Welcome to the Little Yew cabin in the heart of the Mt Hood wilderness. Just an hour's drive from Portland, this riverfront property is the quintessential forest retreat. Surrounded by towering old growth forest with the rushing sound of the Sandy River, this singular property also houses Mt Hood's only known cordwood constructed cabin. It's no surprise that such a one of a kind property would attract the attention of Michael Pratt and Rita Larson in the late 1980s when they purchased and renovated the cabin and guest cottage. Pratt & Larson embellished surfaces with the whimsical custom tiles and artisanal features that have become a staple of Northwest design. A true original from the outside in with a floor to ceiling original stone fireplace, exposed beams, cedar clad walls and tall windows; take in the river and forest views from the new soaking tub. Featuring two separate sleeping areas as well as both private and common gathering space, entertaining is made easy. With furnishings and decor included in the sale, this is your opportunity to enjoy a turn key set up whether you prefer to continue offering it as a registered vacation rental with its 10 years of five star reviews or keep it all to yourself. There's a lifetime of exploration waiting at the Little Yew!
