Beautiful Cabin in Government Camp | Cabin in Government Camp
3 Bedroom Cabin in Government Camp
Summary:
Rustic but elegant log cabin in Government Camp. Next to Ski Bowl East in a prime location for Mountain fun--and just a short walk to restaurants.
It’s clean and comfortable, and packed with character. Cozy up with a wood burning stove while it snows or have a campfire by the wildflowers. Or grab the (well-loved) paddleboards and head to Trillium Lake.
A well behaved dog is welcome with approval, additional $50 cleaning fee. No cats please. Ask about discounts for multi-week rentals.
The Space:
A great place for friends or families to relax, hang, get outdoors and cook together. Perfect for two families of 4.
Offers a large living space, with an open kitchen and dining area. Well stocked for group meals. Table expands to comfortably seat 8.
Cozy reading nooks. Cupboard stocked with board games + foosball table in the basement. Plenty of options for movie night with large TV.
Bedrooms are upstairs with a bathroom with heated floors and a soaking tub. Shower in the main bathroom.
Winter entry is through the garage -- which is perfect for shedding wet and muddy outerwear. Hang gear by the wood fire for fast drying.
Equipment for guests:
In the winter there are four pairs of snowshoes you are welcome to use - one small, two medium, one large.
For summer, there are four stand up paddleboards that you are welcome to use at nearby lakes. The SUPs are well used and are foam/fiberglass, so you'll need a means of transporting them.
Guest Access:
Full house.
The Neighborhood:
Endearingly referred to as "Govy" by locals, it's a small but cute ski town with a mix of casual dinning, pubs and outdoor stores. Within town, there's a brewery, mountain biking trails and two ski hills--Skibowl and Summit--as well as the entrance to the historic Timberline Lodge and Ski Resort (T-line for short).
The town has a rich history. It was established as a post on the Oregon Trail. It earned it's name Government Camp when the U.S Cavalry troops abandoned 45 wagons in an effort to get through the difficult pass along the Barlow Road when an early winter hit in 1849. It housed many builders and artisans during the Great Depression when the lodge was built as one of FDR's New Deal projects. In the 1940's, it was home to the Skiway, a suspension cable tram featuring a self-propelled "flying" bus, the longest and largest in the world and the first of its type. And of course, in 1980, Timberline appears in Steven King's The Shining.
One of the most common types of wildlife is the clever Timber Tiger (AKA the chipmunk). No crow in this town, but a raven may come a tapping.
Getting Around:
Government Camp's downtown and Skibowl are a short walk.
Skibowl operates a free shuttle connecting Skibowl East and West villages with stops in Government Camp at Collins Lake Resort, the Ratskeller Building and Mt. Hood Outfitters. The shuttle runs Friday and Saturdays at 8:45 a.m. to 11:15 p.m Sunday and holidays from 8:45 a.m. to 10:15 p.m.
Mt. Hood Express is a public bus operating seven days a week between Sandy and Timberline, with stops at Skibowl West (cabin is at Skibowl EAST), the Best Western, Collins Lake, Chevron, and Timberline Lodge. There are seven Express bus runs every day, and two additional late night buses run during the winter season from December 1 to March 31. One-way fare is $2 and an all-day ticket is $5 (exact change required).
Other Things to Note:
It's a well loved cabin--and is a continued project for our family. Be aware:
The windows have condensation inside the glass caused by snow piled against them.
The oven works but is a blast from the 1960s. It works well, but please don't plan on using the timer. It's quirky and you may not return to a hot meal.
We are currently asking guest using the garage entrance only. The wraparound walkway has loose stones.
We allow dogs upon approval with an additional $50 cleaning fee. We do not allow cats. House is thoroughly cleaned between guests, but still not recommended for those with severe dog or cat allergies.

Entire house is rented to you. We will not be on site, but can be reached by text.
