Great place for a Gorge Getaway!
This property was not only ideally located for visiting the Gorge, it was immaculate and extremely well stocked. It seemed as if the owners tried to supply everything their guests might need. We especially appreciated all the labels on the cabinets - both for finding things and for putting them back - and all the provided plug-ins for electronics. And the view was lovely. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Home Great Location
My wife and I stayed at this home during our Columbia River Gorge hiking vacation and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. Well cared for and perfect for a couple or two. Everything was in top shape and it’s so close to some of the best day hikes in the gorge and only an hour away from Mount Hood.

If it seems too good to be true...
At least that was my fear as I walked up on the porch and punched in the entry combination. I was extremely relieved but somewhat surprised that the combination worked and we crossed the threshold into this gorgeous house. I mean...What was the catch? How could they offer such a beautiful house with so many great amenities at this low price? A few blocks from the Pacific Crest Trail and the Bridge of the Gods, nice breweries, groceries, coffeehouse, and restaurants in easy walking distance...centered close to all sorts of parks, trails, and natural wonders. Ideal location in every respect. The house was well stocked with all sorts of odds and ends that we as Americans rely on: A fully equipped kitchen, washer, dryer...even a first aid kit. We also had a couple cold, rainy days where the sauna was well appreciated. A couple of the comments mentioned the traffic noise. Highway noise can be heard from the bathrooms because of their orientation to the highway, but in the living room and bedroom the noise is barely audible, and a nice sound machine is in the bedroom to drown out any noise for light sleepers. I suppose that I should mention the only thing that I can conceive some Americans might find disappointing: Only one small TV. Not a complaint for us as we were too busy engaging in all the area had to offer to want to waste our time watching TV...Plus, the house is well stocked with many entertaining books. OK...I'd better end this. Loved the house, loved the area!

Perfect Cascade Locks Stay
We had a wonderful time! The house had everything we needed to cook and to have a comfortable stay. Every detail was perfect. We did several hikes that the owners suggested in their welcome binder. They have many resources for the area that were all spot on. The sauna was amazing! Can’t wait to come back.

Delightful home
This delightful home has much to boast about: great views of the mountains around, super kitchen to cook in, a wraparound porch, nice linens and a comfy bed, and tasteful decor. It is also a short walk to the local restaurants and park. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and had everything we could have needed and more. This home is a gem in a quiet town!

Great little house in cascade locks
This little house has everything you need, even a sauna. Super comfy and well equipped. The only downside is the highway noise, but they even supply earplugs. The perfect little house for 2! Careful on the wooden steps as they are slippery! We loved the place and it met our every need, highly recommended!

My partner and I stayed here for only two nights, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The area was great, lots of fun things to do nearby. The neighbors were very friendly. The property itself was clean and stylish, and the sauna was a delight. We both agreed we would stay here again given the chance!

Great, cozy location in Cascade Locks
This easy-to-access property was just what we needed to be able to stay near some of the sites we wanted to see in the Columbia River Gorge. The town is quiet and this property is a short walk away from a good local coffee shop. It was nice to have dedicated parking and the owners clearly had thought through all the things their guests might need.

Great place, well-appointed, new & attractive & clean
This place has seemingly everything, from kitchen gadgets to phone chargers to good cookbooks to a "noise machine" with many options (rain, city, white noise, etc.). Charming, cozy, well-located, and clearly a labor of love. "Welcome book" has helpful recommendations for hikes, stores, etc. Neighbors are nice too. Good bed & water pressure. (If you're tall and shower upstairs, keep an eye on the sloping roof there.) I highly recommend it... check the air quality reports for wildfire smoke right before you go to ensure a good trip.
