Stoke the woodstove and watch the fire, read, write, relax. Head out to nearby trails or hit the ski slopes. Then return to your own private basecamp. Hand-built in 1922 and lovingly restored. Simple and rustic. If you love hand-crafted details, you'll fall in love with Mt Hood’s Cedarwood Cabin.

A beautiful enamel woodstove is the centerpiece--with firewood provided!

The queen-sized bed sleeps two, and the folding futon couch can offer an additional sleeping spot. Two sleeping bags and extra blankets provided for slumber-party style sleeping (or forts).

The kitchen is basic, but has tools to turn your groceries into great meals: a plug-in hot-plate and griddle (no oven), makes for classics like pasta dinners or hotcakes and omelet breakfasts. Microwave, coffee grinder, french press, and an assortment of bowls, dishes and utensils are at the ready. Or enjoy the nearby restaurants and brewpubs of Welches.

For travelers accustomed to more modern accommodations, not to worry, you can fall in love here, too. But please know that this cabin, like all historic cabins, can get chilly in the morning, has simple cooking set up, and is by design, a rustic and simple structure.

Cedarwood is a magical place to slow down, unwind, unplug, relax. You won't find a TV, but you'll find fun books on hiking and Mt Hood history, places to read, to rest, to reconnect. Fall asleep to the gentle patter of rain.
