Winter b day getaway

It was so cozy and calm. There is no central heat, so it took a day of burning wood to get the house warm. We also couldn’t figure out how to operate the oven the stove part we got, but not the oven. I just love being in the woods and that cozy cabin. It was lovely.

Cozy Cabin

We had a wonderful time at this cozy cabin. It was surprisingly spacious, conveniently close to the mountain for snow boarding, and we could gaze up at the moon from the hot tub. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

Cool little cottage in the woods.

We had a wonderful stay at the alder wood. It met all of our needs. The oven knob is backwards, so when cooking turn it to the opposite direction and the oven will actually heat up. Thanks for the great stay.

Cute little cabin

This place is amazing. We really enjoyed the wood work. The surrounding area was so peaceful. Big trees and moss and ferns everywhere. There's a trail that leads to the river. Pretty rad spot. Glad I got to experience it's beauty.

First ski getaway of the season

The location is great to getting around. Getting to the place had lots of potholes. The cabin is cozy and comfortable with some quirks, including light switches around corners, a wood fireplace with no instruments and comes very cold. Feedback: the fireplace glass window came out and had to be put back in twice. The hot tube started to smell quickly and on the last day I had to shower immediately afterwards due to the smell. Also tried to extend the stay for late check out but didn’t hear back.

We Didn’t Want to Leave!

Despite being a rental this cabin really feels like a family vacation home. It’s charming and cozy and tucked into the woods on a dead end street in a quiet neighborhood. The cabin has a rustic feel but also has a hot tub and great WiFi. There are little walking trails right out the front door and it’s easy to get to the Zig Zag River on foot. There are multiple restaurants and a grocery store nearby. We have rented other properties on Mt.Hood many times and this is our favorite so far! We plan to return as often as we can.

Cozy cabin

Woodsy & beautiful home with trails within walking distance! Tight for a group of 6. Home did not provide sheets for the pullout couch or a sponge for doing dishes, and cooking amenities were minimum. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay! Recommend walking through the forest to Skyway

Vacasa service was horrible

The cabin is very nice, but thats unfortunatly where it ends.The servise by Vacasa was simply horrible (vrbo responsibility as well as i booked the place via Vrbo website). We asked for broken items to be fixed from day one. The only answe we got is that the local service partner was contacted, No one came to fix anything or calld us.The main trash cans were full the entire week so we did not have a place to get rid of our trash, which was very annoying. The previous guest's trash was there for the entire week. Animals got into it and we had to clean it, which is a big reason why we had to keep our trash inside.This is the first and the last time I book a vacation via Vrbo and Vacasa. Horriible service and customer service

Special Place

This place has everything you need. The hot tub was really hot (close lid and turn bubbles on a few minutes before you get it to heat it up) and so nice to spend time in once our kid went to sleep. The trails off the property were perfect. We took a day trip up to the Timberline Lodge but were happy to be staying here and not at the lodge when we got back as it's just so cozy and secluded. The BBQ place up the road was awesome too!

Zig Zag Cabin

Lovely cabin in a quiet little neighborhood off 26. Easy drive up to skiiing, etc. and close to the area's markets and restaurants.Comfortable, tidy, well appointed cabin. Would gladly stay again. Few suggestions: new mattress in the back bedroom (SUPER squeaky), couple plastic boot trays at the front door, and directions for the hot tub & wood burning stove.

Cute cabin

Cute little cabin in the woods! Nice and private and secluded. Hot tub was wonderful! The place was clean lots of books and games we liked the cards specifically. The only real downside was the beds are very hard and not very comfortable! But all in all we enjoyed our stay and would go back!

Great for recreationalists

My husband and I stayed here as part of our hiking honeymoon trip and had a good time. The listing was accurate and had what we needed in the kitchen. The hot tub was great after long hiking days. The cabin is in a perfect location for day hikes to Mount Hood, Columbia River, Portland, and high desert. Foot paths around the rental lead through the woods to the river. We look forward to coming back!

Cozy rustic

Spent our anniversary weekend here and brought our dog with us. Quiet but with plenty to do. There is a small trail behind the place that our dog loved to explore. The cabin was so cozy. Great for naps after hikes and the sitting room is perfect for late night conversation and music on the record player. We Will be back.

Not the best but not the worst.

The location of the home was great. Great food options around as well! There is a structure/house attached to the house. When we arrived there was a wadded up blanket on the couch near the front door. The hot tub had debris in the bottom, and mud on the rim of the hot tub. Other than that, the house was clean. There was ice provided in the freezer which was nice!

Mountain cabin

This is a small cabin on Mt Hood. It was clean and well stocked. It is very simple. The bed was comfortable. We had a difficult time figuring out how to get the heat on and there wasn't any instructions. There is a wood stove but there was not any kindling, only large pieces of wood. There was lighter fluid next to the wood but we decided that seemed unsafe. The hot tub was old and smelled a little funky but it was hot and we enjoyed it. The cabin itself looks out onto a pretty forest. The houses around the cabin are very poorly cared for and had lots of trash around. It was nice we could bring our dogs.

Great all around!

The cabin was clean and great for relaxing! Only a few minor things that other people have also mentioned. The master bedroom bed is not comfortable at all. Lighting outside is hard to see to get to the hot tub and deck. It has solar lights but most of them don't work. Other than that the place was really great! They had a lot of DVDs and records to play. Also had a path out the backyard that led to the river and a restaurant. We would stay here again.
