We loved our weekend stay at the little red house. Nice big open floor plan includes the living room, dining area and kitchen. The kitchen is well-lit and equipped, with a ton of counter space. We arrived in the evening and strolled a couple of blocks down to Mosier Company for some good food, drink and live music on their large patio. The next morning, I picked up groceries a couple of blocks the other direction at Brenna's market and had coffee on the porch looking out at the view. (Note: the view includes interstate 84, which is audible as well as visible. It didn't bother me, but just to note it's not a completely tranquil sound environment. I expect that will be true anywhere in the area, more so at places closer to the highway.) I walked from the house to a great hike past Mosier Creek Falls to the top of the hill there. As the host Martha says, "enjoy the pace of a small town." I much preferred Mosier to the traffic, tourists and parking meters of Hood River. If we came during hot weather, the pretty shaded side yard would have been a really appealing place for relaxing and reading, etc, and probably a good play area for kids. The one thing I didn't get is that the house is listed as 'beachfront.' Not sure how it qualifies as that...but we weren't there for windsurfing or paddling.
