Nestleld in the Forest, River View in Mount Hood

This is a family cabin in the lush greenery of the Mt Hood National Forest.  It is a quiet, peacful retreat, with an open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and bamboo floors.  There is a large back deck overlooking Still Creek, which is actually a white water river teeming with salmon.  There are four levels to the chalet-style cabin, a great room/kitchen/full bath level; a basement with washer/dryer and a bonus bedroom; a king-sized bed loft with half bath; and finally up the spiral staircase is the kids' loft with two twin beds.  This is a place to get away from the city and all its sounds--no cell service, no tv (we have a dvd player for movies) and no land line.  You are truly out in the forest, enjoying nature, and you are only 45 minutes from Portland, Oregon.

There is a full kitchen for your use including a coffee bean grinder, coffee maker, and toaster oven (in addition to a fridge, stove/oven, and sink.  All the pots and pans are there, with plates etc for up to eight people.  The large table seats up to eight if some of them are kids and sit on the bench seat.

There is a bathtub/shower on the first floor and a half bath next to the king-sized log bed on the lower loft level.

There is a wood burning stove and a full cord of wood in the wood shed.  Many cozy nights can be spent reading by the fire.

Mt Hood National Forest is excellent for hiking, mountain biking, and horse-back riding.  There are trails right out the front door, like Flag Mountain Trail, with its steep ascent to a faboulous look-out.

Mt. Hood Ski Bowl, about 10 miles up hightway 26 offers adventures inlcuding alpine slide, taking the chair lift up with a mountain bike and doing ultimate downhill descents without the work of getting uphill, and vistas galore.

Timberline Lodge is a historical place of interest well worth the visit.  The food is excellent, prepared by chef Leif Erickson.  Threre is a good video to watch showing how the lodge was built during the Great Depression.

Week nights are only $99, Fridays and Saturdays are $139 and holidays are $150; we rent it usually in the summer and fall months.  Most ski weekends we are there with the exception of one weekend per month, just call us.
