Summary:

Crow's Nest



The Space:

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.

Such a fabulous house for our girl trip. Four women over 65 who travel yearly together. This house is our favorite so far. The view was the star of the show. Gorgeous windows with an amazing view of The Gorge. Perfect sunrise and sunset photos from the deck. We did most of our own cooking and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The beds were comfortable and the house was super clean. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer setting for our trip this year. I hope to have a chance to visit again. Highly recommend this lovely home for a wonderful and memorable visit.

Beautiful Views and Well Appointed

This home is perfectly perched at the top of the hill for stellar sunrises and sunsets which we loved. Well appointed, had all the cooking supplies we could need. Hot tub was a great perk. Only thing to keep in mind is the house can take a while to heat up in the winter in sub 30 degrees so just be sure to run that and the fireplace immediately at check in and you’re good to go!

Lovely home

Home is lovely, wonderful location. Comfortable. we equipped. Clean enough. Wood Stove is pictured and we were told we could not use. Make sure you understand Vacasa's (property mgr.) pet fee prior to booking. Make sure to inquire about heat pump setting able to accommodate temperatures under 38 degrees as we existed in 55-60 degrees F in the house for the first six hours before getting a remedy.

Our June 2024 Stay

First off, the views from this home are nothing short of amazing. You can sit in either the dining area or living room and enjoy 180 degree views of the Columbia River gorge. The views from the deck are even better. We spent a lot of time out there. The bedrooms and dedicated beds were all comfortable. There living room also has two folding sofas that serve as beds. Although usable, those were not as comfortable. There are two full bathrooms on the main level and one ensuite bath in the primary bedroom upstairs. The kitchen was well stocked and we didn't miss any essential items. All appliances are fairly new and in great working order. Lots of cookware, flatware, utensils and coffee mugs! One of the huge plusses of this property (other than the view) is that there is so much space indoors to spread out. And if the weather is good, you can expand to the deck as well. We had 6 people during our stay and never did we feel cramped. The only complaint (and this is minor) is that the ping pong table in the gameroom is actually a mini-table and not full-size. The property description does briefly mention this, but you can only get to the game room by going outside and walking to the lower level of the home. Overall, the property is very nice and well cared for. And again, the views are incredible. We would stay here again.

Great place!

The home was great and the view was even better! The house had everything we needed and it was nice and secluded. The kitchen was completely stocked with spices, utensils, and coffee that was not expected but greatly appreciated! Our only concern was some wasp we found the first night. We found about 8 wasp in bedrooms and the kitchen the first night we were there. After that we didn’t have any problem. Overall would recommend 10/10!

A Gem in the Gorge

Spent my birthday weekend here with a group of friends and family, and the property was incredible. Dogs were in absolute heaven and the views from the deck and the bluff were amazing. The house was clean and there was enough space for everyone to be comfortable throughout the weekend. Not sure if it was the time of year or the area, but there were a ton of bugs in the area that came into the house while we stayed there. I will note, the place was clean when we arrived and we didn't see any of said bugs when we checked in but they showed up during our stay. Regardless of the critters, we had a really enjoyable time and would highly recommend staying again at this sweet pad!

Beautiful home and location. Unfortunately, wasps in the hvac

Our group of 10 stayed here for two nights. The house was beautiful, and the view was truly stunning. Unfortunately, we encountered a wasp problem. The evening we arrived, we did a walk-through of the house and found everything was in acceptable working order. We did find a handful of wasps inside, but all were slow moving and near dead. The next day, we encountered a few more wasps, which was becoming disturbing. The worst was yet to come. It got quite cold that night, rapidly dropping below freezing at sunset. My friend walked into their room on the end of the hall and found 7 wasps crawling around. We quickly started gathering them up and disposing of them, but they didn't stop coming. We pulled back the bed and found one crawling on the bed, and a disgusting number of dead flies, wasps, and several live wasps all around the floor register. Under this bed we also found two stuck-together socks that can only be described as "crusty". Gross. We went on to find wasps in every bedroom. The rest of our evening was broken up by finding more to get rid of. We disposed of 30+ wasps in total. The following morning I messaged the manager, Vacasa, through VRBO but got no response. I called VRBO support when I got home, and they got a Vacasa rep on the line who denied having gotten any communications from us as if their technical failures were our fault. I have yet to receive any compensation for our weekend of pest-control duty while they "wait for a local manager".

Absolutely Breathtaking

We booked this house as a last minute addition to our trip and boy are we glad we did! The property was meticulously clean, comfortable, and well appointed with a stunning view. Top of the end appliances, plenty of towels, linens, chairs, beautiful decor and an all around incredible home. We were from out of state so weren't sure of what there was to do around the home, but found that once we got there we didn't want to leave. The sole slight negative would be the yellow jackets while out on the back deck....which I'm sure would be easily solved by adding a few traps. We look forward to staying at this beautiful property again in the future!
