About this property

Amazing Mt. Hood and Valley Views at Ziphaus!

This newer home is five minutes from downtown Hood River. Located in the hills above Eastside Drive, ZipHaus has panoramic views of Mt. Hood and the orchards of the Hood River Valley. Enjoy gorgeous sunsets or relax to birdsong on our front deck. You’ll love being close to all the action Hood River has to offer, but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet.

ZipHaus has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with the master suite on the main floor. The master has incredible views of the valley and Mt. Hood, a king bed, walk-in closet and a private full bath. The upstairs has two bedrooms (one king, one queen), two twin beds tucked into the wall of the TV room (which has a 55" flat screen, Dish and Roku), and another full bath. There's a half bath on the main floor off the laundry room. There's also a Pak N' Play and a booster style high chair for littler guests.

The kitchen is roomy and open to the dining and living rooms. It has plenty of storage and a large island with seating for four. The dining room seats six with room to spare and has fantastic views of Mt. Hood and the Valley. The living room features a gas fireplace, a 55" flat screen television, and double glass doors to the front deck. There's WiFi throughout the house. A gas grill on the back patio is available for your use, and the front deck is a relaxing place to enjoy the views with a cup of coffee or a glass of local beer or wine.

Hood River is an outdoor sporting mecca – bicycling, wind surfing, hiking, skiing, kayaking, SUP and just about any other snow or water sport you can think of! Our garage is perfect for storing all of your outdoor gear.

Located just five minutes off I-84, ZipHaus has easy access to the Fruit Loop, Mosier Twin Tunnels, the Whoopdee Trail for hiking and mountain biking, and great cycling routes right out the front door. The Hood River Chamber of Commerce has fantastic links to the many, MANY fun things to see and do in Hood River. (http://hoodriver.org/travelers-guide/things-to-do)

In the winter, you're just 30-40 minutes from world class downhill skiing at Mt. Hood Meadows, miles of cross-country skiing at Teacup Lake and Cooper Spur Mountain (along with some easy downhill runs), sledding at Little Jon and White River Sno Parks, and miles and miles of snowshoeing.

Wonderful time at the Zip House
This is a great place to stay while in Hood River. Convenient to the city and the river but nicely out of the way and quiet. We had a wonder stay. Plenty of room for 4 adults. Good kitchen if you like to cook. Plenty of outside spaces to enjoy.

This was one of our best rentals. The house was clean with ample room for all to have personal space. The views from the house were breathtaking. It was out of town, but close enough to be near restaurants and other attractions.

Hood River Haven for Wedding
This house is perfect for three couples plus a couple kids! Our family stayed for Son’s wedding at The Orchard (very close). Loved the main floor primary bedroom suite with closet built-ins, the gorgeous kitchen & family room with fireplace, front deck for enjoying Mt Hood/valley views. Laundry room & 1/2 bath off Famiky room. TV area upstairs has a nice sectional couch. Plenty of room for three cars in driveway/garage. The trip to town is quick & easy. Owner is great - we hope to return soon!

We had a lovely stay in this exceptional home. So away from everything yet so close. The view of Mt Hood from the house is unbelievable!! Diane was very nice and checked in on us to make sure all was well. I left a bag behind with a pair of shoes and she very kindly offered to mail them back to me.

Wonderful get away
It is impossible to say which was better, the house or our host, Diane. The house is beautiful, spacious and has unbelievable views of Mt. Hood and the neighboring orchards. The kitchen is well appointed and the beds are very comfortable. Diane is the perfect host, immediately available, responsive, and kind. We have stayed in many VRBOs and this is one of the very best! Thanks so much, Diane.

Awsome Mt.Hood View!
Beautiful house, nice design. Very clean. Very large windows to see the beautiful Mt Hood and the surrounding pear orchards. Quiet. On a dead end street so hardly any traffic driving by. This is out in the country, 8 minutes from town. Very serene.

Exceptional Property, Blew Us Away!
Our stay was a family celebration for my daughter's birthday which included 6 of us (husband/I, our 2 daughters & their boyfriends). We all agreed that Diane's amazing home was what created such a special weekend for us & bonded our family even closer. The home itself is stunning in its design, decor & jaw dropping views of Mt. Hood & the bucolic farm land, viewed from the floor to ceiling windows. So much natural light! Open, spacious floor plan with comfy furniture invited us to relax and bond together or there were private spaces if we chose solitude. Fully stocked, especially the kitchen (There's a coffee maker, tea & powdered creamer but I'd bring your own coffee). We took morning walks,went into town which is only 10-15 min drive away, but otherwise just relaxed. We had a minor issue with the guest toilet but Diane responded immediately & all was well. Diane as a host was so friendly & excellent in every way, especially her prompt communication. Highly recommend!!!

Orchard Oasis
Great location. Amazing views and easy access to Hwy 35 and Mt. Hood. But still only 3-4 miles from town. Newer house in good shape with all of the amenities. Perfect for three couples, with three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. We loved the gas fireplace. TVs in living room and upstairs sitting room. We would definitely rent this house again.

Lovely Home with a View
This is a very nice, comfortable, spacious home with a great view of Mt. Hood above the pear orchard across the road. Nice rural feel to the property which suits us. We even saw a deer in the back yard! Well stocked kitchen for doing Thanksgiving dinner, and even some jigsaw puzzles for a puzzle fan! Visited places that were new to us: The Gorge White House with a great "food truck", an antique airplane and automobile museum - huge, a large antique store across the river in Bingen where my husband found some tools and I found other treasures. There were also many football games to watch at the house and enjoy them in great comfort. Thank you, Diane, for all your help and for sharing your home which gave us a very memorable Thanksgiving.

We traveled from Boston to Hood River for a family wedding. The house was nestled among a delightful pear orchard with beautiful views of Mount Hood from every room.

Fabulous home
We’ve rented homes all over the country and this was one of the best. Great location with breathtaking views of Mount Hood and pear orchards. High quality linens, towels - very comfortable bed. The kitchen was well stocked with high end appliances. Another commenter mentioned dull knives but there was a sharpening steel rod to remedy that. We sincerely hope to return.

Yearly Family Vacation
Lovely landscape and large beautiful home. Very clean, nicely furnished. Beautiful view and close to downtown. Fairly stocked kitchen, but needs sharper knives, more measuring cups, paper towels. If you are not there for the water sports or the wineries there is not much else to do in Hood River. We did travel to Timberline Lodge on Hood Mt which is well worth the drive. The road is in good condition and the scenery is wonderful. The Dalles is the place to go for shopping. It is much bigger than Hood river and about 19 miles away. Still, we loved the peace and quiet and the most beautiful view of the mountain and many pear orchards. Diane was a wonderful hostess and provide a lot of information for things to do. Highly recommend this lovely home for your next family vacation.

About the host

Host profile image
We spend as much time as we can in Hood River!

Why they chose this property

We bought this property in 2008. We'd looked up and down the Hood River Valley for over a year for a property that spoke to us, and fell in love with the view from Old Dalles Drive immediately. We were finally able to build in 2015 and absolutely love ZipHaus! It's amazing to sit on the front deck and just...be. You can see the planes landing at the airport on the west side of the valley, watch all kinds of birds winging by (including a flock of wild turkeys, though they mostly trot around the orchards), and watch Mt. Hood as the sun crosses overhead and eventually sets behind the hills of the Cascades. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
