Nice stay

Nice a quiet and clean. The rooms are not very big but in our case we were just crashing at night and out during the day. I would recommend and would stay again.

Peaceful and great for star gazing

VRBO says there is only a microwave, but there is also a hotplate and an air fryer. Everything is spotless, and except for an initial greeting, Jack the owner, who lives on the property, is pretty much invisible. Good cell service and internet, and reasonably close (within about 30 minutes max drive) to the Washington State Observatory, Maryhill Art Museum, and the Stonehenge replica, a memorial to soldiers who died in WW I. Don't skip the art museum. The scenery is beautiful, everything worked, and if I was forced to say something negative, it would be that the bed in the small cabin is a little uncomfortable. Highly recommended, if you like star gazing, silence, or just exploring.

Dark sky

We went to see the comet that comes every 50,000 years. It was a perfect location for it

About the host

Hosted by Daniel

Father, Grandfather, Fly Fishing Guide, Lodge Owner - Got to enjoy the day and give back some way.

Definitely familiar with hosting people as my other job as a lodge owner is even more hands on with guests than Airbnb. I enjoy cooking and hanging out with guests when they fish with us, hiking, live music and new roads.

Aside from family love, I have a love affair with rivers, I have floated close to 200 watersheds from Tierra Del Fuego to Alaska:)

Why they chose this property

The Cabin On the Prairie is a little off the beaten path, but close enough to some amazing attractions. Though the main house is generally rented out too, there is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy a nice peaceful stay with views of Mt Hood and Mt Adams while the birds chirp and the deer roam.
