PLEASE READ:
Before booking Barlow Haus, please review our listing, house rules, and policies. Pets, parties, retreats, elopements, and smoking are not allowed. We have a strict maximum of 6 guests (best suited for 4 adults and 2 children due to one of the bedrooms having a shorter ceiling height).

Barlow Haus is a charming, rustic cabin built in 1957, lovingly restored and updated. We fell in love with its location—nestled on two acres, surrounded by 360 degrees of trees. During the rainy months, a stream flows through the property, adding the peaceful sound of running water. The Sandy River is just across the street, and a great public beach access point for both kids and adults is only a few minutes away.

The cabin has been tastefully remodeled and designed with School-House Electric and Rejuvenation finishes. It features high-end SMEG and KitchenAid appliances, as well as a vintage Hartland stove/oven—a charming, cottage-like centerpiece in the kitchen. The living room is surrounded by French window panes, allowing natural light to flood the space.

Barlow Haus is conveniently located within five minutes of various restaurants, grocery stores, cafes, and coffee shops, ensuring you have everything you need during your stay. You'll also be just 15 mins from Mt.Hood skiing and snowboarding areas.

Guest access
All spaces are available for use except the owner's closet. Please be mindful of our neighbors property nearby and pay attention to any 'no trespassing' signs that have been placed on the perimeter of property.

PLEASE READ THROUGH:
- Cell service is challenging on the property so please use GPS before turning off the highway onto Brightwood loop. Once you arrive at the house feel free to connect to WiFi and enable WiFi calling on your phone to make calls and send messages.

- We are on a rural property that uses well water and a septic tank for wastewater. To maintain the system, please follow these guidelines: Only flush toilet paper—nothing else—down the toilet. Dispose of grease in the designated container in the kitchen. To protect the bacteria in the septic tank, we only provide natural cleaning products (no bleach). For this reason, our cleaners handle all laundry offsite, including towels and bedding.

- No Smoking Policy:
This home is strictly non-smoking. Smoking inside the property is prohibited. If evidence of smoking indoors is found, a $500 fine will be charged to cover the costs of cleaning and restoring the home.

- Please note that winter storms and high winds can create power outages at the cabin. Usually, these outages are short, and we have a kit prepared for our guest's comfort in case of such an event. In the event you lose power, we will be notified. If it does not resolve in a timely manner and a storm is approaching we will ask you to leave the home and refund you the nights you were not able to stay. Since our well has an electric pump you will lose access to drinking water on the property without power.

- Our stone fireplace is currently decommissioned and unsafe for use due to expensive repairs (we hope to restore it for guests in the future). In the meantime, we’ve installed central heating and cooling for your comfort. You're welcome to light the candles provided inside the fireplace for ambiance, but you may not use it for fires. We don’t allow candles in the house other than what we provide you in the fireplace. The wood stove is locked and reserved for emergency use during power outages as a backup heat source.

- Since our home was built in 1957, it retains the original charm, but please note that not all aspects are up to modern-day building standards.

- If anyone in your party has a disability or is elderly and prefers to sleep on the same floor as the bathroom, we have a pull-out sofa available for use.

- We do not allow the use of Purple Shampoo for color-treated hair, as it will permanently stain the Carrara marble shower. Please use the septic-safe soaps provided.

- We are located in a national forest and expect guests to follow government regulations such as fire bans. We'll communicate with guests accordingly. We ask that guests not use the wood-burning sauna or outdoor fire pits during burn bans. Please always use both with caution and respect.

- We have a Ring cam installed outside for security.

- We’ve created digital guidebooks to help plan your stay. One guidebook covers local activities (hiking, skiing, swimming, etc.), and the other highlights nearby restaurants—so you don’t have to do the planning yourself!

- The home is a peaceful retreat, not suitable for extra guests (max 6 individuals), parties, photo shoots, or retreats. Please be honest about the number of guests and notify us in advance if you plan to invite others. We are excited to host you!
