Two Great Mt. Hood National Forest Cabins
Have you ever thought about buying a leased land cabin in the Mt. Hood National Forest? Skiers and snow boarders who visit the Government Camp area in the winter often find these forest cabins a much more affordable choice than the condos and larger homes in the snow zone of the mountain. Here are two great cabins currently for sale:
Located near Rhododendron and pretty good winter access for skiers: This cabin has a newer addition with an updated kitchen, two full bedrooms and a loft that kids go crazy over! It's located on the Zig Zag river. A hot tub comes with the cabin too. $130,000

This classic original has one of the most amazing fireplaces on forest service land. It goes from floor to ceiling. The cabin has very tall ceilings and all updated windows too. It's not too far from the slopes and entire ski teams would stay in this cabin when competing on Mt. Hood. The Zig Zag river is steps from the cabin and a big detached deck is perfect for summer barbeques. Government Camp is only about seven minutes away for skiing. $180,000.
