Salmon fishing trip on the wind river

An old structure built using materials used decades ago. Reminded me of my youth Remodels completed in the kitchen and bathroom were nice. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. Thought the price was very reasonable.

Great place to stay to explore the area

We enjoyed the natural setting and quiet area and it was a great jumping off point for exploring the Carson and greater Columbia Gorge area. Wish we had even more time to stay and explore! We rented the two houses in the area and this worked very well for our small group - everyone was very comfortable and we were all able to gather in the larger house for meals. The houses are restored very nicely!

Beautiful Stay

This was a great location for my family of 4 and my mother. The house was clean and has a beautiful view! Things to note- there is no wifi or TV but plenty of cell service. We would stay here again!

Cozy retreat close to trails

My coworkers and I stayed at this very comfortable home for 2 nights. We had plenty of space both to ourselves and to mingle with each other. The home is close to trails and a great launching point for exploring Gifford Pinchot.

Base for our family

We loved this house and its location. The house was clean and just what were looking for as a base for our family during our son's wedding in Cascade Locks. Loved the area around the house and the history of this location. I hope we can make it back to stay again when we have more time to enjoy the area.

Only 1 bathroom is a little inconvenient. Needs a few more pots, pan. There is an empty jug and some cereal in spider web in the upstair storage? No curtains. The rest of house is clean.

This place is wonderful! My husband and I got married on Drano lake and this cabin was a perfect place to stay with our friends. There is plenty of parking, clean, quiet, and overall a really cool location. It was easy to rent and get instructions. Everyone who stayed loved it. We will definitely be coming back!
