About this property

Comfortable, elegant, fun cabin with private hot tub, fire pit, pool table

Historic Steiner cabin in the Mountain Air community. It was built in 1925 but it boasts everything a house in 2023 should have.

Located just a short walk down from the cabin is the Sandy River. There is a nice trail with a bench along the river, and sandy beaches that all provide plenty of places for you to fish or meditate and your dog to chill and enjoy the smells and scenery.

Just across the street is the Wildwood Recreation Day Use Site. It is located on the Salmon River.

It is the perfect place for any age!

Informational and historical plaques describe the ecosystems and local culture, and it features plenty of daytime waterfront picnic sites.

The highlight is the underwater viewing chamber where you can witness the mama salmon heading to their nesting grounds, and the baby fry just getting started out in life.

The park itself if ginormous and and has plenty of paved ADA trails for older adults. Biking trails are available as well. The boardwalk beaver wetlands that is full of red wing black birds is also a top favorite.

The property is a perfectly flat half acre with lots of 80-100 year old trees and 2 open lawn spaces on which to play badminton, volleyball, whiffle ball, fetch, etc.

The kitchen comes fully stocked and there is a Weber gas grill on the front deck, as well as outdoor dining furniture/dishes.

The bedding is cozy and luxurious on all the beds - a good night's sleep is important when you're adventuring.

One of the bedrooms is in the rec-room outbuilding, which also boasts a full bar, pool table, HDTV smart Samsung, new gaming systems, stereo, and a private courtyard with a fire pit and hot tub - this place was built for partying, to be honest. Great place for teens to have a good time with their friends as well!

There is wifi all over the property and the internet is blazing fast (google's words, not mine).

Wood pellet stoves in both buildings provide the coziness of a wood stove without any hassle of starting a fire yourself.

The location is excellent; in the summer time, it's a scenic walk down Wemme Trail or Mountain Air to get to the restaurant district in Welches; in the winter time, we are 13 miles from Ski Bowl, 20 miles to Timberline, and 25 miles to Mt Hood Meadows.

Mountain biking, snow shoeing, skiing, hiking, fishing, and mountaineering are some of the top activities in this area.

Sandy Ridge Bike Park is less than a 10 minute drive.

The house is close to the highway, but the trees are so dense that it is perfectly quiet in the house and outside it's muffled and just sounds windy during the busiest times.

The weekends are a bit louder since there is so much more traffic, but there is so much to do in the house’s immediate vicinity that finding peace and quiet is never challenging.

Rad spot
Such a rad spot! Short walk to the river for a nice polar plung! Kitchen was very well stocked with pans/utensils/coffee press so we were easily able to cook our meals. The rec house really did have it all. We went to the mountain to just chill and we had a blast playing pool, games, and hanging out here. You don't have to leave unless you want to. Thanks for having us!!

Disappointing
The cabin is advertised as 4 bedrooms but is only 3 bedrooms. Also listed as air conditioned, it is not. There was a single ac unit in the upstairs bedroom. The cupboards and closets had random items and decorations stuffed in them. This gave a sense of uncleanliness. The towels had stains and there were also items left in the dryer. The cabins log stairway has several steps at the top of the stairs that are split making them unsteady and a danger to the guests. There were several signs of neglect and deferred maintenance throughout. We did contact host regarding the bathroom drains and did receive a timely response. The rec house is a wonderful space, but found out the ac was not working. After contacting host, told it was out of Freon and the unit needed to be replaced. A problem as it was 90°+ during our stay. Host did offer to fix it, but that would have interrupted our family time. The roof clearly had a leak with open holes in the ceiling and a horrid musty smell. Cameras inside, creepy! The main deck several patio chairs that collapsed when you sat in them and the hammock pad was soiled and split. We planned meals for the bbq but had to adjust the flow regulator and light manually. After partially cooking a meal the tank ran out of gas! Also, there was an old wire BBQ brush that is a health hazard if a wire ingested. The hot tub area lighting was inadequate and unsafe. Area had sharp metal left items laying around that could injure pets. Host needs to do better.

Summer Stay
The home was lovely. Only issues I would note is the hot tub was not clean (lots of dirt in water and the seats looked as though it hadn’t been cleaned in a long time, also there was a filmy look on the water surface), there was an excessive amount of cameras in the rec room, and no usable outlet in the bathroom.

Not what I expected
I was excited about this property since it had exceptional reviews, but was very disappointed. The pictures made it look a lot more inviting than it is. The cabin and cottage were very dirty, including black/grey fuzzy mold growing in large patches on the ceiling of the cottage. We spent no time in the cottage due to that. It seems like quite a health hazard to me. I understand it's an old property, but I felt dirtier than if I was just camping in a tent. The bbq would not light, so we were unable to use it. Maybe I have high standards, but this property was dirty, falling apart and the beds were very uncomfortable. I cannot recommend or give this any kind of exceptional rating.

Perfect launching point
Our group was myself, my daughter and her husband and their 13 year old daughter. We did a lot of exploring in the Oregon City/Clackamas area and even made a trip into downtown Portland to visit Powell bookstore. The property had everything we needed. Ample places to sleep. My granddaughter enjoyed the gaming system and we had fun tring to teach her to play pool and playing Charades. We even hot-tubbed in the rain! This was my second time at this cabin and both trips were very enjoyable.

Couldn’t get the pellet stove to work in the rec house and the water in the shower only got Luke warm but none of that made a difference really. The cabin was amazing and we had a wonderful time! We will most definitely be back!

Such a cozy little place ❤️
My partner and I took our first real get away here and had an amazing time as the cabin is super cozy. I really liked the little touch of lights throughout in the evening. The kitchen is well stocked as is the bathroom. Downstairs bedroom also cozy right off the living room. You have to go thru the rec room to get to the private back yard that has a hot tub so we didn’t take advantage of that during our short stay. We overall enjoyed the space and location on the mountain.

Historic cabin in sweet location—picturesque Thanksgiving getaway
This sweet Steiner cabin was wonderful for our stay over Thanksgiving. The kitchen has plenty of pans and dishes to prepare a nice, complete dinner. The upstairs and main house bedrooms were very cozy, and the spacious bathroom suited our family. Renters should know that getting and keeping the pellet stove in the recreation building going is an involved process. We didn’t brave the incinerator toilet in the rec building. I wouldn’t really count that as a second bathroom as it’s only the incinerator toilet and no running water to wash up with.

Wonderful start but not as advertised
We loved the location and the game room. This led to a very relaxing weekend. However, we initially chose this property because it said it has 2 full baths and there were 2 couples (always nice to have your own space and privacy). We did not find 2 full bathrooms but rather 1 full bathroom and a composting toilet (I think, required changing a bag with each use) without a shower or sink as listed. This was disappointing with all of the other great features of this property.

Not 2 bathrooms
Overall very nice and loved the location, beautiful shady cottage close to what we were interested in. Nicely stocked kitchen and appliances. Coffee maker wasn’t working but coffee places are right up the road. Hot tub and pool table and video games were a nice perk. Disappointed that we partly based our decision to book this based on 2 bathrooms, which, according to the listing, both had a toilet, tub-shower combination, and sink. There is only one bathroom. And then some type of incinerator toilet in the rec room, which was very weird and nobody used. No running water in the rec building either. We expected both. The outside string lighting above the deck did not work, it was hard to grill outside if it was getting dark. Overall a very nice place. I would change the description in the listing to one full bathroom, however.

Great cabin getaway
We enjoyed this cabin! We played pool, soaked in the hot tub, watched TV, played games, ate good food in the area and relaxed. It was a little adventure figuring out which light switch worked for each room. Also enjoyed the glowing ceiling in the downstairs bedroom. It is a truly lovely historic cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Ferry

Host profile image
I was born in Northern California (Siskiyou County) and have always lived in the "State of Jefferson". I moved to SW Oregon as a young child and have been an Oregonian ever since. After attending the University of Oregon, I served 8 years in the Oregon Air National Guard before accepting a position at Intel and eventually getting into the vacation rental business, after realizing that most of the properties available in the area were too overpriced to enjoy the Mt. Hood area as much as I would like to.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property because it has essentially unlimited potential for beautiful landscaping. It's very nice and comfortable, but not so nice that I have to worry myself sick about wear and tear. I want everyone to have access to relaxing vacations in the area.

What makes this property unique

My favorite thing about the property is all the trees surrounding the house; I just find large trees to be a relaxing and soothing presence. I fell in love with the house when looking at the beautiful brick facade in the front of the house (from Wemme Trail) among all of the native undergrowth landscaping. Honestly, the house would have been enough to sell me on the property, but it also has this awesome rec room with a beautiful bar, a pool table, and nice living area/theatre. The private courtyard and hottub set this place apart from any property in Welches.
