Mt Hood’s historic Cedarwood Cabin

An authentic Mt Hood cabin hand-built in 1922 and lovingly restored. Simple and rustic and charming! If you love hand-crafted details, you'll fall in love with Mt Hood’s Cedarwood Cabin.

A beautiful enamel woodstove is the centerpiece--perfect for curling upon rainy evenings with a book and blanket.

The comfortable bed sleeps two, and the folding futon couch can offer an additional sleeping spot.

The kitchen is basic, but has tools to turn your groceries into yummy meals: a plug-in hot-plate and microwave, coffee grinder, french press, coffee maker, waffle iron, and an assortment of bowls, dishes and utensils are at the ready—but NO OVEN (just be aware for your grocery planning.) Or enjoy the nearby restaurants and brewpubs of Welches.

This cabin, like all historic cabins, is by design, a rustic and simple structure: It can get chilly in the morning; it has simple cooking set up; and the attached bathroom is just a step out the back door, with sink, shower, and toilet, and electric code lock.

Tucked in a wooded neighborhood just off the main Mt Hood Hwy 26, Cedarwood is conveniently located for all that Mt Hood has to offer. It’s close enough to be in civilization, but also feels like stepping back in time into a private cabin world inside. Guests have found it 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.
Make yourself comfortable in this cabin, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator and a microwave.
This smoke-free cabin features books, snowboarding nearby, and sledding nearby. Recreational activities include rock climbing nearby, cross-country skiing nearby, and hiking/biking trails nearby.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Hidden gem with historical significance!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cedarwood Cabin! This rustic and romantic location enthralled us with it's history and charm. It transports you back to a simpler time. The thoughtful but simplistic decor, the ambient Edison style lighting while listening to big band vinyl by the wood stove hits just right. There's also some great literature about the history of this cabin and specific area of Mt Hood Village which is fantastic. Host Ian was excellent in communication and really cares about the historical significance of this cabin. It shows in the attention to detail that he gave. We will definitely be returning some day.

Wonderful weekend!
Cedarwood is a special place. It is rustic but still has modern amenities. The location is the perfect launching point to all the outdoor activities that Mt Hood has to offer (we went on several awesome hikes). Ian is the ideal host and was very attentive to our needs. We would absolutely stay here again.

Cozy, great place to hop in your car and go
This cabin was cute, cozy and clean. We appreciated learning about the interesting cabin history. It was a great home base for quick, easy trips to beautiful places like Little Zig Zag Falls. In retrospect, I think we would have preferred a place in a location where we could have done some exploring/hiking without driving. The cabin is in a quiet, wooded area with other houses around, but there didn't seem to be any trails immediately accessible. Otherwise, fantastic!!

Birthday trip
We rented this cabin for my birthday and it was simple amazing. So clean and stocked fully with everything you could think of and even a few things you might have forgotten. Ian was a great host and provided wonderful, easy directions. Also the little book he leaves in the cabin to educate you on how it all took place was a great idea! We will definitely be back😁

It was quant but not for me.
The property manager was prompt and gave decent directions. There wasn’t any wood for the stove inside or out other than a firestarter. It was chilly and I was tired. We ended up leaving after 30 minutes and booking a hotel.

An absolute gem
Hats off to Ian, this place is amazing. He has gone above and beyond to keep this place authentic to it's history and location from the cabin itself down to the record selections. The first thing you notice is the beautiful wood stove with plenty of kindling and wood provided. The bed complete with down comforter and pillows was comfy and toasty. A microwave, hotplate, electric griddle and waffle iron give you plenty of cooking options. Shower was hot with great pressure. You are provided guide books with plenty of hikes, restaurant recommendations and a history of the property. Our 5 year old excitedly asked if this could be our "new winter headquarters" and we completely agree.

Cozy rustic cabin
Cedar and woodsmoke aromas. Enjoyed building fires as the source of heat and charming atmosphere. Just one quick step through back “porch” to the thoroughly modern (and heated!) bathroom adds to the reminder of days gone by—but it’s so much more comfortable now! Great place to unplug. Let the fire die down and snuggle under the feather comforter through the night. Wake to warm coffee in bed and pancakes on the griddle (if your partner gets up first!) 😉

We loved our stay at this cabin! It was so relaxing and cozy. The games and record player were a big hit with our five year old. Also, the host was very quick to respond when I asked for a few more towels. Highly recommend staying here!
