About this property
Heart of village! Knotty pine cabin located on a creek.
The Camp Creek Lodge is located in the heart of the alpine village at the base of the Glade Trail. It was constructed in 1938. The cabin features a knotty pine interior and a majestic stone fireplace.
The main level contains the entry foyer, living room / dining area, kitchen, utility room, a full-bathroom, a half-bathroom, and the main entry foyer. The upstairs contains two bedrooms, and a sleeping area at the top of the stairs. Each upstairs bedroom has air-conditioning during summer for better warm weather sleeping. There have been multiple improvements throughout the years to make the cabin more comfortable, convenient, and safe without sacrificing the work done by the skilled craftsman of the 1930's.
The roads to the cabin and parking at the cabin are plowed during winter. There is parking for two cars on site with nearby public parking available for additional vehicles.
The cabin has plenty of yard area for children to play and just up the road at the dead end is a great winter play area with a hill ideal for inner-tubing. Access to the trails along the north side of Government Camp are accessed through this area and lead to a large network of hiking/cross country skiing/snowshoeing trails. Trails to south side of the village can be access by walking over the Multorpor bridge. These trails give easy access all the way to Trillium Lake and beyond.
Village shops and restaurants are only a two minute walk away, ideal for be able to leave the car at the cabin when doing culinary and retail exploring.
The cabin is stocked with board games and videos. The Govy General Store (200' away) rents DVD's and sells items to make your trip even more enjoyable.
While at the cabin don't forget to check out the Mt. Hood Museum and Cultural Center.
This cabin is vintage 1938 (Timberline Lodge era) with a 1974 addition, this means it’s full of quirks and character and that’s why we adore it so much. If you are more comfortable in a sleek modern cabin, we gently suggest this cabin might not be the best fit for your getaway.
IMPORTANT - Shortly after booking our cabin we will request payment for County Room Tax which VRBO is currently unable to capture at booking. These taxes are 6.35% of the amount you pay to VRBO. This situation is unwelcome for everyone, so we hope VRBO will update their software soon! All owners using VRBO for lodging on Mt. Hood are in the same situation. They used to collect this tax but tell us now their software is unable to do it. VRBO has told me they are working on a solution.

Cozy cabin in a fabulous location! Was perfect for a long weekend stay with two kids, including games and a market within walking distance for convenience.
Seamless check-in, great location in Govt. Camp with restaurants and general store within walking distance, cozy vibe and lots of movies/books/games included which is great if you’re traveling with kids. And only a 15-minute drive up to Timberline lodge/skiing. Cabin had lots of space, kitchen was stocked with all needed equipment, and bathrooms were all clean and well appointed! Great memories!
Very clean, spacious and well stocked cabin. It was the perfect rustic experience to our winter visit to Government Camp. Note that the stairs are very narrow/steep so not good for anyone with mobility limitations. Also the beds are quite firm although we still slept well.
This cabin is well appointed and cozy but room enough to relax, play games and socialize. I had everything I needed for a perfect stay. I had to contact the owner, Blane, for a clarifying question and he was friendly and helpful. I would stay again in a heartbeat!
We loved absolutely everything about this wonderful little cabin! It had everything we needed for a super comfortable stay. The kids loved exploring the creek and we appreciated being close enough to walk to town. All communications with the owner went super smoothly and we can’t wait to come back.
What an amazing way to spend Christmas with family. The cabin was in amazing condition, the kitchen had everything we needed, and watching the snow fall with a fire blazing was perfect.
This property certainly lived up to expectations ~ it is indeed cozy but very well appointed, a lovely cabin in the woods two blocks off the main road in Government Camp. The layout is well thought out, and accommodated 2 adults and 3 teen skiers perfectly. Would absolutely return, and hope to!
I found the cabin to be very clean and the main area spacious for our group. The wood burning fireplace was wonderful to sit by after a day fo skiing. There was a great selection of DVDs to choose from, and we enjoyed watching classics our pre-teen kids each night of our stay. The location cannot be beat. The sleeping arrangement does not offer for much privacy, but that is not a deterrent for a 2-day trip for our group.
We spent two nights at this cabin, and found it to be very charming. The sleeping situation is unique, so make sure that it will work for you. There were plenty of beds, and our bed and linens were clean and comfortable. The home itself is vintage, with most features being original, but we found it to be very clean, cozy, and charming. We loved the proximity to shops and restaurants, and the wall of windows with views of trees and snow in the main living area made us feel extra cozy!
We have rented this cute cabin several times 20 years ago now we have grandchildren & are delighted to come again. Wonderful fireplace so nice to cozy up with a fire. Large windows overlooking a woods & creek. Fun to play checkers & watch it snow! Welcome dining area & the beds were comfortable. A little challenging to get down steep stairs for bathroom but a minor inconvenience as this cabin oozes with rustic charm! It’s quiet & perfectly located as it’s walking distance to everything in government camp. Thank you & we will definitely rent again! cabin oozes with rustic charm.
We wanted to give our daughter a special 18th birthday, this fit the bill perfectly! My husband and I had our own cozy room, and the girls (all 7 of them) fit in the upstairs general room all in beds. The rest of the house was just perfect for meals, playing cards, and watching movies. The location is right in the middle of activities in Government Camp including skiing and tubing. Blane was a good host and communicated very well. We'll definitely bookmark this spot for a repeat visit next snow season!
This cabin met our expectations and more!! It had all the comforts of home and so clean! The beds were so comfortable. There were lots of games, puzzles and checkers to occupy our grandson. The large windows across the back of cabin overlooking the brook made it so relaxing. We would definitely stay here again!
Perfect mountain getaway for our family. Highlighted by ideal Govy location, roaring and cozy wood stove, and post card perfect picture windows overlooking snowy forest in back.
Perfect home base for family ski weekends. Proximity to skiing, restaurants, and general store couldn't be better. Extremely well outfitted and clean. Great wood stove. Beautiful view out back (don't forget to turn on the lights at night in a snowstorm). Really couldn't ask for more.
We had a wonderful stay in Blane's cabin. It's just tucked away enough from the main drag to feel private and quiet, especially with the creek running through the backyard. The kitchen was well equipped, the number of beds was incredible, and the fireplace was a favorite feature for sure. We loved our stay! I'm sure we'll be back.
Perfect little cabin in the heart of government camp! Amazing family weekend getaway we didn’t want to leave! Was better then expected. So many movies and games, almost any kitchen utensil provided. Wonderful hosts!!!! Would stay again

About the host
Hosted by Blane Skowhede
Welcome to the Camp Creek Lodge. We offer a well maintained, clean, comfortable cabin high in the Northern Oregon Cascades village of Government Camp. Our family has owned cabins on Mt. Hood since 1916 (we celebrated the 100 years of ownership at one of our cabins in 2016) and because of this we have spent years living, recreating and exploring in the area. We know Mt. Hood's history and what it currently has to offer.
The cabin was built in the 1930's and maintains the look and feel of that era. From the knotty pine interiors to the large stone chimney this is the type of cabin one might see in the background of an L.L. Bean or Eddie Bauer catalog. Throughout the years though, just the right amount of tasteful and sometimes hidden upgrades have been incorporated to make it warm, convenient and safe.
Our goal is to offer families the opportunities to make lasting treasured memories that can be kept and enjoyed for years to come. Our guests are amazed what a visit to our cabin will do for their soul. During the darkest grayest rainy days of winter we offer an escape to a winter wonderland of beautiful white fluffy snow.
We have happily managed everything ourselves for over 25 years. We do all the reservations, all the advertising, the hiring of the cleaning companies, the post check-out inspection, the pre-cleaning company cleaning, the post-cleaning company cleaning, the cabin setup for the next guest, all cabin maintenance and repair, all the firewood cutting, splitting, and delivery, and all the snow removal. We take great pride in our lodging and encourage you to contact us by telephone or e-mail with any questions you may have. If when you call we can’t satisfy your desired reservation dates we will do our best to give you suggestions on who else to call.
We look forward to working with you.

Why they chose this property
When looking for property we knew we wanted to purchase a cabin that was located in Mt. Hood's alpine village. Government Camp is the closest village to the high alpine outdoor activities we enjoy doing. It also has a great little business district that meets all of our needs while staying at the cabin as I'm sure it will for our guests too. The cabin is conveniently located in the heart of the Village. Walking to the shops, restaurants, or museum, is easy 2-3 minute walk. The cabin is also within a very short walking distance to winter play hills, recreation areas, and miles of backcounty hiking, cross county skiing and shoeing trails. Located at nearly the 4000' elevation of Mt Hood the cabin is within one half mile of Ski Bowl East (Multorpor) with its winter and summer recreation. The cabin is also just minutes from year 'round skiing at Timberline Lodge and from Mt Hood Meadows ski resort.
What makes this property unique
When we first saw the interior of this cabin we knew it was what we had been looking for. Its knotty pine interior and large stone fireplace help make the cabin feel the way an alpine cabin should feel.
