About this property
Adorable cozy country cottage for one or two next to organic vegetable garden!
Separate From The Main House, August Country Cottage Is A Cozy Retreat With Queen Bed And Full Bath And Kitchen with views of the Organic Vegetable Garden.
The August Country Cottage is a mile from the city limits and away from the bustle of downtown Hood River. The neighborhood is scattered light industrial and the cottage is surrounded by mature Douglas Fir trees creating a country garden oasis. Nearby is the majestic Columbia River Gorge, with renowned wind sports, hiking, wineries , micro and cider breweries, mountain biking, skiing, golfing, kayaking, SUPing, a very good pumptrack, and more. Truly a Northwest Playground!!
The Cottage is 250 sq ft, simply elegant and offers guests a relaxing and wholesome stay. With beautiful amenities and lots of natural light, a screen door allows a connection to outside where you might see quail or pheasant walking through the garden. The chaise lounges and table set provide places to sit and relax, read a book or just take a nap. This place will slow you down.
The Cottage is located on a two acre site of well-manicured gardens and grounds at the end of the driveway. A main house and barn are also on site that provide other guest and owner accommodations and work spaces. These ARE NOT included as part of this VRBO listing. Please respect other guests privacy.
The August Country Cottage welcomes you to see and feel the Gorge!!
Things to Do:
Mt. Hood Meadows, a winter ski resort, is about 35 minutes south and the historical Timberline Lodge with year-round glacier skiing is a 1-hour drive. Lost Lake and Timothy Lake are also within an hour's drive. Cycling the Old Highway 30 to The
Dalles is 5 minutes away. There are numerous spectacular, scenic routes for road biking and Post Canyon (a 5-10 minute drive) has mountain biking trails for all ages. White water rafting and kayaking is available on the Hood River, White Salmon River (20-minute drive) and the Deschutes River (60 minutes). There are numerous options for hiking (refer the internet, Curious Gorge trail guide, or Mark Hatfield/Mosier trailhead State Park Office), windsurfing, kiteboarding, and standup paddle boarding for all levels (The Event Site, The Hook, The Marina, and the Spit are a 6 to 7 minute drive).
Whether fishing, hiking, golf, cycling, kayaking, kiteboarding, windsurfing, shopping, golfing, pump tracking, wine tasting, antique hunting, orchard hopping, berry picking... the possibilities are endless for kids of all ages.
On the first Friday of each month April-December, Hood River celebrates art and music. Starting at 5pm, downtown businesses exhibit works of local artists while performers play music of all kinds.
Don't miss our Gorge Food Market every Thursday, May-Oct for the best local and organic produce and entertainment. Saturday Market brings organic produce, art and jewelry by local artists, gourmet local foods, etc. from 9am til 3pm every Saturday May-October.
Annual events not to miss: Spring Blossom Festival, Pear & Wine Festival, Gorge Windfest, Open/Outrigger Canoe Race, Brews Blues & BBQ, Mt Hood Cycling Classic, Columbia Gorge Marathon, Harvest Festival, Hood River County Fair...
