If you've been following the CFA (Cabin Fee Act) for the National Forest cabins on Mt. Hood, you would be interested to know that a cabin owner, Doug Gann, had an opportunity to present a testimonial before Congress  yesterday. He did a great job in summing up the concerns and arguments for the Act.

I'll keep you posted with any news on CFA.

Mt. Hood Cabin Sales

by Liz Warren

Mt. Hood National Forest Cabin sales hit a total of five over the past four months. Despite the colder weather of winter we saw buyers ready to purchase, mostly with cash, in todays Mt. Hood real estate market.  Many of these national forest cabins had been for sale over a year so the pricing points were finally hitting the area where buyers were ready to take action. Mt. Hood cabins are located on leased land and are not available for traditional bank financing. Tightening of credit had pinched off some alternative sources of cash for buyers of these charming cabins. Although prices for sellers have taken a big hit like all real estate, a Mt. Hood cabin is a wonderful choice for a second home on Mt. Hood. The pristine settings on Zig Zag River, Camp Creek or Still Creek in Rhododendron and the Government Camp area make for a wonderful natural setting for a getaway.

Mt. Hood National Forest Cabin Fee Act

by Liz Warren

Many Mt. Hood National Forest cabin owners and potential buyers are familiar with the Cabin Fee Act. This has been a long term project in getting control of the escalating yearly permit fees charged by the Feds for a cabin owner to have their cabin on National Forest lands. Current permit fees are based on 5% of the appraised value of the land.

Higher land values over the past 20 years have caused these fees to escalate at a rapid rate causing many owners financial duress in keeping their cabins year after year. The current recession hasn't been kind as many cabin owners have been forced to sell due to higher fees. 

​The National Forest Cabin Fee Act has been presented to the legislature through the political action group called the Cabin Coalition 2. This act is an alternative to the current fee structure the forest service is operating under. 

Updates on current action in the house and senate may be viewed here.
