Rhododendron, Oregon
Silver Cedars Cabin is located 10 miles from Government Camp/Mt Hood along Lolo Pass Road in Zig Zag Village right on the Sandy River. The cabin is situated at the end of a road with spectacular views into a 22 acre wooded parcel and a year-round creek. The cabin is completely renovated as of January 2009 (only the framing is original). The cabin has a modern/rustic feel with hand-made custom furniture, unique flooring and one of a kind concrete countertops with recycled glass. You can also relax on the large deck (partially covered) on the side and back of the cabin with a view of the creek and a hot-tub.
The master bedroom is an open loft upstairs with a queen bed and a pull-out futon single bed. The downstairs bedroom also has a queen bed. The living room has a queen-size sofa bed.
The Sandy River is right across the street. There are plenty of trails within walking distance and a community pool/tennis courts just down the road. The ski resorts, including Ski Bowl and Summit Ski Resort and the turn off for Timberline, are just 10 miles away. Cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, bike riding and hiking are literally just feet from the cabin.
The National Forest boundary is just a few miles away where you can hike to waterfalls, snowmobile and get views of Mt Hood. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from in the towns of Welches, Zig Zag and Rhododendron. The closest grocery store is just 3 miles away. The Resort at the Mountain Golf Course is approximately 5 miles away.
There is a hard drive at the cabin with over 300 movies, including the latest releases and kid movies. Internet is available as well. The kitchen is equipped with a drip coffee maker, french press, pancake machine, Quesadilla Maker, crock pot, condiments, spices, coffee, tea and hot chocolate. For the kids, there is a farm animal waffle maker and a toaster that puts a Mickey Mouse face on the toast. We also have Legos, Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys, and lots of games.

Nice cabin which includes a separate bedroom below and a bedroom in a loft which opens to the common area. One bathroom. We had no issues with anything (though kitchen sink faucet needs o-ring replacement and leaks a little). Close to west side Mt Hood Hiking Trails/Salmon River. The property is located in a development of houses that appear to be a combination of owner occupied and vacation rental. I had read previous reviews and was concerned about privacy prior to renting. The back of the property is private and wooded but there are two other cabins (front and side which are very close). Neither of these happened to be occupied during our stay fortunately but the pictures don't really illustrate how close they are if you are looking for a complete back woods feel this property doesn't really have it..
The house is clean and comfortable. The location is good about 20min from Government Camp and 20min from Sandy. The hot tub on the deck is a major plus. Susan is a great host and is very responsive. Would recommend to others.
This was a pleasant and uncomplicated stay in a well apportioned cabin with easy access to fun in the snow and a delightful hot tub to enjoy! The hosts communicated clearly and check in and check out was simple. The only thing I would mention to hosts is that my very tall husband was immediately aware of how dusty higher places were: dust and cobwebs hanging from the skis over the couch, and the overhead fans had such thick dust buildup we decided not to turn them on at all!
Nice place, the owner's didnt have their dates right so it was not ready for us. That bothered me. First time that has happened and ive been using vrbo for quite a while.
This is the 2nd time my family has stayed here, we love it! The location is beautiful and the home clean, well stocked for items you may have forgotten. I'm sure we will be back again!
Comfortable cabin in a densely wooded neighborhood within walking distance of the Sandy River. Despite other cabins nearby, it was extremely private with a seasonal creek flowing within feet of the back deck and very convenient access to local hiking trails and good restaurants. The owner was very helpful and accommodating. We would definitely stay there again!
This is probably our 5th or 6th time staying at this property in the last 10 years. Great location in an ideal setting backing up to gorgeous mountain forest views. Owner is wonderful and has great communication. Well taken care of property. Has everything you need and more. Our kids 4 and 8 months loved our stay. Would definitely recommend to friends 10/10.
We really enjoyed out stay in the woods. The cabin had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The location was convenient and we loved the little creek in the back. We would stay again!
We wanted to be surrounded by wilderness and beauty and this place definitely delivered. There was great food nearby and Mount Hood right up the road for picture perfect scenery. We loved everything about this stay. The toilet handle was loose and needed care when using to ensure a flush was achieved and that the toilet didn’t run. Other than that, we had no issues. We would definitely stay here again and suggest anyone else to as well. There was a super easy binder with instructions from the owners on what they expected while we were there and what to do before we left. It was very helpful. We will always cherish the memories we made at this location.
The cabin is a sweet place, with nice touches. It has a great layout, making it comfortable for a weekend. We loved the hot tub and all the windows with views of the woods.
We have stayed in a lot of cabins. This figures among the best. First, the construction of the cabin. This one shows us how, for a given footprint, a cabin can be built and furnished to give a sense of spaciousness and coziness at the same time. The glass panes around kitchen is a genuinely great idea, giving you the view of the woods while cooking. The thoughtfulness doesn't end there. Deck with a covered portion and open area, a pine tree through the open area of the deck, strung tungsten lights around the deck, living room with pullout which is spacious (not just to get by), movie collection that can put Netflix streaming to shame, dining table which is a crafted slab of an old trunk including its cracks and rough edges polished to perfection, unique flooring, spacious shower with windows that give you a feeling of showering in the wilderness, yet with plenty privacy, and the best of all, sliding mirrors behind bathroom sink which doubles as window that opens out the woods while you brush in the morning. It brought back memories of being at my granny's backyard, but with modern amenities. The loft/mezzanine area is perfect for kids with a bed and a pullout sofa. Doors open to a balcony that gives you a feeling of being in a castle. The location is perfect for someone who would like to explore the Mt.Hood and Columbia River Gorge area. Although it is not far from civilization, it gives you the seclusion of being in the wilderness. A small path that goes over a dried up stream (perhaps it flows in spring), can lead you into moss covered dense pine forest that can limit your view to less than 20 feet. A hammock next to the deck, a hot-tub on the deck, a patio set and a dining set on the deck completes your needs and your wants of staying in a perfect cabin for a family vacation, set away from the daily hustle and bustle. Did I mention that you have a full laundry and a decently equipped kitchen with dish washer, fridge/freezer with icemaker, a waffle maker and such? You gotta stay here. Thank you, Susan and Scott, for having thoughtfully done this! Only improvements I can suggest are, have a few clothes hooks in the bedroom/loft and replace the waffle maker if you can. Had a slightly hard time getting waffles off it :) Perhaps keeping a oil spraycan helps. We felt guilty getting water from shower spray on those nice wooden wall finish in the shower.
