Lifelong friends needed a local place to gather this year due to family commitments and I was pleasantly surprised to find this newer listing on VRBO! I had a couple of questions during our stay and Tracy always responded right away. It was a lovely home with a large, well-stocked kitchen including double-ovens which we did end up using a couple of times over our three-day stay. The deck has a great view of the Columbia River and The Dalles Dam; however, we could not enjoy sitting outside because of the noise from the freeway and also the wind (which we knew could be a possibility since we're all from the area). No worries, though, as the wall of windows in the living room and pool room worked just as well to enjoy the scenery (windows could use a wash, though). Speaking of the downstairs pool room - we also made use of the pool table while listening to oldies through the t.v. We did not use the hot tub so I cannot comment on that. All in all, a great stay and I would book this one again but a few smaller items need to be addressed: a few of the remotes need new batteries (upstairs fan, windspeed indicator on kitchen window sill, downstairs fireplace), the air intake grate could use a cleaning, the blinds were not the easiest to get up and down, the shower curtain in the hall bath upstairs kept coming off of the hooks and the master bath shower curtain was too short allowing water to escape onto the tile floor. All easy to remedy and again, we all enjoyed our stay!
