About This Home

A truly one-of-a-kind Mt. Hood cabin nestled on the banks of the Zig Zag River in Rhododendron, offering beautiful, unobstructed river views. Surrounded by towering trees, this fully furnished retreat provides a peaceful escape along the Mt. Hood corridor with easy access to year-round recreation. The location is uniquely positioned with quick and convenient access to Highway 26, yet offers a quiet, serene setting where no highway noise can be heard—creating a true sense of being on the doorstep of wilderness, with groceries, dining, & outdoor adventure just minutes away. The main level features a cozy, open-concept living and dining area with wood ceilings, handcrafted built-ins, a custom mantle, & a stone wood-burning fireplace. Large windows frame serene views of the river and surrounding forest, filling the space with natural light. The dining area centers around a large handmade wood table, perfect for shared meals and gatherings. The kitchen complements the cabin’s character with brick floors, custom rustic cabinetry, & a vintage-style range. Also on the main level is a full bathroom with a live-edge wood vanity, custom clay sink, & updated tile shower. Upstairs, vaulted wood-beamed ceilings highlight the dorm-style sleeping quarters overlooking the river, tastefully furnished with two king beds & one queen bed, a closet, and a half bath. A private balcony offers peaceful river views above the water. Outdoor living includes a spacious deck perched above the river and an attached storage shed for bikes, skis, firewood, & gear. Set on approximately 0.36 acres, the property offers room to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Located approximately 7 miles from the Sandy Ridge Trail System, 17 miles from Timberline Lodge, and 22 miles from Mt. Hood Meadows. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, this unique riverfront cabin presents an excellent opportunity for full-time living, a personal getaway, or an investment property.
