Marmot House is a lush 13 acres of mostly old growth forest in the foothills of Mt\. Hood, right on the Historic Oregon Trail\. It is close to hiking, biking, and forested waterfalls a short drive away\. We have beautiful short hikes on trails in our forest on the property\. World class windsurfing 30 miles away in Hood River, as well as more amazing waterfall hikes in the Columbia River Gorge\. The Sandy River recreation area is just up the road from us and we are 10 mins\. from The Sandy Ridge Trail with its 17 miles of mountain bike trails\. Each campsite is tucked in the woods and has access our communal fire pit at our gathering space\. Our well water tastes amazing\! The is not a developed campground, it is our home\. We see ourselves as stewards of this hidden forest gem and welcome people to enjoy its beauty\. We are avid campers and recently spend 9 months in our teardrop trailer off grid on public lands\. Living here we are three family members, one renter and short term volunteer traveler workers\. We all work from home, Arehn a spiritual life coach, who loves to cook, Jim a software engineer and disc golfer, son Ian, software engineer and writer and Zuzu, forest fire fighter and logger lives in a separate apartment on the property\.

Tucked back in a patch of old-growth forest, the campsite I stayed at was near the communal fire gathering area, which I took advantage of. \nI arrived on my motorcycle, and Jim and Arehen were incredibly accommodating, making sure I had everything I needed. \nI spent too much time riding around on the mountain to explore the Marmot House as much as I would have liked. Good excuse for a return trip"

Hood), and a place which feels wild yet cozy, look no further! I had a very enjoyable stay, the hosts were welcoming, and it was quiet & peaceful. If you need a ton of elbow room for your vehicle, it might feel a bit on the cramped side, but for my car it was no problem. I hope to stay again soon!"
