Laughing Bear Log Cabin, historical, sleeps 8, full kitchen, 2 dining areas!!

Laughing Bear Cabin is a historic piece of Mt. Hood, Oregon’s rustic
beauty. The Steiner family, who also helped to build Timberline Lodge
in Oregon, built the cabin in 1930. Located under old an growth canopy,
next to Zig Zag River and Still Creek, in Rhododendron on 1/4 acres of
private land, at the 1,500-foot elevation. We now have wifi. This is a non-smoking
facility. Ashtrays are provided outside on the covered back deck.
Some pets are negotiable and require an additional fee.
WE ARE PET FRIENDLY WITH A $100 FEE. PLEASE NOTE; IF YOUR PET IS A SERVICE ANIMAL OR A COMFORT PET, DO NOT FILL "CHECK THE BOX FOR PETS!" RATHER, PUT THAT INFORMATION WITHIN THE DESCRIPTION OF YOUR REQUEST.
Laughing Bear has 1,300 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms, 1
½ bath, a river rock fireplace, woodstove, propane furnace, hot tub
with jets, and all-season barbeque deck, and a fully equipped kitchen
with all the modern amenities you would find in any modern home
including a coffee grinder and a bread maker. There are
accommodations for 8 people with 3 double beds, 2 singles, and a
futon. Among other amenities there is also a washer/dryer, TV/VCR/DVD,
stereo/CD player.
We provide all the towels, linens, extra blankets, extra pillows,
sleeping bags, and some toiletries.
We also have some family movies on DVD and VHS, board games,
puzzles, books, and toys.
Mt. Hood has some of the best snow park activities available with
snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, and much more. It also

Overflowing with Rustic Charm!
This was a perfect place to stay for a few days in the drippy Pacific NW forest, just minutes from Mt. Hood, convenient retail and dining. Although we could hear highway noise, it was blended with the rushing waters of the Zig Zag River only yards away, We felt cozy and secluded.

Excellent weekend at an excellent cabin!
We had a quick weekend getaway at Laughing Bear and had a great time. It was exactly what us friends needed. The cabin was full of charm and had everything we needed except an aux cord to listen to music on the stereo. Brad was easy to communicate with and everything was great!

A True Steiner Cabin
If you want to stay in a real and unique Steiner Cabin then this is your place. If you don't want to try and figure out how to open every single door in the place, have the owner make you sign your life away, be surrounded by clutter and have to take a shower before you walk outside in the cold to the hot tub, then it might not be your place.

Cute Christmas Cabin
Loved the stay here! It was exactly as described. Decorated for Christmas and everything! Hot tub was great AND hot chocolate by the fire. Super cozy and close to so many winter activities! Wish check in had been a little earlier, it was a little difficult in the dark but overall an excellent experience!

A Perfect Forest Retreat
Laughing Bear was such a beautiful property in a beautiful setting. Quiet, calm, serene. We absolutely loved our stay and the cabin itself, and the owner was very easy to communicate with if we needed anything at all. The town is charming and tiny, and really it was just a great way to spend time with someone you love.
