Whether visiting in winter for a large family ski-cation or escaping to the woods for a little midsummer rest and relaxation, you'll love this three-bedroom charmer in Government Camp bordering the Mt. Hood National Forest.

This property is close to creeks and lakes for fishing, hiking & biking trails and skiing. It has a private hot tub for ultimate relaxation and is a walkable distance to all businesses in Government Camp. This warm and welcoming home is located just 50 miles from downtown Portland on the western edge of Government Camp. Enjoy convenient backyard access to the National Forest steps away from great hiking, biking and snowshoeing via, Maggie's Trail (#753), Skiway (#758) & Cross-Town (#758) for hiking, mountain biking, and snowshoeing. Skiers and Mt. Bikers will appreciate the convenience of the Mt Hood Express Shuttle that stops 25 yards from your front door and will take you to Timberline. Avoid the mountain traffic and leave the driving to the professionals. You can connect via The Glade Trail at Timberline to bike home in the summer and expert skiers familiar with the trail system can ski home from Timberline to stretch out those epic ski days.

Mt. Hood is a paradise for recreation year-round and this home is your perfect basecamp for whichever form of adventure you choose! When you return from your day, soak your muscles in the hot tub and enjoy the layout of the home which offers separated spaces to allow for kids movie watching on the ground floor with a large DVD library to choose from, or games on the large dining table on the primary. Sneak up to the loft with a book or challenge one another to friendly games of foosball. The wood stove heats the house to cozy levels and provides an excellent ambiance year-round. Whether you are seeking recreation or relaxation, this home is ideal for a mountain getaway with the whole family or a few couples traveling together. You won’t be disappointed when choosing this beautiful and unique Government Camp home for your next vacation on Mt. Hood.

Would have been perfect if the owner would pay for snow removal!
This is the only ski cabin I've ever rented where it was obvious that no one had made any effort to clear a path to the house in a very long time. Not only was the driveway buried, but so were the lower windows you see in this photo. The external stairs were inaccessible, and it was a slippery course to the hot tub on the 2nd story deck. Makeshift "steps" were trudged into the snow along the steep driveway, which make for perilous car unpacking and child transporting. The caretaker who was departing the house as we were leaving basically told us to "get a run at" the driveway and chock some wood under the tires to prevent backsliding. Meanwhile, bare driveways were to be seen next door and across the street -- it can be done! The interior was great. The ground level has a big TV and "rumpus room" vibe, and the bunk room and one bathroom was also on that level. The main living space was one level up, with a well appointed kitchen and a cozy wood stove + seating area. Another bathroom and queen bedroom was on this level. The third level contained a loft space with a queen bed (no door to that bedroom) and another reading/living space with a foosball table. Plenty of room for our 2 families and four young kids! There were lots of board games and books for entertainment. There were plenty of dishes and a nice big fridge. Another helpful hint: It would be nice if there were a label on one of the wall switches to identify the furnace control. It took us a day to figure out how to keep the cabin warm after the fire went out! Also, some instructions on figuring out the TV + fire stick would have saved us some frustrations.

Great cabin in the woods but still walkable to town. Can't wait to re-visit in the Winter to go skiing. Highly recommended place to stay.

Wonderful getaway
The house has everything you would want in a getaway. Privacy, comfortable beds, plenty of extra pillows and blankets, a well stocked kitchen (couldn’t find any salt and pepper shakers though), lots of space to spread out, an amazing hot tub, and a beautiful setting. Can’t wait to stay again!

Great location and extremely comfortable!
We had a wonderful stay! The only trouble I had was the code didn’t work on the lockbox. It wasn’t an issue since I could use the code on the downstairs door and get in. We would definitely stay again!!

Comfy Oasis in the Woods
Wow, such a short drive from the city, yet you can completely (and comfortably!) immerse yourself into the scenic Mt. Hood national forest at Swiss Haus. This home has been carefully decorated with all sorts of rustic accents that make this home feel special. Furnishings were like-new and spotlessly clean. Ample space was available for six adults to spend a weekend together without bumping elbows. It was great to have snowshoeing/hiking trails right out the front door... as well as Mt. Hood Brewing down the street for happy hour drinks. I'd gladly come back.

This place is amazing! The house is warm and inviting making you feel right at home, demanding you relax once you step in the door. The house has everything you need right at your fingertips, you just need to bring groceries or take out. The bedrooms are cozy and the beds were very comfortable. There are soft throw blankets on every couch to curl up in with a warm cup of coffee and a good book. Whether your here with the whole family or just for a solo getaway Swiss Haus is where you want to stay! I’m already planning my next trip up here :)

Government Camp Getaway
The house was great, and the weather cooperated perfectly. We did need to unload the dishwasher when we arrived, but I am sure it was just an oversight from the cleaning crew. Overall everything was great!

Great little place in the mountains
We stayed here for a few days during the winter. There are six of us, and it felt both cozy and roomy at the same time. The home has a well stocked kitchen, with plenty of dinnerware and like-new appliances. Our kids really enjoyed the foosball table and being able to watch their favorite Netflix shows on the huge TV.

The Swiss Haus at Govenment Camp
We had a great family getaway, with our children and grandchildren. With three floors there was room for everyone. The TV in the lower level was a great place for the little ones to watch movies and play video games. The main level had a wood burning stove and large windows providing a beautiful view of the snow. The rooms were tastefully decorated and very comfortable. I would highly recommend the Swiss Haus as a great place to stay.
