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.

This cabin was awesome! It is private and away from the other cabins nearby which I like. This is the easiest cabin to get to. The climb up the stairs isn’t great but it isn’t terrible either. Nothing to complain about it. I loved this place and will be back!

Great stay and great property

Had a really lovely low key honey moon here. We absolutely loved the chefs kitchen and the wood burning stove. It has large beautiful windows, the only downside is there is no curtains in the bedrooms. I'm bit of a scaredy cat so that gave me anxiety thinking someone could be watching.

The property has so much much beauty to it, but is lacking the attention it once had+deserves. This cabin is marked as the “founders” cabin. The owner of the restaurant below Or old owner. Upon arriving the smell of moisture and mold was powerful but, the beauty of the place was there. arriving we noticed a broken window that had electrical tape holding it together and a broken window in the cooking area. There was water standing in the drawers of the fridge as well. In the child’s room there is a decent hole next to the electrical outlet which is right in the bed area of the bottom bunk… shocking? The child’s room was the room with the most overwhelming smell. I didn’t let my kids sleep in there because I didn’t want to risk them getting sick from mold. Tuesday rolls around and we had some spraying done while hiking. Wednesday the ac in the main area stopped working. Thankfully I brought a fan on vacation and used it to blow out the cold air from the downstairs room so that the kitchen and upstairs wasn’t to hot to handle because that’s the main living area+where my kiddos were sleeping. Informed the property management of the issue and kept things as dry as I could but no one ever showed up. Each sleep was filled with moist bedding. Outside furniture had to be cleaned before it was able to be used and had to sweep after spray. Filled with expensive items that are nice to use. This place has so much potential I hope it gets the tlc it deserves!
