Heart of village! Knotty pine alpine cabin.
The Trails Out Lodge is located in the heart of the alpine village at the base of the Glade Trail (hence the name). It was constructed in 1936 for the Fred Van Dyke family, one of the first operators of Timberline Lodge. The cabin features a knotty pine interior and a majestic stone fireplace reminiscent of the stonework at Timberline Lodge.
The main level contains the living room / dining area, kitchen, utility room, a bedroom, a half-bathroom, and the main entry foyer. The upstairs contains two more bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. Each upstairs bedroom has air-conditioning during the summer for better warm weather sleeping. There have been multiple improvements throughout the years to make the cabin more comfortable, convenient, and safe without sacrificing the work done by the skilled craftsman of the 1930's.
The roads to the cabin and parking at the cabin are plowed during winter. There is parking for three cars on site with nearby public parking available for additional vehicles.
The cabin has plenty of yard area for children to play and just up the road at the dead end is a great winter play area with a hill ideal for inner-tubing. Access to the trails along the north side of Government Camp are accessed through this area and lead to a large network of hiking/cross country skiing/snowshoeing trails. Trails to south side of the village can be access by walking over the Multorpor bridge. These trails give easy access all the way to Trillium Lake and beyond.
Village shops and restaurants are only a two-minute walk away, ideal for be able to leave the car at the cabin when doing culinary and retail exploring.
The cabin is stocked with board games and videos. The Govy General Store (200' away) rents DVD's and sells items to make your trip even more enjoyable.
While at the cabin don't forget to check out the Mt. Hood Museum and Cultural Center.
This cabin is vintage 1936 (Timberline Lodge era), this means it’s full of quirks and character and that’s why we adore it so much. If you are more comfortable in a sleek modern cabin, we gently suggest this cabin might not be the best fit for your getaway. In addition, we do not recommend this property to elderly people or people with mobility issues as the stairs up to the second floor are steep.
The stairs to the second level are steep, narrow, and partially open on one side. To prevent an accident young children need to be supervised by their parents when using the stairs.
IMPORTANT - Shortly after booking our cabin we will request payment for County Room Tax which VRBO is currently unable to capture at booking. These taxes are 6.85% of the amount you pay to VRBO. This situation is unwelcome for everyone, so we hope VRBO will update their software soon! All owners using VRBO for lodging on Mt. Hood are in the same situation. They used to collect this tax but tell us now their software is unable to do it. VRBO has told me they are working on a solution.

We loved our stay! The house is charming, cozy and ideally located for walking around the village. Our group of 7 friends will definitely be back. Thank you!
Had a great week long stay with our two children for a week of skiing. Plenty of (clean) space for all of your gear and comfortable sleeping arrangements. Loved the location in Govy and the clear view of Mt. Hood just steps out your door. Cozy wood stove and leather furniture. Cabin was charming and we would definitely stay again!
This cabin was everything we could have wanted. The owner, Blane, was amazing to work with. He was very responsive and proactive with our needs. A winter storm came during our stay which made things difficult to navigate. Blane was so helpful and made us very comfortable. The cabin is perfectly situated in Government Camp. Close to the store and Huckleberry Inn. The cabin is easy to get to and well plowed. We can't wait to stay here again.
The place was absolutely perfect for our group. It was not only quaint, but had plenty of space and a nice big table for playing games. Blaine was wonderful. We’ve rented through him before and hope to come back again someday.
We stayed here for a quick ski trip at Timberline, and we were pleasantly surprised by the house. The photos in the listing are great, but the house is even better in person. The beds are reasonably comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare east family meals. Importantly, the location in Government Camp is hard to beat—an easy walk to restaurants and the general store, as well as to trails (and a fun area to play in the snow). Also, the host is kind and easy to work with!
Very cozy, comfortable cabin within walking distance to Government Camp village. Great wood burning stove/fireplace and well appointed kitchen. Perfect home base for skiing and snowshoeing. Excellent communication with Blane. We had a wonderful long weekend! Thank you!
We were happy to hear that this cozy get away for our last minute Labor day weekend was available! Walking distance to everything, very enjoyable and perfect!
The house is small but comfortable. Lots of beds, but some are in weird little nooks. The location was perfect for a summer visit, we were able to park the car for 4 days and just walk everywhere.
I am not normally one for leaving reviews. But, this cabin was beyond perfect for my tiny family. It was clean, cozy, and comfortable. We felt right at home from the minute we walked in the door. And the location makes the cabin that much more wonderful. Our long weekend at Government Camp was nothing shy of perfect! Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!
Cute cabin close to Main Street. Clean, lots of gamesand puzzles and kitchen had all we needed to make our meals. Blane was quick to respond to any text and Meadows was 15 minutes away. Great place to stay!!
This is a super cute cabin with well stocked kitchen and cozy wood burning stove. The location is unbeatable. Just a few mins to timberline. You can see the govy general store from the parking space- it’s that close. We also enjoyed the easy walk to get dinner in government camp.
The host was super easy to communicate with. Easy to get into the lockbox. We will definitely stay here for our next ski trip.
Super location and very comfortable. We had 6 adults and 2 kids with lots of space. At the end of the street there are tubing and sledding hills that are free. We will be back for sure!!
