Our mountain escape is tucked away out of sight and perched in the trees. A seasonal stream meanders through the property. Our outdoor space features a hot tub, bonfire pit (Solo Stove), picnic table, lounge seating, and a charcoal grill. Inside there are 2 bedrooms, a wood-burning stove, a lofted space with a TV, games, puzzles galore, and a cozy sherpa couch. We have a desk for remote work and A+ WIFI. The Sandy River and miles of trails are mere steps from your door. We do have neighbors!
The space
Curly Creek Cabin was built in 1978 and is named for the sweet sounds of our three curly children playing in the creek behind the house. While we have added modern touches throughout, Curly Creek is an absolutely pristine retro masterpiece and we let it's quirky aesthetic details shine in all of their glory! The interior of the cabin boasts amazing custom woodwork, intricate tiling, original hardwood floors, a wood-burning stove, and a mint condition 1970's JENN-AIR oven & cooktop.

One of our favorite aspects of Curly Creek is not only being within 15 minutes of skiing, hiking, mountain biking, and fly fishing, but you could spend an entire weekend just enjoying the home and neighborhood on foot. Our small, quiet community has miles of trails to explore and direct access to the Sandy River with multiple private beach areas. Pack a picnic and spend the day on the beach, without any of the crowds.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

Will there be snow?

The house sits at about 1600 FT elevation. Typically we see light snow in January and February. Head 10 minutes up the mountain, and there you will find your serious pow! Make sure to pack chains if you plan on driving up that way come winter. We're 15-20 minutes from Government Camp & Timberline.

Is there wood for the bonfire pit and indoor wood stove?

We usually have a pretty good stockpile of wood in and around the house. But, in case it's been depleted, it's a good idea to bring some with you or you can buy it locally roadside or pick some up at Thriftway or any fuel station.

Is there charcoal for the grill?

We have a simple Weber charcoal grill. We don't routinely stock charcoal, but if there is some leftover, it's all yours!

Is there an extra charge for dogs?

Nope. You are welcome to bring along up to 2 of your well-behaved, quiet, friendly, furry sweethearts. Please do not allow them up on the furniture or in the beds. To make sure they are cozy too, we have provided an array of supplies! We have a dedicated dog blanket and dog bed, a few bones, treats, a food and water bowl, and an extra leash just in case! When walking around outside, please always have your dog leashed.

How is the WIFI? Is it enough to Zoom calls, remote learning, and watching Netflix?

The WIFI is A+. Quite frankly, we've been so ready to get out of our home in Portland, that we made sure that it was lightening fast so we could do it all. We have a 500MB upload speed. We regularly use it for remote working, online schooling, movies, and gaming.
