My coworkers and I stayed at this very comfortable home for 2 nights. We had plenty of space both to ourselves and to mingle with each other. The home is close to trails and a great launching point for exploring Gifford Pinchot.

This place is wonderful! My husband and I got married on Drano lake and this cabin was a perfect place to stay with our friends. There is plenty of parking, clean, quiet, and overall a really cool location. It was easy to rent and get instructions. Everyone who stayed loved it. We will definitely be coming back!
We enjoyed the natural setting and quiet area and it was a great jumping off point for exploring the Carson and greater Columbia Gorge area. Wish we had even more time to stay and explore! We rented the two houses in the area and this worked very well for our small group - everyone was very comfortable and we were all able to gather in the larger house for meals. The houses are restored very nicely!
I brought my son and a few of his high school XC friends to run the Bridge of the God's half marathon. This house was absolutely perfect! They had plenty of space in the yard to play frisbee and they went on multiple walks and runs. The house was very clean and beds were very comfortable! We would love to come back next year!
This was a great location for my family of 4 and my mother. The house was clean and has a beautiful view! Things to note- there is no wifi or TV but plenty of cell service.
We would stay here again!
We always enjoy staying here - don't miss the TV or wifi at all. (4th time staying)
It does seems like many kitchen utensils are missing, since previous visits - but we muddled through.
Shower knob needs repair or replacement.
We loved this house and its location. The house was clean and just what were looking for as a base for our family during our son's wedding in Cascade Locks. Loved the area around the house and the history of this location. I hope we can make it back to stay again when we have more time to enjoy the area.
This house was very clean & quiet during my stay. I stayed here 3 nights for Thanksgiving. House was well equipped and everything was in good working order; Washer/dryer, stove, fridge, dishwasher, furnace. The beds were comfortable. There are several hikes and walking trails close by, saw several deer and elk. There are a few things I want to point out; There is no entertainment i.e. TV, radio, we brought our sound bar and used our phone for music. I wish they had radio/music-TV, Cleaning supplies would had been nice for us to use (broom/dust pan/vacuum) for spilled sugar. The outside overhead lightbulb between the garage and laundryroom door needs to be replaced. We baked for Thanksgiving, measuring spoons/cups would had been nice. There are NO window coverings in the entire house, which is fine in the daytime. However, at night it felt like a fishbowl. They really need to put up some window coverings. We enjoyed our stay, and would recommend and go back.
This place was very clean and everything was in good working order. We stayed during the heat wave in July and the air conditioning was heavenly (We only used the downstairs bedrooms. The upstairs might have been warmer). It is quiet, and we loved the big living room windows showing the pastoral scene across the street. There was a herd of cows grazing peacefully morning and evening. As others have mentioned, the kitchen supplies were basic and there are no curtains for the windows. But this no-frills couple was very happy. I would definitely stay here again!
This was a great spot dor our family from both sides of the state to meet and spend the weekend. There were bedrooms enough for us all to have our own sleeping space and common space where we could all enjoy games together. We enjoyed the proximity to hiking and the outdoor spaces. We also loved learning about the history of Wind River. Thank you for keeping the home historic as much as possible. We just loved it here!
For me, coming from a city, this is almost that perfect get away I was looking for…nice, quite and surrounded by beautiful forest, creek, range and mountains view. Would help a lot if we can get better cellular and internet connection. The property is in a good condition and the service from property management was very good.
