Great space, quiet area with easy access to Hood River. Stunning views too! We stayed for a wedding in Hood River and this was perfect for us. One tip is if you are sensitive to light when you sleep, bring a sleep mask as there are two skylights in the bedroom.Great time, great local coffee and food! We will definitely visit again!

This cottage was absolutely perfect for us, away from crowds of tourists yet with easy access to great hiking in the Gorge and Mt. Hood National Forest, not to mention wonderful biking both east and west right out the front door! Very comfortable and clean house, with everything you could possibly need for a great stay. Enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evenings, river views and trains passing through along both banks!

Beautiful Cottage with Views

We came to the area for our granddaughters All Star softball tournament and came across the Little Red House as an option to rent for our 3 day stay. We absolutely fell in love with the charm and location from the minute we arrived! The home is beautifully appointed and everything we needed was there for us to use. The river views were breathtaking and we look forward to a return trip very soon!

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location

My wife and I have never been to the Pacific North West. We had an occasion in Underwood Washington and rented this fantastic cottage. The beauty of the region is staggering. We had a great time. I am hoping we have an opportunity to return.

Perfect location

We enjoyed our stay. Mosier is a nice sleepy little town. The train does run through the town as it does all along hwy 84, and the cars can be heard as well, but the windows did a good job at blocking out the noise and we slept well. Overall, the cottage was lovely and felt comfortable. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen is large and easy to work in. Martha was very responsive and helpful.

Relaxing getaway

Spent a long weekend here for our anniversary and it was everything!!! Love this area so so much. It will always be special to us and Martha's home only added to the magic. Couldn't believe the view from the porch. The swings at dusk with the crickets felt like something from a movie. The kitchen was a dream to cook a nice meal in - overall the home had everything we needed to make it a perfect stay. Truly a special spot.

Good things Come in Small Packages!

Great space for 2! Wonderful kitchen space that is very well equipped. Spacious living/dining area and nice outdoor spaces with a river view form the porch. Helpful activities guides. Martha was a great communicator and accommodating. Made our week of Gorge Downwind Championships super convenient and fun. And Mosier is a charming town.

Mosier gem!

Romantic hidden gem in Mosier. The photos do not do justice to the beauty both inside and out. The Host (Martha) has carefully curated every detail to ensure a pleasurable and relaxing stay. The open kitchen has everything a cook could desire. We will forever have fond memories of mornings and evenings on the porch, enjoying the gorgeous Columbia River Gorge. We wish to return soon.

Disliked: Check-in, location
The cottage was clean - the neighborhood quiet. The picture of the property is old. The landscape is overgrown and needs attention. The outdoor lighting is poor and in need of repair. The cottage sits back and is somewhat difficult to find in the dark. Parking is limited to a very narrow street in front of the cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Martha Koerner

Host profile image
I grew up in Portland and live there now with my husband and two daughters where we both work in design. We frequently visit the gorge and Mosier to visit my brother and his family and to enjoy the beauty and activities of the area including, biking, hiking, paddle boarding and exploring. We use the home ourselves and are excited to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

I had my eye on this house and its mate next door for years as they fell into neglect. They were built in 1915 and they are a part of the historic fabric of Mosier. When they came on the market, I was excited for the opportunity to bring back their dignity and charm. My brother lives very close by and is a contractor who specializes in restoring old homes which, of course, was key to the remodel.

What makes this property unique

Sitting on the front porch lets one take in the immense landscape of the Columbia River Gorge and, at the same time, slow pace of a small town. The house has a great feel, a wonderful place to relax. Restoring and renovating the house was a labor of love and has served as a place for my creative energies including the making installing of the tile, the garden/patio and some artwork and furnishings.
