The Space

Built in cedar.
Quiet by design.

The Cedar House sits at the end of a quiet road, about a hundred yards from a trailhead that climbs through second-growth fir toward the river. The exterior is unfinished cedar that has weathered into a soft grey; the interior is warm white oak, wool, and big windows that pull the forest inside.

A wood-burning stove anchors the living room. The deck wraps two sides of the house and looks out over the canopy — coffee in the morning, hot tub at night, the river somewhere in the distance. There is no television in the main room; there are books, a record player, and a long table built for slow dinners.

We restored the cabin in 2021 with help from a local builder and a friend who designs hotels for a living. It sleeps six comfortably across three bedrooms. We host here ourselves a few weekends a year — everything in the house is something we use and love.

★★★★★
"The hot tub overlooks the trees, and the wood stove kept things cozy on a 40° morning. We left wanting to move to Hood River."

★★★★★
"Worked remote from the desk for three days then took the kids hiking. The Wi-Fi was better than at home, and the bunk room was a hit. We're already planning a return."
David R. · October 2025
★★★★★
"Quiet road, real coffee, a stack of vinyl, and the best linen sheets I've slept on in any rental. The owners left a hand-drawn map of their favorite trail — we did all four."
