Authentic Vintage Cabin • Woodstove • Romantic Getaway for Two
Escape to an original 1920s Mount Hood cabin with firelight, handcrafted charm, and the perfect cozy setting for romantic getaways.
If you’re searching for an authentic cabin—one with history, charm, and handmade details—Cedarwood Cabin awaits. Hand-built in 1922 and lovingly restored, this is real Mount Hood heritage, ready to transport you back in time for quiet evenings of connection.
At the heart of the cabin is a beautiful enamel woodstove. Light a fire, settle into the cozy couch, and let the evening unfold with books, board games, vintage records, warm blankets, and the soft glow of vintage lighting.
Sleeping & Layout
Cedarwood is a classic one-room cabin, ideal for couples. The double bed sleeps two, and the futon couch folds down for an additional sleeping spot.
Kitchenette
The kitchen is simple but well-equipped with essentials: a plug-in hot plate, griddle, microwave, coffee grinder, French press, and a full assortment of dishes, utensils, and cookware. There is no oven. Prefer a night out? Restaurants and brewpubs in Welches are just minutes away.
Bathroom
The bathroom is only a step outside the back door (with covered entry). Inside, it’s fully remodeled with a subway-tile shower, sink, toilet, cedar shelves, and a twist-timer heater for comfort during chilly mornings or evenings.
For Guests Accustomed to Modern Homes
You can absolutely fall in love with Cedarwood’s charm—but please know this is a true cabin, rustic and simple by design. You won’t find a TV or modern luxury finishes. You will find history, character, and handmade, old-world craftsmanship.
What You’ll Love
• No TV—just books on hiking, wildflowers, and Mount Hood history • Soft blankets, handmade pillows, and a snug couch for reading or cuddling • The peaceful patter of rain on the roof
The Setting
Cedarwood sits on a small loop road of cabins and homes—quiet, safe, and neighborly. You may see someone walking a dog, but privacy is well respected. From inside, your view is filled entirely with trees.
Conveniently located just off Highway 26: • <5 miles to Welches • 5–10 miles to popular trailheads • 15–30 miles to ski areas • Easy year-round access; no 4WD required Guest access The entire cabin and property is available to guests, including the outdoor river-rock firepit (excluding burn-ban season) Other things to note RUSTIC BY DESIGN Please know that this is a true cabin experience. It is not a modern house with some decorating touches to evoke the "style" of a mountain cabin—it is an ACTUAL CABIN. Think of it more like “glamping.” The bathroom is a step outside (though covered). For some, this may be their first experience with rustic and feel like they are truly "roughing it." For those who love to stay in places like yurts, lookout towers, wall tents, tiny houses, and tree houses, Cedarwood Cabin will feel like magic!
PRIVACY Located in a small loop road with about a dozen or so other cabins and homes, you can see neighbors from the property. (So while it is indeed a getaway from the city, please do not expect to be deep in the wilderness.) However, from the inside, you’ll feel transported. The views from the windows are filled with trees, and the Pendleton wool curtains can be drawn to make your cabin experience all you own.
This is a classic 1-room cabin. The floor plan is open. Dividing the space between bedroom, kitchen, and living room is a plank wall, and curtain. Ideal for couples. But please note the minimal privacy for more than a solo traveler or couple.

Beautifully maintained cabin in a fantastic location. Excellent communications from the host and a very seamless check-in process. If you’re looking for a cozy home base for Mt. Hood adventures, this is it
This is my second time staying at Cedarwood Cabin and just like the first time, this stay was everything I could ask for. Truly the perfect cozy cabin experience with great proximity to lots of outdoor fun. Ian, the host, is kind, attentive, and clearly cares so much about both the cabin and the guest’s experience of it. I am already looking forward to future return trips.
A beautiful cozy cabin in the woods. It’s very quiet and peaceful; the perfect place to unplug and just be one with nature! We will definitely be returning!
Incredible getaway, the cabin was gorgeous. We couldn't use the fireplace since there was a burn ban in effect but it was still incredibly cozy. Everything about our stay was smooth, lots of great info provided by the host. Located near some beautiful hiking trails and close enough to visit Portland too.
The Cedarwood Cabin was magical! Rustic, unplugged, and quaint. The wood fire stove was a perfect touch … allowing us to enjoy roasted hotdogs and making s’mores. Even having the bathroom connected but available by going outside was reminiscent of a family cabin decades past. The historic Cedarwood Cabin is definitely everything we needed … and only sad our time had come to an end so soon
This was our second time staying at the cedarwood cabin and it was just as charming and cozy as last time. Being able to get out of Portland and spend time here was invaluable. Definitely will be coming back!
Great cabin to unplug and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Oregon!
We had a great time staying here for a couple of days! It’s in a really quaint forest community and really sets a great vibe for a trip to the Oregon wilderness.
My 12-year-old daughter and I had the best mommy-daughter trip at Cedarwood Cabin! It was cozy, peaceful, and had everything we needed. We loved playing games, listening to records, and learning about the cabin’s history. The perfect place to disconnect and make special memories together!
Ian is a spectacular host! The cabin is rustic and cozy and well equipped. Has a lovely history that you can read about when you are there. Loved our mornings on the front porch sipping coffee! Many wonderful hikes in the area-from easy to challenging. Hope to return to this charmer!
Ian’s cabin was an excellent place to stay near Mount Hood! The cabin was a perfect and peaceful place with everything we needed. Ian also had several recommendations for hikes and restaurants in his guest book that were perfect to go check out. Highly recommend but will note for those that may not notice in the listing there is no WiFi and very little to no cell signal.
Beautifully restored, quaint, homey feel, SOOOO relaxing! Loved this stay, perfect place to recharge 😊. Will stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Ian McCluskey
Hello, My name is Ian, and I am honored to share Cedarwood cabin with you. I am a 7th generation Oregonian. My ancestors came over the Oregon Trail, which passes very close to Cedarwood Cabin. I grew up hiking, skiing, and camping on Mt Hood. In high school, I volunteered with the Mt Hood National Forest, and lived in a cabin built by the CCC during the Great Depression and gave tours of Timberline Lodge. That experience created the dream to one day restore a historic Mt Hood cabin. 30 years later, I finally realized that dream.
Why they chose this property
The first time I saw Cedarwood it captured my heart. It was weathered grey. A simple cabin, much like the ones I slept in at summer camp on the Oregon Coast. It wasn't for sale when I first saw it, but I kept it in my mind. After a year of looking for the perfect cabin, it happened to come up for sale. I immediate made an offer and wrote a heartfelt letter. Luckily, it reached the grandson of the original builder, who loved the cabin dearly. He recognized that I was the perfect person to be the next steward of Cedarwood.
What makes this property unique
Stepping into Cedarwood makes me immediately take a deep breath. It has that smell of wood and woodsmoke and home-cooked meals, mixed with the scent of the forest--trees and moss and ferns. They say a violin's sound improves the more it is played. A violin is essentially a finely-crafted wooden box; Cedarwood is essentially the same thing, of a larger scale. All the laughter, stories, and conversations around the fire have made it sweeter.
