Luxury spacious vacation home set on seven acres in the Columbia River Gorge. Amenities abound: Hot tub, sauna, treadmill, covered play area and huge den with flat screen TV.
The house is located in Underwood, WA (10-15 minutes to Hood River and White Salmon, WA), considered to be one of the best kept secrets in the Gorge for its views! Your private playground is right next door to an orchard and vineyard and close to the best hiking spots and premier wineries and wedding sites, including Celilo Vineyard, Ziegler Vineyards, AniChe Cellars and the Gorge Crest event site.
Here, you can relax and enjoy stunning panoramic views of Mt. Hood from EVERY room and from the wrap-around deck. The over 4,000 square foot house has three river rock gas fireplaces in the living room, den and master bedroom. The beautiful dining room table sits 6 plus 3 bar stools in the gourmet kitchen.
There are four bedrooms plus a baby room. On the main floor, the huge master bedroom suite has a king-sized canopy bed, walk-in closet, large jacuzzi tub and its own private deck with an outdoor shower. Two other bedrooms with queen beds are on the main floor each adjacent to full bathrooms. The baby room has a crib, changing table, toys and a twin bed. Downstairs there is one bedroom with a queen bed.
This property provides endless fun for children of all ages! The expansive lawns are perfect for all sorts of games (slip-n-slide, badminton, croquet and volleyball) and the covered play area comes with a tire swing, trampoline and toddler-sized slide.
World-class windsurfing and kiteboarding are easily accessible at the Hatchery and the house is close to 2 other top-rated spots on the Washington side (Doug's Beach and Swell City). Other activities just minutes away include hiking up Dog Mountain (one of the Gorge's most popular hikes), taking a thrilling white water rafting trip on the White Salmon River or golfing at the scenic Skamania Lodge located in nearby Stevenson, WA.
Many more pictures available upon request. Part-time caretaker on property during off-season months.

My husband and I rented this house for our wedding weekend and had his family and a couple of our friends stay with us. The house was the perfect size and more than enough space for everyone to spread out. The view of Mount Hood is spectacular from all the rooms! The deck is a great place to entertain and have dinner or morning coffee, the lawn is beautiful with some very nice lavender and other plants surrounding the area. There are several areas on the lawn for soaking up the sun. We invited some of our out of town guests to do a tour of the local wineries with us during the day before our "rehearsal dinner" and invited them all back to the house for dinner. It was spectacular! Everyone loved the house and we had a great time entertaining. We will definitely come back and encourage our friends to also rent this house for a private and gorgeous getaway!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, people with disabilities, sightseeing, tourists without a car, pet owners, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers.

Words cannot express how wonderful this vacation home is! The photos simply do not do justice to this wonderful property and home! The grounds were immaculate and the view of Mt. Hood was stunning. The interior was gorgeous, clean, and tastefully decorated. The owner provided everything we could possibly need (and more) for our four night stay. We had our young children with us (ages 3 and 6) and they were thoroughly entertained by the trampoline, sand box, tire swing, toys, and they must have log-rolled down the hills 1000Xs! We (the grown-ups) enjoyed the hot tub on the deck, the sauna, and the views...breathtaking! The owner was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions, and everything (regarding the cabin) was very well-organized in a binder. Although we were perfectly content staying at the cabin, there are so many great things to do in surrounding cities. We enjoyed a trip to Sylcline Winery in Lyle (beautiful grounds and very friendly owners who allowed our children to pick some fresh raspberries!), a great kid-friendly hike to Falls Creek Falls just outside Carson, The Gorge White House in Hood River off 35 (a lovely, Historic home) where we enjoyed wine and beer tasting, and the kids picked fresh strawberries that were out of this world delicious! Close to the cabin, we enjoyed a great lunch at Everybody's Brewing (in White Salmon), Beneventi's (very tasty sandwiches and great service), and Mugs (both in Bingen) served an excellent breakfast with a great atmosphere! I would 1000% recommend this vacation rental to friends and relatives. We were so blessed to spend our vacation here and would love to return with extended family in the future! Thank you Debra and Connie for all of your help and thanks for sharing your lovely cabin with our family for a perfect vacation!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers.

I could not have been more happy with our weekend stay. The landscape and views of Debra's home were breathtaking! The perfect getaway for 7 ladies and 3 babies under one. The place was well equipped for all of our needs. Beautiful kitchen and bedrooms. Cozy beds. I am certain some of us will be contacting Debra in the future to rent again!! Thank you for an incredible weekend!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children.

The house was absolutely perfect for our Mothers Day get away. I went with my husband, toddler and grandparents and it was absolutely lovely! The house was open and beautifully decorated, but simple so you felt right at home. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and very nice appliances. The deck was really nice morning, noon and night. And our son thoroughly enjoyed the enclosed trampoline, swing and sand box in the back yard. We will definitely come back to this oasis in the Gorge!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers.

Stayed here off-season for a girls' weekend. The property is gorgeous and the views are truly stunning. The house is beautifully appointed, very clean and very comfortable. Location is perfect, quiet enough to feel that you have escaped the city, but close enough to the town of Hood River to make it convenient. Spent the days hiking in the Gorge and evenings in nearby Hood River. Would love to return and try the whitewater rafting that is nearby. Thank you for a wonderful stay!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: I enjoy playing in the Gorge: hiking, skiing, mountain biking, cycling and running! I'm new to both windsurfing and kiteboarding but am excited to get beyond the beginner level.
Why the Owner Chose Hood River:
When my mother moved to White Salmon, WA in the late 1990's, I started spending every summer here with my family. I fell in love with the Hood River area and my property is the perfect escape in the Gorge! White Salmon is a great small town that has a fun brew pub, Everybody's Brewing, which is one of our favorite dinner spots.
The Unique Benefits at this Estate:
Views, views, and views!! I am still in awe of the views every time I visit. My children LOVE coming here because of the freedom to roam the property and a chance to see wildlife (deer, coyotes, bald eagles, hawks) from their bedroom window. I cherish the peace and serenity of the place.
