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.

Loved that it was near the water. Close enough to the town, but far enough that you feel like you’re in the wilderness.

Lovely cabin in the Mt Hood area.

Zoe's Cabin is a lovely getaway in the Mt. Hood National Forest. The cabin has a lovely rustic charm. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen has most everything you need, and vibes overall are very relaxing. The backyard has a hammock and chairs to use to enjoy the view of the Sandy River. The part of the river you have access to maybe isn't the best for swimming as it's very rocky and the current moves by pretty fast. My only real complaint is that the water smells rusty and the shower is definitely outdated and doesn't get very hot. Besides that, it's a lovely place for a weekend getaway.

the best location ever!

The location in summer is a dream come true... The house is an historic Steiner Cabin - which is lovely... but very impractical when it comes to creature comforts. (no place to store clothes etc; lighting is terrible - bring a night light; since there is no dishwasher, it would be nice if there was a scrubby pad -instead of counter sponge to wash dishes; and stairs up to cute loft area are treacherous). However the location is divine and makes all inconveniences fade.

Another great stay

This was a repeat visit for us, and we loved it again. The cabin has great ambiance, comfortable furniture, and lots of amenities. The location is fantastic right on the river and close enough to Mt. Hood to drive up for the day. The house and grounds are relaxing and enjoyable for adults and children. The video library is nice. The shopping center nearby has a big enough market and several restaurants and a bakery. We were happy to see that one of our suggestions was implemented. We still think there needs to be more lights. The house can be difficult to find, so be aware. The house is quite rustic, so keep that in mind. And we love the doorman, who is always there waiting for us when we return from an outing.

Adorable cabin - but it has some major issues

Three things we liked: It’s an absolutely adorable cabin in a perfect location. We loved hearing & seeing the river in the back. We were close to all the places we wanted to see around Mt. Hood: Ramona Falls, Mirror Lake, Wahkeena to Multnomah Falls Trail, Umbrella & Sahalie Falls, & Little Zigzag Falls. We do all of our own meal prep on vacation, & the kitchen is adequate with almost all we needed to cook at “home” during our stay. The bed was a memory foam mattress, which was very comfortable for us. Three things that would have made our stay better: Better directions to the cabin: Poor cell service interrupted our Google Maps near the cabin. We eventually found the community where the cabin was nestled but there was no house number by the “Zoe’s Cabin” sign. We didn’t even see the sign until the next day. We found the right cabin by going down too many wrong driveways & finally recognizing the cabin from the online pictures we saw when we chose the rental. It would be helpful to have a PDF map with distinct directions to print in advance AND have the house number somewhere on the property. Safe drinking water: The water looks, smells, and tastes “rusty.” After the first sip, we decided that bottled water for drinking was a must. They should provide a Brita-type pitcher. Screens in windows: We opened the tops of the doors, which are screened, but it wasn’t enough to cool the cabin, especially the bedroom. There are too many mosquitos to open unscreened windows.

Unexpected Downfalls

I was so excited to take my best friend for a private weekend away in the woods! Cozy by a warm fire and just watch movies. I found out after booking that the fire place in the cabin was unusable, which is fine, they had a propane fire place to heat. When we arrived there was a giant note saying the propane fire place was not working due to a carbon monoxide leak (which was not communicated to me at all ahead of time). The cabin was FREEZING! The old school plug in wall heaters that they did leave, took over 8 hours to finally get the cabin to a decent temperature. We froze the first night and still woke up to a chilly cabin. We couldn’t even use the second bedroom because we had to prioritize which rooms to keep warm. I reached out immediately the first we realized this and it took hours for the team to respond and still never came back with a solution for me - even as I’m writing this as we are preparing to check out. I wanted to love this cabin so much but the dirty mess and cobwebs, the old musty couch, just not ideal with the other issues we ran into. For the money we paid I am very disappointed in this experience and lack of follow through from the rental company in helping find any solutions. Be warned before you rent this place and be sure the heat is working again!! Saddened renter.

Can’t shower

We spent three days for our anniversary and birthday at this cute little cabin and everything would’ve been perfect except for the water taste like rust and we couldn’t bathe in it because it made you smell like rust and your hair smell like rust and your skin was very itchy afterwards just from washing your hands in the water. This is a very big concern and I am going to reach out and ask for a discount due to the fact that Covid is serious and people need to be able to have clean body parts and brush their teeth safely. Also, there’s a club foot tub and the shower is in there but if you were a remotely elder or can’t lift your leg 2 1/2 feet over the cloud foot tub you can’t bathe. The view was gorgeous. The directions getting there awful and they send you to a dead end street. There’s no address posted on the building so we were like creepers walking up to peoples cabins seeing if we were out the right location. It’s very very confusing we drove in circles for like half hour.. The upstairs is completely dangerous. There’s no light in the hallway. The stairs are very steep and spaced apart. You could easily get your foot caught in between the steps. If you’re not careful I wouldn’t recommend going up and down those stairs by themselves.. another thing that was very disappointing and it’s one of the only things that we go to a cabin for is to enjoy a fireplace. Well, the fireplace was broken and it says bring your own wood so we loaded the car with a bunch of wood.😔 waste

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.
