Overview

With its sweeping views of the Columbia River and Rowena Canyon, this striking four-bedroom cabin is ideal for your next family-friendly vacation. The peaceful, six-acre property is home to a variety of wildlife and is great for watching large birds of prey gliding on the cliff updrafts right in front of the house! The area is also known for its hiking, fishing, watersports, fruit farms, and wineries, and is a short drive from the shopping and restaurants of Hood River.

You'll fall in love with the main level's floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the river, as well as its high vaulted ceilings, comfy furnishings, and all-wood interior. The flatscreen TV will stream your favorite Netflix movies and shows whenever you need a break from the river, and the central AC will cool the home down on hot summer afternoons.

The full kitchen is the dream of any family chef, with stainless steel appliances that include a French-door refrigerator and a dishwasher, a center prep island, and lots of storage and counter space. The kids can enjoy your home-cooked meals from the three barstools and the wood dining table has seating for up to 10 guests. Outside, you'll find a fully enclosed wrap-around deck equipped with a new six-person hot tub, a large gas grill, and plenty of outdoor seating.

Use the high-speed WiFi to listen to some good music or research a new local adventure. After a day out and about, the private washer/dryer will easily knock out everyone's dirty laundry while you take the family dogs out for a good walk. When it's time to call it a night, you'll have four bedrooms to enjoy and the living room includes more sleeping accommodations for extra guests.

We had a nice 2 night stay at Crow's Nest. The location of the house is spectacular with amazing views up and down the Columbia Gorge. The house is well stocked and nicely equipped with all the modern conveniences one comes to expect from a high end vacation rental. I am not giving this property a five star review due to two nit picky management issues and has nothing to do with the house itself:
1. The property advertises a ping pong table (clearly shown in the photos) which was not available or not accessible. We learned this after booking and after arriving at the house. We were looking forward to playing ping pong because we are a multi generational family and it's one of the few activities we can all do together.
2. The property manager requires a 10:00 am check out which in my opinion is earlier than most and we found it inconvenient and felt rushed in particular with senior citizens who need more time and teenagers like to sleep in. Most rentals give you at least until 11 or 12:00.

Aside from those two issues, the house is worthy of 5 stars and we would probably stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay! The gorge views were incredible, and the patio was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. We even got to see deer nearby. The secluded, beautiful location made for a truly relaxing getaway. We would definitely stay here again!

Such a fantastic Airbnb and great, attentive hosts. Looks and feels homier and more spacious than the photos. We’d come back here a hundred times over, thanks so much for having us.
