The Land

Hummingbird Lodge is situated on forested land filled with rhododendron, ferns, lupine, and berry bushes. During the warmer months, hammocks and Adirondack chairs let you enjoy the beauty of the land comfortably. Or soak in the hot tub as you watch the bluebirds, hummingbirds, and squirrels play in the cedars and Douglas firs.

Our youngest guests enjoy searching for fairies in the woods, building forts, and taking nature walks, all within our fenced 10 acre property. Let them wander without concern, and then call them back with the dinner bell.

The deck, newly built in August 2017, includes a spacious dining table and umbrella, as well as a new Char Broil gas grill.

The House

For those preferring the indoors, lounge in the great room under soaring log ceilings by the fire, or cook for friends in the open kitchen. Share your meal at the custom-built, live edge dining table, lovingly crafted by the homeowners.

The living room includes a new television and a selection of DVDs to suit the whole family. We just installed internet in February 2021 and haven't gotten streaming services going yet. (Will update this listing when that changes.)

Downstairs, just past the living room and kitchen, you'll find a queen bedroom across the hall from the bunkroom. The bunkroom includes a twin-over-full bunkbed plus a separate twin; it sleeps four. These two rooms share the full bathroom downstairs.

Upstairs, you'll discover a loft with books and games for children and adults, plus a cozy chair for reading.

Pass a full bathroom on your way to the very large master bedroom, with windows looking out over dense forest and rhododendron bushes. This room includes a king-sized bed and a lounge chair, which unfolds into a twin sized sleeper. We keep bedding for the lounger in the master closet. While this provides a ninth sleeping space, we don't include it in the count, as we recommend it just for children. (Our six-year-old finds it extremely comfortable.)

A desk, comfortable chair, and desk lamp occupy a corner of the master bedroom for those who choose to work from Hummingbird Lodge. A wifi booster in the upstairs hallway ensures a strong signal.

The Surroundings

Just one hour from Portland, Hummingbird Lodge provides the best of all worlds. On your way to the home, pass through Sandy to pick up any groceries you need. Perhaps stop at one of the Portland-caliber restaurants just five or ten minutes from the house; we love Al Forno Ferruzza and Koya Kitchen most of all. Then retreat to ultimate privacy at Hummingbird Lodge. Depending on the time of year you visit, some of Oregon's best hikes are just a few minutes up the road. (We love Ramona Falls and Burnt Lake, and dozens of other destinations await.) Or pile into the car for a 15-20 minute drive to Mt. Hood Ski Bowl and Timberline (which we recommend to the non-skiers too year round.) Fishing, swimming, golf, rafting, and world-class rock climbing at French's Dome are all a short distance away. And most importantly for many of us, we always provide coffee for our guests.

*Our Property Fee per night covers Clackamas County lodging taxes. We remit that fee directly to the county.
