Walk to Downtown White Salmon, Sweet Retreat

Enjoy a peek of Mt Hood from this cozy retreat with private, enclosed yard. Walk to downtown White Salmon from this one bedroom, one bath home. You will love the vaulted ceilings. This home has A/C!

We allow pets at pet friendly homes only with prior approval and a $15/night/pet, pet fee. Pets are not permitted on the bedding or furniture and must never be left at the home alone unless they are crated/kenneled.

Please note, if you choose to book with this home, you will be receiving a separate rental agreement that will need to be electronically signed before your stay.

The Columbia River Gorge, with its mountains and rivers, offers the vacationer and recreation enthusiast the opportunity to windsurf, mountain bike, kayak, golf, ski, hike, fish, or just relax in the unhurried pace of a natural paradise. Historic buildings line the beautifully scenic streets of downtown Hood River, with a bustling shopping district featuring boutiques, designer shops, outdoor adventure gear outfitters, antique shops, art galleries and no less than 30 restaurants.

There are many orchards and vineyards in Hood River. The Hood River Valley is known for its luscious apples, pears, cherries, peaches and other fruits, and for the view of the majestic snowcapped peak of Mt. Hood. People from all over Oregon make an annual trek in the fall to the many farm stands to stock up on fresh apples and pears. Other produce is available, and varies by season. The award-winning Hood River Vineyards is located on a hillside overlooking the Hood River Valley. Their tasting room features traditional wines, and fruit liqueurs.

The Columbia River Gorge, with its magnificent views make this a dream spot for a destination wedding.

Wind surfing capital of the world is Hood River's latest distinction. The winds from the Columbia River Gorge, best during the middle of the day, create ideal conditions for riding the waves. To enjoy the view of "boardheads" at play, drive to the Columbia Gorge Sailpark or follow Second Street to the waterfront.

The Mt. Hood region and its more than sixty miles of forested mountains, 77 waterfalls and myriad lakes and streams are a rip-roaring mecca for outdoor adventure. The mountain is home to four ski areas and offers the country's only year-round skiing and snowboarding.

Waveseeker
Waveseeker is cosy, basic and overall a good place to stay. It could, however, do with some attention by way of window trim that's peeling badly, baseboard in some of the rooms that needs replacing (or is missing...) and a light over the stove (the one in the microwave doesn't work and didn't last year when I reported it...).

horrible experience
The bridge was out and was told only days before arriving. Found out, all were told a month before for scheduled maintenance. They knew when I reserved the unit on the 23rd that the bridge would be out. The title of the email I received about the bridge closure was titled 'info about bridge'. It came the same day as the checkin email. I read the checkin email. I did not read the email titled bridge info. very deceptive and the commute was an HOUR to the next bridge. VERY POOR EXPERIENCE.

Perfect little place for 2
Needed a base camp for Everyday Brewing block party. 5 min walk to downtown White Salmon. Small but great for 2. Lives bigger than it’s size with high vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and lots of character. Good sized yard but grass in bad shape. Good value for the money.

Practical and comfortable
Positives: Has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Nice design job in the bedroom, we liked the skylight. The vaulted ceilings are nicely done, makes the place feel bigger than it is. If you bring a dog, the yard is large enough and fully fenced. Not so great: Windows needed cleaning and the yard needed some TLC - weeds were tall and the plastic Adirondack chairs were kinda grimy and brittle/cracking. There are no mountain views due to surrounding shrubs and houses. Bottom line, it's fine for what you need, a good practical option if you're traveling with a dog. Could be better if they put more effort into maintaining the yard/exterior.

Great little getaway
We spent a long weekend here and definitely enjoyed it. The space is cozy and comfortable for 2 people (+ our dog). Everything was clean and easy to find in the kitchen. The fenced in yard was great for letting the dog run around. It is also in a great location within walking distance to a lot of the restaurants in White Salmon. We enjoyed dinner at Henni's and Pizza Leona and breakfast at White Salmon Baking Co! All were within walking distance (if the weather had been warm enough for it). The only small issue was slow wifi (not good for streaming shows/movies or working if that's in your plans). But that was our only minor "complaint". Would recommend!

Funky charm and pretty good location
We were able to hike by day and walk to restaurants in the evening. The house has a southern exposure, so the afternoon light in autumn was welcoming. The property managers communicated promptly by text. A little updating would be welcome

Very disappointed
Three day rental… had to check out the next morning, and get a hotel. My husband is a disabled veteran with mobility issues. The couch was so low he couldn’t use. Only other options were two wood bar stools & two uncomfortable dining chairs, one with a wobbly leg… unusable. Could not find any channels on TV which were free. The wood pellet stove was not working ( as posted above it.) Some of dishes in cupboard were dirty. And although written instructions in rental tell you to load dish washer, there was no dishwasher. The biggest problem was the toilet which was unusually low. So low my husband could not get up and down from it. The only response from the property manager was “sorry the unit was not a good match for us.” She refused a refund for the two nights we could not use. We left unit clean as instructed (well, we hand washed dishes as there was no dishwasher.) We have happily used VRBO many time (easily dealing with quirks most homes have👍) Unfortunately, this was the worse VRBO experience we have ever had. 😔 Small house with yard would work for couple with no mobility or joint issues.

Nice Relaxing Home
Overall impression is that the outside leaves something to be desired, but all this is wiped away when you enter the home which is light, airy, fun, and inviting. The only downside is that the internet went out after 24 hours and it was a weekend so no contact

Not great if it's hot...
Nice property, great location in White Salmon. Easy access to restaurants and grocery stores. Close to Hood River. Quiet and tranquil. Comfortable place. Air-conditioning is a stretch. There's a mobile unit in the bedroom area only, which isn't well sealed to the window. Works great keeping bedroom cool at night, but the living area will roast during the day. If its in the 70's you're fine, but once into the mid-upper 80's and above, it gets hot and stuffy in there. If you've got pets, check the yard very closely...one of our dogs got marijuana poisoning from a discarded butt during our first week there. Supposed to be a non-smoking property. Communication from property managers was woeful...no return calls or texts after we arrived.

Clean, simple
The property is not very picturesque, with the neighbor’s vehicles in the adjacent front yard. The place is simple- no frills. Also, there is no central A/C, but the unit in the bedroom works well. The management company was very nice and accessible. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed is comfortable, and all is clean. I would definitely stay here again.

Vacation in the gorge
The Columbia Gorge was beautiful and our location was convenient to Mt Hood and waterfalls. Wish we had known about toll bridge and lack of restaurants on Washington side where we were located. It was very hot & the AC unit was only able to keep the bedroom area cool. Kitchen & sitting area weren’t habitable until evening. The place was not as clean (dusty/spider webs) as I expected & we washed the sheets ourselves as the didn’t smell freshly washed. It was Ok for our short trip but I wouldn’t recommend it.

disappointing
Overall, I'd describe this property as barely adequate and disappointing, with an unpleasant, unkempt yard, and inadequate cooling. They have a portable a/c with its exhaust hose duct taped into the window that only kept the bedroom barely cool and couldn't cool the living room even with a big box fan blowing from one room to the other. As for the yard, the grass is all dead and they don't water because the sprinklers are broken per the prop mgmt company. There is no shade. We did get fresh plums from the tree. I stopped counting at more than 10 piles of dog poop in the yard. Whoever is supposed to clean this place or care for the yard certainly isn't doing their job. The lawn guys came when we were there and they didn't cut down the weeds that were there and they just spewed dirt and sticks and acorns around. When I complained, the prop mgmt co sent someone who cleaned up half the poop and raked a little and brought us a bulb for the bathroom. One ceiling light out in the LR; one bedroom lamp had a broken switch, and no bulb in the bath overhead light. Overall, this place just isn't properly taken care of/ not equipped for hot weather, has an unkempt yard, and I would not stay here again. Strong review but all true.
