Awesomeness!

Our visit to Vantage was absolutely perfect! The communication from the moment we booked around local logistics and helpful tips for planning was above and beyond. The house is spectacular! It was exactly as represented on the listing. Plenty of privacy and coziness in each room and on both floors. I hope we may make another trip out west again soon and spend more time in the area. A lovely and relaxing getaway! Thanks for the incredible hospitality!

Great Home in a Great Location

The home was fantastic...the views across the river (lake) are continuously changing, and provided the perfect backdrop for some deep relaxation. My group agreed that this was as well-stocked a kitchen as you will ever get in a rental. Everything from the obvious (lots of solid pots/pans, cutting boards, all the utensils, etc.) to the unexpected (we needed parchment paper and they had it!). Everyone slept like a baby and we had plenty of room to spread out. I would definitely stay here again.

Wow! One of the best rentals we’ve ever stayed in!

Wow! Our experience at The Lodge at Buffalo Vista combined with the kind hospitality of Michelle, the owner, was nothing short of incredible. The views are beyond spectacular and the proximity to the river along with easy access to our boat in the marina made our stay incredible easy, enjoyable and truly memorable. The rooms are large, beds are super comfortable and the overall space design is big, but ultra cozy - you could practically take a nap anywhere in the house… and we did! It had all the amenities you would need from an amazing jacuzzi overlooking the beauty of the Gorge at sunset - and the large yard to play a game of horseshoes with our friends/kids. Not to mention all the kitchenware you could ever ask for so we could easily eat in every day… and an abundance of plush towels that seemed to never run out for all 10 of us. Lastly, the proximity to the Gorge Amphitheater and Cave B Winery and amazing hiking trails was just perfect… everything you would ever need for a great week and all within a 20-25 minute drive. Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer! But we know we'll be back lots more! On behalf of Claudio, Stephanie and our whole gang, many many thank Michelle for making it a perfect week! Cheers, Henry

Perfection on the Columbia

A group of 8 of us stayed here for a long weekend while attending a concert at the Gorge. We really can’t say enough good things about the place. The house itself is beautiful, spacious, comfortable and has amazing views on the bluff overlooking the river. The location being so close to the boat launch was ideal as our friends brought their boat with them. The house was outfitted with all the amenities we needed to cook meals every day and relax as a group. The extra touches of a Bluetooth speaker, charging cables in the rooms and amenities in the bathroom were very much appreciated! We will definitely be coming back to enjoy this wonderful place again!

Amazing views and great location

This is a great spot for a group get away and an ideal base camp for wine tasting, boating on the river, or enjoying a concert at the Gorge. The views of the river are absolutely stunning and the house couldn't be better designed to take advantage. Everything was clean, including the hot tub. Michelle was a great hostess; she maintained a perfect level of communication, checking to see if we arrived safely, and answering questions promptly. Thank you Michelle!

Large Home, Perfect Location

Rented the Buffalo Vista for a concert weekend with a few other families. Had an amazing time using the gourmet kitchen, enjoyed the vast views of the river while hot tubbing, and the quick trips up to the Gorge for concerts (even a Gorge shuttle servive available nearby for a small fee). Looking forward to future Gorge visits at the Buffalo Vista!!

Amazing House!

This house was perfect for a getaway with friends, small kids and dogs. There was plenty of room for 4 families, a fenced in yard for the pups, and horse shoes to play for the adults. With the beach just down the road and the winery/Gorge just a short drive away, it made for a great vacation spot.

We had a wonderful stay. Michelle was very responsive. Great location for a concert at the gorge. The place had everything we needed to cook for 8 people. Just make sure to plan your grocery list, because the nearest store is 30 mins away (besides a nearby convenience store). The views from the house are amazing! Would love to stay here again.
