What a fun house to explore, hang out in, and see the weather roll through the Gorge! Thank you for sharing it with others to enjoy. We had a relaxing time and found pretty much everything that needed in the home. TONS of space. It was challenging to find each other in the house at times! Lots of toiletries, supplies, kitchen needs (except for any sort of mixer - no standing one or hand mixer to be found in all the cabinets and drawers). The pool was clean, relaxing, and the highlight of the home. We were happy to see the lock up high on the pool room door to give peace to parents of young children. The pool water felt nice - we were trying to figure out if it was a salt pool. It didn't smell strongly of chlorine or feel irritating to our skin. The floating pool toys all had holes in them and could use replacement, but our kids still enjoyed diving for rings, and shooting balls in the floating hoop.
A couple of drawbacks: The house itself is quite chilly because of all of the concrete floors. Although we requested the heat to be turned on in the pool, the heat in the house was not adjusted for fall/winter, and we had to call maintenance to help us. Speedy service and friendly conversation with the two who came to help! Thank you! We had hoped they could fix the fireplace in the main part of the house to cozy it up a bit, but it was broken. The heat was adjusted a bit, and made a difference in our comfort.
The back master bathroom is freezing since it looks like it was originally part of the garage - bring lots of layers and wear slippers! Could use some extra heat back there somehow. The wash machine looked as though it hadn't been used in a while - there was some mold in the detergent dispenser - could use a good cleaning. All other rooms/bathrooms/kitchen were clean and tidy, though! There were a couple of random maintenance things that needed updates: The glass cover on one of the light fixtures was sitting on the bed when we arrived, and the curtain rods in the master off of the pool room were broken and falling off of the walls.
The only other feedback we'd give is cleaning/sprucing up the exterior front entry area. Although it's fall and lots of leaves/debris easily collect in the windy gorge, it could have been a bit more welcoming. We were glad that we arrived during daylight, since the driveway with some parked trucks/vehicles and surrounding areas are not exactly 'homey.'
Overall, we enjoyed this home and could see it easily accommodating a larger group of friends / couples! The huge kitchen / island would be great for parties and celebrations, for sure. The views are pretty stunning! We were grateful to finally see Mt. Hood on our last morning there when the clouds blew out of the way.
