Betsy
President/Owner & Property Manager
Betsy moved from sunny California to Oregon in 1979 to attend OSU in Corvallis. After graduating in 1981 and landing a "real job" as a youth worker, she was laid off 1 year later due to a recession. She moved to Mt Hood in the fall of 1982 to work at Mt Hood Meadows for the winter season, planning to return to her career job hunt in the spring. She ended up staying at Mt Hood, eventually working year-round at Timberline for 9 years. Deciding it was time to get out of the waitress business, Betsy started Mt Hood Vacation Rentals (then known as Cascade Property Management) in a spare bedroom of her home in 1991. The business has since grown to be known as the premier vacation rental company at Mt Hood. Our top priority is to provide quality, clean and well-maintained vacation rental homes to our guests. Betsy spends her free time downhill & crosscountry skiing in the winter, road & mountain biking in the summer and going on vacation in the western United States. Betsy currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Vacation Rental Managers Association.
