Mt Hood’s historic Cedarwood Cabin

Cedarwood Cabin is a magical place to slow down, unwind, unplug, relax. This charming vintage cabin offers an authentic Mt Hood stay for your romantic getaway, creative retreat, and outdoor adventures. Hike nearby trails or hit the ski slopes, then return to Cedarwood to stoke the woodstove and watch the fire, read, write, relax, and savor the simple life. Welcome to Cedarwood Cabin!

For those who seek an authentic cabin experience, Mt Hood’s original Cedarwood Cabin offers the rustic, historic, and simple. Think of it as stepping out of the modern. Hand-built in 1922 and lovingly restored. If you love hand-crafted details, you'll fall in love with Cedarwood.

A beautiful enamel woodstove is the centerpiece--with firewood provided! Practice your pioneer skills, get a fire going and tend it, and savor the reward.

The double bed sleeps two and the futon couch folds down for an additional sleeping spot (about the size of a double bed).

The kitchenette is basic, but has tools to turn your groceries into great meals: a plug-in hot-plate and griddle (no oven). Microwave, coffee grinder, french press, and an assortment of bowls, dishes and utensils are at the ready. Or enjoy the nearby restaurants and brewpubs of Welches.

The bathroom is an arm’s reach from the backdoor. It’s a quick step out, but inside is completely remodeled; you’ll find the subway tile shower, sink, toilet, towel cabinet, and built-in cedar shelves. There’s even a twist-timer wall heater for your convenience during your washroom time.

For travelers accustomed to more modern accommodations, not to worry, you can fall in love here, too. But please know that this cabin, has simple cooking set up, and is by design a rustic and simple structure. (See details in Other Things to Note)

You won't find a TV, but you'll find fun books on hiking, wildflowers, and Mount Hood history. You'll find a cozy couch with soft blankets and hand-made pillows to read, to nap, to cuddle. Fall asleep to the gentle patter of rain.

The entire cabin and property is available to guests, including the outdoor river-rock firepit (excluding burn-ban season)

Available by email or phone for important communication or emergencies.

The cabin is on a loop gravel road of other cabins and homes. So there is no through traffic. You can see other homes from the cabin. You may see neighbors walking their dogs. It’s a quiet, safe neighborhood, where folks keep an eye out for each other but also respect privacy.

Conveniently located just off of Mt Hood's main route, HWY 26. Cedarwood Cabin is less than 5 miles to Welches, 5-10 miles from some of the best trailheads, and 15-30 miles to the ski areas. Easy access to grocery store, brewpubs, coffee shop, gas station.

Although the cabin may get a dusting of snow in winter, it's low enough elevation to be accessible year-round. You won't need 4-wheel drive or a special vehicle. Parking is free.

RUSTIC BY DESIGN
Please know that this is a true cabin experience. It is not a modern house with some decorating touches to evoke the "style" of a mountain cabin—it is an ACTUAL CABIN. Think of it more like “glamping.” The bathroom is a step outside (though covered). For some, this may be their first experience with rustic and feel like they are truly "roughing it." For those who love to stay in places like yurts, lookout towers, wall tents, tiny houses, and tree houses, you’ll love adding Cedarwood Cabin to your list!

PRIVACY
Located in a small loop road with about a dozen or so other cabins and homes, you can see neighbors from the property. (So while it is indeed a getaway from the city, please do not expect to be deep in the wilderness.) However, from the inside, you’ll feel transported. The views from the windows are filled with trees, and the Pendleton wool curtains can be drawn to make your cabin experience all you own.

This is a classic 1-room cabin. The floor plan is open. Dividing the space between bedroom, kitchen, and living room is a plank wall, and curtain. Ideal for couples. But please note the minimal privacy for more than a solo traveler or couple.
