LITTLE HOUSE on the HILL - Gorge Getaway Home Base

This little house started life as a woodworking shop. When we outgrew it, we made it into a guest house. It may be imperfect, but it's perfectly adorable. We have a little peek of Mt. Hood from the yard. The territorial views are lovely. At night, you can enjoy the beauty of a Milky Way sky far from city light pollution.

Come. Enjoy. Relax.

SETTING
Situated on five acres near the main house, in a quiet rural neighborhood, this bright, cheery space is about 10 minutes, (5.5 miles) from White Salmon's charming pubs, restaurants, shops, and grocery. Hood River is about 20 minutes (10 miles) away - just a short hop across the Hood River toll bridge ($3.50)*. It's a restful country retreat or a practical home-base for your Gorge adventures or business travel. It's a quiet spot great for relaxing and as a home-base for Gorge adventures, but if you want to be in the thick of things or you want more immediate access to the river and main highway, it's probably not the best choice. Many people feel the location is perfect; please consider whether it is perfect for you before booking.


*You can buy a BreezeBy pass from the Port of Hood River, which reduces the cost by half. Search "Port of Hood River breeze by accounts" for more information.

PARKING
Parking is at the end of the driveway and is marked. We keep 2 spaces available for guests and can make more available if needed. We have had guests with fishing boats, motorcycle trailers, and RVs.

LAYOUT
The house consists of two large rooms with a connecting open doorway. One side includes the living and dining areas, and kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, and built-in electric oven with stove. The second side contains the sleeping area, bathroom, closet/laundry. The sleeping area has a queen bed, small dresser, bedside stand, and curtain, which allows for bedroom privacy while maintaining bathroom access for all. There is no door on the bedroom, which may not be ideal for those with infants, small children, or snoring issues. The floors are laminate, ceramic, and vinyl composite tile.

BEDS
Although the space is ideal for two people sharing the queen-size bed, a queen-sized Murphy bed is installed in the dining area of the large room, and two single cots or cot mattresses are available upon request. If you want to use the Murphy bed, we will adjust the position of the dining table and chairs so everything will fit. We also have a Pack 'n Play play yard with a full-size removable bassinet. The bassinet weight limit is 15 pounds; the play yard has a weight limit of 30 pounds. Please let us know what you need BEFORE arriving so we can set it up for you.. (Please also see the layout notes.)

WORKSPACE
An office chair, a desk with a lamp, and a color laser printer are in the large room. The printer is set up on the wireless network but a 10-foot USB printer cable is included in case of connection difficulties.

NATURE
You may hear coyotes at night or doves cooing in the trees. Nature is all around us. If the sight of a daddy-long-legs fills you with fright, best not to stay here.

PLEASE ASK US!
If you want something specific, please ask. We'll do our best to accommodate. We want you to have a stress-free stay. If you arrive and realize that you forgot to make a request, whether for bed set-up, an additional guest, or any other detail, don't hesitate to let us know. Give us an opportunity to be helpful. We like doing that!
