About this property

Make yourself at home in this charming 3-bedroom house in The Dalles. The bedrooms feature a king bed, queen bed, full bed, and a cozy bunk bed, perfect for families or groups. With two bathrooms offering both showers and a bathtub, guests can enjoy comfort and convenience. The living room includes a sofa bed, providing extra sleeping space for visitors. All rooms feature smart TV's, and phone chargers.
Stay comfortable year-round with heating and air conditioning throughout the house. Whether you’re relaxing indoors or gathering with loved ones, this beautiful one level home offers a welcoming space to unwind. We hope you enjoy what our place and The Dalles has to offer.
It's eye candy: 180 degree Columbia River Views, the locks, twinkly city lights, sunsets, barges, rainbows!
Step through huge sliding glass doors to the deck to a glass fire pit, gas grill and comfy couches.
Play in the game room: a carefully crafted carpeted garage space with pool, ping pong, darts, foosball. A/C and heat here, too! And, some say the hot tub has "an infinity feel" with its fantastic river view.
This bright, fully equipped and pet friendly space is nestled high on the quiet east side of town. Yet only 5 minutes to town, 25 to Hood River and you're at the mountain in little over an hour.
Did we mention The Dalles gets over 300 days of sunshine a year?

About the host
Hosted by Elaine Thompson
I'm a Northwest girl born and bred!
I work in a winery, bake sourdough bread, and say I feel naked without a good book. My husband turns wood, plays bass and sells real estate.
We love to waterski on the Columbia and snow ski on Mt. Hood. Our daughter is in NYC, and his kids/grandkids are all nearby.
We traded our Oregon coast home for this getaway in The Dalles to be closer to our family/friends in Hood River. We love staying at our panoramic "ViewPad", and exploring all the gorge offers.

Why they chose this property
This quiet east side of The Dalles has views to die for! We absolutely love watching the river traffic coming through the locks. The neighbors are super friendly, but very quiet. The street funnels down to a sweet one lane road a block east of us, and you can take all sorts of lovely country walks among the orchards and rural homes.
The hot tub is a real respite from the world - tucked under the deck and with the cover open, it feels like a private experience. You can keep your eyes on the river or the sky.
And there are so many sunny days in The Dalles - over 300 a year!

What makes this property unique
The minute we walked in this house, we were sold on the view. It's wonderful to be just a short drive away from our home in Hood River and feel like we are in a whole new area. The hills and sky are spectacular from this ridge top paradise.
We love exploring the historic buildings and murals in The Dalles, walking the streets and taking advantage of the free downtown parking! The home features a wonderful piece of artwork titled, "All Around The Dalles".

There are wineries, hikes and fun brewpubs to explore in this part of the Gorge.
And when we come back to The ViewPad, the couch is crazy comfy. We love hosting friends in the convivial atmosphere of the great room. We immediately added swivel bar stools - and my husband crafted a live edge dining table with seating for eight.
