Perfect Mountain Summer Get Away

Hiked, biked, explored historical points of interest, shopped and ate our way around the Mount Hood and Hood River areas. This was the perfect base from which to launch our daily adventures and return home to a comfy and super clean spot, pool and hot tub were great, as was the easy walk to restaurants and ice cream and more. Can’t wait to return next year!
