Classic ranch style home with nice upgrades and a great backyard and patio! Across the street from a park! Walking distance down the stairs to downtown Hood River. A great spot.

Everything you need and more
Close to town, this cute comfortable home makes checking out the area easy. The bonus is the beautiful fenced back yard made bringing my dog possible. We will be back.
We celebrated our daughter's 18th birthday and graduation, and it was a wonderful experience to share with family in the perfect location for the occasion.
We explored Hood River and the surrounding area while using this comfortable home as our home base. We had everything we needed and enjoyed dinners on the back patio. We walked downtown to the coffee shops, hiked local trails, and enjoyed the Fruit Loop.
Beautiful flowers around the cottage and very well-kept backyard and front garden. Plenty of supplies for cooking and cleaning up afterward. Large windows to let lots of light in during the day. Nicely appointed furniture - antiques and artwork all around.
Cozy house, great neighborhood and beautiful garden
Loved this artistic, cozy house. The epic treat was the beautiful and spacious natural wood gazebo in the back yard. Private and colorful with a great infrared grill.

Perfect Title
Lovely well appointed home not far from downtown, that met all of our expectations. Thanks so much for having us!!!
We enjoyed our stay here with a couple caveats. 1) the 2nd 'double' bed was tiny and squeaky - my 5' 4" daughter touched head-to-head and foot-to-footer, and her ~6' boyfriend had to sleep like a pretzel. (I see on another site the 2nd bed is a 'twin'; in any case sleeping 4 guests is a stretch. 2) the map looks very close to main town activities, but turns out set way up on the hill so was not very walkable or bike-able to town. 3) hot water supply runs out before 4th person gets a quick shower.
However, beautiful yard and neighborhood, well-equipped home, and sweet if dated interior.
This is a wonderful 2 bedroom house in a very nice neighborhood that is easy to find. We were attending a family wedding that weekend and it had everything we could need. I would have stayed longer if I could have. It felt like home for a few days.
Enjoyed our stay and worked perfect for us. It’s in a quiet and nice neighborhood and we had everything we needed. The house is sweet and had everything we needed.
Very nice place but could use some updating of furnitures in the living room and dining room. Internet is useless.
Easy communication with property manager. Very clean house. I would book this property again. We loved our stay there.
The property is in a good location, quiet and close to a small park and town. The back patio was lovely and a great place to enjoy dinner. The landscaping was beautiful. The internet, wi-fi and television did not work and there was no response to my request to have these things fixed. The house is cluttered with bric-a-brac and signs indicating you should not touch this stuff.
The house was very nice, just as described. The bed and furniture were very comfortable. The kitchen very well stocked, with enough room to store our groceries and things. The landscape out front is beautiful and the fenced back yard a big plus!! We are already thinking about our return visit! Really appreciate the instructions for the TV, we wish all places gave that info!

Charming and convenient.
Loved this home, charming and perfect for my husband myself and our pup. We totally enjoyed everything about it. Will be staying again.
We had the best time at this house! Perfect weekend getaway. House was clean inside and the backyard was great! Park across the street was perfect for kid. Walking distance into town and lovely neighborhood.
We loved being in this comfortable home for five days, exploring the beautiful Hood River area, having coffee at the local coffee shops, and enjoying the patio in back for late summer dinners. The house is just right for us, has everything we need, and is well equipped. This is our second stay in this house.
comfortable home with beautiful garden.
well equipped kitchen, BBQ and amazing outdoor dining space.
few improvements would make the experience better:
- paring and meat knives
- the bed in the small bedroom fell apart due to missing screws when moving it, it should be fixed.
- the comforter in the small bedroom is too light and a bit old.
also quite a bit of dust under the beds and near the furniture, more thorough vacuum would be a good thing.
