Marmot House is a lush 13 acres of mostly old growth forest in the foothills of Mt. Hood, right on the Historic Oregon Trail. It is close to hiking, biking, and forested waterfalls a short drive away. We have beautiful short hikes on trails in our forest on the property. World class windsurfing 30 miles away in Hood River, as well as more amazing waterfall hikes in the Columbia River Gorge. The Sandy River recreation area is just up the road from us and we are 10 mins. from The Sandy Ridge Trail with its 17 miles of mountain bike trails. Each campsite is tucked in the woods and has access our communal fire pit at our gathering space. Our well water tastes amazing! The is not a developed campground, it is our home. We see ourselves as stewards of this hidden forest gem and welcome people to enjoy its beauty. We are avid campers and recently spend 9 months in our teardrop trailer off grid on public lands. Living here we are family of four plus one who all work from home, Arehn a spiritual life coach, who loves to cook, Jim a software engineer and disc golfer, sons Ian, software engineer and writer and Sam, Environmental Science major and elite level Ultimate frisbee player. Tom Brown III (T3), Nature Educator and professional Photographer, lives in a separate apartment on the property.

Safe, quiet place with beautiful trees all around. Friendly hosts responded quickly to messages and met us upon arrival to show us around. Clean outhouse down a beautiful trail, and a garden hose provided for fresh water. Would absolutely stay again.

Amazing property! Good sized camp sites for car camping/tents. This site is a bit more public and open to more foot traffic but still beautiful and makes it easier to head into town when needed! Trails on property were beautiful and have many things to stop and appreciate. Went through the left upper mountains into Sandy and the scenic route is definitely worth the views! Just be careful on the sharp turns
