Please review the sleeping arrangements before booking to ensure the home suits your group.
Trash must be placed inside the secure bins—never left outside overnight, as wildlife is active in the area.

A Bit of History
Built in 1933, this home once served as the headquarters for a local logging mill that boosted Cascade’s tourism industry. The built-in desk in the living room originally functioned as a roll-top desk and pay station for workers collecting weekly wages. The small road cutting through the property was mistakenly placed decades ago and has remained for over 50 years—adding to the home’s unique character.
