Cozy retreat close to trails
My coworkers and I stayed at this very comfortable home for 2 nights. We had plenty of space both to ourselves and to mingle with each other. The home is close to trails and a great launching point for exploring Gifford Pinchot.

Great place to stay to explore the area
We enjoyed the natural setting and quiet area and it was a great jumping off point for exploring the Carson and greater Columbia Gorge area. Wish we had even more time to stay and explore! We rented the two houses in the area and this worked very well for our small group - everyone was very comfortable and we were all able to gather in the larger house for meals. The houses are restored very nicely!

Lovely and Peaceful
This place was very clean and everything was in good working order. We stayed during the heat wave in July and the air conditioning was heavenly (We only used the downstairs bedrooms. The upstairs might have been warmer). It is quiet, and we loved the big living room windows showing the pastoral scene across the street. There was a herd of cows grazing peacefully morning and evening. As others have mentioned, the kitchen supplies were basic and there are no curtains for the windows. But this no-frills couple was very happy. I would definitely stay here again!

We always enjoy staying here - don't miss the TV or wifi at all. (4th time staying) It does seems like many kitchen utensils are missing, since previous visits - but we muddled through. Shower knob needs repair or replacement.

Historic Getaway
This was a great spot dor our family from both sides of the state to meet and spend the weekend. There were bedrooms enough for us all to have our own sleeping space and common space where we could all enjoy games together. We enjoyed the proximity to hiking and the outdoor spaces. We also loved learning about the history of Wind River. Thank you for keeping the home historic as much as possible. We just loved it here!

Base for our family
We loved this house and its location. The house was clean and just what were looking for as a base for our family during our son's wedding in Cascade Locks. Loved the area around the house and the history of this location. I hope we can make it back to stay again when we have more time to enjoy the area.

Great house, but a bit of a snafu
The good: the house is great, the location is peaceful, some good hiking nearby. The house is spacious, has all the basics, and the beds are comfy. The kitchen is a bit sparse in terms of of cookware, but enough to get the job done. As others pointed out, there are no curtains, but that didn't bother us too much. The bad: when we arrived, the house had not been cleaned from the previous tenants. The beds has dirty sheets, the floors was full of dirt and hair, trash can in bathroom overflowing, hair in the shower, etc. We tried to contact VRBO (incredibly difficult since there's no wifi and barely any reception), but VRBO customer service was attrocious. We tried contacting the host, but since it's a county office, they were closed (we arrived on a weekend). Our only choice was to drive into town to get cleaning supplies and detergent, and clean the house ourselves. We spent several hours washing bedding (there was no extra bedding), cleaning floors, taking out trash, etc. Eventually after we had pretty much finished cleaning, we found a paper with an emergency after-hours contact (who was not listed in any of the VRBO info). He was great, apologized for the issue, even came by to drop off his card. Eventually, he gave us a partial discount. The house being dirty when we arrived was a big bummer, but overall we ended up having a good stay. My one takeaway is that VRBO customer service is terrible and I'm not sure I'd use VRBO again.

Perfect getaway
The home was very spacious and updated. Our stay was limited in the house as we had a wedding to prep and attend. Communication with host was quick however when at the place there's no connection until you connect to the WiFi or you have a hotspot. A couple of suggestions would be to have the cleaning service done prior to arrival of guests with extra linen and laundry and dish soap. Other places also offer toiletries too. Luckily we had extra for all. Kitchen needs a blender and more sturdy cooking spoons. We noticed rodant activity around edges/corners of the kitchen countertops and floors at arrival, hence a bleach bottle would be good to have at hand. A mop, bucket and cleaning solution in utility room would also be useful. Instructions on how to leave the linen would be great. Hope we left the home as clean and organized as we could. It is a really nice neighborhood - we got to see the exhibit of the experimental forest on a small hike we did around the back. It is a great idea to bring more visitors into the remodeled homes. Thank you for letting us rent your home in the forest

For me, coming from a city, this is almost that perfect get away I was looking for…nice, quite and surrounded by beautiful forest, creek, range and mountains view. Would help a lot if we can get better cellular and internet connection. The property is in a good condition and the service from property management was very good.

Beautiful forest!
Very sorry, but we broke a glass tumbler. Also, there is a mouse in the kitchen, and someone has given it access to the countertop. Otherwise, we had an awesome time, and the beds slept well.

Unique location
Great unique little property tucked away, super quiet. Beds are comfy, house has a decent set up, but pretty much the basics in the kitchen. It was a great landing zone for our group. The only thing worth commenting on is no window coverings or screens, so that was the only thing we felt was missing or would have been nice to have. Other than that, we would absolutely stay again, great little quiet spot.
