Romantic Mt. Hood Streamside Retreat, Hot Tub, BBQ, Fast WiFi. Pets Welcome, Ski

Camp Festivus is a unique 1926 Vintage cabin that has been thoughtfully restored, featuring a stone (Steiner) fireplace, reclaimed barnwood and 6 person hot tub all on a private creekside acre.

Challenge your nerve by swimming in Clear Creek or relax in the hot tub over looking the water. Indulge your inner slug, grab a book and read in the hammock.

Feeling lucky, you can try fishing in the back yard or walk across the street to see if they are biting in the Sandy river. Afterwards you can cook up what you catch at the outdoor fire pit or grill on our new Weber Connect, then fall asleep to the sound of water or gaze at the old growth trees or creek view from every window.

You can throw down your gear or tune your bike or skis in our large heated mudroom, and toast s'mores out back or come inside and listen to your favorite music via Spotify or watch a movie on one of our flat screen TV's. Do you want a bit more privacy for the adults, then the kids can go down to the comfy TV room with flat screen, dvd player and stereo, there are tons of pillows and fold out mats to relax, watch movies, or listen to music.

The iron and woodwork and much of the furniture have been custom designed and produced to maximize the beauty of the cabin as well as the surrounding area.

Camp Festivus, a place you can rest(ivus).

Great Weekend
House was even better than the beautiful pictures. Felt both spacious and cozy at the same time. The stream noise was a welcome natural background. Great sound system. Beds were comfortable. Host was quickly responsive and very friendly. Definitely recommend!!!

Bird lovers paradise
Loved relaxing and feeding all the beautiful birds occupying the property, especially the two geese and their two goslings. Our little Zippy got all excited to see the deer wandering around. Found wonderful BBQ just up the street and yummy chicken and dumplings just down the street. As always we had a quiet, relaxing stay.

Rustic and cozy
Everything was provided to enjoy your stay. Party of 5 and plenty of room. The only drawbacks were a very firm mattress in the master bedroom, and the small refrigerator. If you want to experience a slice of Mt Hood history stay here!

Relaxing Stay
We stayed at this cabin while we skied over the weekend. The stone fireplace was epic, we loved using it along with the hot tub for apres ski. The kitchen was well equipped to cook meals. Beds were cozy. We had a wonderful time and also enjoyed the Seinfeld references scattered throughout. The host was very accommodating with a late checkout - much appreciated!

Great Rustic Cabin That Needs Better Beds
We enjoyed the great view of the creek, the Jacuzzi, the well equipped kitchen, and the fireplace, but the beds were very uncomfortable and the cabin is not suitable for people who have mobility issues.

Wonderful Week at Clear Creek!
The cabin is charmingly rustic and comfortable. We spent the majority of our time on the porch relaxing with a view of the creek and listening to its soothing sounds as it bubbled over the rocks. And when we weren't on the porch we were down at the water or lounging in the hammock. The location is ideal - private, but close to everything. We truly enjoyed our time there.

Lovingly restored historic home in serene setting
A group of 6 of us including teens and adults stayed here over spring break. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The restored fireplace is gorgeous and perfect for taking the chill off of a long day playing in the nearby snow. Morning walks along the river were so tranquil. Well appointed kitchen and great location that is close to many amenities, but feels secluded. We will stay here again soon!

Ultimate Mount Hood Experience
We used this for a ski trip for a group of old friends and as a “welcome home” trip for my brother on military tour. It was excellent in all regards. The house, the creek outback and the hot tub were perfect. The beds are particularly restful after a long day skiing. No complaints whatsoever.

Biggest salamanders ever
We had such a good time. Zippy loves playing in the yard. This time he got to see his first crawdad and the biggest salamanders we have ever seen. He also enjoyed watching the baby trout swimming around. This is one of our favorite places in the world.

Most magic forest oasis
My friends and I could not get over how gorgeous this property is. It is the perfect place for a private, cozy weekend amidst the most lush PNW forest. The house is lovely and we had plenty of space for a group of 7 and a small dog. We WILL be back!! Host were also very quick to respond with questions and had thoughtful tips and instructions in the property book. We love camp festivus!!!

Amazing Girls Weekend!!
Camp Festivus was absolutely perfect and everything we could have ever wanted!! We spent the entire time outside from morning until night! Being steps away from the creek made it so we could hear it running anywhere from the home! So many thoughtful details throughout and working with Jeff was fantastic! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!!

Enchanted cabin in the woods
Camp Festivus is an almost perfect fusion of rustic and modern. The setting is so spectacular we hardly spent much time indoors. When we did, it was very comfortable and the kitchen appliances are excellent. Camp Festivus is also located conveniently near many beautiful trailheads. Ramona Falls is a lovely day hike and Zig Zag falls only takes about an hour. Our whole family (5 adults and 2 doggos) really enjoyed our stay. Camp Festivus for the Rest of Us! Thank you!!

Perfect mountain cabin for family and pups
Camp Festivus is nicely located about a mile away from the main highway on a creek. It’s got so much original character but is cozy and warm. The new appliances and upgraded heaters since our last stay a few years ago are fantastic additions. It’s about a 20 minute drive up the mountain to Government Camp and Summit/SkiBowl ski areas when the highway has snow. Pups are welcome but you do need to keep them off the furniture and beds or use the provided dog sheets and towels. Looking forward to another stay in the future.
