About this cabin rental

Summary:

Welcome to The Founder, an iconic hand-built cabin crafted by the founder of the Rockhouse Restaurant. Tucked on private property, this cabin pairs historic character with modern touches—1800s barn beams, a chef’s kitchen, a wood-burning stove, and an expansive wraparound deck. Enjoy the hot tub, fire pit, fast Wi-Fi, and full privacy. PLEASE NOTE: the cabin is reached by a very steep set of steps and is not suitable for guests with mobility limitations.



The Space:

Inside, the main level features an open-concept living area with a real wood-burning stove, plush seating, and a chef’s kitchen equipped with a commercial gas range, quality cookware, luxury knives, and bar seating for four. This floor also includes a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, double vanity, bidet, and washer/dryer. Sleeping options include a queen bedroom, a king bedroom, and a cozy twin bunk room accessible only through the king room. Upstairs, a lofted lounge offers oversized couches and a smart TV for movie nights.



Outdoors, a massive covered deck wraps around the cabin, providing space to grill on the propane BBQ (propane supplied), relax on the outdoor seating, or take in the forest views. The uncovered hot tub sits just off the deck, while the firepit—perfect for stargazing evenings—awaits below (guests provide firewood). This cabin blends history, comfort, and seclusion for an unforgettable Gorge stay.

Great cabin in The Red. Cabin had everything we needed as a home base for our family climbing trip. Awesome location 15 minutes from most south crags (next to Rock House is a huge plus), incredible views, clean and easy check in/check out.

Convenient location and unique cabin. No dining table or living room furniture on the main floor was bizarre. Beds were way too soft. Strange towels and no standard coffee maker.
