Could you feel comfortable in a cabin in the woods like this?
This is just one of the rustic early 20th Century cabins that are situated in the forest around Mount Hood. This particular cabin is in the little town of Rhododendron.
Located in the Mt Hood National Forest you are guaranteed that you won’t have a condo built next door. A long term lease comes with the contract when one purchases a Forest Service Cabin.
This particular cabin was built in 1936 and was most likely board and batten construction. It still has the original stone fireplace thought to have been constructed by a local stoneworker George Pinner. Through the years an addition was built to the back which contains the kitchen, bathroom and a bedroom which increases the livability of this vintage cabin. The way that it’s configured now it has a master bedroom and two lofts with beds.
The cabin is positioned above a year ’round creek the sound of which can be heard throughout the cabin. It has a deck, part of which is covered, that allows one to enjoy the view in any weather. It’s accessible in the Winter and is within a short distance to the small town of Rhododendron and the village’s store and restaurants, yet still removed from evidence of the hustle and bustle of the real world.
The cabin is also within a short walk to amazing hiking trails that take you deep within the Mt Hood Wilderness Area. It’s also a short drive “up the hill” on Highway 26 to the ski resorts in the Winter or the high alpine hiking trails on Mount Hood.
In this busy world I’m sure that I could feel comfortable in a cabin in the woods like this.
