In addition to the store with its renowned bakery and groceries, Mazama is home to the Goat’s Beard outdoor store (with mountain bike and fat bike rentals), the Mazama Ski School for cross country ski lessons and rentals, and the popular Mazama Public House for local brews, food and music.
From winter 2024/25 we are expecting a new groomed nordic ski trail connecting Liberty Woodlands to Timberline Meadows and the John's Way Trail, providing a connection to Mazama and the Upper Valley trail system. This new trail will pass a few yards from the cabin making this a ski-in ski-out property. The lower valley trails can be accessed from the trailhead at Brown's Farm 2 miles down the road (a future trail is also planned to connect direct from Liberty Woodlands).
