Vintage Cabin Near Zig Zag River with Hot tub & Sauna
Alpine Ski Haus – Cozy 1925 Log Cabin w/ Hot Tub & Sauna
Step into mountain charm at Alpine Ski Haus. A cozy log cabin built in 1925 with all the rustic feels and modern comforts. Whether you’re here for ski days, summer hikes, or a weekend of pure relaxation, this cabin has you covered. Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway.
Tucked among the towering evergreens of Mt. Hood, Alpine Ski Haus feels like a step back in time — a century-old mountain cabin surrounded by peace and evergreen trees. The moment you arrive, you’ll feel that unmistakable sense of calm that only the woods can bring.
Just a 1-hour drive from Portland and 12 minutes from Government Camp, this charming getaway is perfect for a romantic weekend, a peaceful solo retreat, or a fun-filled family vacation.
Inside, the cabin glows with warm log details, and rustic charm. Mornings welcome you with warm cup of coffee in the kitchen while sunlight filters through the trees. Evenings invite you to curl up with a good book, play a board game, or share stories around the cozy living room.
A bedroom on the main floor makes it easy to settle in, while upstairs you’ll find another bedroom and a small loft sitting area adjacent to it — perfect for reading, journaling, or simply relaxing. On the other side, above the living room, is a children’s nook with a small sofa that opens into a single bed — a favorite hideaway for little ones.
Step outside and breathe in the crisp alpine air — the covered hot tub is ready for a peaceful soak beneath a canopy of trees, and the two-person sauna adds a touch of spa-like relaxation to your stay.
Though the cabin was built in 1925, it’s been carefully cared for and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable, restful getaway. Simple, warm, and surrounded by nature
Alpine Ski Haus is your cozy retreat in the woods.

The hot tub was great! It and the house were very clean. Loved it! It's a beautiful area, the river is a 5min walk away. It was a great place to stay for the weekend.
Had a very cozy stay with wonderful amenities and great, responsive communication with Diego. The hot tub wasn't working for the first night of our stay but Diego was aware and communicated well in advance of check in to make us aware, and came out to resolve it personally the next day. Besides that all was great from the get-go and we had no issues! The space was lovely and had plenty to comfortable room to relax and stretch out.
