About this property

Downtown Govy Getaway! Walk to Ski Bus, Dining & Trails

Experience the best of Government Camp with this centrally located mountain retreat! Just steps from the village, this cozy cabin features two master bedrooms and a loft, comfortably sleeping 8—perfect for families and adventure seekers year-round.

Walk one block to restaurants, shops, and the ski bus, or take advantage of on-site parking for up to 4 cars, with plowed winter access right to the front door. Additional public parking is just a block away, and we're happy to provide information on Mt. Hood National Forest passes.

Adventure is right outside your door! Just up the hill, access the Glade Trailhead, leading to an extensive network of hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing trails. Head downhill over the Multorpor Bridge for easy access to tubing, alpine sledding, Skibowl, and more trails.

This cabin is a true escape from the city, full of mountain charm and cozy quirks. While you won't find a TV in every room, the cabin is stocked with board games, sleds, and a smart TV for movie nights. Curl up by the fireplaces or unwind on the secluded back deck, taking in the fresh mountain air.

Whether you're here for powder days or summer rides, this is the ultimate basecamp for your next adventure!

Our stay

Overall the house was cute and just what we needed. The basement smelled strong of must so some couldn’t sleep down there. The house was clean and warm. We left a few items and trying to connect to retrieve them hasn’t worked at all.

Just Like Home

Perfectly cozy, close quarters for a at home feeling. Lots of fun and laughs at the kitchen table here. Walkable distance to everything in Government camp made everything that much easier.

Nice location and property !

This is a nice property very close to main drag. Accommodates two families with ease. Only downside is you have to take garbage with you.

Great location, terrible beds and you have to PACK out your garbage!

The layout is great for multiple families. NOTHING has been updated since it was built. Light fixtures without bulbs, limited bath towels, lots of silverware, few bowls and plates...pans from 1980... one cookie sheet that was over 40 years old and was warped... and you have to PACK OUT your garbage! There is no garbage service on site nor in town to dump your garbage. So, pack light!

Perfect cabin for a weekend getaway

Perfect house right off the main strip in government camp. Our friends had a cabin 2 houses down and we all had a grand time skiing and snowboarding. The house was larger than I thought it would be and there were plenty of extra beds. All the queen beds had plenty of privacy perfect for a couple for each queen or king. The extra twin beds were perfect for that random friend that just wanted to stop in to snowboard with us at Skibowl. The snow wasn’t great but we had a great this weekend but we had a great time at the cabin. Thank you

We enjoyed our stay. The location is awesome!

The location is the best part of this house. It did get very warm however and the house was very hot which made sleeping hard. We were also very surprised to learn we had to take our garbage with us. This posed a challenge we did not anticipate. We also never found a key inside but were able to just use one in lock box by the door. The lay out of the house was great and worked well. All and all it was a good stay.

Great location but a bit run down

The home is in such a wonderful location so close to all the fun things Mt Hood has to offer… however, everything about the home and its furnishings felt like they were falling apart. The upstairs shower leaks through the floor, the front door’s doorknob fell off, the dryer sounded like we were trying to dry boulders instead of towels. The lack of trash service at the house made it difficult to manage our garbage - so we had to take a trip to nearby dumpsters each night which was very inconvenient. And the house doesn’t have a broom so the floors got progressively dirtier throughout our stay and the vacuum in the closet didn’t seem to do the trick. We definitely had a blast staying in government camp, but unfortunately the cabin didn’t add to that experience.
