A riverside cabin for $131 per night

Even the most boisterous children will feel a renewed sense of calm in this cabin, as the gentle whirl of the nearby Hood River ripples through the air. That, or they’ll be determined to make active use of the adjacent water. And why not indulge them? As this home is perfect for fishing in the summer.

Inside, the three bedroom home has a large living area with a fireplace, a foosball table and television. The fully equipped kitchen and dining area is ideal for family meals, while the surrounding outdoors provides space for play (and the private spa provides space to unwind).

The cabin, which sits on 1.3 acres, is two miles north of the town of Parkdale, where you can re-up on supplies at the local markets and dine at a handful of restaurants.

A log cabin where adventure awaits for $325 per night

This is definitely one of the best family friendly Airbnb homes in Mount Hood. The Yetti house is, as the name suggests, an appropriately large home surrounded by nature and the prospect of adventure. The traditional log cabin design harks to pioneer days, but features all the modern comforts you’d want on a family vacation, including a large communal area, open plan kitchen and hot tub.

The home will keep the kids occupied for hours thanks to the horse shoe pit, badminton and croquet sets, and the 2.5 acres of roaming space. If you’re looking to adventure further afield, the property is 15 minutes to the waters of Hood River and only a little further to the Mount Hood Meadows ski resort.

Back at the home, a barbecue, outdoor fridge and sink make for relaxing outdoor dinners, while a large deck lets you wind down under the sun. For colder evenings, there is an impressive outdoor pavilion with a wood burning fire. The town of Parkdale, where you can find shops, restaurants and wineries, is only five minutes away.

A spacious lodge with a game room for $378 per night

Mount Hood is an area of unmatched natural beauty. Snow-capped alpine vistas rise above verdant forests, while rushing streams dissect the lush meadows stretching along the Hood River. 

But you know how kids can be. Sometimes the majesty of mother nature can only hold their attention for so long, before they seek refuge on the comfort of digital distractions. Fortunately, this home is equipped with WiFi, flat screen TVs and a game room (boasting a pool table).

We’re not saying avoid the Oregon nature—the miles of trails, the fishing, the wildlife—or the quality family time in front of the fireplace or during dinners on the outdoor deck, we’re just saying in this home you can do both. When you’re on vacation as a family, balance is crucial. We think you’ll agree this is one of the best family friendly Airbnb homes in Mount Hood.

A modern mountain house for $422 per night

The rugged, wild landscape of Mount Hood doesn’t always lend itself to more contemporary forms of architecture. However, this modern space is the exception. The home blends the wood panels and high windows common in this area of Oregon with clean interior lines more indicative of midcentury forms.

Up to date touches fill the house, including a steam shower, double oven, bamboo floors and a radiant heating system. The wide open living area flows into the kitchen, making the downstairs an ideal spot for families to have dinner or relax in front of the fire.

The nearby Columbia River Gorge provides plenty of opportunity for fishing, kayaking and windsurfing; while winter provides plenty of skiing opportunities a short distance from the house.

Located in the Hood River Valley, summer will offer plenty of opportunities to pick fruit at the many orchards in the area. Which, if you ask locals, is one of the best ways to tire out the kids.

A farmhouse with room to entertain for $650 per night

Travelling with family? Travelling with a very large family? If the answer to both of those questions is ‘yes’, then you need to check out this seven bedroom farmhouse which can sleep 16.

Along with a large open plan kitchen and living area, the home boasts a spacious basement, two master bedrooms and plenty of room to gather—or to find a quiet corner. The kitchen is fitted with a large Sub-Zero fridge for anyone who needs to feed a large party, while the basement comes with a huge entertainment center.

A large patio, with views of the brilliant-white cap of Mount Hood, leads to an expansive lawn just waiting to cater to improvised ball games, tag or whatever else a kid’s mind could come up with.

This is the place for a family reunion. It can host a crowd comfortably, while the surrounding Oregon nature can give a refreshing reprieve to anyone who seeks it out. Don’t you think this is one of the best family friendly Airbnb homes in Mount Hood?
