I can not say enough good things about this property or the owners. 1700 Oakwood is exactly as it looks in the photo: sparkling clean, bright, beautifully decorated and quiet. The views from the living area and porch are stunningly beautiful. The owners, D & L, are magnificent. They take great pride in their home and are immediately responsive if there is an issue. We've since become close friends. The only negative, as far as I was concerned, is I didn't;t have enough time to explore The Dalles. While it appears like it's in desperate need of renewal, there is a hidden side to the town that includes a wonderful breakfast/sandwich shop on 10th St with a great outdoor patio and a rear alley, Prohibition-like hidden entrance bar with mixed drinks of every type and great wood-fired pizza!
