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.

Things to Know
This is a rural property, and caution must be exercised with local fauna and flora. There are cliffs on the property, and the Gorge area has the potential for rattlesnakes and poison oak. Please be aware of your surroundings and monitor your children and dogs at all times.

We had a wonderful stay at Crow's Nest. The house was so warm and inviting, the beds super comfortable, and the hot tub was divine. I loved sitting in the living room and just looking out the windows at the Gorge. I can't recommend Crow's Nest more!

Overall the stay at this house was great, however we did encounter two very frustrating situations along the way that I did not feel the management company took seriously.

But first I'll start off with The Pros:
The house itself was great, very well stocked, easy to find, and a very beautiful view. The hot tub was a great addition and we felt very relaxed. The layout of the house was nice and provided quiet retreat for my whole family.

The Cons:
A few days before our arrival, we were informed that the game room had flooded and the space was no longer usable. I understand that this can happen but their "refund" was minimal and not indicative of the reduction of beds/space that we were now unable to use.

The temperature of the house upon arrival was VERY cold. I saw this was a complaint in other reviews but didn't realize how cold management would let the house get to. When we arrived it was mid-40s and it took overnight to heat up to an appropriate temperature. We did have elderly people which caused some concern. And again, after reporting this to management, they seemed to have little regard for this discomfort.

This house was simply breathtaking. The view from the windows and deck were absolutely stunning. The house was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils we needed. We do a lot of cooking so that was important to us. The location of this house is really the star, poised on the cliff over the Columbia River on The Gorge. Had an amazing visit and would love to return.

Booking for next year already! This will be our annual girl weekend location. Instantly felt at home. Views incredible. They thought of every creature comfort. Dog friendly is an understatement. Dog beds and toys everywhere. Pictures do not do justice to the cliffs depth and breadth.
