Cabin has 2 bedrooms and sleeps 4. A luxury queen bed is in the main downstairs bedroom. A sturdy ladder leads upstairs to a small, low-roofed sleeping loft that has one full-sized bed and one twin bed divided by a privacy wall. (Note that NOBODY UNDER AGE 9 is allowed on the ladder or in the loft.) The living room big cushy chair folds out into another twin bed.

The cabin is very comfortable with lots of windows, and retains a mid-century rustic feel. The primary heat source is a woodstove, which cranks plenty of heat - there are also built in space heaters. (Note cabin is uninsulated). But it also has modern conveniences - brand new plumbing with new tiled shower, toilet, water heater, and electrical system, a fully supplied kitchen with a new dishwasher and fridge, and a vintage stove that works great. There's a also a new washer and dryer.

If you just can't get off the grid, there's hi-speed WiFi, a large antique desk and printer, a flat-screen TV (no cable, but streaming Netflix, Amazon, Roku, Hulu), and a Bluetooth speaker. A large covered front porch has an outside dining table and Adirondack chairs. In the very wooded backyard, in good weather months there's a propane BBQ grill, a picnic table and two hammocks. In summer, the cabin is shaded by the woods and well cooled with many fans, and bikes, helmets and a pump are available. On cooler days and nights, you can drink hot chocolate by the wood stove,. From October to April, a fire-ring is available for small bonfires.

There are many games, books and puzzles for children and adults. A booster seat, high chair, portable crib and kiddie pool are available.

Well-behaved dogs of selective breeds are most welcome (as long as they are cleaned up after); dog dishes, a blanket and toys are supplied. SORRY NO CATS or other pets allowed.

The cabin is far enough from the highway to hear no road noise, and close enough to the Salmon River to hear it rushing. The neighbors in the subdivision are nice, mostly families or retired, and very quiet. Many good restaurants and taverns are within 5-10 minutes; several in historic buildings.

The cabin is located 20 minutes to Skibowl, 30 minutes to historic Timberline Lodge and Ski Resort, and 36 minutes to Mt. Hood Meadows, one of the largest ski resorts in Oregon. Several sno-parks offer sledding and cross-country skiing.

In warmer seasons, you can take a short walk down to the Salmon River or bike to the Brightwood country store on one of our bikes. It's only a 5 minute drive to fabulous old growth hiking at the Wildwood recreation area, which has a wild salmon viewing station under the pristine Salmon River. Or 5 minutes in the other direction to lovely Middle Earth-like Barlow Wayside park. The huge Sandy Ridge mountain bike trail system starts only 2 miles from the cabin. It's only 10 minutes to the Zigzag Ranger Station and historic towns of Welches and Rhododendron and 15 minutes to the Salmon Huckleberry Wilderness Area with its famously beautiful Old Salmon River Trail. Slightly further, trails at all levels lead through the Mount Hood National Forest to swimmable lakes, rushing waterfalls, historic pioneer sites and alpine wildflower meadows with 7 mountain vistas. (Or, if the season is right, to huckleberry fields or wild mushrooms.) The very fun Skibowl summer Adventure Park is only 20 minutes from the cabin, with bungee jumping, ziplining and a 1/2 mile alpine slide, across the street from the restaurants and breweries of historic Government Camp. The Timberline Lodge and Mt. Hood Meadows ski resorts are only a short distance further up the mountain - they often have summer events including wine dinners and hiking via chair lifts.
