Marmot House is a lush 13 acres of mostly old growth forest in the foothills of Mt. Hood, right on the Historic Oregon Trail. It is close to hiking, biking, and forested waterfalls a short drive away. We have beautiful short hikes on trails in our forest on the property. World class windsurfing 30 miles away in Hood River, as well as more amazing waterfall hikes in the Columbia River Gorge. The Sandy River recreation area is just up the road from us and we are 10 mins. from The Sandy Ridge Trail with its 17 miles of mountain bike trails. Each campsite is tucked in the woods and has access our communal fire pit at our gathering space. Our well water tastes amazing! The is not a developed campground, it is our home. We see ourselves as stewards of this hidden forest gem and welcome people to enjoy its beauty. We are avid campers and recently spend 9 months in our teardrop trailer off grid on public lands. Living here we are family of four plus one who all work from home, Arehn a spiritual life coach, who loves to cook, Jim a software engineer and disc golfer, sons Ian, software engineer and writer and Sam, Environmental Science major and elite level Ultimate frisbee player. Tom Brown III (T3), Nature Educator and professional Photographer, lives in a separate apartment on the property.

This site is absolutely magical. From the stunning scenery, to the location, to the truly extraordinary friendliness and hospitality, everybody should experience staying here in their lifetime - else they’re missing out. My partner Megan and I went for her birthday and were met with a cupcake, candle and a celebratory bottle of wine. We were truly surprised and it made her day that much more special. The cabin itself was a dream, and we couldn’t help but fall into a deeply relaxed state every time we laid down on the comfy king bed. Thank you Arehn & J.

Overall I had a great experience. My hosts were kind and met me at the gate. I loved the touch of the fresh flowers.My only recommendation is to put curtains on the windows for privacy. I could see into the main house and people walked right past the cabin

Lovely Escape!
We stayed in our vehicle and it was really lovely, beautifully treed area and walking paths! So quiet and Arehn came out to meet us and make sure we knew where everything was. Was a great place to stay for a night while on our road trip. Would be back if in the area again! This spot was right by the road but it’s not very busy and didn’t bother us at all.
