Incredible A-Frame Escape in the Heart of Government Camp, Perfect All Year, Walk to Everything

Snowball House – A Classic A-Frame in the Heart of Government Camp
Welcome to Snowball House, a stunning A-frame retreat in the heart of Government Camp, Oregon! This stylish yet cozy mountain escape is just moments from the ski slopes, offering the perfect home base for year-round adventure.

Unbeatable Location
Nestled just two blocks from groceries, dining, and entertainment, Snowball House provides the perfect mix of convenience and seclusion. In winter, you’re just minutes from Mt. Hood’s best skiing and snowboarding, with Timberline, Skibowl, and Meadows all within easy reach. When the snow melts, explore countless hiking trails, pristine alpine lakes, and outdoor adventures just moments away.

Classic A-Frame Charm
Step inside and experience the perfect blend of style and mountain comfort. The soaring A-frame ceilings and large windows flood the home with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re gathering around the cozy living space after a day on the slopes or enjoying a quiet morning with coffee, every corner of this home is designed for relaxation.

Your Year-Round Retreat
Winter brings skiing, snowboarding, and après-ski fun, while summer offers endless hiking, biking, fishing, and lake adventures. Whether you're here for powder days or warm summer hikes, Snowball House is the ultimate getaway for those looking to experience the beauty of Mt. Hood’s great outdoors.

Book your stay today and make unforgettable memories at Snowball House—where adventure is just outside your door!

We truly want you to enjoy your time and make some wonderful memories with your group. That being said, this is not a party or gathering house for groups that can't control their noise levels. We have relationships with all of our neighbors who have our direct contact information. Quiet time is 10:00 pm to 8:00 am. Please stay indoors during this time, keep the windows and doors closed and keep the volume to an enjoyable but reasonable level. If it is loud enough to be heard outside in these conditions, it is too loud for you to remain our guest. This property includes a noise alert monitoring system in order to ensure that neighborhood noise levels are respected. Again, please realize we want every group to enjoy their time, laugh, have fun and make memories. These devices are only to ensure noise levels don't reach a threshold that bothers our neighbors. Also, please note there is no electronic video surveillance monitoring pools or spas, or on the interior of the house.

This is not a pet friendly home.

The A-Frame was cozy, beautifully maintained, and had cool, unique architecture. We had a wonderful time. I wish I could have stayed longer. Communication from the property owners was exceptional.

The TV did not work for the entire stay and a person came to look at it but could not fix the problem. I had to stand on a chair to reach the dishes and crockery. Fire place did not work.
