We booked the house for a concert in the Gorge. The code was set incorrectly but we were able to contact the owner and have it changed right away. The drive to the venue was under an hour and as convenient as expected. We decided to make our trip into a long weekend, so I chose a house with a pool and hot tub. The hot tub does not work and appears to have been out of commission for a while. A little disappointing because there isn’t much to do in the evenings. The pool was very nice and the house is well stocked. The home definitely needs some TLC for the price.

Thank you for your review. The hot tub is full of water and clean, and operational. However the cover experienced damage from high winds last week. Desert Aire is a Golfing Resort with a Clubhouse and geared towards families with several activities. I would recommend checking out Sunland, which is closer to the Gorge and suitable for your budget.

Golf Trip

The Property was great the only thing it was 1 hr to the golf course, but there's not to many house to Rent in the Tri-Citys. Very nice Golf Courses it just not a Vacation Destination if you want a house.

Hi Bob, glad you liked the house. Your Review indicates your 1 hour travel to Tri-Cities, but to be fair our property is located in Desert Aire where you can see the golf course from our back yard. Hope next time you try golfing at our golf course and skip the travel time away from our Resort.

The place was absolutely wonderful!! Pool and hot tub were perfect. Beds so comfy.

It was a perfect spot for the main reason we were out there to go to the Gorge Amphitheater, straight shot only 40 minute drive. Lovely place to come back to after being at the Gorge Amphitheater all day. Definitely would recommend and go again.

Nice Home and a nice vacation

My family enjoyed our short vacation staying in this lovely home. It was a little far from the water than I was expecting and the hot tub stopped working for 1 day but was fixed right away so that was great. I am happy with our experience and would stay here again. Thank you so much.

Stay

House was great except there was no internet and TV didn't work. The pool was very dirty so we couldn't use it. The glass/screen door that goes into the house got stuck open at the latch so we had to remove the latch and left it in the garage. Bed was comfortable and the kitchen had all utensils we needed. Overall great stay..
