Historic riverfront Steiner cabin in forest with firepit, deck, & patio lounging

Summary:

Zoe's Log Cabin



The Space:

Experience a gorgeous piece of Mt. Hood history at this handcrafted Brightwood cabin, a historical woodland retreat constructed by master carpenter Henry Steiner in 1939. You'll enjoy two private decks, an outdoor firepit, beautiful views of the surrounding forest, and a wondrous location on the shores of the Sandy River!



One of 30 similar homes constructed by the Steiner family, this charming cabin sits among firs, pines, and cedars on the banks of the Sandy River. Each summer, you'll enjoy easy access to fishing and kayaking on the river, hiking trails in the Wildwood Recreation Site, half a mile south, and 27 holes of golf at the Mt. Hood Oregon Resort, two miles southeast. Come winter, you'll have your choice of Mt. Hood ski slopes: 13 miles to Skibowl, 14 miles to Summit, and 20 miles to Timberline. And always come home to a clawfoot tub and lovely details like hand-carved stairs and natural wood railings.

Cute rustic cabin on the creek. You can see the neighbors next door, but was very quiet. Comfy bed and nice gas firepit on the side deck. Easy drive to Mt Hood. One bathroom that is small, but worked for just me and my wife.

Great Rustic cabin

Felt like an old time movie set. Very cool 1930's feel. Go in planning for a fun stay in the old days, except here the beds were comfortable and there was good hot water. Sandy River was just down a short path and was so refreshing after a hot day hiking.

Very rustic and cool cabin. Felt like a movie set right out the 1930s. Beds comfortable. Bathroom and Shower small but fun for the experience. River was great for a cold dip. No road noise, just the sound of the river. Grocery store only 5 min away.

Really nice place to stay in to get away from your routine. Enjoyed staying here and the view is amazing. Favorite part of all is the river right behind the cabin.
