The cabin was really well made and interesting to see. The hot tub was super clean and worked well, and the fireplace was very nice. The roads in and out were a bit difficult to drive through, especially if you have a big car, but it was worth it.
Loved the great old log cabin vibe. 2 of the 3 bedrooms are upstairs, and the bedroom with just a double in it downstairs. Be aware of that if you have elderly, young, or unstable guests coming with you. Great location for great walks. I hear the hot tub was great. A great place for a relaxing getaway.
The hot tub was quite pleasant and clean. The wi-fi was very good. The vhs-dvd combo machine would not read the dvd movies we brought with us. The kitchen has a full size refrigerator, unfortunately all the dishes needed to be washed before use.
Great getaway and relaxing trip. A way to step away from reality and just relax with a cozy fire and great views. The sound of the river is amazing. Brad is great with communication and made my stay easy and effortless!
Stayed for three nights, and loved the quiet, forest setting with the glorious sound of the rivers nearby. Cabin was a great place to gather with friends!
We booked a last minute stay with some friends. We were so happy with our short stay. The cabin was adorable, clean, and in the perfect location for us. If you want a charming cabin in the woods this is the place!
This was our second time staying at Laughing Bear cabin. Always lovely. The kitchen was even good enough to make a full Thanksgiving meal!
We love coming here
Loved our stay in this Steiner Cabin. Easy to get to many outdoor adventures. Just walking in the area is beautiful and entertaining. Don’t miss Gnome’s Way!
My adult family and I enjoyed a long weekend at the cabin. It was perfect. We enjoyed long walks in the snow and sitting by the fireplace playing games. I would definitely go again.
Beautiful setting, charming historic cabin with tons of character
We had a wonderful stay. As advertised, an historic cabin with lots of unique features and charm. Not for you if you want a new, modern feel, but wonderful if you want a memorable place with character. A bit quirky but has everything you need. Beautiful setting, enjoyed the hot tub under huge trees with sound of the stream. Would stay again.
Really cool old cabin that seems to be very much original. A few updates like electricity and heat, and indoor plumbing (unlike my grandma's old cabin). Location is close to everyplace we wanted to go, and features a very short walk to the river and footbridge. Cozy, but not too small. Comfortable beds, plenty of seating. We really enjoyed our stay!
Laughing Bear was such a beautiful property in a beautiful setting. Quiet, calm, serene. We absolutely loved our stay and the cabin itself, and the owner was very easy to communicate with if we needed anything at all. The town is charming and tiny, and really it was just a great way to spend time with someone you love.
This was a perfect place to stay for a few days in the drippy Pacific NW forest, just minutes from Mt. Hood, convenient retail and dining. Although we could hear highway noise, it was blended with the rushing waters of the Zig Zag River only yards away, We felt cozy and secluded.
Considering this place looks hand built, it's in pretty good shape. Upstairs has soft spots, but we ended up avoiding due to my service dog being unwilling to go up them. The place was clean, free of pests, and overall a very comfortable stay.Where this place shines is in the communication with the host. Brad was very responsive and accommodating. Friendly and professional. Overall, very happy with our stay from beginning to end!
Loved the stay here! It was exactly as described. Decorated for Christmas and everything! Hot tub was great AND hot chocolate by the fire. Super cozy and close to so many winter activities! Wish check in had been a little earlier, it was a little difficult in the dark but overall an excellent experience!
A group of 7 friends and I stayed at this cabin during our university's spring break to get some fun skiing in at Hood. The cabin itself is very clean and cozy but unique in its log cabin design and layout. It was definitely a little tight with 8 people, but if your all good friends, it's not a problem. The area is beautiful and feels more secluded than it actually is.
I don't know which is better, the cool rustic cabin in the woods or the property it sits on.
Lots and lots of room for several people, comfortable bed, TV, wifi, comfortable seating and everything you need in a kitchen is there. It has a hot tub, but since we didn't use it, can't really speak to its quality.
The property the cabin sits on is pretty amazing. Everything, and I mean everything, is covered in a beautiful carpet of beautiful green moss. Coming from Montana, all that moss was very new to me. There also a beautiful, wide, crystal clear creek flowing just behind the property that you're going to want to check out.
We had a great time staying in this historic cabin. Check-in instructions were very clear and we had no problems. We did contact Brad about arrival time and he was very responsive. As advertised, the cabin is rustic. But the shower had lots of pressure and hot water! There were plenty of electric outlets. We loved that it was just a short walk to the pedestrian bridge over the ZigZag River to Fernies Coffee. Days were spent at The Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood, Government Camp (Huckleberry Shakes and Charlie’s!), and Lake Trillium. One caution about the cabin, there is a lack of storage. The downstairs bedroom does have a small space to hang items, but nearly all dressers contain bedding. Easy to keep things in the suitcase and stored under the bed, though. And do take the warning of wildlife seriously. Our (adult) kids were walking down the street at night and saw a bear. He saw them and ran into the neighbor’s yard.Overall, a nice time here at Laughing Bear.
The property was tucked away in the woods, which we loved. The host was helpful and accessible. Wood was provided so we enjoyed a fire. The beds were comfortable and kitchen had what we needed. Loved walking the foot bridge for coffee in the am and it was close to store and gas station. Super cute place.
