By Guest Author: Molly Allen

Article At A Glance

  • Book Mt. Hood houses and cabins with room for up to 15 guests.
  • Find options for multiple families or groups of friends.
  • Book lodging with saunas, hot tubs, fire pits and more. 

The Mt. Hood area is a destination for many activities, from hiking to mountain biking and skiing and snowboarding. It’s also ideal for those who wish for a slower visit. Cozy up next to the fire with a good book and a view of towering trees out the window, take in the scenery from an Adirondack chair on the deck, make s’mores next to an outdoor firepit, or soak in a hot tub. While there are countless unique cabins and other vacation rentals throughout the Mt. Hood area, what are the options for larger groups? Whether you’re booking with a group of friends, sharing with multiple families or gathering for a family reunion, these are some of the best stays to consider for large groups on and around the mountain.

Gathering with friends and family is cause for celebration, but it’s important to remember a few key tips and that you "otter" be respectful of other residences in the area.

  • Avoid parking in other driveways: Park in approved areas as mentioned by the vacation rental.
  • Limit size: Keep your group limited to the approved size on your booking.
  • Keep noise to a minimum: Many rentals are in quiet neighborhoods or more remote locations, so loud music shouldn’t be played. Stick to the quiet hours as noted in your vocational rental booking.
