Mt Hood lodge in Forest Setting with Firepit & NEW Private Hot Tub

The house is amazing, the area is perfect, it is in a beautiful setting, equipped with pretty much everything you need, the question is, will the things inside the house be working? Now the things that weren't so great: We arrived and it was 57 degrees inside, raining outside, it was cold. We turned on the heat and went out for dinner. We returned a few hours later and it was still 57. After trying to troubleshoot, we realized the heat wasn't working. We called the local person who didn't answer, so we called VRBO. They opened a claim and was supposed to call back. They didn't so we called again, they forgot to escalate it to maintenance. Now we were told they will send someone out very shortly. Well finally we got in contact with the local lady, who first said she would try to send someone out that night, but minutes later texted that they were waiting on a part, admitting they knew the furnace wasn't working. That's when we started feeling really disappointed, that they didn't tell us about this before we arrived, as we had a child with us too, and we really were freezing. She said to use the fireplace, which we did and after long hours we got it up to like 60 degrees, but honestly we couldn't relax and we weren't planning on tending to the fire while on vacation (Luckily the bedrooms had individual heaters so while sleeping, we were nice and warm). We got $250 refund. Also high cleaning fee but had to clean before leaving. Couldn't plug bathtub drain either.

What a great place! Full of hidden areas for kids, a huge tree swing, and places that made a cousins trip a bit magical. Highly recommend. Hosting-wise, a bit disappointing. The communication with vacasa was great (much better than previous experiences), but the general hosting is a little sloppy. Nothing major, but little inconveniences showed up all the time. We arrived and there were no paper towels or napkins, so we had to get that. The hot tub smelled moldy, so we had to try to treat it, but the materials were not in the labeled boxes. The check out instructions have you going around the house to strip beds, set thermostats, hunt for light switches, etc. Basically, lots of things like that. We’d love to stay here again, can’t say enough good things about the place. If you are looking to stay, plan on making a sweep of the place before settling in.

This is a great spot! We stayed with our two kids and dog. Everyone enjoyed the outdoor space - the woods, sitting area and hot tub. It's close enough to amenities, grocery store, gas station and restaurants, but at the cabin, it feels like you are in a secluded forest. There is no cell reception inside the house and the internet is a bit slow. It was great for a getaway when you are looking to unplug! The fridge and kitchen ware could use a good cleaning but is fully stocked with everything you need. The washer and dryer work, but could use a refresh. Overall it's a great cabin with all the comforts you need! We will definitely be back.

Exactly as advertised, spacious cabin with wonderful amenities. There was a burn ban when we stayed but the hosts left wood inside so we could still use the two inside fireplaces. The hot tub and tree swings were excellent and fun amenities to use when we stayed.

This is a great cabin with plenty of sleeping spaces if you have a lot of kids. Only downside was the upstairs full sized bed was fairly uncomfortable. Downstairs bed was great though. The kitchen was better than most cabins we’ve stayed in and the overall cabin design was really cool. Outside had a hot tub, fire pit, horseshoe pit and a giant swing which was really fun. It would have been nice to have an early checkin or late checkout option but this is definitely one to visit if you get the opportunity.

This place was very fun! We stayed with family and friends. The location was great, it was 30 minutes from Mt. Hood, and it was quiet and secluded. The negative part was there were no screens on the windows. We knew there was no AC, and we were hoping to open the windows at night when it was cooler, but unfortunately that was not an option because we did not want bugs in the house. It was then very hot during the night and hard to sleep. There was also a porn magazine found in the magazine bin. We understand that this was probably left by a previous guest. Thankfully we did not have any children come with us. Overall it was a very fun place to stay!

Decent property -- it was a cool place to stay for a few days with friends and family. Good amenities and ample space to accommodate 8 people. Plenty of outdoor space to roam around. A lot darker on the inside than the pictures would lead one to believe, despite the many skylights throughout the place. Also, relatively close to other properties. Overall, would recommend.

Cabin was great, it felt very remote when it really wasn't. Loved the wood burning fire place and my kids had fun with the 3rd floor loft. Came during winter but I think I would like it just as much in the summer.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. My older children loved the swing! The house had plenty of room to spread out, but nice gathering spaces for us to connect. The hot tub was in a perfect location for privacy and convenience to the rest of the home. The fireplace and fire pit were highlights for us. We absolutely loved gathering around, and having such a huge centerpiece to have a cozy feel. The floors are to die for, and I loved how they creaked when we walked around. It felt like a true cabin! We washed and dried several loads (someone fell into the lake!). The machines were great!The one major downside to this property was, unfortunately, the kitchen. Every dish we pulled out needed to be re-washed. We took out many things that had grease still caked on it. There was even a bowl that someone had clearly had popcorn in and just put back into the cupboard. The knives were dull, the plates and bowls chipped, and the cookware was really worn. Things were mismatched and hodgepodged together…and not in a cute, intentional way. The pot filler is a nice addition, but part of it is broken and water leaked all over the place before we realized it was broken. The dishwasher takes FOREVER and dishes came out dirty. We had to run it twice.Overall, I would recommend this property to someone but I encourage the owners to check in on the cleaners, and replace some of the kitchen items to make this a 5 star stay.

We cannot describe the beauty of this cabin and property! It was meticulously kept, cozy, and stunning. The location is perfect for Mt Hood boarding and golfing too!

We had high hopes for this home after viewing the gorgeous photos. In reality the home is very dark and in desperate need of some new furniture. The size of the home also warrants more seating in living room area. The couch is extremley dirty and the cushions are completely broke down making it very difficult to get in and out of. There was one nice over sized chair but a second one would have fit nicely in the room and allowed for the needed additional seating. The oversized very cool looking copper bathtub is more for looks than for functionality. It was nearly impossible to get the drain to plug and the water pressure in both the tub upstairs and the shower downstairs was terribly weak. Speaking of the bathrooms, the toilets are very low to the ground which takes some getting use to. The windows are the kind that roll open and outward which is great to look at but they don\'t have any screens on them and the mosquitoes flew right in if you tried to open them. I say "tried" to open them because the handles would fall off into your hands each time you would attempt to open any of the windows. Even though the temperatures at night were in the mid 50s, and the high temperature was 82 while we were there they had "no fires allowed, they neighbors will tell on you" signs posted rendering that very desirable fire pit out front completely useless. All and all the home offered nothing to do (even the decks of cards were missing cards), and really needs some work to make it comfortable. We ended up leaving a day and night early we were so disappointed.

Had a great time staying at this unique property. Clean and advertised as listed.

The property was beautiful and private. It looks much better in person. The house was clean and organized and felt very welcoming. We had the experience that we were hoping for! Would definitely recommend and would go again! Instructions for the property and check in were easy and clear to understand. Family friendly! Comfortable! Beautiful!

We had a minor hitch in our check-in process, and had to delay while the cleaning crew finished. Not a big deal once we were able to get access. The place was immaculate and the photos of the outdoors don't do the environment justice. It is majestic giant trees down a winding road. It feels like you are out in the middle of nowhere, but you are close to Packwood grocery stores and cute restaurants. Highly recommend the Zig Zag Inn for a cozy feel and prices that haven't changed in two decades. Wish we had even more time here, but it was a perfect launching off point to visit Timberline Lodge and spend 3 amazing sunny fresh powder ski days at Mt. Hood Meadows.

This is one of those amazing cabins that you can book just for the cabin! We barely wanted to leave the house to explore! It was so well put together that it was its own destination! I would love to see it in the snow and sit in the hot tub. We will definitely book here again. Gorgeous cabin!

rented this place out for a week and it was even better than expected. The home is amazing and had so many hidden treasures around the home. we had stuff planned every day but we found ourselves most days wanting to stay in the cabin watching movies and hanging outside on the swing. a perfect place for families or even friends.

We loved the location and idea of this property. However, the bed were awful and no one got good sleep.. the appliances/hot tub have been used to the point they should be out or of their misery. I would have appreciated maybe a speaker or something for the downstairs. Better instructions on how to use the fire place, how to reset the hot tub and the other various items around the home. You will not have cell service 😅 I also believe the cabin is haunted…. WE LOVED THAT TUB!

This is a beautiful lodge with lots of fun secrets. The kids loved it. Cozy, spacious and private. Beautiful forest surroundings.

Sycamore Lodge continues to stun. This is our second time staying at the Property and we felt right at home. The cabin is gorgeous, the location is perfect for a day on Mt. Hood or enjoying the trails and lakes in the surrounding area. Check in and out was easy and the communication was great. We will be back!

The Sycamore Lodge was a really fun home. There were really cool features and it was great for our multigenerational family. Unfortunately, we were left without gas which fuels the heater, hot water, and stove. It took multiple visits by personnel to resolve the issue on Christmas Eve.

The couples from Wisconsin could not make it because of the travel disaster that occurred across the country over the holiday weekend. My son was able to stay there because he lives in Portland. I am VERY disappointed there wasn't ANY consideration to refunding some of our money or offering any kind of credit for future use. Both VRBO and VACASA stuck strictly to their policies. We are unlikely to use VACASA again. Plus talking to someone in Egypt and Belize about the situation does not help.

Beautiful property! Loved every minute staying in this amazing cabin. The nights were awesome with the sounds of nature all around us. If you want to get away from the every day hustle of life, spend a quiet week here.

Loved our stay at this house. If you want a "Lodge" experience up on the mountain, then this is your place. We didn't end up going up to the mountain due to icy conditions and were totally content just hanging out at this house.

Beautiful home in an amazing location

When we arrived at the lodge, our jaws dropped…the photos could not compare with the beauty of this property. Not only is the building respectful to the old growth forest surrounding it, every fixture and piece of furniture and art is so beautiful and well-chosen. The curation of the space is almost an homage to the aesthetics of the Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood. The location of this property was perfect—close to many spectacular hiking trails. The kitchen was well appointed, hot tub was wonderful after a long day of hiking. I would love to return with family in the future.
