This is real log construction - full rounded logs inside and out, hand-notched at the corners, with a river rock chimney running floor to ceiling. The deck sits up above a fern-covered slope, so you are level with the trees on three sides and looking straight down at the creek running below.

The entire cabin is yours - no shared spaces, no surprises.

The Neighborhood:

The cabin sits on a quiet dead-end road in Welches, deep in the trees with a creek running past the property. You are minutes from Mt. Hood National Forest trailheads, the Salmon River, and the golf course, market, and restaurants in Welches proper. The Old Salmon River Trail and Mirror Lake make for easy forest hiking, and Government Camp, Timberline Lodge, and Ski Bowl are all a short drive up US-26 for skiing in winter and alpine hiking through the summer. Sandy is the last full-size grocery stop on the way up the mountain.



Getting Around:

🚶 Walking — This mountain retreat is nestled in the Mt. Hood area, surrounded by nature. While not a walkable urban setting, the peaceful surroundings and outdoor recreation more than make up for it.



🚗 Driving — A car is recommended for getting around. The area is well connected via US-26. Free parking at the property.



🏔️ Recreation — Minutes from Mt. Hood ski resorts, hiking trails, and the Sandy River. The charming town of Sandy is a short drive for groceries, dining, and supplies.



✈️ Airport — PDX is approximately 60–75 minutes by car via US-26 West.



Other Things to Note:

• The cabin is on a dead-end gravel road. In winter the driveway may need plowing after heavy snow.

• Heat is controlled by a smart thermostat; it is kept low between stays and warmed ahead of your arrival.

• The loft is an open space overlooking the living room, reached by a staircase with a log railing.

• The living room fireplace is gas — no wood to haul. Please follow the posted instructions and never leave a fire unattended.
