With a private forested balcony, a wood-burning fireplace, and easy access to the surrounding ski slopes, this cozy Government Camp vacation rental will bring the atmosphere of a mountain cabin to your next Mt. Hood getaway. It's even dog-friendly for your furry friends!

Conveniently located in the historic town of Government Camp, this spacious three-level condo is only half a mile from Mt. Hood Skibowl East, one mile from Skibowl West, and six miles from the slopes of Timberline Lodge and Ski Area.

Whether you're helping the kids gain their footing or organizing an adventure for experienced skiers, the Edelweiss Retreat offers a generous floor plan, rustic touches, and plenty of entertainment for adults and children alike.

The main living space is warm and inviting after long days on the slopes, with plush sofas, exposed beam ceilings, and a stone fireplace. Curl up with a good book, organize a board game tournament, or screen your favorite film using the flatscreen TV, DVD player, and cable.

The open layout of the full kitchen and dining area create a space in which large groups can easily mingle, while the dishwasher eliminates lengthy clean-ups. With custom wood cabinetry and all major appliances, preparing meals for a hungry crowd will be easy here!

And there's no need to over-pack for this Mt. Hood getaway! There's a private washer and dryer for wet winter clothes, as well as wireless Internet to keep guests connected and engaged.

Groups of all sizes will feel at home at Edelweiss Retreat, which can accommodate as many as 12 guests. The main floor features one bedroom with a double bed and one full bathroom; on the second floor, there is a master bedroom with a queen bed and a balcony, a bedroom with two sets of twin-over-queen bunkbeds, and a second full bathroom.

Looking for a cozy sleeping spot perfect for kids? Ascend the ladders to the third floor to two loft's that each contains one twin bed. If you do choose to bring your dogs, there is just an additional fee.

A gateway to all things outdoors, Government Camp is beloved for its quaint and charming downtown, its proximity to ski slopes, and its gorgeous scenery in both winter and summer. A total of 65 ski runs for all skill levels are located just across Highway 26 at Mt. Hood Skibowl, while Timberline Lodge is famous for its 3,690 vertical feet and a gorgeous Depression Era lodge.

But try not to neglect the warm summer months, when you'll find one of the most spectacular views of Mt. Hood in the reflective waters of Trillium Lake less than four miles south. Plan a hike around picturesque Mirror Lake, then a lunch at Glacier Haus Bistro for pork belly pizza and a German brew.

No matter the season, this Mt. Hood vacation rental will treat your family and friends to an outdoor experience they'll never forget!
