This little house started life as a woodworking shop. When we outgrew it, we made it into a guest house. It may be imperfect, but it's perfectly adorable. We have a little peek of Mt. Hood from the yard. The territorial views are lovely. At night, you can enjoy the beauty of a Milky Way sky far from city light pollution.

Come. Enjoy. Relax.

SETTING
Situated on five acres near the main house, in a quiet rural neighborhood, this bright, cheery space is about 10minutes, (5.5 miles) from White Salmon's charming pubs, restaurants, shops, and grocery. Hood River is about 20 minutes (10 miles) away - just a short hop across the Hood River toll bridge ($3.50)*. It's a restful country retreat or a practical home-base for your Gorge adventures or business travel. It's a quiet spot great for relaxing and as a home-base for Gorge adventures, but if you want to be in the thick of things or you want more immediate access to the river and main highway, it's probably not the best choice. Many people feel the location is perfect; please consider whether it is perfect for you before booking.


*You can buy a BreezeBy pass from the Port of Hood River, which reduces the cost by half. Search Port of Hood River breeze by accounts for more information.

PARKING
Parking is at the end of the driveway and is marked. We keep 2 spaces available for guests and can make more available if needed. We have had guests with fishing boats, motorcycle trailers, and RVs.

LAYOUT
The house consists of two large rooms with a connecting open doorway. One side includes the living and dining areas, and kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, and built-in electric oven with stove. The second side contains the sleeping area, bathroom, closet/laundry. The sleeping area has a queen bed, small dresser, bedside stand, and curtain, which allows for bedroom privacy while maintaining bathroom access for all. There is no door on the bedroom, which may not be ideal for those with infants, small children, or snoring issues. The floors are laminate, ceramic, and vinyl composite tile.

BEDS
Although the space is ideal for two people sharing the queen-size bed, a queen-sized Murphy bed is installed in the dining area of the large room, and two single cots or cot mattresses are available upon request. If you want to use the Murphy bed, we will adjust the position of the dining table and chairs so everything will fit. We also have a Pack 'n Play play yard with a full-size removable bassinet. The bassinet weight limit is 15 pounds; the play yard has a weight limit of 30 pounds. Please let us know what you need BEFORE arriving so we can set it up for you.. (Please also see the layout notes.)

WORKSPACE
An office chair, a desk with a lamp, and a color laser printer are in the large room. The printer is set up on the wireless network but a 10-foot USB printer cable is included in case of connection difficulties.

NATURE
You may hear coyotes at night or doves cooing in the trees. Nature is all around us. If the sight of a daddy-long-legs fills you with fright, best not to stay here.

PLEASE ASK US!
If you want something specific, please ask. We'll do our best to accommodate. We want you to have a stress-free stay. If you arrive and realize that you forgot to make a request, whether for bed set-up, an additional guest, or any other detail, don't hesitate to let us know. Give us an opportunity to be helpful. We like doing that!

    Quiet, clean, nice private place out in the hills. Great for relaxing and enjoying some downtime. I recommend going into town to visit white salmon bakery during your stay!

    it was very clean, very well stocked and organized, nicely decorated, had lots of space, quiet, and nice views. the kitchen worked well for us. They provide an outside sitting area at both ends of the little house which we should have taken advantage of but did not...next time we will. It is up the hill from town by about 4 miles, but that was fine with us. We felt very safe and slept well in the comfortable bed. Katie was very helpful. We enjoyed the view of the top 3rd of Mt Hood out our bedroom window and the view of the mountains to the west which made for a nice sunset. We were only there for 2 days, but wish we had stayed longer since there is so much to explore in the area. We will be back.

    Very well thought out, with helpful signs throughout. Spare keys, phone chargers, board games, toiletries. The kitchen had a surprising amount of spices, coffee, tea, oatmeal, flour, etc. Very clean! I loved that. It's in the hills away from town, which is what we wanted. Excellent internet. I will note that the couch is comfier than the bedroom matress though. Would absolutely stay again.

    Said it all above. I ran into the host the first night and had such a great chat about the property and the wonderful furniture in the rental. (Made by her husband). Her communication skills are so perfect. Everything inside has a label on it and expectations are clear. (They are not burdensome, don't worry)

    The little house was perfect for our purpose. We were visiting family in the area and just needed a place to sleep at night and have some meals with our family together. Katie was very accommodating and helping us with whatever we needed. The little house is very clean and very well equipped With any everything you need for your stay. Coming from NH I especially appreciated the washer and dryer so we did not have to bring as many clothes for our vacation. The appliances appear to be new and everything is in excellent condition. It is a little bit out there up a winding twisting road but once you get used to it, it’s seems like home The view of Mount Hood on the way down is absolutely stunning. Thank you, Katie for all the little extras you did to make our vacation special. Hope to stay with you again.

    MY husband and I have stayed at The Little House On The Hill twice now. We definitely will stay there again. The area is so beautiful, and quiet. It is in a rural area, which suited us well. Katie, the host is great. We enjoyed talking with her on our arrival. The place is so comfortable, and Katie thought of everything to make our stay just right. We look forward to staying there again.

    Katie has added very special touches to this place in her efforts to make it feel like home away from home. The only noise you hear are the birds. It is a place to unwind and get away from all the nonsense. It is exactly as they state. Quiet and peaceful. If we ever find ourselves in the area again this place is where we will stay.
