About this property

Hear the River from Cozy Mt Hood Cabin W/ Woodstove & Dogs Ok!

Hear the peaceful Sandy River from this classic knotty pine 1930's mountain cabin with a blue tin roof, located on historic Barlow Trail Rd. This cozy cabin is filled with plants and has vintage & mid century decor. Get cozy by the wood burning stove, original river rock fireplace, and picture windows. Take a soak after a day in the snow in the deeper than average tub in the newly remodeled bathroom.

Enjoy the large kitchen with all new appliances, a tranquil outdoor space with beautiful ferns, cedar trees, sun & shade, a fire pit, and a bbq. Have a meal or enjoy games at the large 6-8 person farmhouse table.

Check out our discounted weekly & monthly rates! This cabin is perfect for a couple, two couples, (3 couples if one sleeps on futon in living room), a friends weekend, or a family. We have 2 bedrooms (1 with Q and 1 with K), a nice Q futon in the living room.

The space is open, yet cozy, charming with a rustic feel, but has modern amenities like dishwasher and newer mattresses. Watch from the large picture windows as the rain or snow falls while you are warmed by the wood stove!

We are set back away from the road amongst lots of trees, but you can hear traffic from Barlow Trail Rd if you are in the front yard or have the front windows open. If you are in the backyard, or only have the river-facing windows open, you mostly hear the river! Our cabin is not on riverfront property, but you can hear the river, as it's just through the trees less than 50 yards away. Our cabin feels secluded, but we do have two somewhat distant neighbors. You can't see them in the spring/summer due to foliage, but in the winter you can see them through the trees.
Under 20 min drive to Govt Camp, 5 min to Welches Thriftway grocery.

HEAT: you can heat the main living area in the cabin without using the wood stove to about 65 degrees, and the bedrooms to 72, by using the electric baseboard heater near the record player, the plug in heater, and the very warm bedroom wall heaters. Some guests found they needed to use the wood stove to be comfortable in the living room area, so please keep this in mind. Although there is electric heat, the wood stove is guaranteed warmth! The wood stove can heat the entire home on it's own if you read the instructions in the cabin and keep it going. In fact, it gets too hot at times! If you plan to use the wood stove and not the electric heaters, we provide wood for you, but please bring your own kindling & newspaper, which can be found at the Brightwood Store near the cabin for $2.99.

We have a high chair and Graco pack n play board books and toys for those with little ones.

Cozy & relaxing

We wanted a quick and quiet escape from work and other stressors, and we gotvit. The cabin is adorable and peaceful, and we were just minutes away from good hiking spots.

Such a cute spot!

We (2 couples) had an amazing stay here! Everything deserves high marks — this sweet little cabin was meticulously clean, tastefully decorated, comfortable, and quite spacious. There is also a very nice outdoor space and a functional, well-stocked kitchen. We all agreed that we’d come back in a heartbeat!

Quick Mom-Son Escape

My two sons and I loved staying here. We made a big dinner together in the wonderfully stocked kitchen, played games at the table, enjoyed a movie in the living room, and loved exploring the yard. Such a comfortable, cozy place!

Cozy cabin in the woods

We were looking for a peaceful spot to relax for a couple of days and this place totally fit the bill. Clean, well-maintained with a well-equipped kitchen and comfy beds with good pillows. The wood stove heats the place like a champ and we were plenty toasty during our chilly, rainy stay. Heaven.

Great location for a weekend getaway

Perfect size cabin for a weekend away with a well stocked kitchen and lots of nearby activities. We went for some hikes and spent the day at Trillium swimming. Super close to the Thriftway and gas station, and the Brightwood market has tons of essentials too. It’s not river front but you can find river access trails just in the next neighborhood. Can’t wait to come back in winter for some snow play!

Great spot!

We loved our time at this cabin. It's cozy and great location for exploring Mt Hood. Another review mentioned the beds and pillows being good compared to many rentals and I agree! We just used one bed, but I was happy with it and slept well! Bathroom is all new, very nice. Excellent communication with the caretaker and owner as well. We will be back.

Awesome weekend

We loved the home and its setting. Could not have been more perfect. Cabin was super clean and comfortable. Spent a great Saturday afternoon after some local morning hikes playing horseshoes and badminton then cooked a nice meal in the great kitchen. If they will have us back we will definitely come back!

Very clean and orderly, cozy

Not by the river. In the woods and a little tough to find so follow the VRBO directions. The hostess has lovely taste and the place is thoughtfully furnished and cute. We appreciated it, but it wasn't as solid, easy to find, or close to the river as I had wished.

If rushing river sounds are your thing

There is not a view of the river but it can be heard loud and clear from back yard and main bedroom. Very pleasant and soothing. Like the ocean only continuous with no gaps between crashing waves. Could have used a more comfortable chair but all in all a very relaxing stay.

Encantadora, pero....

La propiedad es encantadora, tiene todo lo que puedes necesitar para pasar unos días de reposo y tranquilidad. Los espacios utilizables a diario perfectamente limpios, sin embargo, se nota que necesita un poco de cariño. Las telarañas abundan por doquier y hay lugares, como la repisa de la chimenea, que no han sido limpiados en mucho tiempo. El jardín también refleja esa falta de cariño. Si eres amante de los espacios verdes, hay momentos en los que te arremangarías i harías de jardinera.... Pero, repito, el lugar es encantador y cómodo. Muy recomendable.

Well kept cabin in the woods

Great property, kitchen and bathroom obviously redone recently and with great care and thoughtful touches. Despite how hot the day was (in the 90s there, nearly 100 in Portland), the cabin itself was nice and cool. Great internet, and really nice that we could have our dog with us! Thanks!!

About the host

Hosted by Amber

Host profile image
I love traveling and staying in cabins. I also love to camp, hike, and spend time with family and friends. I designed and decorated our cabin to feel cozy, clean, warm, and welcoming.

Why they chose this property

We bought this cabin due to its cozy and charming feel, and it's proximity to the Sandy River. I always sleep so well when I can hear water. We remodeled, adding new hickory floors, but maintained some of the knotty pine walls, and painted others white to brighten the cabin. The cabin has a great balance of feeling warm and cozy, yet not too dark or dreary.

What makes this property unique

Many cabins on Mt Hood are close to highway 26 and the noise of a highway can take away from the setting. We were lucky to find a cabin away from the highway, with neighbors that are not right on top of us. We are a mile or so away from 26. Although you can hear traffic from Barlow Trail Rd when outside or if the front windows are open, the river is what you mostly hear, and Barlow traffic is much less constant than highway 26.
