A breathtaking setting awaits at this hilltop estate in The Dalles, stunningly situated with sweeping views across vineyards, rolling countryside, and the mighty Columbia River. It's an experience you won't soon forget - watching the sun come up over the river and gathering on the deck at golden hour to tell stories around the gas firepit.
This four-story home enjoys an elevated position up above The Dalles, just over three miles from the heart of town. Its secluded, east-facing position grants it gorgeous sunrise views and wonderful privacy - yet you're still close to all sorts of natural wonders. Take a scenic drive to the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center (seven miles), Rowena Crest (13 miles), the Mosier Plateau Trail (17 miles), or the Coyote Wall Trail (24 miles). Your vacation rental also includes a pass to the Dalles Athletic Club, the largest and only full-service club in the gorge!
Whether your days are spent hiking or windsurfing, you'll delight in returning to this beautiful piece of property. Bring a glass of local wine outside to the terraced deck and watch your kids play in the yard overlooking the river.
Inside, the living room acts as the heart of the home - a place to play board games by the fireplace, stream movies from the comfort of the sofa, or curl up in the window seat with a good book and a great view. There's also an eat-in kitchen (with double ovens, a six-burner gas range, and a French-door fridge) and a window-lined dining room.
The expansive primary suite has the top floor to itself, offering a smart TV, an en suite bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower, and a loft-like home office for those hoping to work remotely. There are two more bedrooms on the third floor and one on the lower level. A second home office on the bottom floor doubles as a sleeping space and opens to the deck. Other home essentials include a Pack 'N Play, central air, and a washer/dryer.

Stunning views
I grew up in The Dalles, with a view even, but this was such a beautiful property. Very quiet. Well appointed kitchen. Wine weekend with the ladies was a success.

A Dreamy Nook Club Retreat!
Our book club had the most incredible retreat at this cabin in the woods! From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by breathtaking landscapes—tall trees, fresh air, and a peaceful setting that made for the perfect escape.The home itself was stunning and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of space for our group to relax and connect. The cozy atmosphere, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms made everyone feel right at home. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus—there’s nothing like unwinding in the warm water while taking in the gorgeous surroundings!Everything about this stay was accommodating to everyone in our group, making it truly stress-free and relaxing. Whether we were curled up with books by the fire, enjoying meals together, or soaking in the peacefulness of nature, it was an unforgettable experience.If you’re looking for a serene, beautiful getaway that combines comfort and relaxation, this is the place! Highly recommend, and we’d love to return.

Lovely, relaxing house. Wonderful views.
The house is way out in the country. We are a group of friends who have been vacationing together for more than 50 years. We spent most of our time in the house visiting and relaxing. It was a great vacation.

Relaxing location with great views!
We loved the location in the orchard particularly after a long day of site seeing and hiking. Relaxing on the deck and watching the sun set over the river was wonderful.
