Summary:

Crow's Nest



The Space:

With its sweeping views of the Columbia River and Rowena Canyon, this striking four-bedroom cabin is ideal for your next family-friendly vacation. The peaceful, six-acre property is home to a variety of wildlife and is great for watching large birds of prey gliding on the cliff updrafts right in front of the house! The area is also known for its hiking, fishing, watersports, fruit farms, and wineries, and is a short drive from the shopping and restaurants of Hood River.



You'll fall in love with the main level's floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the river, as well as its high vaulted ceilings, comfy furnishings, and all-wood interior. The flatscreen TV will stream your favorite Netflix movies and shows whenever you need a break from the river, and the central AC will cool the home down on hot summer afternoons.



The full kitchen is the dream of any family chef, with stainless steel appliances that include a French-door refrigerator and a dishwasher, a center prep island, and lots of storage and counter space. The kids can enjoy your home-cooked meals from the three barstools and the wood dining table has seating for up to 10 guests. Outside, you'll find a fully enclosed wrap-around deck equipped with a new six-person hot tub, a large gas grill, and plenty of outdoor seating.



Use the high-speed WiFi to listen to some good music or research a new local adventure. After a day out and about, the private washer/dryer will easily knock out everyone's dirty laundry while you take the family dogs out for a good walk. When it's time to call it a night, you'll have four bedrooms to enjoy and the living room includes more sleeping accommodations for extra guests.



Things to Know

This is a rural property, and caution must be exercised with local fauna and flora. There are cliffs on the property, and the Gorge area has the potential for rattlesnakes and poison oak. Please be aware of your surroundings and monitor your children and dogs at all times.



Other Things to Note:

Pets are welcome at this property for an additional pet fee of $200 per stay. Please add your pet during the booking process or contact us prior to arrival so the fee can be applied.
