Our property backs up to a natural forest, providing a tranquil backdrop for your stay. If you're brave enough, a creek just beyond the backyard sets the stage for your cold plunging adventures (when outside, guests should expect to hear the water flowing)
Our cabin offers versatile sleeping arrangements to accommodate your group comfortably. You'll find two cozy bedrooms on the main floor, each with their very own queen sized beds. Upstairs, the spacious loft features two twin sized beds along with a full sized bed.
The recently renovated kitchen boasts state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, including a convenient dishwasher. We've done our best to stock the place with supplies and amenities for your stay, including a coffee maker, hand mixer, toaster, microwave, hot water kettle, baking sheet, pots, pans, mixing bowls, electronic hand mixer, a wide variety of utensils, cutting boards, food storage containers, etc. We also stock things like dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, cleaning supplies and more!
Surrounded by a canopy of trees, a brand-new 7-person, 65-jet hot tub awaits just steps off the deck. Take in the crisp mountain air, relax and enjoy the soothing sounds of the nearby creek. For everyone’s safety, please ensure a responsible adult is present at all times. Please keep hot tub covered when not in use

The cabin is well situated in the woods for privacy, while still being close to amenities and Timberline. We found it to be warm and welcoming for our girls trip, with great cozy vibes!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was very well kept with all the things we needed. Property manager was very easy to communicate with and the location was perfect for running into Welches to go to the store or up to the mountain to ski. Our family had a great time and we will definitely be back!
We stayed at the cabin as part of our winter vacation - it was great! Easy access to Zig Zag and Govy! We also enjoyed the hot tub and updated kitchen & bathroom!
The property was more than I expected. Backed to an amazing forest setting with a great hot tub. Thank you for providing all that was needed for a wonderful comfortable stay.Thanks again!
Our family stayed here for 10 days while our kids had ski camp at Mt Hood. Short and easy drive to the ski hill and to Welches for groceries. The hosts were super communicative and responsive. The home was super clean and comfortable and the property setting was magical.
Great house, beautiful place. Perfect amenities.I learned to read the fine print on VRBO listings. This is not waterfront. There are multiple NO TRESSPASSING signs everywhere on the way to the water which were slightly off putting. My rule following son was terrified we were on someone else's property. There are 4 outdoor cameras FACING the house from every angle. I understand to keep an eye on your property but one of which faces an entire wall of windows. I am 100% sure I walked past it half naked at least once before I recognized it there. The cameras might as well have been inside the home. Every square inch of that house is being watched. I felt like my peaceful retreat in the woods was being watched very closely, and it creeped me out a bit to be honest.
When I first got here, it was one of those days that was really bad, and I was in a terrible mood. After a little bit of time, and walking down to the creek… bad mood gone! We really enjoyed the hot tub, and the outdoor location! Cute little fairy doors in the neighborhood! Great creek access too! Very nice path down. I showed up early too, and Briar communicated with me immediately and accommodated me.

Snowy Weekend/Good for Hood
We arrived with about 4 inches snow all around the property. No snow shovel provided, we had to ask and it came the next day. The steps needed shoveled all around the 3 entrances.The upstairs with 3 beds, is an old attic. It was too cold for the kids. We didnt want to ask for a space heater since asking for more towels was initially met with telling us to refresh them ourselves. The owner thought 1 towel per person per stay was sufficient. We showered after the hot tub, in the morning or after Mt Hood activities.. I did get more towels the next day. Guests should NOT have to do towel laundry.Check in was delayed, We arrived 15 minutes early and our code wasn't working. Once I got connected to wifi and sent a message on VRBO it was just after 4pm. The code finally worked, but the owner made it sound like it was our fault since he set it up to work at 3:40...ummm no.There are no mirrors other than the one in the bathroom so good luck getting ready for the day with everyone.My children didn't want to sleep in the cold attic space with super low ceilings off the mud room up some old wooden stairs. I even thought it was spooky.The hot tub wasn't very conveniently placed on the property up a hill.I actually would not recommend this place unless it was a last resort and you were snowed in on 26. The owner made communication awkward to the point i didnt want to communicate anymore after the towel thing. He will probably respond to my rating with something to make me sound bad.
