Pros - The house is well stocked, comfortable, and conveniently located to the quaint downtown. The bakery was a particular hit with kids and seniors in our party. It's 5 mins to the bridge, so getting to Hood River or Mt Hood is quick and easy. Cons - The home was not properly cleaned between us and the previous guests, and customer service from the host was disappointing. 2 Weeks before our arrival date, I made a request to amend our stay dates but got no response for 3 days. I needed Vrbo customer support to reach out and get the host to respond. But by the time the host did, the free change/cancellation window expired and the host had to manually process the adjusted rate after some back-and-forth. We had to further delay our arrival by a day because the National Weather Service recommended not driving on I-84 due to ice warnings. The host dismissed our request for a refund for the night we were not there. They cited the booking policy, which we were well aware of, but even a partial refund would've been appreciated. While unpacking clothes I found a weekly pill/medication box in the bureau in the kid's room filled with unknown tablets and gummy-looking items, which we assume was from the last guests. We're quite relieved our 6y.o. didn't find them first. I raised this with the host, and when they eventually got back to me it was only to say that they were surprised their cleaner overlooked it without acknowledging what a life-threatening error it was. As none was offered, I requested a conciliatory gesture and the host offered to refund 50% of the cleaning fee. While doing a final room check on our way out, we found someone else's bra on the top shelf of the walk-in closet. I'm 6ft 4in so it's not surprising someone shorter wouldn't see it, but when you pay an arm and a leg for cleaning, you expect more thoroughness. In following up about the refund a week after we left, the host asked for proof of the medication box. I didn't have any because we left the box in the house. It's been 2 weeks since our trip and still no refund or response to messages, so it appears they've reneged on the refund offer.

The house was extremely clean and well stocked. The rooms are larger than they appear in the pictures. The location was very close to downtown and we walked to dinner and coffee everyday. The owner was very easy to get ahold of. I cannot say enough good things and would highly recommend this home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in White Salmon as we explored the Columbia Gorge region. The house and location were perfect for going back and forth from WA to OR sides of the Columbia River. Host was very responsive if we had a question. Highly recommend pizza night (Monday nights only) at the White Salmon Bakery.
