About this property

We look forward to sharing our dream home and community with you.

We are literally one block from town and secluded on a quiet section of Sherman Avenue. The stairs leading into town are 100 yards away.

Start your day with an adventure, with coffee in bed or within a couple of blocks you'll have several cafes to chose from. After coffee, its a 10-15 minute walk to the beach.

You'll also want to check out the shops and have some wine or beer at the many wine tasting bars and brew pubs. Return to freshen up for dinner then walk back down and enjoy our local PNW cuisine. No problem if you get a little tipsy. Its an easy walk home.

No expense was spared in building our home and your studio.

You'll sleep soundly on a new Parklane king-size bed that actually splits into two twins. Just ask for us to split them. Its no problem.

The space is open, airy and partially sub-terrain. You'll like how it naturally maintains a pleasant temperature. Even though it is set back into the hillside you are elevated from the road providing a better view and sense of privacy.

You have your own private entrance and completely separate living quarters. You are not sharing your space with us.

Jon loves to wing, kite, road bike, mountain bike, hike, dirt bike, snowmobile, snowboard, alpine ski, cross country ski, snowshoe, SUP and kayak.

Nancy is learning how to wing, does yoga every day, road bikes, hikes, cross country skis, snowshoes, kayak's and SUP's.

Just let us know what you'd like to do and what your interests are. We'll let you know where to go and provide some local tips.

We have a secret breezeway for you to store your bikes, boards, etc., and a great place to let your wetsuits hang dry. We've also got a hot and cold water spigot out front to hose anything off.

We've been Hood River residents since 1993. Nancy is a native Oregonian.

We hope to see you soon!

Perfect for the Solo Traveler!

This is my second time staying at White Cap and it's still a great place. The location in town is ideal - close to excellent dining and fun bars, yet on a quiet street. The unit is very comfortable and has everything you need for a home base. Many thanks to the attentive hosts!

Wonderful location

The listing description accurately describes the property. Parking was very convenient and easy close to downtown. Very short walk to winery tasting rooms and food. Check in process was easy. The room had all the needed amenities and was clean. Bed was very comfortable. We had an opportunity to meet the owners, they were very pleasant and kind.

River life

Had a wonderful 1 year anniversary weekend. The property was perfect. This was such a cozy place for us with perfect walking access to DT Hood River and to the event site/sandbar for our water activities. Couldn’t have asked for better hosting and cleanliness. Truly enjoyed this property, and will for sure return again soon!

Perfect Little Studio!

This studio was in a great location for Hood River and had all the amentities we needed. We did not spend much time in it as we were in Hood River to get married and we're at other events and locations but the time we were there was great. The host very kindly put a bottle of sparkling at the door on the day we got married too, and that was a kind surprise to come back to. Only odd thing is the parking is reserved by a traffic cone, you move it away to park. But no issues with that.

This was a perfect spot to stay for the weekend in Hood River. Super close walk to the "downtown" road. Had a really comfy bed, was nice and bright, and had what I needed (no full kitchen, but great for short stay). Thanks for a lovely stay!

Beautiful Studio

The only thing I would recommend the bed was a little too firm for my liking and need better bathroom lighting not good for makeup lighting. Other than that it is a great place to stay with delicious local coffee.

Cute - Clean & great location!

We flew into Portland for a wedding in Hood River and needed a convenient place to stay. Upon entry, we noticed how clean the condo was, and how cute it was decorated. Because it was so conveniently located to the downtown area it was a great location for walking to lunch and dinner. We also enjoyed driving over to the Tanamadas (sp.) hiking trail which was absolutely gorgeous! After the Wedding, we took an extra day to drive over to Cannon Beach. Got some great photos of: Haystack Rock & watching the local dogs play in the sand. We would highly recommend this condo again! 😁

Great Property & Location

Large, clean, modern studio unit. Great location, just a few block walk to all the downtown shops. Ideal street parking in front of the unit. Owners are in the 2 story building above. They are super nice, and go with your flow: if you want info, they are really helpful with advise on the city, and places to eat, info on watersports. Front porch is a great place for a morning coffee or afternoon drink. Quiet, safe street. Would stay here again for sure. Nice trees and wooded street, so during our summer visit did not have a view of the river.

Very nice, but no windows! No natural light or fresh air.

It really was a nice space, besides the fact that we always sleep with a window open, and this space only had the glass front door, and one small window that was filled with an AC unit. Nothing we could open for fresh air at night! And barely any natural light, if we wanted the door curtains closed for privacy (doors open onto the road, so we generally needed them closed). The first night we slept with the very loud AC on, as well as a terribly loud ceiling fan. It was pretty awful for both of us, noise wise. The last two nights, we figured out how to put the AC unit on fan-only, which was more tolerable for sleeping, and skipped the ceiling fan altogether. The little mini-fridge had a basically unusable freezer; it was so overcrusted with ice I could barely fit an ice pack from my cooler in there. Two people could hardly share the tiny shower as well. We could also hear every time the owner in the unit above flushed the toilet, or when their phone rang, etc. It was a bit surprising to feel that intimate with them. Other than that, the stay was great. The building itself is very beautiful, the space was clean and had everything we needed. We met the owner the first day and he was friendly and nice.

Just let us know what you'd like to do when you're here. We'll let you know where to go and/or just plan an adventure with you.

Why they chose this property

We've owned this lot since 1991. It had another home on it that was rented and a favorite for visitors because of its location. We just underwent a 2+ year demolition and rebuild. Many of those who stayed at our old home are now permanent Hood River residents. This new home is WAY better.

What makes this property unique

This is our dream home and community. We are literally one block from town and surprisingly secluded on a little known section of Sherman Avenue.

No expense was spared in building this brand new home.
