Planning land you own in Clackamas County?

Mt. Hood Tiny House Village mixes resort hospitality with extended-stay pad leasing—not the same as owning a Clackamas County parcel with a permitted backyard ADU. Route into pathway tools if you are comparing both models.

Pads & tenancy snapshot

Deeply shaded forest homesites with packed gravel clearings, full utility pedestal arrays, adjacent parking, and rustic stone fire pits framed by mature pine and fir. Seven custom-themed architectural tiny house units on the primary hospitality loop within a 300+ site Thousand Trails master resort.

Operates actively as a prominent resort village asset. Long-term space leasing runs alongside a hospitality program featuring custom Tumbleweed Tiny House models bookable nightly. Extended-stay lessees must interface with resort management on occupancy constraints and sub-leasing rules.
