Stay in an Enchanting
Steiner Log Cabin
Lodging in a forested cabin is a signature stay in The Villages of Mt. Hood. It is in a historic Steiner log cabin, the experience becomes unique.
Henry Steiner and his sons John and Fred crafted a number of cabins in the area in the 1920’s and ‘30s. A Summer 2005 article in Architectural Heritage Center News & Notes cited the following hallmarks of a Steiner cabin: hand-cut and peeled fir logs; porches supported by forked trees, glorious large fireplaces crafted from hand-split glacier rocks or river rocks, spiraling staircases made from naturally curved spaldings and half-log treads, doorknobs and shelves fashioned from roots or uniquely shaped branches.
Other design elements often seen on a Steiner are the “sun rays” radiating into the dormer peak above the porch. The fact that so many features are made from materials at hand, often left in shapes that Nature designed, give the cabins a magical, enchanted quality.
Get better acquainted with this style by touring Steiner cabins on Saturday, December 16, 2006, 11:00 am to 3:30 pm. Mt. Hood Cultural Center and Museum is leading the tour of four cabins all decked out for Christmas. The tour will conclude with a reception at Still Creek Inn where John Steiner will be on hand to greet people.
Make reservations for the tour by calling the Cultural Center at 503-272-3301. (VISA and checks accepted.) Then meet in Rhododendron at the Mt. Hood Foods store at 11:00 am on Saturday, December 16. $15/tour and $15/reception.
