Heart of village! Knotty pine cabin. Perfect for 2 people!

The Half Pint Lodge is a small studio cabin in the heart of the village. It is within walking distance to all the local restaurants and businesses. It is complete with a wood burning woodstove placed in a stone fireplace, perfect for cozy winter stays.

The roads to the cabin and parking at the cabin are plowed during winter. There is parking for one car on site.

Access to the trails along the north side of Government Camp are accessed at the upper end of Blossom Trail road and lead to a large network of hiking/cross country skiing/snowshoeing trails. Trails to south side of the village can be access by walking over the Multorpor bridge. These trails give easy access all the way to Trillium Lake and beyond.

Village shops and restaurants are only a two minute walk away, ideal for be able to leave the car at the cabin when doing culinary and retail exploring.

The cabin is stocked with board games and videos. The Govy General Store (200' away) rents DVD's and sells items to make your trip even more enjoyable.

While at the cabin don't forget to check out the Mt. Hood Museum and Cultural Center.

IMPORTANT - Shortly after booking our cabin we will request payment for County Room Tax which VRBO is currently unable to capture at booking. These taxes are 6.85% of the amount you pay to VRBO. This situation is unwelcome for everyone, so we hope VRBO will update their software soon! All owners using VRBO for lodging on Mt. Hood are in the same situation. They used to collect this tax but tell us now their software is unable to do it. VRBO has told me they are working on a solution.

Great location in Govy

I spent two nights here for a ski camp. It's a great location—we could walk to the Huckleberry Inn! And the house looks just like a gingerbread house all lit up at night! I definitely recommend it.

Snowy Weekend Away

Cozy little cabin close to Government Camp— lots of firewood, wood stove will heat you out of that house- only downside is if you like hot showers the hot water doesn’t last that long:( Not sure where the water heater is but it must be small-on the flip side it didn’t take long to recuperate for the next person! Would definitely stay here age!

Adorable

This adorable cabin is on the hill just above town. After skiing and hiking all day, we enjoyed walking down the hill into town in the evenings. Accommodations are simple, but everything you need. Blane was incredible. He answered his messages quickly and was genuinely eager to help when we asked. Thanks for a wonderful spring ski trip!

Perfect and cozy getaway

We couldn’t be happier about our stay at Half Pint Lodge. The lodge itself is perfectly cozy and had all the amenities we could need. It felt remote, but was within walking distance of everything in Government Camp. And the owner is very responsive, friendly, and helpful. It was the perfect anniversary getaway.

Great stay!

Our stay in government camp was great at this cabin! Very close to mount hood hikes and activities as well as only an hourish drive from portland! Blane was very responsive to our questions and the cabin was well kept and perfect for the 2 of us staying. The bed was exceptionally comfy. Also, the surrounding town is very cute with several options of places to eat and a general store that had everything you could need!

One of my most memorable trips to the mountain.

This cabin was absolutely perfect. It was cozy, well taken care of and in the perfect location. The communication from the management company was exceptional. There happened to be a rare Spring storm, which delivered a couple feet of snow during our stay. The road and walkway to the cabin were plowed before and during our stay. The cabin delivered the Mountain feel that I was searching for and I will definitely be back.

lovely cabin; perfect location

this little studio cabin was perfect for my needs and so cozy especially with a fire going and snow over halfway up the windows outside! and yes, it's small, just as advertised. the bed was comfortable, plenty of linens, stocked with enough firewood for a few days, everything was very clean and in working order. the best part was the location - i could put on my ski touring gear and just skin up less than 1/4 of a mile directly to the trailhead, or a little further and i was at the trails leading out of Summit. grocery store and restaurants less than two blocks away. very easy access to all the ski resorts (only about a 15 minute drive to meadows.) would absolutely stay again.

Adorable cabin in great location near skiing and local restaurants

The main purpose of our stay was to have a ski weekend getaway. This cabin is less than 15 minutes from timberline resort, so what is the perfect homebase for skiing. The location was also great because it’s right in downtown government camp. This means there’s quite a few restaurants and shops within walking distance, which was nice to enjoy after a long day on the slopes. There were two things that would have made this stay even more seamless and relaxing: 1. Including kindling or fire starter in the cabin for the woodstove. There were wood logs for the fire, but no kindling. There was a small sign that said you could buy kindling at the general store. By the time we realized that it was late at night and going to the general store wasn’t an option. if you’re going to offer a wood stove and logs, including the five dollars worth of kindling would help guests. 2. The cleaning instructions for check out were quite extensive compared to any rentalI’ve stayed at. For example, they ask you to wipe down stove knobs, clean the inside of the microwave, and to dry and put away all dishes. This really turned us off to doing any cooking in the rental out of concern we wouldn’t get our deposit back, so we avoided eating in the rental at all. All in all, those are two very minor things that would help make this even better for the future. But the cabin was, adorable, comfortable, and very cozy.
