About this property

Unplug! Tranquil, Private, Pet-Friendly Rustic Cabin in the Woods

Private, Tranquil, Rustic Cabin 20 minutes from the charming, historic town of Baker City, nestled in the foothills of the Elkhorn Mountains, 30 minutes to Anthony Lakes Ski Resort. This cozy space takes you back to the basics. Unplug and enjoy the beauty of nature and simplicity of living in the woods!

There is no pet fee or cleaning fee. Guests are to clean up after themselves and their pets (leave it as you found it). The cabin is aired out between guests, surfaces are disinfected and fresh towels and linens replace those used.

Ready for a bit of adventure? There is outgoing plumbing only (no running water). Bucket your washing and flushing water out of the creek off of the back deck (runs most of the year). Bottled drinking and cooking water are also provided.

Winter: December-March you will need 4 wheel drive to access the cabin as the road can be quite icy and is a bit of a climb.

Pets are welcome but please notify host. Sleeps 4 (1 double bed, 1 futon, 1 sleeper couch), pricing is for 2 guests.

No internet, TV service or Freezer (small refrigerator).

The space:
The Enchanting A-Frame is private outside of 2 neighboring cabins, one may be visited with dogs and the other is a full-year resident with sweet "Tess" a
friendly young rottweiler may come around for a visit and let herself in if the door is not latched.

This 900 square foot cabin is rustic, not all conveniences, but very comfortable, like camping but much better, safer, warmer, drier ....

Being an A-Frame, the upstairs bedroom/loft is much warmer than downstairs, especially in the winter. There are fans on both levels to encourage circulation of heat from the propane vent-less heater.

The bathroom is small and tight quarters. Navigating this space can be somewhat of a challenge. The shower is also on the small side and is a camp shower ( with water heated from the stove). The spiral staircase is narrow and steep with a minimal handrail.

A stone fireplace provides additional comfort during the colder and wetter seasons so bring lots of firewood to add to the starter stock provided. (No fires of any kind however during wildfire season, generally July - September.)

Light breakfast foods, coffee, tea and hot chocolate are available for guests to enjoy. The kitchen is stocked with all basics, plates, glasses, utensils, pots and pans.

Guest access:
Guests have use the entire cabin, though there are many drawers and cupboards which store host supplies and linens. The neighboring storage shed is for host use only.

Other things to note:
Just to reiterate, the plumbing inside the cabin is outgoing only. Water must be brought into the cabin from the creek or it will be provided in buckets and large water jugs (if the creek is not running, which it occasionally does not due to retainage for nearby forest fires or use in agriculture in the fall). Hot water is obtained by heating water on the propane range in the kitchen.

Propane is the main source of heat and provides fuel for the cook stove. The use of propane can emit a slight odor at times. The cabin is checked regularly for propane leaks.

The Best Little Getaway
I took my partner here for a late Valentine's Day trip and it didn't disappoint. The a-frame is cute and quirky, but romantic and magical all the same. Everything is better than you're expecting, except for the toilet -- that is as quirky as you're imagining lol. If you're thinking of booking this a-frame, stop thinking and start booking. I already can't wait for our next visit.

About the host

Hosted by Betty Lager

Host profile image
We live just down the road from this special, unique space. We love the mountains and Eastern Oregon which provides us with so many opportunities to enjoy a peaceful, quiet life and a very connected neighborhood. The A-Frame is a unique and special cabin that we have decided to share with others and it has been a major hit on other vacation rental sites.

Why they chose this property

A special find back in 2003, the cabin was built 30 years earlier by a local Industrial Engineer teaching at the high school. It was VERY RUSTIC! But after Tom (local contractor) set to work on it, it developed into a truly magical space!

What makes this property unique

People are really enjoy the opportunity to "unplug" and escape their busy lives. This cabin get-away is not far from Baker City and Singles, Couples and Families enjoy this private, beautiful, peaceful space usually with their beloved pets accompanying them. If your pet(s) live and travel with you we assume they will do well at the cabin. We have very few limitations and do not charge a pet fee.
