Skamania Lodge

8/10 Good
"One of the restaurant staff, Jolene, helped me by using the microwave to heat up soup I'd brought from home, because the rooms don't have microwaves. The exercise facilities were minimal, so keep that in mind and maybe plan to be outside, hopefully without poor air quality. The noise level from the fire pits was significant, despite many signs throughout the lodge stating quiet hours begin at 10pm. Something else to keep in mind when booking...if you want to sleep stay in a "resort view" room rather than a river facing room."

Breathtaking Views of Mt. Hood and Columbia Gorge, Huge Deck, Shuffleboard, Ping Pong, Trampoline

10/10 Excellent
"The views from the amazing deck were phenomenal. From our hillside location we looked down at Mt Hood on one side, and at the Columbia River on the other. Sadly, by the end of the first day of our two night stay, smoke from the wildfires obliterated that view. A deer family frequented the property. Our niece saw a family of rabbits. And both pheasant and turkey flocks would scurry by on occasion. The house was impeccably clean and comfortable. There were comfortable beds on each of its three floors, and the bottom floor had extra rooms. The kitchen was well equipped, but we ended up going to White Salmon for coffee. My only reservation about the house is that it has too few places to sit unless you used the chairs around the dining table. Otherwise, it was a perfect getaway, and we hope to rent it again next summer."
