Great atmosphere and place to relax in the woods.

Close to Mount Hood and the house is warm and charming. We gathered with our adult children and found the set up to work excellent.

Fun Stay

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.

Beautiful Cabin near Mt. Hood

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.

Just perfect!!

The reality of this stay was even better than we expected. This was a dream come true to stay in a fancy cabin like this! My 5 year old daughter loved the swing and sleeping in the bunk bed. The secret loft in the very top was super magical too! We were disappointed that we couldn’t light a campfire but as a native PNWer I totally understand the responsibility we have to take care of our forests. Hopefully we can stay again in the winter when it’s wet enough to have a fire! The dishwasher was confusing since it obviously needed some repairs, but that was the only thing that was even borderline annoying. It is a magical place. We can’t wait to come back!

Disappointed - Left Early

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.

Wonderful Getaway Spot

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.

Beautiful Cabin & Perfect location for Mt. Hood boarding

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!

Great Stay at Beautiful Home

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.

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.

Gorgeous cabin destination in the woods!

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!
