Charming Lodge with Forest View

The beautiful log cabin feels like a true escape from the city! The two top floors are wood and were great for a couple of our guests with allergies. It has easy access to trails around Ski Bowl and short walk Govy General grocery store.

Government Camp house

The house was nice and well kept. However, the house only sleeps 10 but was advertised as sleeping 12. The highway noise was very loud so suggest using ear plugs.

Nice house but a bit run down

We loved the house and the location but we left feedback for Vacasa about cleanliness and condition. The house desperately needs some things to be replaced... all bedding (pillows/quilts/sheets), pots/pans, etc. Also, the cleaners seemed to have forgotten to clean the kitchen and main living area before we got there. It wasn't clean... quite a bit of dog hair on rugs, coffee left in the pot, fridge had crumbs, etc. We booked this place a year ago... but since then the hot tub has broken. I imagine they have removed the hot tub from the listing now but I would strongly encourage the owners to fix it... It would've added a lot to our experience there. Overall, the photos are a bit misleading on this rental.

great ambience and comfort

What a beautiful, solidly built, comfortable cabin. We rented it before and after a family backpacking trip on the Timberline trail. Very clean, well equipped kitchen, also looks like a great place for ski bums to hang out during ski season.

Summer Skiing

Great house for a fun family ski trip! Close to town. Close to hills. House is easy walking distance to restaurants and stores. Couple of minute drive to Mt Hood. During the winters walking distance to closer ski destinations. House is warm and inviting. Plenty of room to spread out with two TV/living rooms. Ski storage and washer/dryer great added bonus. Kitchen is fully stocked. Truly an amazing experience to ski in the summer at Mt Hood!

Really great for families

A really great place, especially for families. The layout is such that two large primary bedrooms are on the top floor, main living on the middle floor and a downstairs bedroom (for the kids!) on the lower level. And bathrooms on all levels. We’d definitely stay there again.

Special birthday trip

We loved the layout. The cleanliness was not good, and there is not a hot tub, even though it was in several pictures and in the virtual tour listed on the site.

Snow Cabin Retreat

Our stay was marvelous at this log cabin. We spent 99% of our weekend at the cabin watching our favorite MLB team on tv and playing board games while it snowed most of the weekend.

Great mini vacation

My family and I stayed 2 nights at the cabin. It was perfect for us. Close to Mt Hood Meadows, night sledding and lovely walks in the woods. A couple of maintenance issues which I’m sure will be resolved for next guest.

Cozy and comfy

This house is just so lovely. Great cozy log cabin vibes. The layout was perfect for the teenagers to stay up late on the ground level while the parents could get some sleep in the beautiful 3rd story bedrooms (with really comfy beds!) Great location right in Govy. We would love to stay here again.

Perfect getaway!

We had a great time here. Check-in process was seamless. The house was very clean and the beds are very comfortable. No issues with appliances. The house was the perfect location for all the things we wanted to do, and it was nice to just walk across the bridge to the store/restaurants. Please know that you WILL hear highway noise, but we knew that from reading other reviews. I don't think the highway noise is easily avoided if you want to stay in Government Camp. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely come back again.

Beautiful cabin!

We had a wonderful stay in June for my 13yo ski camp! The cabin was very close to everything! Clean & well maintained! We stayed with another family & there was plenty of room for everyone! I would definitely love to stay here again!! Only downside was the highway is very close. We just turned on the fans & that drowned out the noise!

Nightmare on Mt Hood

The cabin has so many issues. No heat or hot water on our arrival, garbage cans full of trash scattered across yard, dishwasher not cleaning dishes so everything in the cupboard was dirty and the condition of the cooking pans were horrible, dust and cobwebs all over the house…. I could go on…the one positive thing I can say about this cabin was the help from the management

Great Location

This home has a great location in Government camp. Overall the home could use a little upgrading of the pots and pans and linens. Other than that it was comfortable. Plenty of hot water for showers and everything else worked well.

Beautiful log house. Good location

Great house. But… Very dirty unusable hot tub. Cloudy green water with a big wad of chewing gum floating around. Empty plastic bottle on the bottom and disgusting hair clump floating around. We should get our hot tub fee back.

Very warm, great fireplace, spacious for the sq footage. Kitchen pretty nice. Could use some saucepans. Bring your own firewood. Hot tub was broken, but that seems normal with previous reviews. Good value for the rental fee.
