50mi from Klickitat · 1 site · Lodging · Rhododendron, OR

I grew up in the Philadelphia area and in 2002, I followed my calling and moved out to Portland, OR. I am a nature lover and enjoy everything that the Pacific Northwest has to offer -- the mountains, unlimited hiking and biking trails, beautiful lakes and rivers. Not to mention the abundance of good IPAs, coffee and delicious food. Over the years, I camped in several places in the area and always dreamed of owning a cabin near Mt. Hood. In 2008, my dream came true when I purchased my cabin and land in ZigZag. I am very excited to share this magical place with you and hope that you enjoy your time!

Afterwards you can cook up what you catch at the outdoor fire pit or grill, 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.

In addition, there is a bonus space downstairs with it own full sized day bed that stays nice and cool in the summer, but needs a little pre-heating in the winter months to be comfortable for most folks. Our family’s favorite thing about the main floor bedrooms is their proximity to the sounds of the creek. Thanks for considering staying at Camp Festivus. Camp Festivus, a place you can rest(ivus).

2 nights at Waterfall Sanctuary

The forest view cabin was cozy. We went in winter so bring some extra blankets and you’ll be set. We loved the trails around the property and the goats were so cute. Tyla gave us great recommendations for local restaurants that were delicious and the little cafe in the house was a great added bonus. We also did the sauna and it was amazing.

The cabin and area were beautiful and peaceful. I enjoyed sitting by the fire pit at night. The details were lovely including the lighting and back window facing the woods/hillside.

2 nights at Justesen Ranches

I have stayed with my wife here before, I have also camped on the property a few times. It has become one of my favorite places to get away. It’s very stress free, Amanda is a wonderful host and the place is quite frankly, stunning. I enjoy places of silence and few people, and this has both. And the stars, you just can’t get them any better than here. Fantastic. BF

Queen bed inside the cabin. There is a quilt and extra blankets.

Lovely time in a little cabin. The forest was peaceful and it was away from it all. The Wood Fired sauna was also really nice and watching the chickens and goats in the morning over coffee was super entertaining.

We had a lovely time at Waterfall Sanctuary, and we hope to stay again next time we are out in the gorge. Tyla has done a great job developing beautiful campsites. The cabin we stayed in was nestled in the trees so we had plenty of space and privacy. And, we slept great! Thank you for a wonderful time!

Weekend Trip to Waterfall Sanctuary

Tyla's tiny cabin was a perfect home base for our hiking holiday weekend! The large king size bed was great, and the hot shower at the end of a long day outside was a luxury. The toilets were kept clean all weekend. We could hear the neighboring sites here and there but all of our fellow campers were very respectful so the noise never disrupted our peaceful stay. It was so relaxing taking a post-hike nap with the sun streaming in the cabin windows, falling asleep to the birdsong and goats bleating and the rooster crowing. The path up to the cabin felt steep after a long day on your feet but it was worth it for the additional privacy. The space was intimate but just big enough for two adults, our medium sized dog, and all of our hiking gear. Highly recommended as a base camp for your outdoor adventures!

This is the perfect place if you need to get away from it all. Close to great hikes and the Timberline Lodge for a one-of-a kind stop, plus skiiing. The place feels much bigger than the size and it had everything I needed. I will definitely come back.

Weekend Trip to Little House On The Mountain

Our weekend getaway at Susan's little cabin was absolutely perfect. We are already planning another trip to stay there again. It was nice to have a comfortable place to relax after trekking around the Hood area. The amenities were all we could have asked for, with a little stove top for cooking, a nice hot shower and clean towels to warm us up after a cold day of hiking on the mountain, and a cute little wood burning stove to add to the ambiance. The place was stocked with cooking utensils and pots and pans and dishes and silverware so we didn't have to worry about anything but the food. The bed was quite comfortable and we both slept well both nights we were there. Thank you Susan for the lovely getaway.
