About this property

Bike Friendly, Walkable Home in The Heights

We call our life an Oxymoronic Utopia: car-free/light life with immediate access to nature and agriculture. Hood River is the wind sports capital of the world, but it also has the densest local food and beverage scene. If you value a car-light vacations and life like we do, this is the house for you.

Our mid-century house in The Heights, has 3 bedrooms, 2 brand new remodeled bathrooms and a brand new chef's kitchen (photos in Feb) stocked with all the tools you'll need to cook a great meal....but just know how much wonderful restaurants, beer, wine, cocktails, coffee and more are within walking or biking distance.

Cute home in a cute neighborhood
This adorable home worked well for a small friend gathering in a cute and accessible town. The rental required care of the owner’s cats, who were both very sweet and cuddly. Unfortunately, one of the cats had a cold and was sneezing all over us and the house. This was a little off putting, despite the sweet nature of the cat. The expectations for feeding the cats was way more work than we expected. Finally, the garbage, fridge, compost, recycling, and dishwasher all were at least half full when we got there. We had to get our own trash bags in order to take out the trash and we had to reorganize the fridge (and throw moldy fruit into the compost) in order to use the refrigerator. Overall this property was very cute and worked well for our group, but the expectations for maintenance of the cats and the state of the property when we arrived would keep me from renting this house again.

Nice house in good location
Great house, lots of modern updates makes it feel homey but still sophisticated. Lots of outdoor space. Kitchen had a ton of of stuff available. House is close to the CAT bus line, 15 minute walk to nearby pharmacy, Dutch Bros, etc. Would rent this place again.

We had a great experience in this home! There is so much to see and do in the area! Great location to downtown and Mt Hood. We really enjoyed bonding with Kubo the resident cat! Everything was clean and comfortable.

Cozy, comfortable, cat lovers delight
Megan was quick to respond and available via phone for any questions. This adorable home was perfect for NYE. We were able to enjoy tourist attractions and snuggle their sweet cat. I highly recommend this remodeled ranch.

Great Place
The house was super comfy and had everything you needed. The backyard was great to relax in. The check in process and communication was easy. I would recommend the hosts to have a guidebook to make sure we know how to take care of their place better. We were confused about trash/recycling/composting rules and where to put those during our stay. The house also comes with a couple cats and they were great. We didn’t need to do much with them; just made sure they had what they needed and gave them love. Location was quiet and easy to get everywhere.

About the host

Hosted by Megan Ramey

Host profile image

Her professional highlights include opening an organic convenience store, sustainable behavior and business consulting in Boston, founding Bikabout.com, designing the Historic Columbia River Highway Trail bike hubs and ColumbiaGorgeCarfree.com, and organizing Streets Alive open streets. She draws daily inspiration as a Planning Commissioner by getting around by e-cargo bike and foot, delighting in free-range kids and impromptu conversations in the street. Music and change are her fuel.
