It was an amazing vacation. We enjoyed our stay in this marvelous house and unique village. The toy kitchen was also very exciting [owners note: kids kitchen for playing ]. I love the view of the river from the balcony. Going on Mt hood was also an amazing experience. We made our own huckleberry jam which was absolutely delicious ! The house is very spacious and provided us with everything we needed. we are even thinking of coming back ! New Jersey

Stayed Oct. 17, 2011- July 1, 2012 Julie has created a lovely place to spend however much time you have. Many secluded spaces for privacy, yet space enough for gatherings..all needed amenities and services. Friendly and quiet neighborhood..one could have many family/friends 'times 'while enjoying the river and hiking/mountain excursions and returning to all you could ever need to finish the day... and just relax...

July 9- July 23, 2011 2 weeks at the Gorge's Best Viewhouse and it was amazing !!!! Hood River speaks for itself but having this fantastic place in this location with that view made it GLORIOUS ! Julie was always so helpful , answered all our questions, and even came by a couple of times to help with some of our questions. She sat with us at sunset and gave us some local tips- and we were able to enjoy some HR local flavor. Kiteboarding every day, trip to the fruit loop for berries and lavender farm, kids played in ALL the HR parks and awesome sunsets every evening ! Best View, Gorge House- WE WILL BE BACK ! Thank you !

July 2- July 9, 2011 Just spent a week at your townhouse. Very nicely furnished, great view, spacious, comfortable. Our dog thanks you for being able to spend vacation with us ! Garage nicely set up for windsurfing. We spent our time windsurfing at the "Hatch", Rowena,and Event Site. Spent several windless days riding the Whoopy Trail, and Kniebal Springs and one day hiking on the Washington side- huge fields of flowers, great views of St Helens, Adams, Rainier, and Hood and totally private hike- no other hikers. Thanks for sharing your townhouse with us. Spokane, WA

Aug. 8-15, 2010 What an incredible week ! This is an ideal location to explore this beautiful part of the country. Everyone here has been so friendly and helpful, too !The sailing and surfing are great to watch. Mt Hood, Mt St Helens ,and the Gorge have fantastic hiking to beautiful spots. The fruit orchards are great at this time of year- homemade raspberry/huckleberry pie at the Country Store is scrumptious !! The Bonneville dam and fish hatchery is so interesting- too bad we didn't plan to do some fishing. Oregon is a best kept vacation secret ! What a treat to not have to pump your own gas, too !

We stayed here for 4 nights and really enjoyed it! The place was spotless and had everything we needed, and more. We really enjoyed the location and view. We spent a lot of time on the balcony looking out at the beautiful view. We were 2 families with kids, and everyone enjoyed it. We found it to be reasonable priced. Would definitely recommend it to others.

My husband is from Hood River and we come out every year from Florida to visit family & friends. This is the first time we had to rent a house due to a family member having surgery. WE LOVED IT!! Great location and quiet neighborhood. Convenient to everything and great views of the river & Mt. Adams. We are now spoiled and probably won't stay anywhere else when we return next year. Julie is a pleasure to deal with. We felt at home and had plenty of room. We'll be back next year.

The house was perfect for 5 family members who came from Boston for our nephew's wedding. It was a very comfortable place to come back to at the end of the day. We enjoyed exploring the area and tried to take in as many sites as we could in 3 short days. The area is beautiful and now we know why our nephew has relocated here. Have a great fall !

This vacation rental is perfect ! Well lit, spacious, and tastefully decorated. It has everything a family looking for a fun-filled and relaxing time will need- not to mention the expansive river and mountain views ! My kids loved having the downstairs all to themselves. I loved the upstairs room and the new appliances in the kitchen. The location is great, too. Just a short walkfrom downtown shops and cafes and close to many attractions. Hood River is the perfect spot fpr exploring the Columbia Gorge. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We'll definitely come back again.

The title of the property lived up to it's name with stunning views of the Hood River- for anyone windsurfing or Kiting you can immediately see the weather conditions to decide whether to sail or not. If not there is so much more to do no one could possibly get bored. The house was fabulous and delivered all it promised, it was immaculately clean. The owner was very friendly and helpful and answered all our questions. We will definitely be returning- there is so much more for us to do and explore. Carol and Paul Dorset, England

This is the 24th year that we have come to Hood River, Oregon, to accompany our son and daughter for their passion of windsurfing. It is our custom to camp out for a week and not rent a house for a week. Your house is very well appointed and makes holidaying a real pleasure. Whoever built and finished the house is to be complimented as the trim and cabinetry are done in good taste. We are feeling right at home as we have the same leather furniture in our rec room at home. We have enjoyed the WiFi system as we have four laptops between the families and our son is a computer programmer and works when the wind isn't blowing. Sherwood Park, Alberta Canada

Best Vacation House in the Gorge ! For starters, I initially planned to rent the house for September....and to make a long story short, I've now been here 6 months . This is without a doubt the best house in the entire Columbia River Gorge area. The views of the Columbia River ( you can also see Mt Adams) are absolutely amazing, and the proximity to MT Hood means you're very close to some of the best Hiking/ Mountain Biking Trails anywhere in the country. The House is stocked with everything you can possibly think of and all the appliances are brand new. The 3 levels provide plenty of space for families and the surrounding neighborhood is extremely quiet. Also, the downtown itself is only a few short blocks away, so due to its location you can pretty much walk anywhere. My job is taking me out of the area, which is why I'm leaving, but please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require additional information about the House. The bottom line is that if you're looking to stay in Hood river this is by far the best house so if it's available, rent it immediately ! Cheers, Jason Portland, OR

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gorge's Best Viewhouse. The home was new, spacious, bright and well appointed, with spectacular views of the Columbia River and Mt.
