All of Columbia River's recreational opportunities are right outside your door when staying at this Stevenson vacation rental! But that's not all, Mt. Hood lies just across the river, where hiking, mountain biking, and skiing can be found. After a full day of adventure, return to this 2-bed, 1-bath apartment for nightcaps on the deck—with to-die-for views, of course—followed by cuddles next to the wood-burning stove. Hungry? Dine in or seek out a waterfront meal in town, just 1.1 miles away.

Great location, affordable price

This was a nice spot to stay while exploring the Columbia river. Centrally located near the bridge of the gods, this was an easy jet to Carson, Hood River and Eagle Creek. It is an affordable option for two bedrooms and a small kitchen. There were enough utensils etc for limited meal prep but we wouldn't have been able to cook an elaborate meal. Be aware that this spot is (as shown on the map) right off the highway and train tracks, so you will hear traffic noise.

Rustic

I am ok with rustic and simple accommodations, however, I do expect clean. It was not the deep clean that I have come to expect from a vacation rental. The sheets, towels, and hard surfaces were all nice and clean, but there was dust, dirt and grime in the corners and on some of the fixtures creating a feeling of neglect. Additionally the outside was not what was pictured in the images of the posting. Again, there was a feeling of neglect to the deck space provided as well as the grounds surrounding the apartment.

Things to Know Before You Go

Our rustic hideaway in Stevenson was not quite what we expected. I booked this vacation rental in January of 2022 and the previous reviews up to that point were good. I had not checked back before our stay in September of 2022 and wish that I had. I would have to agree with some of the other reviews in both the positive and negatives of this trip. The positives are that the location is very convenient to touring the Gorge and surrounding areas, the view is gorgeous and that the hosts were kind in accommodating our group with a last minute change. The drawbacks are that this rental is right off a main road and the traffic is loud, at least in summer, throughout the day and even during the night. The trains which run throughout the day and night sound like they are going to come through the house, but by the third night we had adjusted to those sounds. I would say one of the most disappointing aspects of the rental is the overall feeling of a place that has not been kept up in comparison to the other vacation homes I have visited over the years. There is an odor in the main room, probably dog, as there is dog hair on the rug and sofa. Also, we had an intimidating encounter with the two dogs on property one morning while accessing our car. I truly hate to write a poor review, especially knowing that good-intentioned folks count on rental income. But I also want to spare other paying guests from feeling the disappointment we did. Perhaps with a little TLC, this rental could be an affordable and comfortable option for future travelers.

Peaceful and relaxing

I stayed with my kids over the weekend and the cabin had everything we needed to relax after a day of sight-seen in the beautiful Columbia river area. Chris is a great host and I would pick this location 10/10 times

Everything about this rental was fine. Not outstanding, but not terrible. Beds were comfortable and it was mostly clean. I’m not super picky, and I didn’t complain. There was some animal hair on the couches, slow drain in the tub, a few of the silverware weren’t cleaned properly (most likely from previous guests). Two big ole spiders I killed in the bathtub. And a train that runs very close to the property. I am sure if I had said something they would have taken care of the drain. I chose not, to do so. As I said. It was fine for a single person that used it as a landing pad for the beautiful area around it.

Fantastic View. Clean, quiet and welcoming

A great little place with a fantastic view of the Columbia River. The host, Charlie, was as helpful as one could be. Very friendly and kind. I stayed here over thanksgiving and cooked a whole thanksgiving dinner for my family. The kitchen is small, but definitely workable. The wood burning stove took me a few attempts to get going, but once it's lit, it warms the whole place (Firewood on site too... I'd recommend bringing dry tinder/kindling). Everything was clean and comfortable and cozy. It's a little out of the way from the next "slightly bigger town" but it's totally worth it for the views, the quiet, and the owner. We had a great time and I'd definitely stay again the next time I'm in that area.

Wonderful spot to rest our heads. Beds were comfortable and the space was great for 4 adults. Clean and taken care of. We would absolutely book this place again. Charlie was great about communicating the check in process and answering any questions. (A few things that would go a long way to improve the stay, but aren’t a big deal: There was no bath fan for the 1 bathroom, but there was a window. Coffee pot looked a little old and unclean, but worked just fine.) I still rate this an excellent stay!

The property was clean and manager was very nice. There was no soap or toiletries, which are always helpful. The biggest problem was the downstairs neighbor complained we were being loud, when we were doing nothing but watching tv and cooking dinner at 530. There was no one speaking loudly, kids playing, or adults drinking, Simply using the property. I'm guessing due to the houses age, it makes it so walking around upstairs causes creaks and noise. That said, it made us feel very uncomfortable and like we were walking on eggshells to try not to upset the neighbor. We were told to try and be quiet during the hours she is there, when the rental says quiet hours were 10pm. We were in bed at 9 and having to be close to silent at 6 pm is a bit difficult. If the downstairs tenant is so sensitive, doesn't seem like the unit should be used as a rental. Another suggestion woudl be to have coffee. Almost all rentals do. Thanks

This property exceeded my expectations! The home was sparkling clean, the location was great right in between Carson and Stevenson with a breathtaking view of the mountains and gorge. Charlie and Cheryll were the most friendly folk, they gave us awesome tips on where to go and what to see. They made us feel right at home, I hope to stay here again next time I’m in the area!

Good for solo and short but noisy/quirky house design

As another reviewer stated there is train noise but anyone who has stayed along the gorge on either side of the river will expect that but there is little to shield that noise from the property so it is quite loud especially with the windows open at all. If you are a light sleeper you will want earplugs. I slept through the noise once asleep but I am a deep sleeper. The part I was not expecting was the level of road noise. This place is not tucked back in the woods/away from the road. It’s probably about 50 yards from SR 14 so you get regular road noise in addition to the trains. The kitchen is decently stocked for basic cooking but clearly intended for most meals to be outside the residence. There is no formal dining/eating area so if you are using this with 4 humans it can hold that may be a detraction. If you are ok eating on the couch/chairs then you’re good. Plenty of seating and chairs. Wood for the stove etc. Also note this place has some interesting slopes to the walls/spaces. I’m 5’8 and anyone too much taller 6 ft plus probably would run the risk of hitting their head on the wall in the shower. The large beds leave little space to maneuver around them in the rooms. Be aware the beds are very firm. As a crash space for hiking and being out in the area or in warmer months using the outdoor space it would be good.

House is spacious, and decorated cute. Apon arrival i noticed immediately that the bathroom and living room were not clean. The online listing stated no animals welcome... But the couch was covered in hair, and the floor also. Didn't appear to be vacuumed either. The driveway is not the most convenient either. Manager responded quickly when reached out to. Overall the stay wasn't bad. Only real complaint was the house not being cleaned.

Great for what it is

This unit was much better than expected! Very clean with an excellent location! Easy drive to local attractions and restaurants. If you are a light sleeper the train can be annoying (almost hourly throughout the night it seemed). Comfortable beds, excellent kitchen accessories, and special extra touches were a nice touch! The only thing was the oven didn’t work on bake, only broil.

Terrible

Property is located in a junk yard with abandoned cars on jack stands and abandoned boats scattered throughout. This property was advertised with wi-fi and internet. There was no internet despite the check-in information provided an internet password. Upon immediate arrival, I called the Property Manager four (4) times the first evening, with no reply. I attempted to contact Property Manager the next day with no reply. It has been 7 days, and we have yet to hear from the Property Manager (owner). Location was on steep gravel driveway and was 50' from the highway with trucks; and 100 feet from the train tracks. I would give the overall rating a "0"., as in terrible; don't waste your money and time.
