About this house rental
We chose to share our guest house primarily because the idea of sharing our stunning view appeals to us very much. We are so fortunate to have a view so special that we wanted to build a guest house for our friends and you!
We designed our 600 square foot modern guest house with the intent of creating a very private honeymoon suite.
It sits on concrete sonotubes about 18 feet up off the ground. The goal was to create a treehouse affect that evokes a visceral response as you hover above the trees looking out at the stunning views.
It has expansive views of Hood River, Mt Hood, and our favorite view, looking directly down the gorge.
Our guest house is accessed by a 30 foot long steel bridge.
Please see letters from our guest book below in the, "Why this property".
Our guest house is very private, but is located near our house, so there are some rules that it is very important that are followed.
Guests may only have one vehicle. Guests must park their vehicle on the left side of main house (east side). Maximum of two people at guest house unless owner makes an exception.
If you desire incredible views, modern architecture, and a very quiet location, I think you will really enjoy the experience.
You are welcome to ask about staying for less than our 3 day minimum. Often there is less than three days between guests already booked, so we can send you a special booking request if you email asking for these shorter stays between existing bookings. We are also more receptive to shorter visits mid week, and last minute requests.

We hope you enjoy your stay!

We had a lovely visit. White salmon is spectacular. The view of Mt. Hood from this residence is unbelievable. The guest house is nicely appointed with everything you need. The only thing I would add would be a fan that you could use in the evenings when the sun is setting because it does get warm.

Amazing view of the Gorge, and Mt. Hood.

We came up to enjoy the peace and quiet and escape the craziness of the holidays. The view is unforgettable day and night, cloudy or clear. We rented a couple of years ago and were really looking forward to being there again this weekend. It was just as incredible, and just what we needed!

Location was central to everything I wanted to do. Quick drive to White Salmon and Hood River. Tons of wine tasting, mountain biking and hiking in the area. The property itself had amazing views of the Columbia River Valley with floor to ceiling windows. Very private and very quiet. Modern amenities and decor provided a comfortable stay.

The property couldn't have been more beautiful. The hosts were also kind. Highly recommend for a little getaway!

We have never experienced such a gem of a spot. The views literally went on for miles. The place was modern and well appointed. It didn’t distract from the landscape and riverscape outside the floor to ceiling windows. I would have appreciated a hand rail on the many stairs to and from the studio. Other than that one thing, I would give it 5 stars.
8.0 / 10.0
The view is everything you think it would be. The house has the best of everything. Great amenities, fully stocked kitchen, clean and welcoming. Woke up each morning to deer in the yard. The place is perfect for two.

Beautiful views out of every window, well equipped kitchen and spotlessly clean. Excellent location for exploring the Columbia River Gorge. Tao was very helpful with figuring out the mini split for A/C, very necessary on some sunny, unseasonably hot days and offering restaurant suggestions. There are 36 steps and long walkways, most without a handrail, so pack in small duffle bags or totes-rollaboards have to be carried most of the way.

I can't say enough about this property!! The view is out of this world, especially at sunset! The guest house is comfortable, clean, well-equipped, and within easy access to all the Hood River area has to offer. If you are considering a visit to the Hood River area, this is the place to stay. You will not regret it!! I will be recommenting this place to family and friends.

The views are astonishing! Staying here made our trip over the top memorable! Waking up to sunrises and going to bed after sunsets of Mt Hood and the River Gorge will never be forgotten!

This house exceeded expectations, it's such a unique place to stay in the Hood River area. The views over the gorge are stunning, we spent hours relaxing in the chairs and watching the sunsets. It had all of the amenities that we needed in the kitchen and bathroom. Although it was very hot during our stay, the blinds helped to keep the house comfortable. It's a very private location, but the house is a short drive to restaurants in White Salmon. We hope to come back in the future.

Wonderful!
This is a fabulous VRBO! We thoroughly enjoyed an outing each day during our stay, however, the actual "staying" part of our stay in this wonderful rental was a highlight: The view! The wildlife! The clean, minimalistic style, and nice decor inside of the property! We will definitely be coming back.

MAJESTIC
The views at this property were magical. During our second night, Mt. Hood became visible, the sun glistered off the river, deer, naturally walked through the snow, we starred profoundly at everything that was in front of us.
I would like to thank Tao and his whole family for gifting my wife and I, along with so many others, such dreamy views from their property.
Charlie and Lori,

Recharge your batteries
It was really amazing to stay here. All you need is to just sit down and enjoy to view, even when there is a blizzard, it is still fun to see all that snow around you. Amazing experience. I totally recommend.

Beyond our expectations!
From the moment you drive up to the property, you just know it is going to be special. Tao was gracious enough to allow us to check in a little early so we could open a nice bottle of wine and enjoy the sunset (well, it was cloudy, but that doesn't change the facts). The house is equipped with everything you could need. We just felt like they really did think of every detail. The view - oh man, the view. We have travelled a lot, but we never forget how incredible the northwest is. The view of the gorge, the mountain, Hood River and the Columbia river from this property - I mean, I just isn't fair to other places :). We will definitely return to this house - we really didn't want to leave in the first place!

Amazing property; even better views
This property was even better than advertised. Super clean, very private, the views are even better than the pictures suggest. May be impossible to find a better VRBO in the gorge

Perfection
Wow! The this is themost amazing property we have ever stayed in. Tao and Jaime have thought of every detail, our stay was pure bliss.
This is the most thoughtfully designed house with the most beautiful view, quiet, private and absolutely perfect. It is hard to leave it to enjoy the surrounding outdoor beauty in the gorge.
We will definitely be back, hopefully soon!!
Thank you so much Tao and Jaime for such a wonderful stay in the most beautiful piece of paradise we could imagine.

AMAZING
Tao was the most gracious host. The property and view are absolutely amazing. I really thought it might not be as nice as the pictures online and it was better! The bed which online looks a bit minimalist was super comfortable. We enjoyed FEAST and Henni's Kitchen and Bar in White Salmon. Some places aren't open on Monday and Tuesday so unfortunately we missed White Salmon Bakery. I have sent this property to many friends and told them this is not to be missed. If you are thinking about booking....just do it. You will not be disappointed.

A dream location
The pictures do not do this place justice. It was simply amazing in every way. One thing that really stands out is the care of making sure you have everything you need. Well stocked kitchen, cleaning supplies, you name it. It has everything you need to make sure the trip is prefect. and it was.

Stunning Mountain Views
Everything about the property was amazing. The view was like nothing I have seen before and the town of White Salmon was so quaint. The house was very well-designed and efficient. We were already talking about how we can’t wait to return.

Stylish cantilevered house on Columbia River
The setting is magnificent - beautiful views from this cantilevered modern guest house. You must be fit enough to negotiate the many steps to get to the house and there is no dishwasher, but the location above the river looking directly at Mt Hood makes up for these factors.

5 Stars on all aspects- stunning views, superb guest house

A room with an epic view
It's a little bit of an awkward trek down the stairs to reach the home, but once you're there you immediately are greeted with one of the best views of the gorge you'll ever have while not stepping outside.
The space is clean, well appointed, have I mentioned the view yet?
We had planned to do a *LOT* of sightseeing while in the area, but ultimately ended up spending two full days just sitting there watching the clouds roll by. Mount Hood? It's there, view down the gorge? Check. Epic sunsets? It's got it. You want wildlife? We counted no less than 8 deer, and a rafter (yes this is the correct term for a gathering) of wild turkeys grazing in the yard... All at the same time.
The only things about the stay I wish were different is that there was a comfy loveseat in front of the window with which to snuggle up next to my wife and that the water heater temp was turned up enough that two people could take a comfy relaxing shower back-to-back.
Otherwise, this is the best VRBO experience I've had to date and we will definitely be back.
