About this property

Forest retreat with epic views

-= Unfortunately the VRBO platform has numerous continued issues. Please consider booking using the other major platform =-

About this space:
Distinctive 1962 modernist retreat featuring octagonal great room, vaulted ceilings, and wraparound forest views. Premium furnishings including Tuft & Needle beds and ScanDesign living space. Two private bedroom wings, each with full bath and deck access. Striking white stone fireplace anchors the space. Custom stone terraces with cedar dining. Complete privacy at forest's edge, minutes to Mt Hood recreation. Perfect for romantic getaways, remote work, or small families seeking natural serenity.

The property has been in service for two years, with excellent reviews, but is new to VRBO.

The space:
This 1962 architectural gem showcases the best of Pacific Northwest modernism. The unique octagonal design centers around a dramatic great room where floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic forest views. Two private bedroom wings extend from this central space, creating an ideal layout for both shared time and solitude.

The home's thoughtful design brings the outside in, with every room opening to the wraparound deck through sliding glass doors. Custom stone terraces, designed by a Chicago landscape architect, cascade down through the property, creating multiple outdoor living spaces surrounded by native plantings.

Inside, premium furnishings and carefully chosen pieces reflect the home's architectural character. The master suite features a Tuft & Needle queen bed with W Hotels down featherbed topper, while the second bedroom offers high-end Stump Town twin beds (convertible to queen). The living space is appointed with ScanDesign and West Elm pieces that complement the mid-century aesthetic.

Perfect for all seasons, winter brings cozy evenings by the striking stone fireplace, while summer invites al fresco dining at the custom cedar table surrounded by herb gardens. Despite being minutes from Mt. Hood recreation, the property's position creates a sense of complete forest immersion.
