Peaceful Getaway

Stayed here with our family. We had a great time. The home was clean, quiet and peaceful with the small river just behind it. Beds were comfy and had a lot to offer.

So peaceful

I stayed with a friend for 3 nights in April. We saw elk, wood ducks, and other brightly colored varieties of ducks. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, and kitchen was well-stocked. We enjoyed our time so much that we canceled a planned outing in order to enjoy the property more. Though the weather was lovely during our stay, it would have been just as enjoyable in the rain or cold because the big picture windows are perfectly situated. And to top it off, the host is congenial and communicative (though not overly so). Very pleased with our stay!

Beautiful private location. The calming view of the stream was amazing. We got to observe a family of deer outside the property during breakfast. Host was easy to contact. Star link internet was great.

Out in the Wild Woods

We’ve loved being out and away from everything and this spot was just perfect… love having the windows open at night to listen to the river, flow and birds sing in the morning. Didn’t mind the drive into Hood River or into Washington Wineries as it kind of gave us a central point for both. Brent was wonderful to deal with as a property manager/owner and answered my questions in a very, very timely manner.

Lovely home in the Columbia River Gorge

My wife and I stayed here while visiting family on the area. It was such a relaxing spot to come home to at the end of a long day out. Sitting by the Little White Salmon river right in the backyard is incredibly relaxing. Also an easy ~25 minute drive into Hood River.

Amazing Anniversary Retreat

We had a wonderful time during our stay, celebrating our wedding anniversary. The private natural setting, the sound of the river, and the chance to unplug and relax made this the ideal spot for our get-a-way. Brent was a very thoughtful and responsive host, and the home is beautiful. Looking forward to next time!

Comfort in the forest

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely, comfortable home in the forest. It rained 2 of the 4 days we were there, but that made a nice excuse to relax in an armchair next to the amazing windows with a book and a mug of tea. The driveway is roughly 1/3 mile long, which makes a nice daily stroll. We loved seeing the skunk cabbage and pacific dogwood in bloom. We also enjoyed exploring the area, per Brent's recommendations. Brent is a kind, friendly host and we are grateful to have had this time in Willard!

Enjoyed our stay very much, relaxed and close to nature

Given very clear direction by owner who also responded promptly with all queries. Home has beautiful picture windows to enjoy view of the river and surrounding woods. We're out during day to visit the Columbia River scenery and the long summer days made our evening back at house very enjoyable as well.

The babbling brook!

Spent 2+ weeks here. Our 7 y.o. grandson had his first fishing experience in the river. We loved the quiet, solitude, wildlife, dark skies and the wonderful murmur of Little White Salmon river in the background. The house had plenty of room for the 5 of us on weekends, and during the quiet weekdays it was nice to stretch out. It is about a 25 minute drive into the city of White Salmon. There's a local grocery store there that will have pretty much everything you need, and after shopping have lunch at the bakery which has wonderful sandwiches. We didn't want to leave! Brent is a wonderful host, he was great for suggesting local activities and filling us in on the history of Willard.

Peaceful retre5

Deep silence in a woodland setting, with gentle river sounds in the background. The house is very well equipped and comfortable, and the host is most responsive. We came seeking retreat from a busy life, and were renewed as we had hoped. The property is close to two parks, where we took lovely walks. Enjoyed seeing a herd of elks passing through one morning!

A great cabin!

We stayed at the cabin for six nights, and everything was great. We wanted to hike in the Gifford Pinchot forest, so this was a great location for day hikes. The owner was easy to work with and the house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. It didn't bother us, but we didn't have cell phone service or WiFi that worked reliably while we were there. Good to disconnect for a few days!

Incredibly outstanding

Accommodations were primo. Location was a bit hard to find. Map only took I on to Willard A tenant from Willard assisted us in locating the house once we explained to him that we were lost Wishes there had been a trail down to the water but just the same, the panoramic view was to die for One small issue. We encountered little tiny ants on the kitchen counters and even tho there was WI-FI available we had no phone service Definitely would recommend this location to friends & family Reason for our stay was to attend great nephew’s wedding in Hood River

Soothing getaway!

This is such a nourishing and relaxing space! It was clean and lovely inside, everything you could possibly need and…to have the windows opening to the sights and sounds of the river and the quiet of the surrounding forest was incredible. I stayed 4 nights… all that were available or I would have stayed longer! Elk came through the property every morning and night, an amazing old growth stand is just up the street and this was a great home base for accessing many hiking trails and outdoor explorations. My favorite day, though, was my ‘stay in’ day. Just lounged in the sun outside by the river and felt renewed. Brent is host extraordinaire! So responsive and happy to offer ideas about what to check out in the area. You can tell he takes great pride in sharing his family land. I would love to come back!

Great Family Getaway

We loved our stay. The house is comfortable with enough room for 7 of us. Kitchen is great. The outside was our favorite part as we spent each night in chairs by the river (big stream about 30 feet wide and 6 - 12 inches deep). The star gazing is wonderful. Tip: You can't really get to the river by the house, but there is a path to the right where you can get there. We saw a deer on the property and deer and elk while driving around. There is beautiful scenery pretty much any where you drive. Our downstairs bed was comfortable, and we were able to stay cool with the windows open. Tip: you can regulate the temperature by how much you have the windows open. Our only complaint was the upstairs was uncomfortably hot. More AC would help or upstairs windows that opened wider.

Great Getaway Home

We had a great fall getaway at the end of September 2016. This home was quiet and away in a beautiful location surrounded by forest. The Little White Salmon river was a tranquil view through big windows on both floors. And you could hear the peaceful trickle of the river at night from the upstair's king bedroom. The Sauna was also a nice added touch, and the grill was new. Brent Homan was very accommodating, allowing us to check in early and leave late, and all his directions were very good. We enjoyed looking out at mother nature every morning as we had coffee, and every evening as we had a drink. We hiked each day in the beautiful Gifford Pinchot Forest near the Pacific Coast Trail and then Mt. Adams. And we took a beautiful fall colors loop drive to Trout Lake and then to White Salmon, WA. I could go on and on. We will definitely be coming back again. The Youngs

Good area to ride bikes (12 mile round trip from house to Oklahoma Park), hike, Big Cedars Campground with old growth (800 year old) cedar trees and access to the Little White Salmon River is close by.

What makes this property unique

If you want to get away from it all in a serene, private setting and yet close enough to the Hood River area. Hood River Bridge is 20 minutes away. Hwy 14, 10 minutes away via Cooks Hill.
