There are few places in North America more breathtaking than Mount Hood. Oregon’s highest Mountain is a wonder of natural beauty, where a perpetually snow covered peak rises above a verdant landscape.
Throughout the year, skiers visit the Mount Hood meadows to tackle its many runs; while in summer, hikers explore the surrounding trails and others flock to enjoy the waters of the Columbia River Gorge.

The 8 best Airbnb homes in Bend, Oregon!
It is a place of immense scale and wildlife, and the grandeur is reflected in the impressive homes that dot the area. Here are some of our favourite.
A contemporary chalet for $975 per night
The Talon is a contemporary chalet in Government Camp, the closest town to Mount Hood and therefore the de-facto ‘ski town’. The home is ideal for anyone who wants to hit the slopes, but you may struggle to leave after stepping inside.
A large portion of the house is covered in large windows, providing views to the vast natural landscape that surrounds the chalet. An outdoor deck brings in the surrounding forest, encouraging you to venture into the wild.
Breathtaking views of the Columbia River for $750 per night
A home located in an area of unmatched beauty should exist to let the landscape in, not shut it out. This palatial retreat, located above the Columbia River Gorge, is a contemporary marvel of steel and glass that achieves this by offering expansive, unobstructed views of the surrounding valley.
The inside of the home features an enormous open plan living area and kitchen, made even more impressive by sky-high, vaulted ceilings. Each bedroom is positioned to ensure guests wake up to the mountains, rivers and vistas of the surrounding landscape, while a steam room adds a further touch of luxury.
A traditional lodge ideal for skiers for $675 per night
We’ll be the first to admit that the word ‘awesome’ is thrown around a bit too liberally these days. However, the adjective, used in its true definition, is sometimes all that will do. This grand chalet, a towering A-frame lodge with mammoth vaulted ceilings and a stories-high, stone fireplace is, we’re pleased to inform you, truly awesome: as in, you will be awe-struck, awe-inspired, and awe-whatever-you-like by the sight of it.
Located in Government Camp, the four bedroom home sleeps 12 and is perfect for skiers who want to tackle the numerous runs of Mount Hood or polish their ski/snowboard tricks in the nearby SkiBowl (which you can also enjoy at night).
Another living space and the rest of the bedrooms are cloistered throughout the A-frame structure, while a fully-stocked kitchen and sun splashed deck are perfect for apres-ski activities.
