settled in, we’d love a quick message letting us know you arrived safely. We live about 45 minutes away and respect your privacy, but remain available through guest messaging throughout your stay. We’re always happy to answer questions, share favorite local restaurants, hikes, and places to explore.

We enjoyed some much needed family time. Coming home to Oregon is always bittersweet. We love to come home and hate to leave. This beautiful space, gave us what we needed to be n a natural setting, with all of the beautiful sights and sounds. Close to Mt. Hood, so we got some kayaking in. Grateful.
