A beautiful and peaceful stay along the Columbia River. The sauna was what drew us to the property originally (and which totally delivered), though it was the small and tasteful details that ended up making the experience an unforgettable one. Would recommend staying at the Gorge Onsen without any hesitation to anyone looking for a unique getaway.
Loved the fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers - and the sake was a nice touch! Good location to visit the Columbia River Gorge, Portland, Mount Hood, Willamette Valley and the Oregon Coast. Oh, and stargazing was awesome!
Our group really enjoyed our stay at The Gorge Onsen. We took advantage of all the amenities on the property besides the fire pit. The house has a very cozy, quiet and peaceful feel to it. We were gone most of the day exploring the sites of the Gorge (and Portland) but we could've just as easily stayed at the house all day and enjoyed the propery. We were there for three nights but wish we would've stayed for at least five. Looking forward to returning one day! We visited in July but seems like a great year-around destination.
One of the best places I have ever stayed. The whole property is relaxing and beautiful. The house had plenty of room and is beautifully decorated to feel like you are walking into a home and not another random rental. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and the grill outside was very clean and easy to use. My favorite part about this place was the sauna and cold plunge. It didn’t take too long to heat up and is literally the place to melt all your worries away. Beautiful woodworking inside while you look out into an organic garden. It’s heaven. The host was incredible at directions and followed up quickly with any questions. Check out was the easiest I have had in a long time. You don’t have pages of things to do before you leave. I can’t wait to stay again.
