Old Smokey Cabin

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This cozy 1920's Mt. Hood cabin is surrounded by cedar trees and just a short walk from the ZigZag River. The home features a fenced-in backyard for barbecues and playing with your canine companions, all the modern amenities you need back inside, and a great location for exploring the great outdoors.

The surrounding wooded neighborhood is perfect for exploring, as are the nearby banks of the river. Wintertime visitors can explore Skibowl, Timberline, and Mt. Hood Meadows for skiing and snowboarding, less than a half-hour from the front door. You're also moments from hiking trails and secluded spots for fishing.

Rustic and cold
The cabin is in a nice location close to the river. It is rustic in every sense with wood paneling and uneven floors. Other reviews talk about how cold it is and we should have listened. It took a good 24 hours for the place to warm up. It never got warm enough not to wear a sweatshirt. They do not have wood for the fireplace. You can buy it at the Thriftway that is close by. It cost us an extra 75 dollars for wood to help heat the place. If renting this cabin in the winter bring wood with you to save money and be ready for a rustic adventure

Relaxing and Peaceful but cold
We were pleased with the cabin but we could not figure out how to turn on the gas stove in the living room. The space heater were not adequate. Other than that we had a good time together.

Spider Infestation Led to Early Departure
We were informed we couldn’t check in on time one-hour prior to check in. Property was infested with spiders with cobwebs in every corner and windowsill. We left 2 1/2 days early and haven’t heard back from management about a refund. A horrible experience that ruined our family holiday. Both kids have spider bites that are swollen the size of a golf ball and painful. Undoubtedly the worst experience we’ve had.

Classic cabin, quite small, very old, nice location, easy checkout
We stayed here for a wedding with some other guests. It was smaller than expected but worked out fine. The two bedrooms downstairs are VERY small. Mattresses aren't great. The stairs are steep and very creaky. One of the guests had very slight mobility issues and said "I hate these stairs, man". With 4 adults, the thin walls were very apparent. The living room furniture is pretty old, and windows are difficult to open and don't have screens. I tried to open the one in the bedroom and stopped because I was afraid I would break it. Some of the house is in disrepair, but just cosmetic things. On the positive side, the location is nice. It's in a neighborhood of cabins like is typical of the area. The creek is very close and easy to get to, and there is a nice path that goes along it. A bar with BBQ and live music is walking distance. Just a 10 minute drive up to ski bowl and government camp. The kitchen is a good size and well stocked. We really appreciated the ease of check out. Just had to start the dishwasher, but nothing else was asked of us. Check out was at 10am, which is a little early, but I get it. Plenty of linens and towels. Overall, the cabin had the nice rustic feel I look for when I stay in the area. We didn't spend a ton of time there since we were at a wedding. It was a good place to crash. If I was looking for a place to get cozy and relax on snowy days, I would probably pick someplace a little more comfortable.

Great Stay!!
Great location near Mirror Lake (& Tom Dick and Harry) and Ramona Falls trails. Full size grocery store minutes away makes it easy to cook in the VERY well stocked kitchen. Right off the Mt Hood Hwy yet in a very quiet and peaceful setting.

Home was great, but chilly
Hey there. The home was sweet and cabiny, which is just what we wanted. But it reeked of cigarettes. There were butts all over the front porch when we arrived. Handyperson Kristopher was very helpful, he was there fixing the shower when we arrived and he took the garbage away which was piled up behind the house. All the heaters worked but it took 24hrs to heat the building up we saw our breath inside the whole first night. Besides that we loved it. Though the wifi never worked. We disconnected it many times but it always said "connected, no internet". We checked out at 9:45 but with no wifi, I couldn't respond to the check-out email until 1 PM. Thanks!
