All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

Sit on the covered porch no matter the weather and enjoy the sounds and scenes of nature! This is the ideal place to come, unwind and just be a part of nature. Your views will be of trees, mountains and creeks. The cabin is far enough away from our home so you will have privacy and seclusion. It is a short but very uphill hike from the parking area. When you arrive, feel free to find your way up to the cabin. You may want to pack light as it is a bit of a hike! Linens and blankets will be provided for the King size bed. The cabin is constructed from local trees we've harvested using our sawmill as well as Redwood and Douglas Fir salvaged from an old water tower deconstructed locally on the mountain. This is the perfect rustic, quiet and private retreat for all seasons. We now have a King size bed in the cabin for up to 2 people. This is a one of kind rustic experience. We provide all of the firewood needed for the cabin. Longer stays at a discounted price for those engaged in creative projects will be considered...please message me.Crystal Creek Cabin is located under large Cedar trees on our 80 acre property adjoining the Mt. Hood National Forest. Sit on the covered porch no matter the weather and enjoy the sounds and scenes of nature! This is the ideal place to come, unwind and just be. Inside the cabin is a wood stove for keeping warm during the cold months. This is an off grid cabin...however we have a Honda generator that can be used for lights and electrical plug-ins or go without electricity and use the lantern and candles provided.

Quiet, Clean, and oh so Serene!

A beautiful and secluded cabin in the woods! We so enjoyed the peace of the cabin and listening to the creek. Well maintained and a very comfortable bed. Close to all the adventures Mt.Hood has to offer.

Lovely cabin in the woods by a little stream. So perfect to fall asleep to. Loved the wood stove and tasteful furnishings. The cabin was extremely clean and Rachel had started a welcoming fire in the wood stove. I had mentioned cooking and she left me a little caste iron frying pan to use. It was a delightful escape from the city life. Thank you for sharing such a special spot.

This place is fantastic and Rachel is a great host! The cabin is cozy, offers a great escape, and the nearby creek/waterfall is charming to listen to while sleeping. My fiance and I got engaged here and we would definitely go again!

This was the best spot ever. Cabin had everything you needed and the layout was so well thought out and planned. Bathing in the stream was a highlight. We hope to be lucky enough to be back.

We had a very relaxing time. The roaring creek within a few feet of the cabin made for good night sleep. One of the pups from the property hung out with us for a morning and she was very sweet. We packed a little more than we should've and the hike in was a bit of a challenge so do keep that in mind.

It was a lovely stay… would highly recommend if you’re needing to get away and enjoy some peace in nature w/o having to pack all the camping gear.
