Government Camp Blockhütte | Zu Fuß zu Stadt & Skibowl

Government Camp Log Cabin | Walk to Town, Minutes to Skibowl

This multi-level log cabin sits in Government Camp, Oregon, at the base of Mt. Hood. Walk to the village shops and restaurants, reach Mt. Hood Skibowl in minutes, and drive to Timberline Lodge and Mt. Hood Meadows for more terrain. The cabin has 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and sleeps up to 6. Guests must be 21 or older to book. Access note: the hill up to the cabin is steep and can be slippery in winter, so bring a snow-ready vehicle if you are visiting during snow season.

The Home

The pellet stove is available for guests to use, and it is where everyone ends up after a day on the mountain. There are two separate family rooms, so one group can watch a movie downstairs while another reads or plays cards elsewhere. A mini ping pong table gives the group something to compete over between ski days and bike rides. WiFi is included.

The kitchen is well equipped for real cooking. Coffee, tea, a grinder, spices, and cooking oils are already stocked, so you can skip the first grocery run. A washer and dryer are on site, which helps on longer stays and when ski gear needs to dry out.

Sleeping Arrangements

The cabin has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, with a maximum occupancy of 6 guests. The bedrooms are spread across the main, lower, and upper levels, so stairs are part of every stay.

- Bedroom 1 (main floor): Queen bed
- Bedroom 2 (lower level): Queen bed
- Bedroom 3 (upper level): King bed
- Main floor: Full sofa bed
- Lower level: Full sofa bed
- Also in the cabin: a toddler bed and a loft sleeping area with no door

The loft has no door, so it works best for kids, teens, or travelers who do not need privacy at night.

The Location

- Government Camp village shops and restaurants: walkable
- Mt. Hood Skibowl: minutes away
- Timberline Lodge: short drive up the mountain
- Mt. Hood Meadows: short drive
- Mirror Lake trailhead and Mt. Hood National Forest trails: close by
- Timothy Lake and Clear Lake: summer swimming, kayaking, and fishing
- Portland: approximately one hour

In summer, the same mountain becomes a destination for mountain biking and hiking.

A Few Things to Know

You have the entire cabin to yourself. Guests must be 21 or older. One pet is welcome for a fee. The hill up to the cabin is steep and can be slippery in winter, so a snow-ready vehicle is needed. Two parking spaces are available outside the cabin.

Who This Cabin Is For

Families and couples traveling together who want to ski Skibowl, Timberline, and Mt. Hood Meadows, or bike and hike in summer, and who want to walk to dinner in Government Camp afterward. It is less suited to guests who cannot manage stairs or drive a steep hill in winter conditions.
