Mt Hood Cabin Getaway · Hot Tub · Fast WiFi · Pets Welcome

Tucked away at the end of a quiet forested neighborhood road in the foothills of Mt. Hood, Trail’s End is the place where guests arrive, hear the Sandy River through the trees, and immediately stop worrying about what they forgot to pack. Whether you are here to summit a peak, meet a deadline, or simply reconnect with family, the towering Douglas firs make a good backdrop for all of it.

Adventure at Your Doorstep
You are positioned at the gateway to Mt. Hood’s recreation:
• The River: A short stroll leads you to the bank of the Sandy River.
• The Trails: 1 mile to Wildwood Recreation Area; 9 minutes to the Sandy Ridge Mountain Bike Trails; and surrounded by the expansive Mt. Hood hiking network.
• The Slopes: 15 minutes to Mt. Hood Skibowl; 28 minutes to Timberline and 31 minutes to Mt. Hood Meadows.
• Local Flavor: While it feels secluded, you are only 5 minutes from the Thriftway grocery store and local mountain eateries. Coffee lovers are in luck: Coffee House 26 is less than a mile away, and Fernie’s and Mt. Hood Roasters are just a 6-minute drive.

The Experience: Your Daily Flow
Start your morning with a stroll to the banks of the Sandy River, then drink your coffee on the back porch, listening to the river and forest. Hit a mid-day deadline from your dedicated workspace, be on a mountain trailhead by 2:00 PM, and finish the day with an après-hike soak in the private hot tub. When the sun sets, light the woodstove and settle in for a night of board games or stargazing.

The Layout: Comfort & Privacy
The cabin's footprint offers a balance of togetherness and privacy, well-appointed for a multi-day stay.
• The Kitchen: Fully equipped with good knives, a Keurig, drip coffee pot, burr grinder, ceramic non-stick pans from the Original GreenPan, stainless steel pans and a Ninja blender for everything from pre-hike fuel to full dinners.
• The Loft: A dedicated second living room space featuring cozy nooks, books, and a collection of board games and puzzles.
• Bathroom: There is one full bathroom with a shower on the main floor and a "hobbit-sized" half-bath (toilet and sink) tucked-away in the loft—ideal for nighttime convenience.
• Downstairs Sleeping: Bedroom 1 with a king-size bed
• Upstairs Sleeping: A spacious Bedroom 2 with two Queen beds.
• Outdoor Living: Three covered porches, one includes a private hot tub; a BBQ grill, a large tree swing, and horseshoe pit in the backyard.
• Pup Amenities: We provide a plush dog bed, elevated bowls, and pup-specific towels for those muddy river adventures, along with a leash stake for ease and peace of mind.

The "Work-From-Mountain" Setup
• The signal is strong throughout the cabin, including the back porch for those who want a forest view with their Zoom calls. There is a dedicated workspace in the dining area and minimalist desks in both bedrooms, so whichever bedroom you land in, you will have a place to set your laptop.

Other Things to Note
A Note on Height: To our fellow tall travelers—there is a beam between the living room and kitchen that is 6’4”. Our "hobbit-sized" half-bath in the loft is perfectly functional for most, but taller folks may find its sloped ceiling requires staying seated for the entire show. Two of our family of 4 are 6’4”+ and love the cabin, but they’ve learned to pay a little extra attention to those 2 spots.

Pet Safety & The Backyard: Please be aware that our private backyard is not fenced and blends into the surrounding forest. For their safety and to respect local wildlife and neighbors, pets must be leashed while outside. We provide a convenient leash stake in the yard for your use.

Privacy & Neighbors: While the cabin feels secluded, we are part of a friendly mountain community. You may occasionally see a neighbor using a designated path at the edge of the property to access the hill—they are very respectful of guest privacy, but we like to mention it so you aren't startled.

Why does this listing look new? Trail’s End is an established guest favorite on Mt. Hood, but we are expanding to new platforms following a shift in ownership. Our current host has been co-owner and co-host since Trail’s End initially launched in 2022, so while the listing looks new, the high standards and five-star experience remain the same.
