Bring Your Favorite Spices and Cooking Supplies
If you plan to cook, consider bringing your favorite spices and seasonings. While our cabins include basic kitchen tools, spices can vary. A small ziplock bag of go-to spices makes meal prep faster and more enjoyable.
Pro tip: Pre-measure your spices so you can spend more time savoring the mountain views instead of measuring ingredients.
Pack Swimwear for Hot Tub Relaxation
Many of our Mt. Hood cabins feature private hot tubs, perfect for unwinding after a day of outdoor adventures. Don’t forget your swimwear to soak in a warm tub under the stars.
No hot tub? Bring cozy pajamas or blankets for relaxing evenings by the fireplace—ideal for reading, movie nights, or simply enjoying time with loved ones.
