We had a wonderful time staying at the Lyle House on the Columbia. It was the perfect home base for several days of fishing and bike riding. We had everything we needed at the house. It’s right next to the Klickitat rail trail. There’s also a grocery market and coffee shop close by. Would choose this spot again.
