Fine Place
The yard is lovely! The house is fine. The host is thoughtful. The price is good for White Salmon. It does not have central AC but does have a portable unit.

Great location at a good value
Location was prefect and I preferred the laidback towns of White Salmon/Bingen over staying in Hood River. Older home, but clean and charming. Great backyard for unwinding with a glass of wine after a full packed day. Make sure you hit up Denise for activities, restaurant ideas, and how to save on the toll bidge. Great Host!

Quaint little home
We had a wonderful stay in this little two bedroom home. The backyard is perfect to sit out with a nice glass of wine. There is some pretty cool lantern lighting which adds to the ambiance in the evening. The location is a close walking distance to downtown for restaurants and beers. We met our host Denise and loved her! She even brought us some fapples, figs and an award winning homemade Apple Sauce she made! So delicious! Loved our stay and would stay here again.

Great alternative to staying in Hood River
Everything was very well taken care of and the house and backyard were all great and as advertised. Denise was an outstanding host and was very communicative. She even let my brother borrow a windsurf sail when we mentioned he didn’t bring one small enough for all the wind! The location is very convenient as well. It’s only a couple minutes from anything you could need and barely ten minutes from the Event Site on the OR side and the Hatchery on the WA side (for those visiting to chase wind). All in all, it was a great alternative to staying in Hood River itself!

Cute bungalow, lovely deck
The place was well appointed and matched the listing. Denise was a gracious host and met us at check-in. Bingen and White Salmon were great on their own with easy access to Hood River and all that had to offer. It was a great place for a vacation close to home.

Great jumping off point for innumerable adventures in the gorge! Walk 1 block for breakfast at The Society Hotel. Walk a bit further for parks and other spots. Enjoyed the patio as well as the cool night breeze through the ample windows.

Kind hospitality and a good alternative to staying directly in Hood River. Ideal fit for a small family. Kitchen well stocked, and portable AC was key. Walkable to a park with swings. Bingen and White Salmon are worth a look.

Charming property in beautiful region
We really enjoyed our time in White Salmon. Denise was so friendly and communicative and even helped fold my kids' laundry! The location is convenient and price is very reasonable. It was helpful to have the full kitchen and washer/dryer. Just note if you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs or white noise machine for the local train. Mahalo, Denise! We hope to be back.

Cute cabin in a great location
We stayed here for a few days and it was a great little spot on the gorge. We’re thankful for the a/c as it helped us survive the heat wave! We loved that it was so close to the Society Hotel and could visit the spa there. Only downside is the train that whistles multiple times a night, bring earplugs or keep the windows closed.

A great place with a professional grade stove
We barely spent time in the space, except for our last night. We were pleasntly surprised with the kitchen equipment. We made a great home meal dinner and enjoyed the deck. Denis was super friendly and recommend all of the local must try. She is very much available to chat and if you need to borrow something from her. (Weight Scale, Grill)

We stayed for one week and enjoyed our time watching sunsets from the deck and relaxing in a quiet neighborhood. Denise was very friendly and accommodating. Groceries were a short drive to white salmon, and we be at the event site for water sports in 10-15min.

This is our second stay and once again we enjoyed the property. The location provides easy access to the Gorge and Hood River. The house is charming, as is Denise! Only suggestion would be the addition of an ac, but fortunately most nights were mild.

Great spot
This was my second time at this unit and I very much enjoyed my stay. The unit is well equipped, clean and comfortable. The property is very nice with fruit trees laden with ripe fruit (figs, apples, plums) while I was there (late July). The location is nice and central to outdoor activities. It has nice views, and Denise is great host with lots of good inside knowledge and good suggestions for activities. Thanks Denise for the nice stay!

Charming place perfect for enjoying the gorge
This was the perfect place for our week at the gorge. A short drive to Hood River but far enough to be out of the crowds. White Salmon and Bingen have cute little downtowns and we enjoyed walking around. Denise is a perfect host and her home is immaculate and comfortable. We only had one really hot night and would agree that a window AC would help. The trains run day and night so ear plugs are suggested for light sleepers.

Needs work,not a lot, but some major issues need attention. Communication lacking.
We where greeted with a clean,friendly cottage well prepared. At 1am a member of our party was stunned to find a Canadian couple staring through the lounge window! A discussion followed in which we learned that the downstairs bedroom which has internal access to the main cottage was occupied by this group for the duration of our stay.They had been advised of our presence ,we had not! which begs the point as to why at 1am they would wish to peer through the window which involves climbing onto the balcony. The bathroom door and shower door are out of alignment which means it isn"t possible to quietly close or open either. My wife awoke from a nap on the couch to find herself covered in ants, as was the kitchen bench and other parts of the cottage. Top marks for the response of the owner in taking our reservation and the welcoming touches. But we should have been informed of the fact that we were expected to share the property. The continual train whistle blasts throughout the night 5/8 blasts at each crossing finished any chance of a restful night but that is not under the owners control.

Great Garden Getaway in Gorgeous Hood River
Denise's property in Bingen was a great stop. Denise loves her home, she keeps updating it and keeps improving her beautiful yard outside. If she is staying beneath you in her garden suite, she completely and thoroughly minds her own business, and while I was there, all she was doing were improvements inside and out all day long. The beds are comfy, the space is very airy and breezy and bright and freshly painted. She has simple, lovely style and taste throughout the house. No clutter. The location is quite amazing for gorgeous gorge views and sunsets inside and out. Its set high up on a hill surrounded by a little neighborhood and a steep mountain, nice neighbors, (they all would wave,) and night time breezes. What else? There's a riverwalk a mile away along the Columbia for a quick walk, with events happening around Bingen, White Salmon (which is an adorable village very close by) and Hood River, its a truly great location to experience this amazingly beautiful area. The peeps at Uplifted Coffee hut are great and good drinks there on the way to Hood River. The Oddities shop in Bingen is a neat stop if you like weird and wonderful antiques. And watching the kitesurfers in Hood River is like a zen meditation. I love this neck of the woods, what a unique gem of an area. Also, Denise is super nice and attentive to whatever you need, and she loves her house, and that energy can be felt. (There is a passing train regularly, but its background noise, unless that noise bothers you, its not a deterrent to staying at Denise's!) Thanks again, Denise, Peace and <3, Leela

Bright, comfortable, well maintained property
Very much enjoyed my stay in July, 2017. The owner, Denise, has made a big effort to make guest's experience an enjoyable one. The unit is comfortable, well furnished and well maintained. There is a nice back yard, complete with plump ripe figs while I was there, and there is a great view from the deck. The location is nice and central to access to many outdoor recreation activities. Thanks to the owner for a nice experience!

Denise and the house was awesome, very well kept and equipped with everything you need! The place is located just minutes from the gorge event site making access to kiteboarding super easy. The town of white salmon is just minutes away as well for early morning breakfast and coffee. Would highly recommend this place, we will be back!!

Wonderful week!
Denise was a great host. When we arrived the coffee maker wasn't working and she replaced it immediately. I sent a couple last minute requests for suggestions of things to do and always received prompt and excellent recommendations. Our last morning we had friends over for breakfast and she brought us some freshly picked figs. The location was just right. Close to the action around Columbia Downwind Champs festival but just far enough away to enjoy peace & quiet. We'll be back. A very good value

About the host

Hi!
I have been coming to the Scenic Columbia River Gorge for over 20 years - I love this magical place; so full of the Best that Mother Nature has to offer - from the best wineries, fruit orchards, biking & hiking trails, waterfalls, lakes, mountains, and the list goes on and on...if you love the outdoors - you will love it here!

Why they chose this property

I first came to the Columbia River Gorge to Windsurf which has always been a big passion for me. I have seen Hood River grow, and develop into an amazing Community of likeminded people who enjoy nature and the great outdoors.

What makes this property unique

I love gardening and really enjoy planting flowers and being here to see them blossom. I have planted an Apple tree, Japanese Pear tree, and a fig tree (that has gifted me some wonderful figs!). As well I have also planted lavendar, rosemary, sage, irises (large purple ones that bloom in June)and many other sweet adornments.
My projects last year included remodeling the kitchen and bathroom - along with refinishing the original fir floors. You will love the warmth that this cozy home has to offer!
