This was our second stay. Fabulous house in beautiful surroundings! Our host was welcoming and easy to connect with, and along with all necessities, there was a wonderful collection of books to read, games to play, and a wonderfully colorful woods to contemplate from every window.

My son and I were in town for a long weekend for a family reunion in Parkdale. This house was in a great location in between Hood River and Parkdale so it was the perfect place for us. A very cool house with a nice layout great porch and babbling Brook. Everything about the stay was excellent.

We had a wonderful time in this house. It is in a beautiful location and we loved everything about it. The library and puzzles kept us entertained for hours.

Cool place. Great location. Were here for our kids ski race at mt hood. We had a blast and appreciated how nice the place is, the great books and no TV (just a DVD player to watch movies)
Cool House about 15 mins from town. Neat property on a quiet street with a creek in the back that you can hear when the windows are open. Nice outdoor dining space as well.

Fantastic setting for a weekend getaway with friends
We loved this place! Great location...close to Hood River & White Salmon for shopping & dining yet also close to some beautiful trails in Mount Hood National Forest. Best of both worlds! The house is modern & comfortable, with everything you need, in a beautiful wooded setting. Loved the feeling of being nestled in the trees as we enjoyed our morning coffee. Will definitely stay again!

We stayed here for a family wedding- such a great little find!! Love the ease of the layout and the efficiency of the place. The under cabin nook was awesome for morning yoga and coffee. Could use some shelves in the bedrooms but nothing else to say negative about this cool little place!!

Nice weekend getaway
We spent a recent weekend here. It was very relaxing with nice views and the sound of the creek behind the home. The home was clean and had everything we needed. When we ended up with a change of plans (ski day canceled), we were grateful for the books, games, and movies available to keep us entertained.
My co-workers and I celebrated a retirement with a lovely little retreat at this property. It was perfect for 4 of us to just hang out, read books, play games, and eat food together. We were planning on doing some shopping in Hood River but we ended up just wanting to stay in and relax. Such a lovely space. It felt like a treehouse! It had everything we needed for a getaway together.

Thank you for the feedback. We look forward to hearing from you in the future.
We had a wonderful stay. The neighborhood is quiet and safe (Hood River Sherif live across the street). The house was well-kept. The house had some wear and tear like any rental, but it didn’t bother us. I’m giving a rating of a 5/5 stars. However if I *had to be picky* I would recommend getting new towels and sheets. They smelled like they sat in the washer for too long before drying, but that’s a pet peeve of mine. With that said, I would not mind staying here again!
Thank you for allowing us to stay with you! My wife and I with our three kids stayed two nights while skiing Mt Hood. Such a cute place and a great location. We loved the lifelong book collection that the owners were so willing to share with us. My want-to-read list is now a lot longer.
Perfectly located between all the things we wanted to see. We are already talking about a summer trip to be back in the area. We will be picking our dates around this place being available.
Thanks again!
We enjoyed our stay in this modern home! Our code didn’t work when we arrived, but thankfully we got help immediately over the phone and a new code was assigned so we appreciated that. The home is a little scuffed up along the walls and the bed frames and the bedroom mattresses are very hard and uncomfortable. But the location and the uniqueness of the home is worth checking it out!

Quiet retreat
If you love nature and want a quiet place to relax, consider this home. A creek runs behind the home, and the home itself is located a bit off the beaten path (about 15 minutes away from Parkdale or Hood River). You can sit under the home on a new deck, and watch deer eat clover in the back yard. You can pet a friendly neighborhood cat that likes to visit. Upstairs, the view is relaxing and the living room is inviting for a quiet evening relaxing.
The location of this residence is wonderful, great departure point to experience multiple venues in all directions. The residence itself is nicely appointed, beautiful banks of windows letting outside in. Kitchen has all you need to enjoy preparing meals. The outdoor living space is comfortable leading to a path and a bench adjacent to the creek - extremely tranquil and picturesque. The property management company needs to do a better job cleaning as both bedroom quilts were soiled. You can imagine that takes away from the overall quality of your stay. The towels and sheets seemed ok. Please replace those nasty covers for future visitors to enjoy.
