Modern, river-view home with 2 decks, Ping-Pong, fireplace & washer/dryer

You couldn’t ask for a more spectacular Columbia River Gorge view than the one from this stunner, boasting water-view decks both back and front, a huge yard, and a host of interior updates. Spend summer kayaking, paddling, fishing, hiking, exploring nearby state parks, or relaxing on the deck. Winter days are best passed skiing Mt. Hood, across the Columbia River in Oregon, about 60 miles away. There are many bars, restaurants, cafés, and other amenities within a mile in central Stevenson, and plenty more in nearby towns.

At the home itself, you’ll find hardwood floors, abundant natural light, an open floor plan, and the same lovely mountain views thanks to large picture windows. Skip the trip to the coffee shop each morning with your own espresso/cappuccino maker on-hand, then step into the sleek kitchen, outfitted with a full suite of stainless steel appliances, and whip up mealtime masterpieces. Serve your creations at the adjacent dining table, then explore.

After a day of outdoor adventures, cuddle up with cocoa in front of the bio-fuel fireplace if it’s chilly, or let the air-conditioning cool you down if it’s warm. Toss the day’s clothes in the washer/dryer, then fire up the grill on the deck for an easy family dinner. Unwind before bed with your favorite streaming program, play some PingPong in the garage, or use the free WiFi to scroll social media. Even better, use the telescope in the living area to admire the night sky, free of light pollution, then end the evening with a quiet conversation around the firepit on the deck.

When bedtime calls, 100% Egyptian cotton sheets will soothe you to sleep. Trains pass through Stevenson several times per day, so light sleepers may want to pack earplugs. The Gorge getaway you’ve been dreaming of awaits - all that’s left to do is book it.
