Unique Mt. Hood Lodging |
If you're seeking a magical alpine escape, you've come to the right place. The village of Government Camp is a fantastic option for anyone wanting to stay in the heart of the action on the mountain. However, there are plenty of other lodging options nearby for those craving a more tranquil experience on their Oregon vacation. The picturesque communities of Mt. Hood offer a number of places to rest and recharge: Take your pick from a variety of rustic cabin retreats, quirky vacation rentals and inviting resorts, all a stone's throw from the year-round playground that is Mt. Hood. For an experience a bit further from the mountain but still near the Mt. Hood National Forest, head about 30 minutes west to Estacada, where you'll find natural beauty and outdoor adventure along the Wild and Scenic Clackamas River. No matter which one you pick, each community promises its own unique charm.

With its clean lines and minimalist design, this retreat is the ideal place to escape everyday life. Enjoy easy access to dining options and the Sandy River, just a five-minute walk away.

Options include a spacious retreat for up to eight guests (with a hot tub and fire pit!), or a cozy studio perfect for couples. Larger group? Book both and get access to foos ball and ping pong. Don’t miss your chance to meet the farm’s furry residents on a guided tour.
