This unique and cozy Government Camp vacation rental is the perfect place to stay while enjoying the snowy winters and pristine summers of the Mt. Hood region. The yard is great for picnics and basketball games in the summer and snowball fights and sledding in the winter.

Located right in the middle of Government Camp and just a few hundred feet from the Summit Ski Area, this home is in a beautiful spot for snow sports lovers. Timberline Lodge and its surrounding slopes are a quick drive up the mountain, and Mt. Hood Meadows is just over 10 miles away. In the summer, when most of the snow has melted on the mountain, there are still many activities to keep busy. Miles of hiking and biking trails crisscross the forested wilderness, offering some of the best views of the region. Nearby lakes such as Timothy Lake, 20 miles south, and Clear Lake,10 miles south, provide fabulous opportunities for swimming, boating, fishing, and picnicking. If you crave the amenities of a larger town, drive on the beautiful, tree-lined highway west for 30 miles to reach Sandy, which has a variety of restaurants and stores.

This home has a uniquely long shape with a small but efficient floor plan. The lower level contains a dining/sitting room to eat, catch up, or play games. The full kitchen is snug at first glance, but it is well-equipped with everything you'll need to cook delicious meals. Upstairs, there is a second living room with plentiful seating, a cable TV, DVD player, Wii system, stereo, and a selection of DVDs and board games. This home also has WiFi and books to borrow, so you'll have no trouble finding ways to keep entertained! The top floor also has a washer/dryer, so you won't have to worry about getting your clothes wet or dirty while exploring the area. The bedroom has a balcony.

While experiencing everything this enchanting, adventure-filled area offers, stay at this comfortable and homey Mt. Hood vacation rental!

Worked well for what we needed
There were a few kinks here and there that required us to be a bit flexible, but overall, it accomplished what we needed - a warm place to stay with plenty of beds for everyone while we spent a few days out of the snow.

Awesome White Christmas
Our family of 4 had a great time at chalet - it is close to restaurants (like Glacier Public House) and Timberline Summit Pass ski area, it had everything you need in the small kitchen, 2 baths, 2 bedrooms + extra sleeping area upstairs and enough room for the 4 of us to stay all together or split up in the 2 living areas (one upstairs and one downstairs). Would definitely consider going again even in the summer as the house has a large deck and grill.

A basic property, but with everything you need.
My wife and I stayed here for five nights. This, in my opinion, is a basic property, but has everything you need to be comfortable. Good location. A narrow house, kind of like a two-story bowling alley. The first floor has the kitchen, an eating area, a bedroom, and a bath. Upstairs is what one would call a family room with a TV and fold out couches, a bedroom, and a bath. A very small kitchen, well equipped, but with no dishwasher. Good Verizon cell service, and reasonable WiFi speed. The property manager is first class. We had a couple of minor maintenance issue when we checked in. They had them resolved in a day. They would have been taken care of the same day we reported the issues, but we put the repair person off to the next day.

Spring break get away
We stayed with my 2 teens, who were attending spring ski camp at meadows. Location wise it was very convenient to do back forth from Mt. Hood Meadows. Was able to stop by couple of tracking and site seeing spots in between so very convenient. House is very cozy. There is work needed to clean 1st floor wooden floor and upstair bath tub(it was clogging). We enjoyed our 2 night stay.

Best Deal On Mt. Hood!
Great 2 story cabin in excellent location. Has a small sledding hill right next to the house that is perfect for small kids. Someone who has spent a lot of time in the snow set this place up with hooks everywhere to dry your gear off, it’s amazing! It’s packed with dvds, kids movies, has internet, cable, and tons of other things we were surprised to see at a vacation rental. Small kitchen and downstairs but huge upstairs open area where you would spend all your time. The location is excellent, no way you can beat this place for this price. Thank you and would highly recommend!

Nice Mountain Getaway
Cute mountain getaway. Lots of games and toys for children. Smelled like smoke when we got there, but I think this is due to the fires in the area. We aired it out and put fans on and it helped immensely. The stay was great. We did have an issue that the BBQ was broken, the tray below the grill fell out while the BBQ was one and it could have been a huge fire hazard if my husband hadn't been right there. We tried to call the number given in the binder in the house from Vacasa and the number wasn't in service. Other than that the stay was comfortable, the downstairs bed was comfortable as was the upstairs bed. The kids of course didn't mine the foutons. Lots of sleeping space.

Clean and convenient
Our family of 5 stayed here 3 nights while we explored the numerous hiking trails on Mt. Hood. This very clean house is within walking distance to Government Camp's stores and restaurants and only 10 minutes away from Timberline Lodge (FYI free coffee at the lodge if you go early to watch the sunrise!). We celebrated my daughter's 21st birthday with delicious pizza and drinks at the Ratskeller in town. We really enjoyed the museum which is open everyday and is free. We slept in the downstairs bed and let our kids take over the upstairs where there are games, toys, and 2 TVs and an assortment of movies. Our bed was very comfortable. There's an abundance of bedding and towels provided. Yes, the kitchen is tiny but functional. Knowing that ahead of time, I brought premade meals (e.g. chili) and we used the very nice grill on the deck for hot dogs one night. We enjoyed the deck a lot for eating, hanging out, and playing games. Surprisingly, we didn't have to deal with mosquitoes! The neighborhood was mostly quiet and the nearby house empty while we were there. You can easily hear Hwy 26, but that's going to be true of any house in Govt Camp. Overall, the house was a great base camp for our daily excursions and the price was fabulous!

Loved it! It was our second time staying here!
The cabin was quite spacious for the two of us. The bed was comfy and the kitchen was handy for eating in or eating out on the porch. We enjoyed relaxing on the futons and reading when we weren’t out enjoying on the beautiful hiking trails! We loved the cabin in the woods and we will be back!

Surprised and disappointed.
I found out why there were no photos of the kitchen, bedrooms and baths. Did not find Fireplace anywhere. The kitchen wouldn’t fit in a closet it was so small, by-the-way there were no closets. We had to live out of our suitcases. No drawers, and no chest of drawers. No drawers in kitchen either. Silverware was stuffed in jars. There were only 4 of us, I can’t imagine stuffing 10 people in this little cabin. Still looking for Mountain View. To be fare, The internet was awesome. Water was hot, and washer and dryer were excellent. TV worked great, although we are not much for TV. Downstairs bathroom was off of the dining and kitchen area and anyone sleeping in downstairs bedroom had to walk through that area to take a shower. Carpets looked and felt dirty. I would not recommend this little cabin to anyone.
