About This Home
Originally built in 1935, the Benson Cabin remained in the same family for more than 60 years before thoughtful updates preserved its original mountain charm. Located just a block from the Sandy River, you can hear the sounds of the water from both the front porch and backyard.Enter through the tiled mudroom, perfect for shedding wet gear after a day on the mountain. The space also includes a stack washer and dryer for convenience. Inside, the living room showcases a beautiful stone fireplace with a wood stove insert, ideal for cozy Mt. Hood evenings. Original wood floors, knotty pine walls, and glossy wood ceilings maintain the authentic 1930s cabin character. Just off the living room, the covered front porch invites morning coffee and book reading afternoons.The updated kitchen offers plenty cabinet storage, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and a cozy dining nook. Two bedrooms sit off the main living area. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and slider to the back deck. Above the second bedroom is a hidden loft complete with carpeting, heat, and skylight—perfect as a kids’ hideaway or extra storage space.Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, the cabin is dog friendly with a fully fenced backyard.
