Beautifully modern in its design and peaceful, natural, and classic in its woodland surroundings, this contemporary home in Government Camp is a Mt. Hood escape like no other. Summer or winter, you'll be a matter of steps from beautiful trails, gear shops and rentals, restaurants, and après-ski spots.

This home sits among the evergreens on the north side of town, with the Glade Trail accessible just up the road. Whether you spend your days skiing, snowboarding, or hiking, you'll love coming home to an open and airy living space that awaits upstairs on the top floor. This great room features lofty, exposed-beam ceilings, plentiful and generous windows that frame the forest, and a layout that brings together the kitchen, the dining room, and the living room. The sleek kitchen features upscale appliances (including a double-drawer refrigerator, a beverage cooler, and a dishwasher), streamlined cabinetry, and seating at both a windowside breakfast bar and a modern dining table. You can also grill and dine outside on the deck in the fresh alpine air.

After dinner each evening, you'll have your choice of lounge spaces - you can curl up for a movie on the leather sofa in the living room or sip hot cocoa on the deck in the warmth of the fire table. There's even a studio space on the ground floor with its own sofabed, flatscreen TV, and kitchenette for drinks and popcorn. When it's time to turn in, you'll find two bedrooms in addition to the studio, each with its own TV to lull you to sleep.

Great quiet retreat

The peaceful setting with the creek noise is perfect. Plenty of hiking trails just a short distance from the house. Easy walk into town for food and drinks. Will definitely stay again.

Great overall experience

Balcony on the third floor with a woods view and a stream going on in the backyard was fantastic. The sound of the water stream was soothing with large open concept living room and huge kitchen. Definitely need to climb up the stairs as the main living room is in the third floor and there is no restroom in 3rd floor so you will have to use the floor-2 or floor-1 for restrooms. It was little inconvenient but overall the experience was so great with the view on floor-3 as captured in the listing pictures

Modern home in woodsy setting - the perfect combination!

This is the second year we've stayed at this home, and we love it. It is always kept super clean, and while it's a three story affair, the layout is great and the spaces are both modern but cozy. Our particular trip saw an issue with the fridge's water dispenser, but that's hardly the homeowner's fault, and I'm sure they'll fix it. We love it for the style, the setting, and its proximity to Mt. Hood Skibowl and the Alpine Slide, which my kids love (I do too). Highly recommended!!!

Excellent setting.

Nearly incomparable setting in the woods but super convenient. Beautiful house, but needs minor maintenance; eg even a Zen master couldn't relax with the fridge beeping.

Cozy newer cabin with great views and prime location

We really enjoyed our stay at Baernhaus. Great location for expoloring downtown and hiking up the mountain via public trails. The only downside was the quality of cleaning prep, but I am sure this will be addressed for future visits.

Perfect Mt Hood Getaway

This is our second time staying at Baernhaus- it has become our go-to place to stay in Government Camp. Clean, sleek, modern but very cozy. Perfect location- short 1 block walk to Govy, yet completely private setting, elevated in the trees. Nice separation of bedrooms from common areas. Bedroom arrangement better suited for families but workable for couples. Definitely staying here again!

Perfect location, but several other issues

I hate to leave a bad review, but there are some things folks should know before reserving and some things the owners could improve. The location is fantastic! By far the best location in town. The biggest issue and why we would not stay again is the beds/layout. We were two couples and two teenagers. One couple had the room with the queen, which was fine, but the double on the same floor is small and the nightstands are right up against the bed. This shouldn't be a complaint because it is accurate to the description, but know that it's a double (not a full) and a very tight fit for two adults. The pull-out downstairs, which is the same as the one upstairs, is two separate slide-outs (smaller than twins). The teens each took one side and were ok, but no way two adults could sleep there comfortably. Not a huge issue but be aware that the kitchen is on the 3rd floor, so the load in is a long haul. The house has lots of extras but was missing basics: In a house that sleeps 8, there were 5 dinner plates and 5 forks. Not a single dish towel, no foil, no salt & pepper. But the real issue came when the power went out. Totally not their fault (all of Govy lost power), but the house had one TINY flashlight and some tealight candles. No lanterns, no real flashlights, no snow shovel. The fireplace is electric, so no heat w/o power. The neighbor lent us a shovel so we could leave after a night w/o heat, but how do you have a winter cabin w/ no preparedness amenities?

Very cozy

We loved how cozy it was, with the fireplace inside and the fire pit outside. The grill was clean and usable, we made steak and it cooked great. Plenty of dishes and other kitchen appliances for everything we needed. The only thing missing was a kettle to make hot tea. We used a pot to boil water. Also loved the fact that we could do a late check-out at 2pm, that made the trip so much better as we didn't have to rush in the morning.

Great house!

My family and I really enjoyed our time here. The area is very beautiful and quiet and it's just a five minute walk to the general store and a few other shops. The house was very clean and well appointed. I really appreciated how the owners listened to past guests and added a coffee maker and an extension cord for the lights outside.

Forest Magic

First time in the Pacific Northwest. As an avid camper, I am familiar with the southwest and southeast environments. I was sent to Portland for business and saw the opportunity to stay the weekend to explore. After scouting the area via Google I settled on the Mount Hood forest area. Quick search on VRBO landed me to discover Govy and the wonderful property I stayed at amongst the trees. Well appointed, very clean, with a modern vibe. Every detail was covered. Truly enjoyed everything about this location as a jumping off point. Walking distance to the town center. It all aligned to make this visit "Forest Magic vacay" to remember. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful home with views of the forest and stream. Lovely design. Well stocked kitchen.

Everything about the place was wonderful. The only issue was the downstairs room. To use as a third bedroom for adults needs an improved bed. Otherwise great stay!
