Romantic

Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.

Looking for an off grid'ish experience but want some of the comforts of home? Come stay in my cozy cool cabin at the base of Mt Adams in Trout Lake, WA. Cabin has one Queen bed and a fold out cot under the bed. Max capacity 2 adults and 2 children. What makes this cabin cool? Well, it is a retired DNR fire watch cabin! The cabin is as original as can be! Equipped with battery operated and solar lights along with propane heat! Porta potty right next to it for your use! There is a full bathroom and amenities to include fridge, microwave, coffee pot and air fryer just a short walk away! Dishes are not included and cooking utensils are very limited. Winter sports galore up here right now! Cross country skiing, snow shoeing, ample parking for snow mobile trailers! OR bring your favorite book and come enjoy a peaceful restful weekend! Springtime is a gorgeous time of year up here and turkey season is a favorite! Ample room for boats/trailers if you are considering hitting Drano lake for some springer salmon fishing! It is apx 30 minutes away. In the summertime come up and enjoy the hiking! Sleeping Beauty trail is just a few minutes away and you are within 30 minutes or Hood River if you are looking to explore and check out wineries. There are cheese caves, ice caves, Goose Lake, Council Lake and so much more! Fall is one of my favorite seasons! Hood River fishery has been amazing and the fall colors can't be beat! There is a fire pit and campfires are welcome when there is not a burn ban. Trout Lake Inn is a local favorite up here and check their Facebook to see what live entertainment they have coming up. Pets are welcome - please make sure they are well behaved and are kept close to the cabin. I do have my own friendly dogs (Ruby and Muskett) on the property, but they do not have access to the cabin area. Come enjoy the mountain air - it is good for the soul! **No parties - limit of 2 adult guests and up to 2 children. No illegal drugs. No smoking or vaping inside cabin or the bathroom/hospitality room.Looking for an off grid'ish experience but want some of the comforts of home?

Little Mountain Cabin

Great one night stay!

I have always stayed in cabins IN the woods, this cabin is out in the SUN! If you need some sunshine, come here (when it's sunny). Snow, blue skies, SO many stars, fire pit for hot dogs and contemplating life. Just a few minutes from Trout Lake for any needed items, but be forewarned, Trout Lake businesses close down early at night (the one grocery, gas station, restaurant). Kitchen/Bath house is warm & cozy, short walk from the cabin. Dishes are minimal, so bring plates/bowls/spoons if needed. We made do with a glass measuring cup and a fork for breakfast oatmeal in the microwave. The low was 18 degrees, so we had the propane stove on the whole night. We woke up around 2am with a strong smell of chemical in the cabin. Within a few minutes, the Carbon Monoxide Detector beeped. We turned off the heat and slept cold for the rest of the night. We didn't see any warnings about keeping the heater on all night, but it kinda freaked us out. Cabin was clean and small and neat and perfect nonetheless.

Rad little spot

Super cute little cabin! It snowed the entire time we were there, literally a dream. The bed is super comfy and stayed warm all night. Accommodated two people and two dogs just fine!

My absolute dream place to be snowed in!! While we didn't get to see Mt Adams or the stars, we were blessed with the most gorgeous winter wonderland in the most adorable and cozy little cabin!! We played uno by lantern light and taught each other new card games, wandered along the very quiet country roads, and overall just had a lovely, peaceful, romantic time. Amy was so kind in helping us reignite the stove pilot after we managed to douse it, and all around communicative. Highly recommend!!!

Little Mountain Cabin

10/10 experience and stay!

This cozy little cabin was perfect! Freezing temps of about 25° overnight but the fire outside and propane heater in the cabin kept us plenty warm. For an old retired fire-watch cabin, there was much more included in the stay than expected and the addition of bathroom/shower a short walk away was much appreciated! The host was very helpful and responded quickly to all questions I had.
