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.

Lovely home close to skiing and Hood River
We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful house! My husband really loved cooking in the gorgeous and well-provisioned kitchen and we all enjoyed the giant windows with the lovely surroundings. It was super convenient for skiing and snow tubing at Mount Hood and a short hop to Hood River with the art galleries, stores and great restaurants. Thank you so much for making this a wonderful holiday visit!

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.

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.

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!

Wonderful stay at Hood River
This was our forth and final stay on a wine tasting excursion. There were 3 brothers and one sister. While this place was a step up in price, it was well worth it. It had the best kitchen, best seating around the fireplace and TV, and best location/view. We did cook here and my one brother loved the cooktop. Gorgeous setting. The wonderful view showed off the colors of fall and the picture changed as the sun varied the light over the course of the day. Two of our group enjoyed the 2 1/2(?) mile walk to town. Recommend you only go in and out through the garage until you've read the instructions on glass doors that have special locks (aargh). All agreed - 5 stars.

About the host

Hosted by Diane Zipper

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!
