Beautiful and serene stay on the Gorge
A beautiful and peaceful stay along the Columbia River. The sauna was what drew us to the property originally (and which totally delivered), though it was the small and tasteful details that ended up making the experience an unforgettable one. Would recommend staying at the Gorge Onsen without any hesitation to anyone looking for a unique getaway.

A true garden spa
Loved the fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers - and the sake was a nice touch! Good location to visit the Columbia River Gorge, Portland, Mount Hood, Willamette Valley and the Oregon Coast. Oh, and stargazing was awesome!

The Gorge Onsen
Our group really enjoyed our stay at The Gorge Onsen. We took advantage of all the amenities on the property besides the fire pit. The house has a very cozy, quiet and peaceful feel to it. We were gone most of the day exploring the sites of the Gorge (and Portland) but we could've just as easily stayed at the house all day and enjoyed the propery. We were there for three nights but wish we would've stayed for at least five. Looking forward to returning one day! We visited in July but seems like a great year-around destination.
