About This Home

Step back in time at this original 1935 cabin tucked along the Zigzag River in the Mt. Hood National Forest. Inside, you’ll find soaring vaulted ceilings with wood beams, knotty pine walls and ceilings, wood floors, and a stunning stone fireplace that anchors the great room with lodge style charm. Paned windows fill the cabin with natural light, while a new slider opens to the riverside deck, just a stone’s throw from the water.After a day on the slopes at Mt. Hood or hiking nearby forest trails, this is the perfect place to unwind. Plenty of parking makes gathering with friends and family easy. A cozy wood stove warms the dining area and fully equipped kitchen, while a second deck just off the kitchen is ideal for summer barbecues and outdoor dining.The soothing sound of the river can be heard throughout the cabin. A spiral staircase leads upstairs to a spacious loft bedroom overlooking the main living area, along with a private bedroom beyond. Fall asleep to the peaceful sounds of the river flowing just outside your window.Outside, enjoy a picnic area for afternoon lunches and games, a firepit for evening stories under the stars, and stone steps leading down toward the river.
