Book your stay today and make unforgettable memories at Snowball House—where adventure is just outside your door! We truly want you to enjoy your time and make some wonderful memories with your group. That being said, this is not a party or gathering house for groups that can't control their noise levels. We have relationships with all of our neighbors who have our direct contact information. Quiet time is 10:00 pm to 8:00 am. Please stay indoors during this time, keep the windows and doors closed and keep the volume to an enjoyable but reasonable level. If it is loud enough to be heard outside in these conditions, it is too loud for you to remain our guest. This property includes a noise alert monitoring system in order to ensure that neighborhood noise levels are respected. Again, please realize we want every group to enjoy their time, laugh, have fun and make memories. These devices are only to ensure noise levels don't reach a threshold that bothers our neighbors. Also, please note there is no electronic video surveillance monitoring pools or spas, or on the interior of the house. This is not a pet friendly home. Fireplace not an amenity provided, home has a Nest Thermostat for central heating.

Mar 26, 2025 #### Perfect Spring Break We had a blast on Mt. Hood over spring break! We walked to Summit Pass and enjoyed snowboarding every day. It was fun taking the shuttle up to Timberline and snowboarding almost right to the front door of the cabin. In the evening we took the kids to the Ratskeller and had fun eating pizza and playing video games. Everything was walkable from the cabin. Rooms were good and cozy. The house is much bigger than it looks in the pictures. Kitchen was good. Basement games were fun for the kids. ##### Patrick C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret F. Sep 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The A-Frame was cozy, beautifully maintained, and had cool, unique architecture. We had a wonderful time. I wish I could have stayed longer. Communication from the property owners was exceptional. ##### Margaret F. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kathy Jun 23, 2025 The TV did not work for the entire stay and a person came to look at it but could not fix the problem. I had to stand on a chair to reach the dishes and crockery. Fire place did not work. ##### Kathy Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hallmark Resort - Newport](https://www.expedia.ca/Newport-Hotels-Hallmark-Resort-Newport.h5431017.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Lion Inn & Suites Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario-Hotels-Red-Lion-Inn-Suites-Ontario.h459387.Hotel-Information) > > [Sailor Jack's Oceanfront Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Lincoln-City-Hotels-Sailor-Jacks-Oceanfront-Inn.h7325863.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake ](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Rivertide Suites Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Seaside-Hotels-Rivertide-Suites-Hotel.h1671418.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Rodeway Inn & Suites Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario-Hotels-Rodeway-Inn-Suites.h39432352.Hotel-Information) > > [Adobe Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Yachats-Hotels-Adobe-Resort.h9615761.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [SaltLine Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Oregon-Coast-Hotels-SALTLINE.h53135936.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Hood River Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hood-River-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Hood-River-Inn.h9066.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn at Otter Crest](https://www.expedia.ca/Otter-Rock-Hotels-Inn-At-Otter-Crest.h1605899.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Ontario.h1485642.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Ebb Tide Oceanfront Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Seaside-Hotels-Ebb-Tide-Oceanfront-Inn.h5494357.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Pacific-City-Hotels-Headlands-Coastal-Lodge-Spa.h31015991.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lodge at Eagle Crest Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Redmond-Hotels-The-Lodge-At-Eagle-Crest-Resort.h1490014.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coho Oceanfront Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lincoln-City-Hotels-The-Coho-Oceanfront-Lodge.h2733228.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ontario by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Ontario.h2117417.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Seaside-Convention Center by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Seaside-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Seaside-Convention-Center.h1199966.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Agate Beach Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Newport-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Agate-Beach-Inn.h40696.Hotel-Information)
