Include the whole family or all of your friends, as well as your dogs, in your adventurous ski or lake vacation at this charming Government Camp vacation rental. Here, you'll find all the comforts of home along with two large balconies, and a deck, so you can relax before the views after a long day on the slopes.

Surrounded by lush greenery, this home offers a serene getaway while still being less than a half-mile from downtown Government Camp, and within easy access to and from Highway 26. You can walk to the Taco Shoppe, Govy General Store, and much more.

Nature comes to you at this homey lodge. Wood furnishings and accents spot every room and the middle level even has log cabin walls. Enormous windows bring in bright natural light and make this home feel spacious and airy.

Step through the front door to find a comfy living room with a wood-framed futon and comfortable chair. Away from the main living area, this room is perfect for some quiet time reading a book or playing a card game across the etched wood coffee table.

You'll most likely spend most of your time on the second level with the open concept kitchen, dining room, and family room with a gorgeous fireplace. Relax on the leather sofa in the family room while watching a movie or show on the flatscreen TV, which includes cable and a DVD player. WiFi is also provided here so you can easily look up directions or stay caught up on work emails.

Hook your iPod or phone up to the Bluetooth speaker and crank up the music while you prepare delicious meals in the kitchen. The granite countertops, stainless steel major appliances, and tile backsplash bring a wonderful sense of elegance and ensure meals are made and cleaned up in a snap so you can spend more time vacationing. Also included is a microwave, dishwasher, coffeemaker, toaster, French press, and more.

A rustic dining table with benches on each side of the table for the group to sit down for a meal together.

There is a half bathroom off the main area as well as French doors to the large balcony. Head outside and light up the grill for steaks or settle after your downhill ski or kayak workout.

Take the stairs up to the third level to find two spacious master suites, each with access to a private deck. A sofabed will sleep the remainder of guests, and a washer and dryer are available for your convenience.

All guests will get a good night's sleep here with beds for everyone and don't forget to include your dogs in your vacation.

You're only four miles to Trillum Lake for fishing, kayaking (rentals from Mount Hood Adventure Park deliver to the lake), and just all-around breathtaking views in the summer. Winter months offer fantastic skiing just steps away at Ski Bowl East, and a shuttle can also take you to Ski Bowl West. From this great location, you're also just seven miles from Timberline Lodge!

Rain, snow, or shine, this Mount Hood vacation rental offers a wonderful family or friend retreat with more than just the comforts of home.

Really great for families
A really great place, especially for families. The layout is such that two large primary bedrooms are on the top floor, main living on the middle floor and a downstairs bedroom (for the kids!) on the lower level. And bathrooms on all levels. We’d definitely stay there again.

Snow Cabin Retreat
Our stay was marvelous at this log cabin. We spent 99% of our weekend at the cabin watching our favorite MLB team on tv and playing board games while it snowed most of the weekend.

We loved the layout. The cleanliness was not good, and there is not a hot tub, even though it was in several pictures and in the virtual tour listed on the site.

Great mini vacation
My family and I stayed 2 nights at the cabin. It was perfect for us. Close to Mt Hood Meadows, night sledding and lovely walks in the woods. A couple of maintenance issues which I’m sure will be resolved for next guest.

Cozy and comfy
This house is just so lovely. Great cozy log cabin vibes. The layout was perfect for the teenagers to stay up late on the ground level while the parents could get some sleep in the beautiful 3rd story bedrooms (with really comfy beds!) Great location right in Govy. We would love to stay here again.

Excellent house
This was a good getaway for our family. The house is smaller and darker than it appears on the photos, but looks exactly like the visual. Neighborhood was great, love the location. Thank you so much Vacasa!

Beautiful cabin!
We had a wonderful stay in June for my 13yo ski camp! The cabin was very close to everything! Clean & well maintained! We stayed with another family & there was plenty of room for everyone! I would definitely love to stay here again!! Only downside was the highway is very close. We just turned on the fans & that drowned out the noise!

Great Location
This home has a great location in Government camp. Overall the home could use a little upgrading of the pots and pans and linens. Other than that it was comfortable. Plenty of hot water for showers and everything else worked well.

Very warm, great fireplace, spacious for the sq footage. Kitchen pretty nice. Could use some saucepans. Bring your own firewood. Hot tub was broken, but that seems normal with previous reviews. Good value for the rental fee.

The house was nice and well kept. However, the house only sleeps 10 but was advertised as sleeping 12. The highway noise was very loud so suggest using ear plugs.

One night of heat, lightning and amenities, all good. The rest of our reservation time was not good.

Perfect getaway!
We had a great time here. Check-in process was seamless. The house was very clean and the beds are very comfortable. No issues with appliances. The house was the perfect location for all the things we wanted to do, and it was nice to just walk across the bridge to the store/restaurants. Please know that you WILL hear highway noise, but we knew that from reading other reviews. I don't think the highway noise is easily avoided if you want to stay in Government Camp. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely come back again.

Beautiful log house. Good location
Great house. But… Very dirty unusable hot tub. Cloudy green water with a big wad of chewing gum floating around. Empty plastic bottle on the bottom and disgusting hair clump floating around. We should get our hot tub fee back.

Location ✅
This house was very accommodating for my family of 5 plus their spouses. Only draw back was the hot tub. I messaged before we arrived questioning the hot tub as it is in several reviews. No communication from management and no response while on site. We were very much looking forward to hot-tubbing while admiring the snow. Other than that, great home for larger families

Skiing Bear Chalet
Overall, the home was comfortable and had what we needed and the kitchen was well stocked with all cooking essentials. In addition, the home was within walking distance to shops and restaurants in Government Camp. Negatives: The location is right next to the highway, so traffic noise was quite loud. We stayed over a very wet weekend and the dirt driveway tended to drain towards the front porch and entrance. Finally, the home was a bit dirty/not well cleaned.

Nightmare on Mt Hood
The cabin has so many issues. No heat or hot water on our arrival, garbage cans full of trash scattered across yard, dishwasher not cleaning dishes so everything in the cupboard was dirty and the condition of the cooking pans were horrible, dust and cobwebs all over the house…. I could go on…the one positive thing I can say about this cabin was the help from the management

Dirty dishes. Broken pull out. Maitnance showed up unannounced while I was in the shower. The hot tub isn't properly working. The home had eggs on more then one pan. Needless to say I won't be coming back.

Nice house but a bit run down
We loved the house and the location but we left feedback for Vacasa about cleanliness and condition. The house desperately needs some things to be replaced... all bedding (pillows/quilts/sheets), pots/pans, etc. Also, the cleaners seemed to have forgotten to clean the kitchen and main living area before we got there. It wasn't clean... quite a bit of dog hair on rugs, coffee left in the pot, fridge had crumbs, etc. We booked this place a year ago... but since then the hot tub has broken. I imagine they have removed the hot tub from the listing now but I would strongly encourage the owners to fix it... It would've added a lot to our experience there. Overall, the photos are a bit misleading on this rental.
