The Space:
This 1,600 sq ft cabin in Zig Zag Village sits in the woods at the foot of Mt. Hood, just minutes from Government Camp and Timberline. Three bedrooms โ two on the main floor with a king and a queen, and an upstairs bunk room with two bunk beds (full on bottom, twin on top) that doubles as a casual hangout space โ sleep up to 10 comfortably. Two full bathrooms keep bigger groups moving in the morning.
The living room is anchored by a fireplace and opens to a fully stocked kitchen with everything for a real cabin meal: stove, oven, dishwasher, full cookware, dining table for the whole crew. Step out to the backyard and you've got a hot tub, fire pit, BBQ, and outdoor seating โ the kind of setup where everyone lands at the end of the day. The Village HOA also gives guests shared access to the Sandy River โ a short walk through the community's maintained trails. Easy spot for a morning coffee on the bank, summer wading, or just listening to the water. Heat, A/C, in-unit washer/dryer, and reliable WiFi round it out. A real cabin that doesn't feel rough.

The Neighborhood:
Zig Zag Village is a quiet, wooded community at the base of Mt. Hood, about an hour east of Portland on Highway 26. You're 10 minutes from Government Camp and 20 from Timberline Lodge โ close enough to ski, hike, or sled in the morning and be back at the cabin for dinner.
A few short drives and you'll find local favorites: Zig Zag Mountain Cafe for breakfast, Skyway Bar & Grill for live music and barbecue, and the Zig Zag Inn for a classic Mt. Hood meal. There's a grocery store nearby for stocking up, plus gear rental shops in Government Camp if you forgot anything.
In summer, the Sandy River is a short walk away through the community's maintained trails, and the Salmon River, Trillium Lake, and dozens of hiking trails are all close by. In winter, it's all about the slopes โ Timberline, Mt. Hood Skibowl, and Mt. Hood Meadows are all within 30 minutes. Year-round, this stretch of Mt. Hood is one of Oregon's most-loved escapes, and Zig Zag Village puts you right in the middle of it.
Getting Around:
Portland International Airport (PDX) is about 70 minutes away via Highway 26 east. There's no public transit out here โ a car is essential for getting to and around Mt. Hood. The cabin has off-street parking for up to 3 cars in designated spots on the side of the home.
In winter, traction tires or chains are required on Highway 26 from late November through April โ check Oregon DOT for conditions before heading up. Roads are plowed but can get snowy overnight.
Nearby drive times: Government Camp (10 min), Mt. Hood Skibowl (15 min), Trillium Lake (15 min), Timberline Lodge (20 min), downtown Portland (60โ75 min).
Other Things to Note:
๐ญ No Smoking or Vaping
Smoking and vaping are not allowed anywhere on the property, indoors or outdoors. Guests who wish to smoke or vape must leave the property completely.
The cabin is multi-level with bedrooms on both floors and stairs to the upstairs bunk room, which may not be ideal for guests with mobility limitations.
