Elk Park Retreat - A Comfy & Stylish Mt. Hood Cabin - Hot Tub, Dogs OK

Elk Park Retreat is a modern family-friendly cabin in Welches with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.

Located only a short one-hour drive from Portland in the mountain community of Welches, Elk Park Retreat is a world away. The property is conveniently located less than 2 miles from the grocery store and multiple restaurants and shops. It is the perfect base for exploring the hiking, biking, snow sports, golfing, fishing and other outdoor activities Mt. Hood offers. Comfortably accommodates 6 guests.

The 1200 sqft cabin has been freshly remodeled with all new kitchen and bathrooms and designer touches throughout. Stylish, comfortable furnishings provide a relaxing vibe to spend time with your friends and family.

Enjoy preparing meals in the fully-equipped kitchen with gleaming quartz counters, new appliances, and a deep basin sink. This kitchen has everything you need: pots and pans, coffee maker, toaster, dishes for grown-ups and kids, cutting boards and utensils. Have a seat at the peninsula with 3 bar stools or gather at the dining room table.

In the open floor plan living room, lounge on the luxe sectional sofa or the swivel chair. You will also find two cozy poufs for extra seating that are also perfect for sitting in front of the wood burning stove. Enjoy a movie on the 55” Roku TV with Sonos soundbar; the Roku guest mode will let you use your favorite streaming services. There is a cabinet stocked with books, games and puzzles for your leisure time.

After a day of adventuring, unwind in the new hot tub. The spa accommodates 6 guests and is maintained at a comfortable 102 degrees, with an easy to open and close cover. Spa towels are provided. We recommend sandals or other shoes to walk to the hot tub.

The elegant primary suite offers a king size Nectar Premier Hybrid bed, a large vintage MCM dresser, and a closet for stowing your items. Freshen up in the en-suite bathroom, which has a low curb walk-in shower with custom tile and a luxurious rain shower head.
