Sit on the covered porch no matter the weather and enjoy the sounds and scenes of nature! This is the ideal place to come, unwind and just be a part of nature. Your views will be of trees, mountains and creeks. The cabin is far enough away from our home so you will have privacy and seclusion. It is a short but very uphill hike from the parking area. When you arrive, feel free to find your way up to the cabin. You may want to pack light as it is a bit of a hike! Linens and blankets will be provided for the King size bed. The cabin is constructed from local trees we've harvested using our sawmill as well as Redwood and Douglas Fir salvaged from an old water tower deconstructed locally on the mountain. This is the perfect rustic, quiet and private retreat for all seasons. We now have a King size bed in the cabin for up to 2 people. This is a one of kind rustic experience. We provide all of the firewood needed for the cabin. Longer stays at a discounted price for those engaged in creative projects will be considered...please message me.Crystal Creek Cabin is located under large Cedar trees on our 80 acre property adjoining the Mt.

Mt Hood...Crystal Creek Cabin

Slice of Heaven

This was easily the best two way getaway I’ve had in ages! The cabin was cozy, clean, the attention to details were perfect. We had plenty of privacy and space. The constant sound of the creek was the cherry on top. It rained quite a bit but the wood burning stove kept us plenty warm, we barely touched the generator. After a 10 mile day hike in the rain including a visit to Romona Falls the bed in the cabin was absolute heaven. Cannot wait to come back. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us Rachel 🙏🏽

Mt Hood...Crystal Creek Cabin

This cabin was easily the best Hipcamp we’ve had on our cross country road trip! We didn’t want to leave. The location was perfect to check out Mount Hood. The trail to the cabin is steep but very much worth it. The host leaves little snacks and essentials and was great to communicate with. We’d definitely return and would highly recommend!

Listening to the rain

We had such a fantastic stay at Rachel’s cabin, we cannot wait to come back. It rained and poured a ton while we were there, but we made the best out of it. Due to high winds, we had no electricity within the cabin. None of that stopped us from our wonderful stay. Rachel had plenty of firewood ready for us, as well as drinking water. We loved being disconnected and spending time together with our doggie. We hiked in the rain, drove to the local spots, and enjoyed cooking s’mores inside the cabin. We cannot wait to come back, one of our most favorite stays to date. Listening to the waterfall at night was so relaxing and peaceful. Thank you Rachel for checking on us and making us feel at home. We are now addicted to Pendleton blankets because of you. :-) we are counting down until our next visit at your cabin.

Mt Hood...Crystal Creek Cabin

Adorable Cabin in the Woods

This is an absolute GEM of a Hipcamp! Only about an hour outside of Portland and on the most beautiful piece of land. My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate Halloween weekend and have a woodsy escape to close out a season of outdoor adventures. The cabin is ADORABLE. It's lofted and has two small beds downstairs and one larger bed in the loft. The pillows and blankets are super comfortable. I took the best nap on the small bed with the window open because the sound of the creek outside was so relaxing. Electricity runs on a generator, but we found that we barely needed to use it and opted for the many candles and wood burning stove (which kept us toasty!) to carry us into the evening. There's a fire pit and plenty of firewood, which we used to cook up our dinner. The outhouse by the cabin is super clean and well lit. The space felt secluded and private. The cabin is also close to a lot of outdoor activities like Little ZigZag Falls, Mirror Lake Hike, Mt. Hood. We drove up to Timberline Lodge but it was already a little too snowy (drive was beautiful though!) We've already been talking about the next time we get to come back :) Thanks so much Rachel and Simon!

Wonderful getaway

This was a stunningly perfect two-day getaway for our family. The cabin is clean, comfortable, and situated next to a beautiful babbling brook. Rachel was super responsive and very easy to communicate with. Thank you for your hospitality!
