About

In its post-war heyday, the Barlow Cabin—on the route of the historic Barlow Road in Government Camp—hosted everyone from Scandinavian royalty to the world’s top ski racers. Movie star Rock Hudson stopped in for a drink during the filming of Bend in the River (1952). The cabin was built in 1946 by Timberline Lodge’s first publicist, George Henderson, as a compact, convivial base camp and gathering place for skiers and climbers and, eventually, his own children and grandchildren. Now it's your turn to immerse yourself in Mt Hood history!

This pet friendly, rustic cabin offers Pendleton blankets, down comforters, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. There is also a smart TV with Hulu and wifi to stream. You can also hook up your iPod / iPhone to the stereo to play your choice of music. The Crosstown Trail, with its links to the Westleg Road and Glade and Alpine ski trails, is a short walk / ski away. Walk to dinner in Government Camp or stay in to cook in the small but well-equipped kitchen. On the walls are photos and memorabilia from the 1930s and ’40s depicting Government Camp’s emergence as a recreation destination. While you are visiting, be sure to page through George’s own Mount Hood memoir; Lonely On The Mountain.

The living room, kitchen, small bathroom with shower, and kids’ bedroom (bunk beds) are downstairs. Upstairs are three small bedrooms and a half-bath. One upstairs bedroom has twin beds, one has a queen bed, and the third bedroom has one queen bed and one twin. Capacity is limited to parties of eight or fewer.

Please note that the Barlow Cabin is not wheelchair accessible.

Rustic home with historic ties to timberline, and skiing in the area. Everything we needed for a great weekend.
Everyone was easy to deal with and very helpful!
Several restaurants within easy walk and decent grocery store.
Perfect central location for Timberline lodge, Trillium lake, Timothy lake and dozens of trails

We had a wonderful experience at the Barlow Cabin. We went there for a wedding on the mountain at Ski Bowl. It was wonderful and cold. How fun to come back to a cozy house with a fire and charm galore. We would definitely come back again. We love the history of the cabin! It was also well-stocked for cooking meals and very clean. Thank you for a great stay!

Barlow Cabin is cozy and quaint. We loved the historic feel. Plenty of space for our group of two couples and two kids. It had everything we needed for a fun ski weekend. A few notes: Lots of bedrooms, but there's just one shower, and if you're planning to cook gourmet meals, you may want to look elsewhere. The kitchen is surprisingly functional for its size, but lacks a fan over the stove (and there's no dishwasher). Also, no dishsoap was provided. Some of the outlets didn't work, along with the ceiling light in one upstairs bedroom (luckily we didn't need to use that room). I wish they had a door code so we didn't have to pick up the key in Welches, as some in our party were coming from Hood River. Overall, though, what it lacks in amenities, it makes up for in charm. We will be back!

Manager's Response

Lovely time as a historic cabin with all of the charm of Mt Hood. We listened to Christmas music, took walks, made a snowman, and enjoyed evening fires while the snow fell.

This is a sweet cabin with four bedrooms. It is VERY rustic. We had a problem with the wood burning stove--which let a ton of smoke into the house (and we moved flu, etc). This is a great place for skiers or snow shoeing to take off from.

Manager's Response

Hello Liz, thank you for the review! We did put some more clear instructions for fireplace usage at this home, we apologize for the problem. This home was built post-war and is an older historical home in Government Camp. Next time you book with us let us know you are a repeat customer and receive a valuable customer discount!

Summer stay. Great little vintage cabin. Comforting touches of vintage decor and history.
Equipped for a nice stay and easy walk to a store and restaurants.
Well maintained with subtle updates. Nice property to walk with the mornings first cup of coffee.
The driveway and parking can be tricky for multiple vehicles, no on-street parking.

We enjoyed our stay and the Barlow cabin. It is in a prime location to enjoy the area surrounding Mt Hood. It is as advertised and comfortable. That being said the property is older and has few amenities and a renter should be prepared for that. we used it as a place to rest after being outside hiking and sightseeing and not as a 24/7 hangout. The management company was fantastic and attentive to our needs, personable, and pleasant to deal with.

This is a rustic, cozy cabin! We enjoyed our stay here, with our boys. It had everything we needed, and was very clean. This is the perfect location for a snowboarding family: It's just a quick drive to Meadows and Timberline, and Ski Bowl is - quite literally - across the street.

We really enjoyed our time in Barlow Cabin and Government Camp! The cabin was nicely stocked. Loved the character and charm of the cabin. We also enjoyed being able to walk into town and to the tubing/skiing areas.
The only thing we wished we had were more outlets in the kitchen... With the fridge and freezer plugged in we only had 2 outlets for the coffee maker, grinder, microwave and toaster oven.
The cabin was clean, love the down comforters, the fireplace is a charmer and the entry room was great for stowing our cooler boxes and drinks! Would easily stay here again!
