About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Prime Location! Park your car. Walk and bike everywhere!

We look forward to sharing our dream home and community with you.

We are literally one block from town and secluded on a quiet section of Sherman Avenue. The stairs leading into town are 100 yards away.

Start your day with an adventure, with coffee in bed or within a couple of blocks you'll have several cafes to chose from. After coffee, its a 10-15 minute walk to the beach.

You'll also want to check out the shops and have some wine or beer at the many wine tasting bars and brew pubs. Return to freshen up for dinner then walk back down and enjoy our local PNW cuisine. No problem if you get a little tipsy. Its an easy walk home.

No expense was spared in building our home and your studio.

You'll sleep soundly on a new Parklane king-size bed that actually splits into two twins. Just ask for us to split them. Its no problem.

The space is open, airy and partially sub-terrain. You'll like how it naturally maintains a pleasant temperature. Even though it is set back into the hillside you are elevated from the road providing a better view and sense of privacy.

You have your own private entrance and completely separate living quarters. You are not sharing your space with us.

Jon loves to wing, kite, road bike, mountain bike, hike, dirt bike, snowmobile, snowboard, alpine ski, cross country ski, snowshoe, SUP and kayak.

Nancy is learning how to wing, does yoga every day, road bikes, hikes, cross country skis, snowshoes, kayak's and SUP's.

Just let us know what you'd like to do and what your interests are. We'll let you know where to go and provide some local tips.

We have a secret breezeway for you to store your bikes, boards, etc., and a great place to let your wetsuits hang dry. We've also got a hot and cold water spigot out front to hose anything off.

We've been Hood River residents since 1993. Nancy is a native Oregonian.

We hope to see you soon!

Great place and awesome location

Nancy and Jon were great hosts. They gave us really good recommendations for wineries, hikes and restaurants. The location can’t be beat. It is a block from the down town area. Easy parking. The accommodations were wonderful, clean and everything that we needed. The outdoor seating was great for breakfast and drinking coffee from the primo Nespresso maker.

I want to say bad things about the place only so we can make sure we can come back! Clean, perfect lay out for two, walking distance to everything, and great Andrew friendly hosts. I’d return in a heartbeat.

Lovely Studio Stay in Heart of Hood River

My husband and I celebrated his special birthday in this lovely, just-renovated ground floor studio conveniently located one block from downtown Hood River. It was everything we'd hoped for and more--roomy, with a beautiful decor and very comfortable bed. We also made use of our inviting outdoor patio, where we sipped excellent morning coffee from the Nespresso machine and, in the afternoons, our own local wine purchases. Nancy & Jon, our friendly hosts, were very responsive and helpful -- we will definitely return!

Nice Place to stay that is really well located

I was the first guest to stay in Jon & Nancy's brand new apartment. They are great hosts and made sure there was coffee and homemade muffins to welcome me. The unit is a studio so not really well suited for anyone with kids (unless they're super young & not yet crawling) or more than 2 people. The location is ideal - just up the steps from town. There's a large area in back to store your kiting/biking/whatever gear & street parking was right in front of the unit (when facing the house it is in the lower left corner). 5 star review for location & hosts.

Cozy studio

Nice, cozy studio -toaster didn’t work -would be nice to have a small table on end of couch to put coffee on -would be nice to have a rug between dresser and bed as cement floor is cold in winter -would also be nice to have instructions for tv and list of available channels

We had an amazing stay! Most attractions were within walking distance, and getting around was incredibly easy thanks to its central location. The space was neat and clean and had everything we needed. Jon was a great host and offered recommendations from recreational activities to local events that we took advantage of. We would definitely rent again.

The owners, Jon and Nancy, were just finishing the spruce up when we arrived. VERY nice folks. They were welcoming and accommodating. The unit was well appointed and well cared for. Everything was clean. Downtown is just a few minutes away on foot, even closer on a bike. We would recommend and will rent again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Had a wonderful 1 year anniversary weekend. The property was perfect. This was such a cozy place for us with perfect walking access to DT Hood River and to the event site/sandbar for our water activities. Couldn’t have asked for better hosting and cleanliness. Truly enjoyed this property, and will for sure return again soon!

Perfect Little Studio!

This studio was in a great location for Hood River and had all the amentities we needed. We did not spend much time in it as we were in Hood River to get married and we're at other events and locations but the time we were there was great. The host very kindly put a bottle of sparkling at the door on the day we got married too, and that was a kind surprise to come back to. Only odd thing is the parking is reserved by a traffic cone, you move it away to park. But no issues with that.
