River views! Sleeps 6, walk to wine and Sandbar

Welcome to my home in the heart of the Gorge! You're walking distance from the sandbar, the Klickitat Trailhead, wine tasting and more. Enjoy the views, explore the great outdoors, you're minutes from world-class kiting, kayaking, hiking, and fishing - or visit one of our local wineries, breweries, cider makers. Relax in sleepy Lyle or in just 15 mins you can be in Hood River for a night on the town! Furry friends (well-behaved dogs) are welcome. The space Enjoy a view of the Gorge from the kitchen, bedrooms and deck of this home. I stay here part-time so my kitchen is well equipped for home cooking. Guest access This rental is for the MAIN Floors only of the house. DOWNSTAIRS: is a separate basement apartment for rent. The SHARED laundry facilities are located downstairs. Please be respectful of the belongings of others. The back yard / garden is also shared space. Please note, I like to travel with my dog, and know how daunting that can be so I allow dogs to stay. Please be advised that even if you don't have a dog, there might be a furry friend in the yard - deer like to come hang out too. Don't worry they are more scared of you ;) If fruit is in season, please feel free to sample cherries, plums, grapes, etc! Other things to note Please treat my home as you would your own and leave it as you found it. TIP: Store the house keys in the lockbox when you embark on outdoor adventures. It's an easy way to ensure you don't leave them on a mountain top or at the bottom of the river ;) Bookings longer than a week and stays with Pets may require a higher security deposit and higher cleaning fee. PETS: Dogs are welcome, but please discuss the possibility of pets prior to booking, including size, type and number of pets. Your Dog should be spayed / neutered and well socialized. If not fixed or does not like to socialize, it may not be a deal breaker, but no off-leash privileges, you will be required to please keep your pet leashed and supervised in the yard. You are responsible for POO-PATROL. Please pick up after your dog. The landscaper comes on Fridays so if you could make sure the yard is picked up prior that would be great! Please no digging and destructive behavior. There are little spades in the back yard. If your dog is digging, please mitigate the damage. NO FLEAS please, only dogs who are flea-treated! All linens and rugs are laundered between guests, but fleas can be difficult to eradicate. I have small - medium sized dog beds and crates available upon request. GARBAGE: Longer term guests - Garbage day is Tuesday around 9am. please put bins on curb the night before or Tues morn & return them. There is a glass recycling bin on the front porch, as well as a general recycling bin. The regular garbage can is at the end of the walkway by the driveway/ upper deck. If you have stinky remnants from cleaning meat or fish - PLEASE tightly tie up in a separate garbage bag before tossing or it will get really smelly really fast in the hot Gorge weather. SAFETY: You can rest secure knowing that among my neighbors are a state trooper, a sheriff's deputy and a fireman - so you are surrounded by people who will be looking out for you! If you are looking for a party house, this is not the house for you. Respectful renters only, please. If you violate this rule, believe me, my neighbors will let me know! Speaking of neighbors, if you love yard sales and rummaging for antiques, the "cluttered" home on the corner of Tacoma and Klickitat Hwy despite appearances, belongs to a nice family. Robbie works for a realty company, clearing out foreclosed homes, which often come with all sorts of "treasures." Robbie will be happy to show off his finds- make him an offer!
