Hood River Bungalow Is Perfect For Your Hood River Retreat

This is a really hard review to write but I rely heavily on ratings and believe an honest review helps the properties get better and provides alternate viewpoints for potential lodgers to consider when booking. I am still giving 4 stars because it can be a great home if you know what to expect ahead of time. Pros:Nice older home with a lot of character. Well stocked and clean. Nice laundry room and kitchen. Comfortable beds. Plenty of hot water. Cons:Hard to find…took several tries to locate the home as GPS wouldn’t take us to the address listed. Local delivery driver never did find it. Later, we noticed a couple of very small, obscure signs directing traffic there. It may be helpful to provide better signage or directions instead of just the address. The listing highlights the “rare find of an on-site arcade and game room”. When we couldn’t find a game room, we were told that there was a sunroom that people could use as a game room which once had a game table and chairs until it was broken. We were unable to watch some sports finals while we were there on tv because the cable had been turned off because “it wasn’t being used.” Amazon and Netflix were offered if we wanted to use our accounts. Again, we would have made plans to go out and watch the games if we had been made aware. The 4 bedrooms have plug-in air conditioners but we were instructed to only use two at a time or it would throw the breaker. The listing needs updated for accuracy and clarification.

A perfect place for friends to gather. Thank you, Kathryn!

Fabulous stay.

This property is beautifully suited for a wedding or anniversary stay. Everything in the kitchen is of the highest quality and there was more than enough of everything including high quality bath towels. We were disappointed in the very limited ACfor our July stay and think the home is better suited for 6 than 8 as far as gathering space but we had a wonderful stay and the host was very responsive and accommodating.

Kathryn’s charming home is very spacious for a group of up to 8 people. The dining areas are excellent for family meals, & the kitchen equipment is fully stocked. Both outdoor seating areas are idyllic, especially the covered front porch with rocking chairs. Great views of Mt. Adams & watching pear harvest taking place next door. The host keeps the grounds beautifully maintained, the towels & bedding are quite luxurious, & there is plenty of space with mudroom / sunroom / 2 sitting rooms / 2 large bathrooms & 4 large bedrooms. We were never crowded – multiple people needed to do some remote working here or there throughout our stay, & we could each find our own corners to take calls & get things done in the mornings. It left the rest of our day open to explore the best of PNW’s outdoors – whether driving a short distance to take in a beautiful hike up at elevation on Mt. Hood or hiking toward a stunning waterfall, doing wind sports downtown in the gorge, fishing on the Deschutes, or taking the local railbike excursion to fruit orchards & vineyards. Quick drive to town & restaurants. Quiet, safe, residential area set in nature. Very clean, well-appointed, & comfortable home. Kathryn is such an gracious & responsive host. She was very helpful & kind with any of our questions while we were preparing in advance for a longer stay. We really appreciated her hospitality, & we would love to return with a group of this size again. Look no further, this is your private & peaceful spot.

Lovely, spacious house in a nice neighborhood. It felt like a rural retreat that was not far from town

Our family of 7 highly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The property was clean and met all of our needs. We loved all the space to spread out. The property manager was helpful and quickly responded to queries. We plan to stay again in the future.

Very nice and quiet.

Great house in a quiet nook. Responsive host.

Loved the location and the amenities in the kitchen for cooking family meals. Will consider staying here again!
