Escape to the foothills of Mt. Hood and treasure your own piece of history at Cabin #3 built by William “Billy” Welch in 1925. Nestled between Hunchback and Huckleberry mountains, and across the street from the Salmon River, this home’s prime location provides easy access to all that Mt. Hood has to offer. The Mt. Hood Oregon Resort and Three Nines Golf Course are just blocks away, local restaurants, cafes and services are a 5-10 minute drive, PLUS this property is surrounded by hiking, mountain biking, waterfalls and snowsports, all less than 25 minutes away. When not exploring the mountain, unwind and listen to the sounds of the Salmon River on the charming porch swing with peek-a-boo views of the river. This historic home is full of character like the knotty pine walls, cozy fireplace and the incredible 27’ wide front porch. On the main floor is the living room (with woodburning stove insert) and vintage kitchen with dining nook and access to both side yards. Also on the main are two bedrooms and the full bath with an updated walk-in shower. Upstairs is the third bedroom, currently used as the primary, and has ample storage including under the eves. The newly installed slate patio provides the perfect setting under the trees to relax in the hot tub or gather around the firepit. The rustic garage is now used primarily as a workshop and storage - great for all your outdoor gear. There is plenty of parking in the circular driveway with room for guests or your RV. Updates include: laminate flooring in kitchen/dining/living rooms, slate patio, shower, tankless water heater and metal roof. Located roughly one hour from Portland, this sweet cabin works well as a primary residence or a magical getaway retreat. A hundred and one summers on the Welch homestead, and still going.
