About this property

Hummingbird Hill Resort: HotTub, 3Dmovies, Hiking, Wildlife, Kids & Pets Love It

Hummingbird Hill Resort Lodge is a spacious, peaceful place to relax and unwind in nature's sanctuary. Music Room. Children's play area with toys and bikes. Pets welcome.

For couples, this lodge is the perfect romantic place to share with each other within the beautiful mountain surroundings. Here, you can really get away and enjoy a special time together without the pressures of everyday life. The remote surroundings bring a peaceful, gentle feeling.

Families will find the lodge's open spaces to be roomy and freeing. There are plenty of places inside and out to talk, eat, share and hang out. The two levels and many additional beds allow a large group to stay here comfortably for a reunion, family gathering, or a great group of friends that wants to enjoy their time together in the privacy of a wonderful mountain lodge. There is a children's play area inside and out with toys, sleds, and bikes. Pets are welcome and will enjoy the surroundings with their owners.

While remote, we have WiFi, and the lodge is suitable for remote work and remote schooling.

This rustic hillside lodge has a roomy living area open to views of the hills and the Naches River gorge. The log construction gives a unique ambiance that is unlike any other dwelling. A glass-roofed, classic hot tub looks upon the gorge walls with hummingbirds above.

There is a 360-degree deck which is glass covered on two sides, to shelter from wind, rain, or snow. A variety of deck chairs are available for relaxing on the deck, including a rocker and zero-gravity recliners. There are two gas BBQ grills on the deck.

The expansive master bedroom with a king bed has a private bath with a shower. Altogether, there is a large open living area, dining area, family room, and a full kitchen, with three bedrooms and three full bathrooms on two floors. Two gas fireplace stoves punctuate both the living room and family rooms with a backdrop of local stonework.

An additional bedroom with a queen bed with oak dressers is on the main floor. A full bed and bath are on a semi-private lower floor. The family room can be used as an additional bedroom and is suitable for younger family members or another couple who may want their own space. The den includes two portable Chromebooks and two Windows laptops for Internet browsing or playing online games anywhere in the lodge or outside. There are two Android tablets and two iPads for your use, also. WiFi is available for your own computer, phone, or tablet using high-speed DSL Internet service. The living room includes a home theater with 70-inch 3D full high-definition TV. Satellite Dish Network HD service is provided with a video library containing over 40 3D movies (including Gravity 3D, Mad Max 3D, and Minions 3D), about 220 Blu-Ray and HD movies plus about 30 DVD movies with the mixture including about 40 concerts disks in addition to movies. A Roku 3 online player is attached to the TV, with accounts for HBO, Netflix, Amazon Plus, Hulu Plus, and YouTube videos on the large screen.

The lodge has a variety of original art from over 20 Northwest artists and a collection of inspirational prints, throughout. The art includes watercolor paintings, acrylic paintings, word art, carved wood, ceramics, fused glass, pottery, and a number of unique items not found anywhere else.

This 3,700 square foot lodge has about 2,800 square-foot of fully carpeted living area on two floors. There is a 1,700-square-foot deck completed circling the home opening to the hillsides and views in all directions. Three garages are available (with remotes) including one that will hold a large pickup or van. There is plenty of parking for an RV or trailer. There is additional parking on a flat part of the property, accessed via a 300 feet trail if the roads are slippery or you have a trailer you don't want to take up the fairly steep driveway.

For music buffs, there are a few instruments supplied including an Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, a Yamaha YPG-235 portable grand piano/synthesizer, a classic Roland RS-5, and Yamaha DJX Synthesizer making it possible to play a few tunes, if you are so inclined. There is also a Pyle-Pro Professional Electric Drum Kit, and multiple guitar and drum amps. If requested in advance, a Gibson guitar can be made available. The log construction gives a unique and solid sound.

Experience living with green solar power in the beauty of the unique mountain setting. Solar power for the lodge is supplied by 39 rooftop solar panels creating electricity for your stay. The summer sun will provide the power for lighting, hot tubing, cooking, air conditioning, TV watching, hot water for showers, baths, and other energy needs during your stay. With normal energy use, the lodge has a zero carbon footprint in the spring, summer, and fall. In the summer, Solar panels can produce enough electricity for your needs while you enjoy your stay. For electric vehicle owners, a standard Level 2 charging station (up to 7200 watts) is available.

This is a peaceful place to just hang out for a while. There is no need to go anywhere, if you just want to relax and be with nature around you, this could be the perfect place. Once you are relaxed, however, if the urge to explore comes over you, then you will have a large area to explore. There are numerous hiking trails along the Naches River and Bolder cave is about 15 miles away. Within an hour's scenic drive, there is Mount Rainier National Park, over a hundred unique wineries, Yakima Nation Casino and many great shops to explore. Then you can return to soak in the hot tub and watch the brilliant stars and other mystery objects move across the sky.

2nd Amazing Stay at Hummingbird Hill
My other half and I, with our two senior citizen dogs, had a lovely getaway here. Our first trip was in April, loved it! I thought in late October (this trip) the hummingbirds would have been gone but they were still there! We enjoyed the view, the quiet, the hummingbirds, the eclectic decor (so fun!) and the care that Jim puts into making his guests feel welcome. Our Chihuahua-mix Willie loved the doggie treats (small like him) and I think ate the whole bowl! ;-) We have a week+ planned in spring 2024 with a number of family members and I am so looking forward to it. We will be making memories and enjoying the many amenities that are part of the Hummingbird Hill Resort experience. My 12 yr old nephew will be in awe of the music room and little drone toy. This is a wonderful place to spend any amount of time. Thanks Jim!

Cute little rustic cabin
If tou need to get away and reset, hummingbird hill is the place to go. Tucked away off the beaten path, it is quiet and charming. House is spacious with an amazing wrap around porch, and bedrooms are nice. We originally had 10 adults and 4 kids on our trip, and after some last minute sickness, only 5 adults and 3 kids came, which was perfect. More than that and it would have been a bit cramped. The host was so gracious and left us a hummingbird feeder to take home, handmade keychains, and left coloring books, puzzles, and a ball for the kids to keep. He also left out blueberry muffin mixes, and had lot of little toiletries in case you forgot somwthing. Even left a bowl of dog treats in case youre traveling with a furry friend. Our stay was so nice, had great things to do with the kids (outaide swing, pool table, foosball table, large buckets of toys) and we all enjoyed the views. Traveling with smaller children might be difficult, there are lots of decorations which makes the house charming, but might be troublesomw for more curious younger children. Would definitely come again, and recommend to reset, unwind, and relax!

About the host

Hosted by Jim Farrier

Host profile image
I'm Jim Farrier and I purchased this wonderful log home as a weekend home and vacation escape. I love the mountain air with the gentle summer here and the deep fluffy snow in the winter. For 20 years, I've worked about 210 miles away in Vancouver, so I drive a lot, but I've made it here most weekends in the past 12 years. My interests are nature, meditation, gardening, music, science, business, energy, spirituality, hiking, exploring, creative thinking, alternative health, developing peace and well being. I believe that life is complex with unseen forces and that we are all connected with our roots into the land. I like unusual unique things that have real value even though only a few special people can see the true worth.

I grew up in Tigard, Oregon and lived in Portland much of my life. I became tired of the city and I was fascinated and drawn to the Columbia Gorge and would travel and hike incessantly in the beautiful areas. I currently live in The Dalles and have a long commute. I worked for a division of a large multinational electronics corporation. My work has been multi-faceted, dealing with both Information Technology, Project Management, and Market Research. I like to use both the analytical and intuitive side of my brain for both my work and play. My education is continuing in IT, Project Management, electronics, communications, and business. I hold an MBA from Marylhurst University. I never stop learning and I keep pushing the envelope to understand life. I've recently obtained Project Management, Agile and CompTIA IT certifications.

This place allows me to really relax, but it is also a place to dream and be creative. I feel inspired every time I set foot on the property. Among the trees, the hills and the wood, life's problems seem to evaporate and real answers seem to come naturally and spontaneously. For me, this has been a marvelous place to dream, make music, enjoy relationships, write, learn and explore life to the fullest.

Why they chose this property

This mountain lodge is a peaceful place. It is a place to relax with room to spread out and expand in all directions. It can be a place to think and solve problems, but mostly to unwind and let your cares fade away. This place grew on me from the moment I saw it. It seemed spectacular and unusual in all respects. While I never expected I would use it much, I've spent hundreds of hours in the hot tub, relaxing, meditating, watching the birds fly above and the trees sway in the breeze against the backdrop of the steep rocky cliffs that make up the gorge walls. This place is magical for me and it feels alive with a gentle energy that holds and supports each thought and emotion. Being here brings peace of mind. Also, this has been a good place to visit with family and talk, relax and just have fun.

What makes this property unique

While it is relaxing in its own right, this place is a good jump-off point to explore the entire area from Mount Rainier National Park to all the points of interest in the Yakima valley and even further. The log construction makes this place have a different quality of sound, warmth, and comfort. It is a very different feel from a framed house and a truly unique experience. If you've ever wondered what it was like to live in a log house, you would hardly believe the difference and the nuances of the experience. It really grows on you.
