Peaceful Getaway w/ Stunning Views, Deck! Hike, Mtn Bike, min to river! Sleeps 5
Our home is a custom-designed / custom-built, 2 bedroom and 2-1/2 bath house, designed to take advantage of the amazing views atop Burdoin Mtn. which sits at 2000 feet elevation just above the town of White Salmon. We offer excellent access to all types of recreation including windsurfing, kiting, biking, and hiking. Hike or bike from the doorstep with public access to one thousand+ acres of top-rated trails connecting within minutes to three of the Gorge's prime attractions including the renowned Coyote Wall/Syncline, Major Creek, and Catherine Creek, as well as Hospital Hill and the Evergreen Highway. Coyote Wall is considered one of the top ten must-see attractions in the state of Washington. River access is within a 20 minute drive. We oriented our house to take advantage of the views and built the living room as a partial octagon so that it focuses on 12,450 foot Mt. Adams and the surrounding territory. Wildlife abounds, with privacy, solitude, peace and quiet. It's a great retreat for recreation/sports seekers, writers, readers, a small family, a couple wishing a romantic or quiet getaway, or a solo traveller. Private 15 acres of solitude to enjoy. Within a short hiking or biking distance is a most spectacular Gorge view, overlooking a panoramic expanse of more than 70 miles of Columbia River Gorge from 2000 feet of gently sloping bluff---the Columbia River to the West, to the South overlooking the Hood River Valley and town of Hood River plus a stunning image of Mt. Hood, and to the East you gaze up the mighty Columbia towards the high deserts of Eastern Oregon and Washington. We have a lovely deck along the east side of the house overlooking our field--a perfect spot for morning tea, coffee, or even breakfast! Every room in our house offers a unique view of its own, even the bathrooms. Our open-design kitchen has all modern stainless steel amenities, plenty of custom counter tops with a peninsula for seating. Upstairs in the Master area we have a queen bed. There is a sitting area adjacent to this bedroom and a full bathroom with a clawfoot tub and shower, of course with views. The downstairs/daylight basement bedroom also has direct access to an outdoor patio, with a bunk bed double mattress on the lower bunk, twin on the upper, and its own full bath/shower. Our house was designed to provide a cozy and warm atmosphere, with plenty of privacy and modern amenities and to incorporate the beautiful nature and surroundings of our hilltop paradise. Our home is 'green' and healthy, with natural floor coverings, high-efficiency updated appliances. We have nationally ranked top-tasting private community well water. You can be assured that you will return home after your stay feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, well and healthy, and perhaps happily exhausted from recreation!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a kitchen island. Housekeeping is available on request.

Wonderful Retreat!
We loved our stay in White Salmon! The house was great, the area was relaxing and not in hustle or bustle but close enough to White Salmon and Hood River for restaurants and recreation. The host is fantastic and friendly and eager to help. We really have a wonderful time.

Relaxation Retreat
My husband and I had the most relaxing stay here! Lisa, your awesome directions and welcome gift had us feeling taken care of right from the start! The house has everything one would need for a comfortable stay, and the peaceful surroundings really enhance the experience. We were a little disappointed to find that the viewpoint described in the listing is no longer accessible, but we enjoyed several lovely walks around the property and surrounding area. If you are looking for a place to rest and relax while connecting with nature, this is the place for you!

Perfect social distance getaway for the kids!
We were looking for a place to unwind with the kids and this house delivered! The kids enjoyed the wild life (deers, wild turkeys, and countless birds), running around the house, and exploring the tall grass & trails on the property. The views from inside and around the house were spectacular - and the Gorge View at the end of the 2-min walk was simply gorge-ous!
Lisa and Dave were great hosts - responsive and accommodative - and made us feel right at home!

Peace and Family Friendly Experience
A perfect place to get away from all the chaos of a busy life. The house brought our family comfort and a quiet environment to play board games, read and bbq with an incredible view all around. From our walks every morning and night around the property to our times to sit and enjoy the full moon and stars, it felt like we were staying in a tree house. So close to all the fun. We white water rafted at Zoorafters (AWESOME), hiked to 5 different waterfalls, enjoyed a soak in the hot springs at Carsons Mineral bath house and did the ropes course at Skamania Lodge. We stayed during the hottest week in July and the house does not have air conditioning. It was very warm, but it helped to leave the windows open and we brought extra fans. All in all, a comfortable stay.

Wonderful - Great for a long term stay
We stayed at this property for a couple of months and fell in love with the breathtaking views and serene setting. Truly a treasure in the Columbia River valley. The property owner was great and graciously accommodating for our stay. We would highly recommend this location for anyone wanting to experience the natural beauty and nature of the area.

Unique Night Sky, Custom Home, Gracious Landlords, Access to Scenic Trails and Mountain Views
Imagine flipping over on your belly and to look out the window right at the head of your bed and seeing a beautiful sky full of stars. Going to bed in this beautiful home is as wonderful as the daytime views of Mount Adams, fields, hills and trees.
The house is designed and decorated in a very personal style that we found it both pleasing and practical. We were there for 10 days and cooked many meals in the well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed afternoons and evenings in the spacious living room and on the deck (both with a full view of Mt. Adams).
There are many local options for scenic running and hiking trails, including the very close access to stunning views of the Columbia Gorge and Mt. Hood. Other activities within driving distance include white water rafting, the beautiful Maryhill museum, the Stonehenge replica, and many excellent wineries. We especially enjoy Cascade Cliffs in Wishram, Memaloose and Tetrahedron in Lyle.
Lisa and David are the most gracious and helpful hosts that you can imagine. We felt as if we were their honored guests. You will find this house to be perfectly equipped and the hosts to be there to answer any questions.
If you are considering staying in the White Salmon area, our family wholeheartedly recommends this home.

Beyond expectation
My 9 year old daughter and I had a great experience at this special location. The home was replete with all essentials, and it felt very homey and welcoming. It's an extremely quiet and private space, with easy access to White Salmon, fruit orchards, rafting, hood river etc. the views from almost every room are magnificent. Be sure to bring warm clothes for the very cool mountain evenings. And enjoy the Lammas, humming birds and deer.
