About this property

Luxury Mt. House Govt. Camp Holiday, Ski, Board, Hike, Wine! Sleeps 8, Dog ok

This custom-built cedar cabin is four stories high and is located at the 4000 foot level of majestic Mt. Hood. The eastern exposure and large windows bathe the interior with bight, natural light. The tall vaulted ceiling adds to the spacious feeling. A spiral staircase leads to the tower. It's a favorite area for viewing the alpenglow on Mt. Hood, enjoying a glass of wine, planning the next day's activities, reading or taking a nap near the wood stove. You are in the tree tops, eye-to-eye with the ravens. It's everyone's favorite spot.
Spring, Summer and Fall you can hike and bike many trails and lakes in the area.

We hired Jerry Gomes as our builder, not only because of his excellent reputation, but also because he was in charge of the quality restoration projects at historic Timberline Lodge. His touch is evidenced by the custom Timberline front door with its handmade wrought iron hardware and rams head knocker. He hand-selected the blue pine used for the interior. Since the cabin was built it has been repeatedly updated and meticulously maintained.

On a warm day you can open the windows to allow the pine-scented alpine air to waft in. To take the chill away you can light a fire in the wood stove or simply turn up the thermostat for central forced air heat.

Summer or winter, outdoor activities, total relaxation, and lifelong memories are a certainty.

3rd stay at Ravens Nest
Great location! A short walk to town and trails. Private feel. Very comfortable, clean home. Best bed I’ve slept on in Govy. The only thing that would have made the stay better… if Mother Nature would have blessed us with better weather

Fabulous cabin perfect distance to everything
This cabin is beautifully decorated and has everything you might need: logs for the fire, utensils and tools and such for the kitchen, and beautiful art and historic photos from throughout Oregon. It doesn’t get much better than this. Walking distance from Glade Trail and from Govy, you barely need a car. We had a lovely time. Thank you!

Great Cabin for a Get Away

Cozy cabin with unbeatable location
Loved the cabin! It was so cozy and clean. We felt right at home. It was perfect for our trip. Within walking distance into Government Camp, and very short drive to Timberline, Skibowl and various snowshoe trails in the area. The host was great to communicate with which made the check in and check out process very smooth.

Perfect location
This house was perfect for our stay. We only had to drive to drop the kids off at Skibowl. Otherwise we walked to restaurants and we walked to the Glade Trail trailhead for sledding and snowshoeing. Great communication with the owner. My teen boys loved the tower and my husband and I loved sleeping in in the darked lower level. The kitchen was cozy and would’ve been a bit tight if we had more people staying with the 4 of us, but it was well stocked and we had any tool or appliance we needed. We would definitely stay again!

Memorable and Perfect
Our family had a very memorable stay in this beautifully appointed cabin. The sleeping arrangements, the amenities, the nice living room space and outdoor deck worked great for our group of eight. We had wonderful meals prepared in the kitchen and an incredible dinner at Timberline Lodge… It was very comfortable and loved the fact that we could walk up the road and hook on to Glade Trail for a great hike to Timberline … Such a beautiful setting, nice to smell the mountain air, moonlit skies and soft winds, blue jays in the trees.

About the host

Hosted by Heidi Lawrence

Host profile image
Signe Lawrence's father moved to Mt. Hood in the late 1930's. He owned and operated a ski shop in the winters and conducted horse pack trips around Mt. Hood in the summers. In 1948 he married my mother and, as they say, the rest is history. Signe grew up in Government Camp. She says she feels fortunate that our family loves the mountain as much as I do with all the year-round recreational opportunities it has to offer. Now our children and grandchildren look forward to their trips to the mountain to play, breathe the alpine air, and feel more relaxed than ever in the high altitude. Current owners, Bradley and Heidi Lawrence own the Lawrence Gallery Sheridan in the wine country as well as this lovely mountain home. We hope one day our children will continue on this legacy.

Why they chose this property

The cabin is built on land that has been in the family since the 1930's. I grew up in the shadows of Mt. Hood, learned to ski on the nearby slopes, and hike most of the trails on the mountain. It is a recreational wonderland. Those fortunate enough to experience this place develop memories to last a lifetime.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is a five minute walk from the Government Camp town center as well as the Mt. Hood National Forest Service boundary. By car or shuttle it is minutes away from Timberling Lodge and three major ski resorts. In the summer, it is a beautiful area for backpacking, day hiking, kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking and any manner of outdoor activities. An action park with an alpine slide, go carts, bungee jumping and other activities is available for entertaining kids. Wild flowers abound throughout the summer depending on the altitude and wild huckleberries may be picked in the late summer.
