Get out of town without straying far from Portland with a Mt.
Hood-area cabin rental.
About an hour's drive from Portland, the small community of Government Camp is a great place for a cabin getaway, no matter the season. The town's location right by Mt. Hood makes it a popular option for winter sports enthusiasts in search of easy access to skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing both up at the mountain and in the nearby Mount Hood and Willamette national forests. However, the summer months are equally fun in this neck of the woods, where a Government Camp cabin rental or vacation home will put you within easy reach of hiking and mountain bike trails, as well as lots of beautiful alpine lakes. Most cabins in the area are privately owned and available for rental, many with charming details like wood stoves, full kitchens, comfy linens, and even hot tubs.
