Brand New Modern Home in Stevenson
The place was exactly as shown. Everything seemed brand new and the kitchen was well stocked with appliances. One of our group members is a house cleaner and even commented on how clean the place was! Great location for getting out and hiking, or staying in to relax. Would stay here again!

Tranquil & Cozy Retreat: Creekside Views + Hot Tub
Sarah’s home was as she said in the description. The setting among the trees and the creek was just what we were looking for. The hot tub was an absolute plus. The home was clean and comfortable. Sarah was very responsive answering our questions. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

2BR house with river and mountain views
Our little family had an amazing stay here! The place was pristine, well lit, very clean, and looked exactly like the photos. The kitchen was well stocked and the home is surrounded by much natural beauty. We also loved the towel warmer and very clean sheets and bath towels. Would highly recommend!

Barlow Haus
This home is a treasure and was even better than we thought it was going to be. You can tell that Tyler and Kelsey put their heart and soul into this place, even the smallest of details showed their love for this property. All the vintage appliances and worked great and the home had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The hosts were so helpful with directions and recommendations for things to do. The property is beautiful, you feel secluded, but you are not too far from the local restaurants and grocery stores in Sandy. it was a magical spot to spend the weekend. Thank you for sharing this special place with us. Will definitely book again in the future!

Cozy Scenic Area Cabin
Truly one of the best Airbnbs we have ever had the pleasure to stay in! Everything was perfect, and the host's are incredibly thoughtful with how they stock the Airbnb. So private and in the most ideal location for commuting to any Gorge activities. Waking up and seeing the view of the river from the bed is just unbeatable! We will definitely be back!

The Columbia House
I hope Travis counts his blessings when he goes to sleep at nights because he is a blessed man. This is a beautiful place and I’m an ideal location for anyone looking to escape to the mountains and enjoy the peace this world has to give. Ideally located, stunning views, and peaceful ambience.

Stunning Stevenson Retreat w/ Mountain Views!
We really enjoyed our stay in Stevenson! The house was centrally located to grocery stores, restaurants, bars, etc. The hosts provided everything we needed, including plenty of snacks and coffee. Looking forward to our next trip!

Relaxing Garden Cottage in Columbia River Gorge
Very sweet, artistic, caring details abound in this clean and warm woodland cottage. Perfect combination of feeling secluded and far from everyone inside the cottage, yet an easy stroll in to town. Stevenson is friendly and has multiple options for a weekend getaway. Optimal location for romantic weekend or BFF one on one! Fireplace, tub, coffee and outdoor garden provided the amenities needed to feel comforted, interior design quality kept my sensibilities engaged.
Your guide to Skamania
All About Skamania
Skamania is located in the Columbia River Gorge, one of the glories of the Pacific Northwest. This 90-mile-long canyon, carved out of the Cascade Mountains, cradles the wide Columbia River as it flows toward the Pacific Ocean. Steep cliffs and forests frame both the Washington and Oregon sides. Many visitors come to Skamania to visit the lodge in nearby Stevenson, but the gorge also offers a host of public hiking trails. If you’re seeking adventure, you can go wind-surfing or kiteboarding on the river, or if you’re more of a contemplative traveler, you can spend an afternoon on the Bridge of the Gods watching cargo ships pass through the Cascade Locks.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Skamania
The Columbia Gorge is the east-west gateway between rainy, temperate Western Oregon and drier, more extreme Eastern Oregon, so you will encounter four distinct seasons in Skamania, none of them overly harsh. A mild spring gives way to glorious summer heat, with averages in the 80s Fahrenheit in July and August and little humidity. Evening winds cool off the gorge by nightfall, so you’ll still sleep comfortably. After a crisp and pleasant fall, the clouds and precipitation arrive in November and remain through March. Rain usually gives way to snow in December through February, when temperatures drop below freezing.
Top things to do in Skamania
Multnomah Falls
Cross the Columbia River into Oregon, drive west on I-84 for 20 minutes, and you’ll hit the most popular natural wonder in the Pacific Northwest. Multnomah Falls is a 620-foot tall legend, particularly in the winter and spring when its cascades are particularly powerful. Viewing of the second largest waterfall in the United States is easy for both a quick photo op and a longer hike up 600 feet to the top of the falls, where stunning views of the Columbia Gorge await.
Dog Mountain
Twenty miles east of Skamania is 3,000-foot-high Dog Mountain, and one of the most scenic six-mile hikes in the gorge. The most-traveled loop includes some steep climbs as well as more level sections. (On weekends in spring and summer, you can take a shuttle from the Skamania County Fairgrounds to the trailhead.) From the highest point, you’ll be able to see Mount Hood and other Cascades peaks, as well as dramatic views of the Columbia River Gorge. Many people come here in spring specifically for the wildflowers.
Hood River
If you’re craving a touch of urbanity during your stay, Hood River is one of Oregon’s most charming towns and the windsurfing capital of the world. Nineteenth-century storefronts line its downtown, housing a variety of boutiques, and some of the state’s best breweries have tasting rooms on the river. In spring and summer, many Portlanders drive up the ridge to gather cherries, peaches, and apples at the region's many U-Pick farms.
