We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. Communication was prompt. Unfortunately, the fireplace and the fire pit were not working, which was frustrating. One of the sinks in the master bathroom was clogged and the bottom oven in the kitchen was smoky when turned on. Also a bit frustrating. On our first morning, as we were planning to sit outside with our coffee, the landscape crew came and stayed about 1 1/2 hours. Not a huge issue, but frustrating. Still, we enjoyed the home and the spectacular views.

We’re so glad to hear you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the beautiful views, even with some bumps along the way. It’s great to know our communication met your needs. We truly apologize for the issues with the fireplace, fire pit, and the clogged sink in the master bathroom. Those should have been in perfect working order for your comfort. We appreciate your understanding regarding the landscape crew; we know how important those peaceful morning moments are, especially with a cup of coffee in hand. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll be sure to address these concerns to enhance future stays. We hope to welcome you back for another visit, where we can ensure everything is just right for you.

Relaxing location with great views!

We loved the location in the orchard particularly after a long day of site seeing and hiking. Relaxing on the deck and watching the sun set over the river was wonderful.

Lovely, relaxing house. Wonderful views.

The house is way out in the country. We are a group of friends who have been vacationing together for more than 50 years. We spent most of our time in the house visiting and relaxing. It was a great vacation.

Wonderful location in The Dalles

The property which is located in an active cherry orchard is an amazing place to spend time. My family and I loved to wander around the property and take in the views of the river and the gorge. Lots of birds about and it was very relaxing. While feeling very remote the house is quite close to The Dalles so it was easy to pop into town for any items we forgot.

Stunning views

I grew up in The Dalles, with a view even, but this was such a beautiful property. Very quiet. Well appointed kitchen. Wine weekend with the ladies was a success.

The Dalles family home

We had four children, aged 4 to 8, and six adult adults. We had 105 temperatures, AC problems and a few water temperature problems. The Home provided us a lovely space for the kids to play..
Response from VrboOwner on 31 July 2025
Hello Norman, thank you for your feedback. We're glad the home provided a comfortable space for your group, especially a place for the kids to play and enjoy themselves. We’re sorry to hear about the AC and water temperature issues, especially during such high temperatures. Your comments are important to us, and we’ll make sure they’re addressed with our maintenance team. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to offer a smoother experience next time.

Incredible location!

The home is incredible with sweeping views of Columbia Gorge and The Dalles on a hillside tucked in amidst fruit orchards. While the home is dated (carpet/bathrooms/wallpaper) - it has an updated kitchen, a great outdoor space, hot tub, and both the living and sleeping spaces are great. We really loved staying at this home and likely will look to return. The kitchen could have a couple of items that would make it even better (better knives) and it lacks an outdoor grill, hopefully they will add those for future use. Great place! Vacasa was also very responsive via text to questions we had about check-in, and was a nice feature!

A Dreamy Nook Club Retreat!

Our book club had the most incredible retreat at this cabin in the woods! From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by breathtaking landscapes—tall trees, fresh air, and a peaceful setting that made for the perfect escape.The home itself was stunning and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of space for our group to relax and connect. The cozy atmosphere, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms made everyone feel right at home. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus—there’s nothing like unwinding in the warm water while taking in the gorgeous surroundings!Everything about this stay was accommodating to everyone in our group, making it truly stress-free and relaxing. Whether we were curled up with books by the fire, enjoying meals together, or soaking in the peacefulness of nature, it was an unforgettable experience.If you’re looking for a serene, beautiful getaway that combines comfort and relaxation, this is the place! Highly recommend, and we’d love to return.
