Location communications all great. Pictures seemed out dated. Without some TLC it’s truest a Diamond in the rough.

The place was absolutely wonderful!! Pool and hot tub were perfect. Beds so comfy.
It was a perfect spot for the main reason we were out there to go to the Gorge Amphitheater, straight shot only 40 minute drive. Lovely place to come back to after being at the Gorge Amphitheater all day. Definitely would recommend and go again.

Nice Home and a nice vacation
My family enjoyed our short vacation staying in this lovely home. It was a little far from the water than I was expecting and the hot tub stopped working for 1 day but was fixed right away so that was great. I am happy with our experience and would stay here again. Thank you so much.

Stay
House was great except there was no internet and TV didn't work. The pool was very dirty so we couldn't use it. The glass/screen door that goes into the house got stuck open at the latch so we had to remove the latch and left it in the garage. Bed was comfortable and the kitchen had all utensils we needed. Overall great stay..
