About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Escape the big city, park your car, walk and bike everywhere!

This is our dream home and community. We are literally one block from town and surprisingly secluded on a little known section of Sherman Avenue.

No expense was spared in building this brand new home.

After a year of not renting because of COVID we are back, vaccinated, ready to provide a sanitized safe environment and looking forward to 2022.

Hood River Certificate/License No. 674

New Parklane king-size bed that actually splits into two twins. Just ask for us to split them. Its no problem.

The space is open, airy and partially sub-terrain. The room naturally stays a cool and even temperature. Even though it is set back into the hillside you are elevated from the road which gives you a better view and sense of privacy.

You have your own private entrance and completely separate living quarters. You are not sharing your space.

Jon loves to kite, windsurf, road bike, mountain bike, hike, dirt bike, snowmobile, snowboard, alpine ski, cross country ski, snowshoe, SUP and kayak.

Nancy is learning how to kite, does yoga every day, road bikes, hikes, cross country skis, snowshoes, kayak's and SUP's.

Just let us know what you'd like to do when you're here. We'll let you know where to go and/or just plan an adventure with you.

We have room for you to store your bikes, boards, etc., hot water to hose stuff off and a great place to let your wetsuits hang dry.

We've owned this lot since 1991. It had another home on it that was rented and a favorite for visitors because of its location. We just underwent a 2+ year demolition and rebuild. Many of those who stayed at our old home are now permanent Hood River residents. This new home is WAY better.

Perfect for the Solo Traveler!
This is my second time staying at White Cap and it's still a great place. The location in town is ideal - close to excellent dining and fun bars, yet on a quiet street. The unit is very comfortable and has everything you need for a home base. Many thanks to the attentive hosts!

Wonderful location
The listing description accurately describes the property. Parking was very convenient and easy close to downtown. Very short walk to winery tasting rooms and food. Check in process was easy. The room had all the needed amenities and was clean. Bed was very comfortable. We had an opportunity to meet the owners, they were very pleasant and kind.

River life
Had a wonderful 1 year anniversary weekend. The property was perfect. This was such a cozy place for us with perfect walking access to DT Hood River and to the event site/sandbar for our water activities. Couldn’t have asked for better hosting and cleanliness. Truly enjoyed this property, and will for sure return again soon!

Beautiful Studio
The only thing I would recommend the bed was a little too firm for my liking and need better bathroom lighting not good for makeup lighting. Other than that it is a great place to stay with delicious local coffee.

Cute - Clean & great location!
We flew into Portland for a wedding in Hood River and needed a convenient place to stay. Upon entry, we noticed how clean the condo was, and how cute it was decorated. Because it was so conveniently located to the downtown area it was a great location for walking to lunch and dinner. We also enjoyed driving over to the Tanamadas (sp.) hiking trail which was absolutely gorgeous! After the Wedding, we took an extra day to drive over to Cannon Beach. Got some great photos of: Haystack Rock & watching the local dogs play in the sand. We would highly recommend this condo again! 😁

Great Property & Location
Large, clean, modern studio unit. Great location, just a few block walk to all the downtown shops. Ideal street parking in front of the unit. Owners are in the 2 story building above. They are super nice, and go with your flow: if you want info, they are really helpful with advise on the city, and places to eat, info on watersports. Front porch is a great place for a morning coffee or afternoon drink. Quiet, safe street. Would stay here again for sure. Nice trees and wooded street, so during our summer visit did not have a view of the river.

Very nice, but no windows! No natural light or fresh air.
It really was a nice space, besides the fact that we always sleep with a window open, and this space only had the glass front door, and one small window that was filled with an AC unit. Nothing we could open for fresh air at night! And barely any natural light, if we wanted the door curtains closed for privacy (doors open onto the road, so we generally needed them closed). The first night we slept with the very loud AC on, as well as a terribly loud ceiling fan. It was pretty awful for both of us, noise wise. The last two nights, we figured out how to put the AC unit on fan-only, which was more tolerable for sleeping, and skipped the ceiling fan altogether. The little mini-fridge had a basically unusable freezer; it was so overcrusted with ice I could barely fit an ice pack from my cooler in there. Two people could hardly share the tiny shower as well. We could also hear every time the owner in the unit above flushed the toilet, or when their phone rang, etc. It was a bit surprising to feel that intimate with them. Other than that, the stay was great. The building itself is very beautiful, the space was clean and had everything we needed. We met the owner the first day and he was friendly and nice.

Very clean, cozy, quiet! just enough space for two. Great location! Down one block and youre right in the heart of Hood River. No need to drive anywhere as we enjoyed the activities in town. Friendly home owners that live above the little condo. Overall very friendly town. We enjoyed our stay.

SUPERHOST?
Overall the place was great. Had all the necessary amenities and was very close to downtown. Two things we did not care for was no assigned parking and that the unit was right under the owners. I didnt understand that it was a superhost unit. Please dont take this the wrong way but the floor was thin and the owners were earlier risers we didnt feel alone.
