About this property

Romantic Mt. Hood Streamside Retreat, Hot Tub, BBQ, Fast Wi-Fi. Pets Welcome

Camp Festivus is a unique 1926 Vintage cabin that has been thoughtfully restored, featuring a stone (Steiner) fireplace, reclaimed barnwood and 6 person hot tub all on a private creekside acre.

Challenge your nerve by swimming in Clear Creek or relax in the hot tub over looking the water. Indulge your inner slug, grab a book and read in the hammock.

Feeling lucky, you can try fishing in the back yard or walk across the street to see if they are biting in the Sandy river. Afterwards you can cook up what you catch at the outdoor fire pit or grill on our new Weber Connect, then fall asleep to the sound of water or gaze at the old growth trees or creek view from every window.

You can throw down your gear or tune your bike or skis in our large heated mudroom, and toast s'mores out back or come inside and listen to your favorite music via Spotify or watch a movie on one of our flat screen TV's. Do you want a bit more privacy for the adults, then the kids can go down to the comfy TV room with flat screen, dvd player and stereo, there are tons of pillows and fold out mats to relax, watch movies, or listen to music.

The iron and woodwork and much of the furniture have been custom designed and produced to maximize the beauty of the cabin as well as the surrounding area.

Camp Festivus, a place you can rest(ivus).

Great Weekend
House was even better than the beautiful pictures. Felt both spacious and cozy at the same time. The stream noise was a welcome natural background. Great sound system. Beds were comfortable. Host was quickly responsive and very friendly. Definitely recommend!!!

Charming, peaceful, beautiful and perfect for relaxing
This place is amazing! Gorgeous historical cabin in a very convenient place to explore the Mt Hood area. The property is so gorgeous and the creek was beautiful. We loved the deck and hearing the creek at night when you are sleeping is so relaxing, I got the best sleep! The grill was so nice we cooked so much good food and had the best time just playing in the creek and catching minnows. The kids played badminton and played in the creek then we warmed up in the hot tub. I cant say enough about how great this place is. The bathrooms are all remodeled nicely with even a bidet! So fancy and unexpected. We cant wait to go back!

Great cabin right on a creek
My husband and I have been to Festivus a few times before and it has always been wonderful! This time we were there during a heat wave and even though the place doesn't have AC we were just fine. There are plenty of box fans and the house is totally in shade. The creek is so lovely and there are plenty of lakes nearby to keep us cool during the day. Jeff replied promptly when we needed him and even dropped off a charger we had left

Summer get away
This is one of favorite spots to get away too. From swinging in the hammock to listening to the creek. This place has everything including a hot tub and with the new renovation the fanciest toilet seats I've ever sat on. The cabin sits perfectly between the neighbors so you aren't on top of anyone. Very very quiet neighborhood.

Bird lovers paradise
Loved relaxing and feeding all the beautiful birds occupying the property, especially the two geese and their two goslings. Our little Zippy got all excited to see the deer wandering around. Found wonderful BBQ just up the street and yummy chicken and dumplings just down the street. As always we had a quiet, relaxing stay.

Rustic and cozy
Everything was provided to enjoy your stay. Party of 5 and plenty of room. The only drawbacks were a very firm mattress in the master bedroom, and the small refrigerator. If you want to experience a slice of Mt Hood history stay here!

Relaxing Stay
We stayed at this cabin while we skied over the weekend. The stone fireplace was epic, we loved using it along with the hot tub for apres ski. The kitchen was well equipped to cook meals. Beds were cozy. We had a wonderful time and also enjoyed the Seinfeld references scattered throughout. The host was very accommodating with a late checkout - much appreciated!

Great Rustic Cabin That Needs Better Beds
We enjoyed the great view of the creek, the Jacuzzi, the well equipped kitchen, and the fireplace, but the beds were very uncomfortable and the cabin is not suitable for people who have mobility issues.

Biggest salamanders ever
We had such a good time. Zippy loves playing in the yard. This time he got to see his first crawdad and the biggest salamanders we have ever seen. He also enjoyed watching the baby trout swimming around. This is one of our favorite places in the world.

Wonderful Week at Clear Creek!
The cabin is charmingly rustic and comfortable. We spent the majority of our time on the porch relaxing with a view of the creek and listening to its soothing sounds as it bubbled over the rocks. And when we weren't on the porch we were down at the water or lounging in the hammock. The location is ideal - private, but close to everything. We truly enjoyed our time there.

Most magic forest oasis
My friends and I could not get over how gorgeous this property is. It is the perfect place for a private, cozy weekend amidst the most lush PNW forest. The house is lovely and we had plenty of space for a group of 7 and a small dog. We WILL be back!! Host were also very quick to respond with questions and had thoughtful tips and instructions in the property book. We love camp festivus!!!

Enchanted cabin in the woods
Camp Festivus is an almost perfect fusion of rustic and modern. The setting is so spectacular we hardly spent much time indoors. When we did, it was very comfortable and the kitchen appliances are excellent. Camp Festivus is also located conveniently near many beautiful trailheads. Ramona Falls is a lovely day hike and Zig Zag falls only takes about an hour. Our whole family (5 adults and 2 doggos) really enjoyed our stay. Camp Festivus for the Rest of Us! Thank you!!

Amazing Girls Weekend!!
Camp Festivus was absolutely perfect and everything we could have ever wanted!! We spent the entire time outside from morning until night! Being steps away from the creek made it so we could hear it running anywhere from the home! So many thoughtful details throughout and working with Jeff was fantastic! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!!

About the host

Hosted by Jeffrey Kolwitz

Host profile image
Over the past several years, we have shared this retreat with a family that raised their now adult children coming up to Camp Festivus with their dogs. We have continued the long tradition with our two boys and our pup, and we continue to try to make our cabin a place for everyone to enjoy. We felt so lucky to have come across a property with such an amazing location as well as a great history, and we cherish the artistic stamp that our friends placed on it through its restoration. It always feels like home.

Why they chose this property

Living in Portland we wanted a place that would be easy for our family to use (don't enjoy long car rides), and we wanted a place that we would all enjoy. The year round access to the outdoors around Mt. Hood has to offer is unbelievable. Our cabin is so close to everything (hiking, biking, skiing, restaurants, coffee, etc. But it is still so private and secluded; it's the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Right on Clear Creek, old growth trees, wildflowers, options to eat indoors or outdoors at the custom built picnic table on the deck overlooking the water. Two flat screen TV's, Blu-ray, and 6 person hot tub. Fire pit. Hammock. The gentle sound of the water always present. A place for everyone.
