Welches Vacation Rentals by Meredith Lodging

On the way to Mt. Hood, visitors will pass by the village of Welches, one of the four Villages of Mt. Hood – located along the Mt. Hood Scenic Byway and close to the Sandy River. Named after Samuel Welch, a Virginia homesteader who settled in the area in 1882, Welches continued to grow, establishing a post office in 1905 and its first hotel in 1909. Today, Welches offers many private vacation homes and cabins (and an award-winning golf course nearby!) for all who want to stay near Mt. Hood and enjoy its peaceful, woodsy surroundings.
