Guys Hiking and Kayaking Trip
This cabin is perfectly located for a Mt Hood weekend. We were a short drive away from awesome hikes and from kayaking. There was plenty of space for us to sleep and relax. The only downside was there was no water pressure in the kitchen and the dishwasher would only work intermittently so it made cleaning up the cabin before we left a pain.

Like camping, but with the comforts of home
This is a great place to have the fun parts of camping, but with a kitchen and real beds to sleep on. The kids played in the creek -- it's shallow with lots of rocks, and had just enough room on the shore for mom & dad to bring chairs down for supervision and enjoying the beauty of the setting. The fire pit area was great, and we appreciated that firewood was provided. We enjoyed using the grill. There were lots of bedrooms and we were all comfortable. We enjoyed nearby hikes and fishing at a trout farm. A note to parents of babies/toddlers, though -- the back of the property is very steep down to the creek, and at the top if your small child went under the railing they could fall. We had to keep the toddler at arm's length when outdoors.

big rustic and weird
This is like staying at an aging relative's home. Perfectly adequate but no frills. Pros: Beds for 14 (3 doubles, 8 singles). Kitchen has tons of dishes, full set of pots/pans, knives, etc. plus many slow cookers and instapots. Plus a lots of condiments/spices others have left behind. Clean. I did not suffer from dust or smoke allergies despite carpets and wood fire stove. Beautiful outdoor area we did not use because it was February. Cons: This cabin has been added on several times and is weird. For instance, 2 of the full bathrooms are attached to each other, so you have to walk through one to get to the other. There's a padlock holding closed a faux wall in one bathroom. No washer/dryer. Appliances, heating and plumbing old and finicky. Shower door, cabinet doors on their last legs. WiFi has very narrow band width.
