Thank you for your review. It was our pleasure to host you and we wish you safe travels home.

We're so glad you enjoyed your vacation and the peace and quiet of our property! Hope to see you again, Lisa and Dave

Thank you for your review. We are so happy that you had such glorious autumn weather and that you enjoyed your stay in our home and in the charming communities around us. We strive to make our guests feel welcome and at home and appreciate your feedback.

Thank you for your response. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay in our home and that it was relaxing, that you were able to enjoy the the abundance of activities in the surrounding area, and that you appreciated the views from our house and deck! We are working on enhancing the views towards Mt. Adams from the living room and deck as I write this. :-)

Thank you for your review. We hope you enjoyed your stay and found everything to your satisfaction.

We're so glad you and your kids enjoyed your stay! Safe travels home and stay well.

We're so glad you had a peaceful and relaxing getaway! Very sorry about the inaccessibility of the view of the Gorge that was a few minutes' walk from our property. Modern times and changed attitudes :-(. I thought I had removed all references to that view access in our listing, so I'll go back through and find what is remaining of that description--our apologies that it was still in there.

We're so glad you enjoyed your family getaway! Stay well, Lisa and Dave

We're happy you enjoyed your stay in our Hilltop retreat and welcome you back again

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay but am sorry it wasn't completely to your satisfaction. Our house sits at a much higher elevation than the town of White Salmon, and is a constant 9 degrees cooler than Hood River. We built it with high energy efficiency values, utilizing the ground temp to cool the lower bedroom which is below grade, maintaining an ambient temperature of approx 68 degrees, and the upper floors are built to utilize efficient cross-ventilation when the windows are open on at least two sides of each room to take advantage of the constant cooler breezes at 2200 ft elevation. We have a ceiling fan in the living room and a floor fan in the upstairs bedroom to keep air circulating if it should become stagnant which it seldom does. We also have blinds that help keep the south and west sun exposure from heating the house through the windows which provide the strongest solar (heat) gain if not pulled. We state on VRBO that the house does not have air conditioning so I'm sorry you found it below your standard. We're happy to advise our guests if they feel uncomfortable in our house if you contact us to let us know during your stay.

You discovered our little secret of seeing the stars at night from bed :-). We love that. We're very glad you were able to take advantage of and enjoy all of the amenities inside the house as well as in the beautiful surroundings of the Columbia River Gorge. We try to offer each guest a unique and wonderful experience in our home.

We're very happy that you and your daughter found our home so welcoming and comfortable and well-suited to your needs, and that your stay was enjoyable. We find it a complete joy to sit back and watch the resident wildlife enjoying the peace of life on the Hill as well as our neighbors' llamas! We welcome you back again.

We are glad that you were able to take advantage of and enjoy the amenities of our house, including the nearby trails, and that it suited your needs well. Thank you for your review.

We are very happy that our House on the Hill suited your needs and helped to make a comfortable and enjoyable vacation for you. Meeting the needs of our guests, as much as we are able, is our pleasure. Thank you for your review. We hope you return.

Thank you so much for your review. We are so happy that you and your family were able to enjoy the unique experience of our home on the hill. We love the quiet, the stars, and even the lack of WiFi :-) which hasn't made it up the hill to our neighborhood yet. It sounds as if you did not miss one activity in the area which is just awesome. The Columbia River Gorge offers so much in diverse attractions and your family took full advantage of the area and its activities. We welcome you back and hope you visit again in the future.

Thank you so much for your response. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay in our home and we welcome you back again!

Thank you for your review. We are so glad you were able to enjoy our home and the natural beauty up there! We feel so fortunate to have a night view to the cosmos which is still pretty much undisturbed by artificial or urban lights. Once in a while we are lucky enough to wish upon a shooting star or meteorite too, as well as those awe-inspiring, earth-orbiting satellites (it never ceases to amaze me that they are up there). We welcome you back. Dave, Lisa and Family

We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and had a chance to see wildlife, enjoy the quiet, and have a relaxing vacation up on the Hill. We welcome you back, Dave and Lisa
