Authentic Vintage Cabin • Woodstove • Romantic Getaway for Two

Escape to an original 1920s Mount Hood cabin with firelight, handcrafted charm, and the perfect cozy setting for romantic getaways.

If you’re searching for an authentic cabin—one with history, charm, and handmade details—Cedarwood Cabin awaits. Hand-built in 1922 and lovingly restored, this is real Mount Hood heritage, ready to transport you back in time for quiet evenings of connection.

At the heart of the cabin is a beautiful enamel woodstove. Light a fire, settle into the cozy couch, and let the evening unfold with books, board games, vintage records, warm blankets, and the soft glow of vintage lighting.

Sleeping & Layout

Cedarwood is a classic one-room cabin, ideal for couples. The double bed sleeps two, and the futon couch folds down for an additional sleeping spot.

Kitchenette

The kitchen is simple but well-equipped with essentials: a plug-in hot plate, griddle, microwave, coffee grinder, French press, and a full assortment of dishes, utensils, and cookware. There is no oven. Prefer a night out? Restaurants and brewpubs in Welches are just minutes away.

Bathroom

The bathroom is only a step outside the back door (with covered entry). Inside, it’s fully remodeled with a subway-tile shower, sink, toilet, cedar shelves, and a twist-timer heater for comfort during chilly mornings or evenings.

For Guests Accustomed to Modern Homes

You can absolutely fall in love with Cedarwood’s charm—but please know this is a true cabin, rustic and simple by design. You won’t find a TV or modern luxury finishes. You will find history, character, and handmade, old-world craftsmanship.

What You’ll Love

• No TV—just books on hiking, wildflowers, and Mount Hood history
• Soft blankets, handmade pillows, and a snug couch for reading or cuddling
• The peaceful patter of rain on the roof

The Setting

Cedarwood sits on a small loop road of cabins and homes—quiet, safe, and neighborly. You may see someone walking a dog, but privacy is well respected. From inside, your view is filled entirely with trees.

Conveniently located just off Highway 26:
• <5 miles to Welches
• 5–10 miles to popular trailheads
• 15–30 miles to ski areas
• Easy year-round access; no 4WD required
Guest access
The entire cabin and property is available to guests, including the outdoor river-rock firepit (excluding burn-ban season)
Other things to note
RUSTIC BY DESIGN
Please know that this is a true cabin experience. It is not a modern house with some decorating touches to evoke the "style" of a mountain cabin—it is an ACTUAL CABIN. Think of it more like “glamping.” The bathroom is a step outside (though covered). For some, this may be their first experience with rustic and feel like they are truly "roughing it." For those who love to stay in places like yurts, lookout towers, wall tents, tiny houses, and tree houses, Cedarwood Cabin will feel like magic!

PRIVACY
Located in a small loop road with about a dozen or so other cabins and homes, you can see neighbors from the property. (So while it is indeed a getaway from the city, please do not expect to be deep in the wilderness.) However, from the inside, you’ll feel transported. The views from the windows are filled with trees, and the Pendleton wool curtains can be drawn to make your cabin experience all you own.

This is a classic 1-room cabin. The floor plan is open. Dividing the space between bedroom, kitchen, and living room is a plank wall, and curtain. Ideal for couples. But please note the minimal privacy for more than a solo traveler or couple.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Salmon River. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and a fireplace in the holiday home.

Incredible getaway, the cabin was gorgeous. We couldn't use the fireplace since there was a burn ban in effect but it was still incredibly cozy. Everything about our stay was smooth, lots of great info provided by the host. Located near some beautiful hiking trails and close enough to visit Portland too.

We were excited for our stay at this property; however, shortly after our arrival we found a mouse. We contact VRBO and the owner. The owner denied our claim “as it had never happened before” and refused to refund us although we had to find alternative lodging (Marriott hotel in South Portland). Overall it was a bad experience.

Enjoyed our stay

My 12-year-old daughter and I had the best mommy-daughter trip at Cedarwood Cabin! It was cozy, peaceful, and had everything we needed. We loved playing games, listening to records, and learning about the cabin’s history. The perfect place to disconnect and make special memories together!

Peaceful cabin

Ian’s cabin was an excellent place to stay near Mount Hood! The cabin was a perfect and peaceful place with everything we needed. Ian also had several recommendations for hikes and restaurants in his guest book that were perfect to go check out. Highly recommend but will note for those that may not notice in the listing there is no WiFi and very little to no cell signal.

Lovely cabin

Ian is a spectacular host! The cabin is rustic and cozy and well equipped. Has a lovely history that you can read about when you are there. Loved our mornings on the front porch sipping coffee! Many wonderful hikes in the area-from easy to challenging. Hope to return to this charmer!

Cute cabin

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would visit again. I loved reading about the history of the cabin.We did wish that the linens were stocked for our visit. We said four people were coming, but there was a top sheet but no bottom sheet for the futon. Also, there was one washcloth in the bathroom for all four of us! Another kitchen towel or two for our three night stay would have been nice, too.

Stayed 3 nights with two others that used the cabin as a platform to hike Mount Hood. Nice cabin, but the cell service was very limited and there is no WiFi (which was disclosed), but did not realize the cell service was so limited. Otherwise, nice place and owner is very response

Not as secluded as the pics mate it appear. My fault but didn’t realize there’s no stovetop (hot plate and plug in grill sufficed though). Overall cute cabin for rustic experience.

Nothing Short of Magic

Stepping into this cabin, you can tell the host has thoughtfully and carefully worked through each detail to capture the history and beauty of the area. The cabin was so peaceful, with sounds of rain and the river nearby, beautiful lookout windows, and the comfiest bed. Woodstove kept us toasty warm (after a couple of failed attempts to start a fire), and the bathroom located just outside the cabin was the perfect refreshment needed.Kitchen is stocked with everything needed! Delicious waffles and coffee was had. The hot plate situation may look a little daunting, but we were able to cook up meals easily.Such a wonderful, peaceful stay! Highly recommend.
