About this property

Prime Location! Park your car. Walk and bike everywhere!

We look forward to sharing our dream home and community with you.

We are literally one block from town and secluded on a quiet section of Sherman Avenue. The stairs leading into town are 100 yards away.

Start your day with an adventure, with coffee in bed or within a couple of blocks you'll have several cafes to chose from. After coffee, its a 10-15 minute walk to the beach.

You'll also want to check out the shops and have some wine or beer at the many wine tasting bars and brew pubs. Return to freshen up for dinner then walk back down and enjoy our local PNW cuisine. No problem if you get a little tipsy. Its an easy walk home.

No expense was spared in building our home and your studio.

You'll sleep soundly on a new Parklane king-size bed that actually splits into two twins. Just ask for us to split them. Its no problem.

The space is open, airy and partially sub-terrain. You'll like how it naturally maintains a pleasant temperature. Even though it is set back into the hillside you are elevated from the road providing a better view and sense of privacy.

You have your own private entrance and completely separate living quarters. You are not sharing your space with us.

Jon loves to wing, kite, road bike, mountain bike, hike, dirt bike, snowmobile, snowboard, alpine ski, cross country ski, snowshoe, SUP and kayak.

Nancy is learning how to wing, does yoga every day, road bikes, hikes, cross country skis, snowshoes, kayak's and SUP's.

Just let us know what you'd like to do and what your interests are. We'll let you know where to go and provide some local tips.

We have a secret breezeway for you to store your bikes, boards, etc., and a great place to let your wetsuits hang dry. We've also got a hot and cold water spigot out front to hose anything off.

We've been Hood River residents since 1993. Nancy is a native Oregonian.

We hope to see you soon!

Perfect for the Solo Traveler!

This is my second time staying at White Cap and it's still a great place. The location in town is ideal - close to excellent dining and fun bars, yet on a quiet street. The unit is very comfortable and has everything you need for a home base. Many thanks to the attentive hosts!

River life

Had a wonderful 1 year anniversary weekend. The property was perfect. This was such a cozy place for us with perfect walking access to DT Hood River and to the event site/sandbar for our water activities. Couldn’t have asked for better hosting and cleanliness. Truly enjoyed this property, and will for sure return again soon!

Jon loves to kite, windsurf, road bike, mountain bike, hike, dirt bike, snowmobile, snowboard, alpine ski, cross country ski, snowshoe, SUP and kayak.

Nancy is learning how to kite, does yoga every day, road bikes, hikes, cross country skis, snowshoes, kayak's and SUP's.

Just let us know what you'd like to do when you're here. We'll let you know where to go and/or just plan an adventure with you.

Why they chose this property

We've owned this lot since 1991. It had another home on it that was rented and a favorite for visitors because of its location. We just underwent a 2+ year demolition and rebuild. Many of those who stayed at our old home are now permanent Hood River residents. This new home is WAY better.

What makes this property unique

This is our dream home and community. We are literally one block from town and surprisingly secluded on a little known section of Sherman Avenue.

No expense was spared in building this brand new home.
