About this property

Cozy retreat, newly renovated with loft, hot tub, creek access, pet friendly

Escape to this serene woodland retreat, minutes from Mt. Hood’s slopes and scenic nearby lakes. Warm up by the gas fireplace, unwind in the hot tub—nestled among the trees, and savor the calming rush of nearby Still Creek. Big windows frame the forest’s quiet beauty, plush beds promise a restful night's sleep, and a snug loft ignites the kids' adventures. Fully equipped for meals, Marion Pines is perfect for families or couples craving skiing, hiking, or tranquility. Your mountain haven awaits!

Proximity to:
Mt Hood Ski Bowl - 8 miles
Timberline Lodge - 10 miles
Meadows - 20 miles

Our property backs up to a natural forest, providing a tranquil backdrop for your stay. If you're brave enough, a creek just beyond the backyard sets the stage for your cold plunging adventures (when outside, guests should expect to hear the water flowing)

Our cabin offers versatile sleeping arrangements to accommodate your group comfortably. You'll find two cozy bedrooms on the main floor, each with their very own queen sized beds. Upstairs, the spacious loft features two twin sized beds along with a full sized bed.

The recently renovated kitchen boasts state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, including a convenient dishwasher. We've done our best to stock the place with supplies and amenities for your stay, including a coffee maker, hand mixer, toaster, microwave, hot water kettle, baking sheet, pots, pans, mixing bowls, electronic hand mixer, a wide variety of utensils, cutting boards, food storage containers, etc. We also stock things like dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, cleaning supplies and more!

Surrounded by a canopy of trees, a brand-new 7-person, 65-jet hot tub awaits just steps off the deck. Take in the crisp mountain air, relax and enjoy the soothing sounds of the nearby creek. For everyone’s safety, please ensure a responsible adult is present at all times. Please keep hot tub covered when not in use

Stay connected with high-speed internet, offering speeds up to 500 Mbps. After a day of adventure, relax by the fireplace and stream your favorite shows on Amazon, Hulu, Peacock, Netflix, Apple TV, etc. (personal sign on required)

Enable Wi-Fi calling and our internet's got your back—you'll be able to text and call seamlessly. In the event the internet goes down, your cell reception becomes pretty limited. However, a short walk outside usually solves any connection emergencies

Security cameras monitor exterior door entries and the driveway. The hot tub and all indoor spaces remain completely private

We are Pet-Friendly. In doing so, we ask you to please be respectful of our furniture and our space (dogs - no other animals are allowed without specific owner approval)

Please understand that our location in the woods may occasionally experience power and internet outages due to factors like fallen trees and weather-related incidents. Times until resolve vary and are out of our control. We appreciate your understanding in these situations.

Property elevation is around 1500 ft. In snowy conditions, the driveway may require shoveling. During heavy snow, chains, snow tires and/or a 4WD vehicles are recommended.

Conveniently located, grocery stores and fast-food options are just a hop, skip and a jump away. A short walk over the Rhododendron Foot Bridge will take you to the Mt Hood Express shuttle stop - Hwy 26/Village Mart (next to Mt Hood Foods) for ease of transportation to the ski resorts.

Our asks of you:
- Please be respectful and aware of our neighbors, especially when it comes to noise and traffic
- Please no glitter or confetti on the premises
- Please no parties unless arranged with owners prior to booking

Cozy, not private

Great house, beautiful place. Perfect amenities.I learned to read the fine print on VRBO listings. This is not waterfront. There are multiple NO TRESSPASSING signs everywhere on the way to the water which were slightly off putting. My rule following son was terrified we were on someone else's property. There are 4 outdoor cameras FACING the house from every angle. I understand to keep an eye on your property but one of which faces an entire wall of windows. I am 100% sure I walked past it half naked at least once before I recognized it there. The cameras might as well have been inside the home. Every square inch of that house is being watched. I felt like my peaceful retreat in the woods was being watched very closely, and it creeped me out a bit to be honest.

Great Mountain getaway

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was very well kept with all the things we needed. Property manager was very easy to communicate with and the location was perfect for running into Welches to go to the store or up to the mountain to ski. Our family had a great time and we will definitely be back!

Snowy Weekend/Good for Hood

We arrived with about 4 inches snow all around the property. No snow shovel provided, we had to ask and it came the next day. The steps needed shoveled all around the 3 entrances.The upstairs with 3 beds, is an old attic. It was too cold for the kids. We didnt want to ask for a space heater since asking for more towels was initially met with telling us to refresh them ourselves. The owner thought 1 towel per person per stay was sufficient. We showered after the hot tub, in the morning or after Mt Hood activities.. I did get more towels the next day. Guests should NOT have to do towel laundry.Check in was delayed, We arrived 15 minutes early and our code wasn't working. Once I got connected to wifi and sent a message on VRBO it was just after 4pm. The code finally worked, but the owner made it sound like it was our fault since he set it up to work at 3:40...ummm no.There are no mirrors other than the one in the bathroom so good luck getting ready for the day with everyone.My children didn't want to sleep in the cold attic space with super low ceilings off the mud room up some old wooden stairs. I even thought it was spooky.The hot tub wasn't very conveniently placed on the property up a hill.I actually would not recommend this place unless it was a last resort and you were snowed in on 26. The owner made communication awkward to the point i didnt want to communicate anymore after the towel thing. He will probably respond to my rating with something to make me sound bad.

Perfect for Ski Camp Week!

Our family stayed here for 10 days while our kids had ski camp at Mt Hood. Short and easy drive to the ski hill and to Welches for groceries. The hosts were super communicative and responsive. The home was super clean and comfortable and the property setting was magical.
