Elk Park Retreat - A Comfy & Stylish Mt. Hood Cabin - Hot Tub, Dogs OK

Elk Park Retreat is a modern family-friendly cabin in Welches with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.

Located only a short one-hour drive from Portland in the mountain community of Welches, Elk Park Retreat is a world away. The property is conveniently located less than 2 miles from the grocery store and multiple restaurants and shops. It is the perfect base for exploring the hiking, biking, snow sports, golfing, fishing and other outdoor activities Mt. Hood offers. Comfortably accommodates 6 guests.

The 1200 sqft cabin has been freshly remodeled with all new kitchen and bathrooms and designer touches throughout. Stylish, comfortable furnishings provide a relaxing vibe to spend time with your friends and family.

Enjoy preparing meals in the fully-equipped kitchen with gleaming quartz counters, new appliances, and a deep basin sink. This kitchen has everything you need: pots and pans, coffee maker, toaster, dishes for grown-ups and kids, cutting boards and utensils. Have a seat at the peninsula with 3 bar stools or gather at the dining room table.

In the open floor plan living room, lounge on the luxe sectional sofa or the swivel chair. You will also find two cozy poufs for extra seating that are also perfect for sitting in front of the wood burning stove. Enjoy a movie on the 55” Roku TV with Sonos soundbar; the Roku guest mode will let you use your favorite streaming services. There is a cabinet stocked with books, games and puzzles for your leisure time.

After a day of adventuring, unwind in the new hot tub. The spa accommodates 6 guests and is maintained at a comfortable 102 degrees, with an easy to open and close cover. Spa towels are provided. We recommend sandals or other shoes to walk to the hot tub.

The elegant primary suite offers a king size Nectar Premier Hybrid bed, a large vintage MCM dresser, and a closet for stowing your items. Freshen up in the en-suite bathroom, which has a low curb walk-in shower with custom tile and a luxurious rain shower head.

The inviting second bedroom contains a queen bed with a comfortable Casper mattress and a dresser.

The forest-themed third bedroom contains twin bunk beds, a beanbag chair and a cabinet holding a selection of kids books and activities.

The hall bathroom features a deep bathtub perfect for bubble baths.

The laundry room has a new high-efficiency washer and dryer and environmentally friendly products.

High-speed Internet is provided with WiFi reaching throughout the cabin.

We have also provided the following amenities for your convenience: phone chargers in each bedroom, pack-n-play, kids dishes, step stool, cleaning products, extra pillows, towels and blankets.

An EV charger is located on the side of the carport next to the house.

Surrounded by a grove of towering cedar and fir trees, the cabin is painted a subdued green to blend in with the wooded landscape. In the warmer months, fire up the gas grill and dine al fresco on the back patio. Enjoy the peaceful forest setting and relax in style.
