Mt Hood Vacation Rentals will have a New Home Soon

Very exciting news for us.  Paul and Betsy just closed on the purchase of the Heart of the Mountain Building at 67898 Hwy 26 in Welches.  We have wanted to own a building to house Mt Hood Vacation Rentals for some time, so when this property came onto the market last May, we decided to take a closer look.

Because the property was involved in a foreclosure and bankruptcy proceeding, this was not your usual real estate deal.  It took us 5 months to get here.

Now we have some county permitting hurdles to get over which will get us into the renovations right about the time La Nina's promised snow arrives to the mountain.  Thankfully most of the work is on the interior.  We will work on cleaning up the yard in the next few weeks.



This is the view of the building from Highway 26.  We won't be painting soon, but eventually hope to update the color to something a bit more subtle, like Betsy's favorite sage green.



This will be our new front office.  This was the dining room for the Backyard Bistro Restaurant.

We will need to take out a couple of walls, but this will become our linen room.  It even has double 6-foot doors to the outside for laundry delivery.  Mt Hood Cleaners is going to like that.

This will be our conference room/lunch room.  Note there is a fireplace in the corner.



This space will be divided into 2 offices, one for Betsy and one for the bookkeeper.

We will keep you updated on the progress and let you know when we get closer to our move-in date.
