Welcome to my Mt Hood Townhouse.

3 bedroom townhouse in Collins Lake Resort, with shared heated pool and 2 hottubs. Just a 5 minute walk to the heart of Government Camp. Heated tandem garage on entry level. Kitchen, dining room, living room with gas fireplace, and half bath on 1st level. Master bedroom with queen bed and full bath, 2nd bedroom with queen bed, 3rd bedroom with bunk beds, and shared full bath. WiFi, cable TV, BBQ, well-equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, snowshoes, and sleds.

Covid Update: The heated pool and two hot-tubs are open again! The hottubs are limited to one household at a time. Masks should be worn when not in the pool or hottubs. All cleaning is done by my roommate or myself, rather than a cleaning crew. We are both fully vaccinated. Between guests, we run the furnace in fan-mode with a MERV 12 air filter that is changed every two months. We also run a portable air purifier with HEPA/charcoal/UV filtration.

More Details:
Just a 5 minute walk to the heart of Government Camp! Although only an hour from Portland, its 4000 feet elevation makes it seem a world away: a gateway to all that Mt. Hood has to offer. In winter, downhill skiing, sledding, tubing, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, or just sitting by the fire in a winter-wonderland. In summer, some of the best hiking in the country, including the Pacific Crest Trail. Our favorite, Mirror Lake and the peak of Tom, Dick and Harry, whose trail-head is just a mile down Highway 26.

Of course, what is a vacation without relaxing in a hottub! Collins Lake Resort features the Creekside Lodge with free wi-fi, sauna, pool (88F), hot-tub (105F), and a mini pool set in the woods (101F). There are also trails through the 28 acres.

The townhouse is an end-unit, with extra windows to let the sunshine in. It is on 3 levels, so there are some stairs to navigate. First floor has a 2 car tandem garage and laundry (wash/dryer). Second floor has the kitchen, dining area, living room, a halfbath, and a balcony with a BBQ. Third floor has the master bedroom with a queen-sized bed and private bathroom, 2nd bedroom with a queen-sized bed and views of Mt. Hood. Since this is an end-unit, it has a 3rd enclosed room with a window, that has a twin-size bunk-bed. There is a second full bathroom on the 2nd floor.

Some might call this a chef's kitchen. We certainly make sure that the kitchen is well stocked,. It has a gas stove, full-size fridge with ice-maker, microwave, and dishwasher. There's also a toaster, a blender, a coffee grinder, and a great selection of pots and pans. We even stock some common spices, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, creamer, tea and coffee.

The balcony and master bedroom face SkiBowl. They also overlook highway 26, but with the door/window closed, you can barely hear the cars.

The unit comfortably sleeps 4 adults and 2 children, in the 2 queen and 2 twin beds. There is a sofa bed in the living room that can sleep two additional guests. If there are more than 6 guests, there is a $10 per person per night surcharge.

We also stock 2 pairs of snowshoes, and several children's sleds. There is a flat screen TV, DVD player, WiFi, cable, a selection of movies and books.

No pets are allowed. Smoking is not allowed in the unit. No parties.

The Mt. Hood Express bus goes from Sandy to Timberline Lodge, with stops in between, including at Collins Lake.
