If you want to be surrounded by nature, want knockout views, but still want to be within easy driving distance to stores and restaurants, this is it. We are close to white water rafting, waterfalls, the Columbia River and all its sports, great hiking, berry picking, wineries, fishing. We are taking special care to sanitize and have sanitizing products available to guests. The space This custom built house is secluded, situated among oak and pine woods and prairies, yet only a few min. from White Salmon, Washington, in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge and all the recreational activities of the region - fishing, wind surfing ( only 6 mi. to the Hatchery!), hiking, white water rafting, mountain biking, berry picking, mushroom hunting, wine tasting at local vineyards. In the winter, Mt. Hood ski area is 45 min, south and close by is cross-country skiing and snow shoeing. The New York Times Jan. 10 edition listed White Salmon, WA as one of the top 'hot' spots in the world to visit in 2013. Check it out: NYT "10 Best Places to Travel". We have a million dollar view of Mt. Hood and the Columbia River from the terrace of our house. You can watch the magical light show on snow covered Mt. Hood as the sun rises, passes over and sets in the evening. And it's free for all of us! The house is architecturally unique, featured in a book on Northwest homes. It was built of eco-friendly materials so that its thick walls keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. All the beams and woodwork are from a 100 yr. old dairy barn that was 'repurposed'. The gorgeous view over the Columbia River and Mt. Hood can be enjoyed from two terraces. It has a fully equipped kitchen, cable TV, Wi-Fi, fireplace, washer-dryer, a library of guide books and maps for the area, outdoor grill, . The house has two bedrooms, sleeps 4. It is comfortably furnished with a mix of antiques and upholstered furniture. The house is part of a compound that also includes a yurt and a barn (with two additional bedrooms and a bath - additional listings.) As for dogs, let's talk. Maybe. There are great restaurants in both White Salmon and just across the Columbia in Hood River, OR. We have traveled around the world and find this spot one of the most lovely on the planet. Guest access You will have the whole house as well as access to the whole property.
