Historic riverfront Steiner cabin in forest with firepit, deck, & patio lounging

Summary:

Zoe's Log Cabin



The Space:

Experience a gorgeous piece of Mt. Hood history at this handcrafted Brightwood cabin, a historical woodland retreat constructed by master carpenter Henry Steiner in 1939. You'll enjoy two private decks, an outdoor firepit, beautiful views of the surrounding forest, and a wondrous location on the shores of the Sandy River!



One of 30 similar homes constructed by the Steiner family, this charming cabin sits among firs, pines, and cedars on the banks of the Sandy River. Each summer, you'll enjoy easy access to fishing and kayaking on the river, hiking trails in the Wildwood Recreation Site, half a mile south, and 27 holes of golf at the Mt. Hood Oregon Resort, two miles southeast. Come winter, you'll have your choice of Mt. Hood ski slopes: 13 miles to Skibowl, 14 miles to Summit, and 20 miles to Timberline. And always come home to a clawfoot tub and lovely details like hand-carved stairs and natural wood railings.

We were looking for a rustic older cabin with reasonable comfort and a forested location. This cabin "Zoe's Cabin" fit the bill. It was built in 1939 using whole logs. The carpentry is fascinating. The cabin has been improved and updated over the years to improve the comfort, but the original ambience and appearance was preserved. It was very clean and tastefully decorated. The bathroom is small but fully functional. The Kitchen is well stocked with whatever you need to cook your meals. There is a TV upstairs and downstairs. Wifi is provided. There is a bedroom downstairs with a small bed. Upstairs there is a king bed and twin bed in the same room. Though not well insulated, there is a propane heater and numerous space heaters available (no problem staying warm). Outside there is the constant sound of the river which is fairly close. Tall trees are all around and neighbors are far enough away you don't notice them. There is a firepit out front that is well made. (Bring your own wood). Out back there is a porch with comfy chairs that overlook the river. Off to the side is a deck that has a propane fire table. Management was pretty good but I did have to ask for additional info several times. They always get back fairly often. Description of the cabin is mostly accurate but needs to be updated. For the most part it is better than described. Be sure to bring some jugs of purified water for drinking, making coffee or cooking. The water tastes bad.

Very rustic and cool cabin. Felt like a movie set right out the 1930s. Beds comfortable. Bathroom and Shower small but fun for the experience. River was great for a cold dip. No road noise, just the sound of the river. Grocery store only 5 min away.

Depends on the Person

I’m sure this property is great for the right person. For me it was just too rustic. Being close to the river is nice but the cabin is very basic so if you like creature comforts this place won’t be for you. If you are a camper you will love the place. You have to be okay with bugs in the house and the water out of the faucets smelling heavily of rust. For me and my crew it just was too much. We ended up leaving after the first night.

Can’t shower

We spent three days for our anniversary and birthday at this cute little cabin and everything would’ve been perfect except for the water taste like rust and we couldn’t bathe in it because it made you smell like rust and your hair smell like rust and your skin was very itchy afterwards just from washing your hands in the water. This is a very big concern and I am going to reach out and ask for a discount due to the fact that Covid is serious and people need to be able to have clean body parts and brush their teeth safely. Also, there’s a club foot tub and the shower is in there but if you were a remotely elder or can’t lift your leg 2 1/2 feet over the cloud foot tub you can’t bathe. The view was gorgeous. The directions getting there awful and they send you to a dead end street. There’s no address posted on the building so we were like creepers walking up to peoples cabins seeing if we were out the right location. It’s very very confusing we drove in circles for like half hour.. The upstairs is completely dangerous. There’s no light in the hallway. The stairs are very steep and spaced apart. You could easily get your foot caught in between the steps. If you’re not careful I wouldn’t recommend going up and down those stairs by themselves.. another thing that was very disappointing and it’s one of the only things that we go to a cabin for is to enjoy a fireplace. Well, the fireplace was broken and it says bring your own wood so we loaded the car with a bunch of wood.😔 waste

the best location ever!

The location in summer is a dream come true... The house is an historic Steiner Cabin - which is lovely... but very impractical when it comes to creature comforts. (no place to store clothes etc; lighting is terrible - bring a night light; since there is no dishwasher, it would be nice if there was a scrubby pad -instead of counter sponge to wash dishes; and stairs up to cute loft area are treacherous). However the location is divine and makes all inconveniences fade.

Unexpected Downfalls

I was so excited to take my best friend for a private weekend away in the woods! Cozy by a warm fire and just watch movies. I found out after booking that the fire place in the cabin was unusable, which is fine, they had a propane fire place to heat. When we arrived there was a giant note saying the propane fire place was not working due to a carbon monoxide leak (which was not communicated to me at all ahead of time). The cabin was FREEZING! The old school plug in wall heaters that they did leave, took over 8 hours to finally get the cabin to a decent temperature. We froze the first night and still woke up to a chilly cabin. We couldn’t even use the second bedroom because we had to prioritize which rooms to keep warm. I reached out immediately the first we realized this and it took hours for the team to respond and still never came back with a solution for me - even as I’m writing this as we are preparing to check out. I wanted to love this cabin so much but the dirty mess and cobwebs, the old musty couch, just not ideal with the other issues we ran into. For the money we paid I am very disappointed in this experience and lack of follow through from the rental company in helping find any solutions. Be warned before you rent this place and be sure the heat is working again!! Saddened renter.

Adorable cabin - but it has some major issues

Three things we liked: It’s an absolutely adorable cabin in a perfect location. We loved hearing & seeing the river in the back. We were close to all the places we wanted to see around Mt. Hood: Ramona Falls, Mirror Lake, Wahkeena to Multnomah Falls Trail, Umbrella & Sahalie Falls, & Little Zigzag Falls. We do all of our own meal prep on vacation, & the kitchen is adequate with almost all we needed to cook at “home” during our stay. The bed was a memory foam mattress, which was very comfortable for us. Three things that would have made our stay better: Better directions to the cabin: Poor cell service interrupted our Google Maps near the cabin. We eventually found the community where the cabin was nestled but there was no house number by the “Zoe’s Cabin” sign. We didn’t even see the sign until the next day. We found the right cabin by going down too many wrong driveways & finally recognizing the cabin from the online pictures we saw when we chose the rental. It would be helpful to have a PDF map with distinct directions to print in advance AND have the house number somewhere on the property. Safe drinking water: The water looks, smells, and tastes “rusty.” After the first sip, we decided that bottled water for drinking was a must. They should provide a Brita-type pitcher. Screens in windows: We opened the tops of the doors, which are screened, but it wasn’t enough to cool the cabin, especially the bedroom. There are too many mosquitos to open unscreened windows.

Beautiful setting with disappointing features

The reason I booked this Cabin was the setting and it is beyond amazing with easy access to the river and set in the wonderful woods, with unobtrusive neighbors nearby. The reasons I am disappointed is the water is terrible and smells of iron and rust. The bathroom tub is not usable and there is low water pressure in the shower anyway. The garbage situation was not possible for us to haul all that way up a gravel road. There needs to be more screens and screen doors so that you can have ventilation in the bedrooms without the onslaught of mosquitoes. The stairs going up to the loft are really scary. Beautiful, artful and really scary, especially in the middle of the night when you need to use the bathroom. The only one is downstairs. I just wish this beautiful cabin was just upgraded a bit more. I love the sound of the water and the setting. Great TV and Wifi set up. The fireplace is wonderful. Well equipped kitchen. Vintage curtains and art everywhere. So special and yet does not make up for the flaws. Nancy

Power Outage

It was very hard to locate the property there are no visible addresses. It was a rustic log cabin. The stairs are more difficult than appears in pictures. Loved the woods and the river view. The power went out Friday night. It was still out in the morning. We left around 9 am Saturday due to the power outage.

Overall a great cabin! I wanted to mention something about the house numbers not being visible from the road. We got to the cabin after dark and it took us 30 minutes to find the right house. The dark paneled Zoe’s cabin sign is not visible in the light. When we initially pulled into the driveway, we saw the two vehicles on the right hand side of the driveway and assumed it was lived in. I assume those belong to the owner. I called Vacasa and was close to tears when she gave us a pretty good description of the front door and we finally found the house. Glow in the dark numbers visible from the road also helps first responders find the house in times of emergencies. Specific directions would also help instead of just the address. Otherwise, we had a great time and it’s a beautiful cabin!

We had such a great time here! Spent most of our time down by the river or on the back porch. The bathroom was the only disappointment, we each almost fell in the shower. But I understand you can't do much about that. Overall we had a great time and would love to come back!
