Laughing Bear Cabin is a historic piece of Mt. Hood, Oregon’s rustic
beauty. The Steiner family, who also helped to build Timberline Lodge
in Oregon, built the cabin in 1930. Located under old an growth canopy,
next to Zig Zag River and Still Creek, in Rhododendron on 1/4 acres of
private land, at the 1,500-foot elevation. We now have wifi. This is a non-smoking
facility. Ashtrays are provided outside on the covered back deck.
Some pets are negotiable and require an additional fee.
WE ARE PET FRIENDLY WITH A $100 FEE. PLEASE NOTE; IF YOUR PET IS A SERVICE ANIMAL OR A COMFORT PET, DO NOT FILL CHECK THE BOX FOR PETS! RATHER, PUT THAT INFORMATION WITHIN THE DESCRIPTION OF YOUR REQUEST.
Laughing Bear has 1,300 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms, 1
½ bath, a river rock fireplace, woodstove, propane furnace, hot tub
with jets, and all-season barbeque deck, and a fully equipped kitchen
with all the modern amenities you would find in any modern home
including a coffee grinder and a bread maker. There are
accommodations for 8 people with 3 double beds, 2 singles, and a
futon. Among other amenities there is also a washer/dryer, TV/VCR/DVD,
stereo/CD player.
We provide all the towels, linens, extra blankets, extra pillows,
sleeping bags, and some toiletries.
We also have some family movies on DVD and VHS, board games,
puzzles, books, and toys.
Mt. Hood has some of the best snow park activities available with
snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, and much more. It also
provides over 2,000 miles of hiking trails, horseback riding, golfing,
hot spring soaking, water sports and fishing at the numerous lakes and
rivers in the area. All these only minutes away from the cabin. Some

    IT was OK for our stay. Stairs need some work. No lights in the hot tub area which is not close to cabin. I personally would not stay here again. Owner was nice but should check condition of cabin. Could be beautiful but needs some work.

    This was the perfect mountain cabin! I loved the squeaky floors and doors. Wish the windows opened to bring in the fresh mountain air but the two doors had screens so that worked.

    Considering this place looks hand built, it's in pretty good shape. Upstairs has soft spots, but we ended up avoiding due to my service dog being unwilling to go up them. The place was clean, free of pests, and overall a very comfortable stay.Where this place shines is in the communication with the host. Brad was very responsive and accommodating. Friendly and professional. Overall, very happy with our stay from beginning to end!

    We had a great time staying in this historic cabin. Check-in instructions were very clear and we had no problems. We did contact Brad about arrival time and he was very responsive. As advertised, the cabin is rustic. But the shower had lots of pressure and hot water! There were plenty of electric outlets. We loved that it was just a short walk to the pedestrian bridge over the ZigZag River to Fernies Coffee. Days were spent at The Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood, Government Camp (Huckleberry Shakes and Charlie’s!), and Lake Trillium. One caution about the cabin, there is a lack of storage. The downstairs bedroom does have a small space to hang items, but nearly all dressers contain bedding. Easy to keep things in the suitcase and stored under the bed, though. And do take the warning of wildlife seriously. Our (adult) kids were walking down the street at night and saw a bear. He saw them and ran into the neighbor’s yard.Overall, a nice time here at Laughing Bear.

    Absolutely adored this place, we could not have been more pleased. Walking distance to a dog friendly coffee shop, Fernies, suspension bridge over a river, roaring river sounds in the hot tub, mountain air with a 100% true cabin experience. Lots of space for 5 adults, 13 and 3 year old. Very quiet road as well. Short driving distance to Lake Trillium and Mt. Hood. I can’t begin to express how happy I am to have found this, it was exactly what we wanted. The host was extremely communicative as well. A

    A group of 7 friends and I stayed at this cabin during our university's spring break to get some fun skiing in at Hood. The cabin itself is very clean and cozy but unique in its log cabin design and layout. It was definitely a little tight with 8 people, but if your all good friends, it's not a problem. The area is beautiful and feels more secluded than it actually is.

    Really cool old cabin that seems to be very much original. A few updates like electricity and heat, and indoor plumbing (unlike my grandma's old cabin). Location is close to everyplace we wanted to go, and features a very short walk to the river and footbridge. Cozy, but not too small. Comfortable beds, plenty of seating. We really enjoyed our stay!

    We had a wonderful stay. As advertised, an historic cabin with lots of unique features and charm. Not for you if you want a new, modern feel, but wonderful if you want a memorable place with character. A bit quirky but has everything you need. Beautiful setting, enjoyed the hot tub under huge trees with sound of the stream. Would stay again.
