Great location on a quiet street for kids to enjoy running around. Lots of trails nearby. Love the views out the front windows. Kitchen could use a few more essentials. Grocery store is not close so stock up before settling in. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Only 1 bathroom is a little inconvenient. Needs a few more pots, pan. There is an empty jug and some cereal in spider web in the upstair storage? No curtains. The rest of house is clean.

Salmon fishing trip on the wind river

An old structure built using materials used decades ago. Reminded me of my youth Remodels completed in the kitchen and bathroom were nice. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. Thought the price was very reasonable.

Quiet & Clean

This house was very clean & quiet during my stay. I stayed here 3 nights for Thanksgiving. House was well equipped and everything was in good working order; Washer/dryer, stove, fridge, dishwasher, furnace. The beds were comfortable. There are several hikes and walking trails close by, saw several deer and elk. There are a few things I want to point out; There is no entertainment i.e. TV, radio, we brought our sound bar and used our phone for music. I wish they had radio/music-TV, Cleaning supplies would had been nice for us to use (broom/dust pan/vacuum) for spilled sugar. The outside overhead lightbulb between the garage and laundryroom door needs to be replaced. We baked for Thanksgiving, measuring spoons/cups would had been nice. There are NO window coverings in the entire house, which is fine in the daytime. However, at night it felt like a fishbowl. They really need to put up some window coverings. We enjoyed our stay, and would recommend and go back.

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.

Property is owned by Skamania County that works M-thurs. They never sent the key code for the house I paid for to enter on my birthday Friday 10/04. It took me 2 hours of asking for help from the towns people of Stevenson, WA the county seat. Finally VRBO called their emergency phone number & I received a call from a manger that apologized & gave me the code. I will be writing the county & the local newspaper to submit my complaints. Brittany needs to be reprimanded!

This place is wonderful! My husband and I got married on Drano lake and this cabin was a perfect place to stay with our friends. There is plenty of parking, clean, quiet, and overall a really cool location. It was easy to rent and get instructions. Everyone who stayed loved it. We will definitely be coming back!

Bridge of the Gods 1/2 Marathon trip!

I brought my son and a few of his high school XC friends to run the Bridge of the God's half marathon. This house was absolutely perfect! They had plenty of space in the yard to play frisbee and they went on multiple walks and runs. The house was very clean and beds were very comfortable! We would love to come back next year!
