  We stayed the weekend at the Panorama Lodge with our 16 month old baby. It's a wonderful location with beautiful views of Mt Hood and the Hood River Valley. Close to town for a quick dinner out. But quiet and relaxing. Very clean with great breakfasts. We loved the lodge log home feel. It was warm and cozy and easy to feel at home. We felt welcomed and had a blast hanging out with the other guests. :o)

  Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing, families with young children.

  Owner response: That's how those "extended families" are created. Thanks for bringing the little guy. He is destined to be an entertainer, no doubt. He sure stole my heart! (By the way, we have many return guests from B&B days. Though breakfast may be available, the price of catered breakfast is not included in listing.)

  This was a great house for our Polar Express train trip. We had 19 people and felt very comfortable, with room if we had more. The house had a great views and a very welcoming feel. It was very close and convenient to downtown Hood River, but you still felt like you were away in the woods.

  Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing, families with young children.

  Owner response: Santa's elves create a lot of magic in the Valley. The Polar Express goes by near the Lodge and stops over by The Fruit Company in Pine Grove where Santa himself makes an appearance. This family had kids with smiles ear to ear after making that little excursion. I love the fact that we can be a part of that magic. I hope you can come back in the summer when Thomas the Train comes to town. And, of course, there are the trains that get robbed by masked persons on horseback. Great fun in the Hood River Valley.

  My boyfriend and I recently stayed at the lodge and had an amazing experience. The view from our room of Mt. Hood was breathtaking. The lodge was clean and the staff are very friendly. I would highly recommend a stay at this lodge!

  Owner response: It is a joy to host people dedicated to living life to the max. Bring that puppy back (after it is fully housetrained.) I want to watch your "family" grow. There might just be room for an iguana in that mix.

  I spent the weekend at the most warm and welcoming lodge in Hood River! I surprised my family for a weekend away and was pleasantly surprised by finding this gem. The Lodge is enormous and has the best views when the weather allows. The price was affordable and the company was delightful. Linda, the caretaker, is the sweetest woman and welcomed our family like one of her own. The lodge is about 3 minutes outside of downtown HR and that suits me just fine. The wildlife and the view of the mountain are simply outstanding, as there are swarms of beautiful finches and humming birds around to greet you whenever you want to gander at the beauty surrounding this space. The fire pit was exactly what we needed to warm up on a brisk night. We will surely be back.....thank you for such a wonderful time. ;)

  Owner response: Hey, I realize some part of your hearts never really left the Lodge. It is the groups that fill the place with all that love and laughter who leave the most items behind. Tee hee. Your belongings are on their way to your home via USPS . . . Be sure to come back. Bring bicycles. The nearby Twin Tunnels Trail feels a little abandoned when happy feet are not enjoying it.

  We had a family reunion at Panorama Lodge this summer, and it was wonderful. Plenty of room for 19 people, beautiful view from an awesome deck, ample kitchen space and plenty of charm. We would definitely return, if our travel plans take us back to Hood River.

  Owner response: We have hosted several reunions this summer. They have all been quite active. White water kayakers, lots of hikers and a few couples rented bicycles. Our little part of the world has a lot to offer. Thank you for staying at Panorama Lodge! And please come back.

  We just had our family reunion at this location with 12 children 9 and under and 12 adults. It worked out very well. We took one trip away from the lodge for a portion of each day and then returned to relax on the deck, talk, and enjoy the scenery which simply can't be overstated. We cooked breakfasts and dinners at the lodge and the kitchen was open and equipped sufficiently for several of us to cook & serve buffet style. There were plenty of nearby places to visit and many more that we would liked to have visited. We have already discussed the possibility of returning for our next reunion in 2013.

  Recommended for: Families with young children.

  Owner response: Our Lodge works well for extended families, whatever their roots. The sound of laughter from the deck is always a joy to hear.

  We had our annual family get together at the Lodge this past weekend. The lodge's setup was ideal for us: kids on the bottom floor with easy access to run outside, a large gathering area and well stocked kitchen on the middle floor, and bedrooms for the "quiet" crew upstairs. One of our group wandered around for the better part of an hour just looking at the decor. She dubbed it "ye olde curiosity cabin", with something to look at around every corner. The view was peek-a-boo with the pouring rain and rolling fog, but we remained warm and cozy in the lodge. We greatly enjoyed our stay.

  This is a lovely log cabin, comfortable, great floor plan, lots of seating in the great room and handled our rather large family perfectly. We used all 7 bedrooms for the adults and put kids on pull out or other extra beds. Linda, the owner, was extremely helpful, especially when we had a little snow storm and several 2-wheel drive vehicles to get down the hill. We hope to stay there again--maybe next Christmas if we can get the family all together again. I highly recommend the lodge. After it snowed, it was so beautiful and we felt like we were sitting on top of the world.

  Owner response: It is always good to see the old sled getting a workout. This was a resourceful group. We hope to see you again.

  What a wonderful place to spend a vacation with friends! We all work hard and have rented this lodge three times just to come to the gorge for wind-surfing, hiking and bicycling.
