Resort Experience:
The units are a bit dated but very comfortable and woodsy. The staff is friendly and helpful. It is beautiful and peaceful in the resort. This area requires snow chains for the winter snows, so come prepared.
Welches is a tiny town with only a few services. It is just outside the Mt. Hood National Forest. Do your grocery shopping on your way to the resort. Sandy is the nearest town. For even better shopping, stop in Gresham, where there is also a Park and Ride for the MAX train to Portland and surrounding areas. Use the MAX to get to all the Portland destinations. It's inexpensive and much better than trying to find parking downtown. For WI-FI Internet connection, go down to Java the Hut in the shopping center on the main road in Welches.
Cell phone reception is variable at the resort. If you need to do long-distance calling, bring a phone card. You can only dial local and 800 numbers from your unit.
