Hazel House - Gorgeous, Views, Perfect Hood River Getaway!

The house was great, clean and as described in the listing. Kitchen was reasonably well appointed. Easy walk down to downtown Hood River. Unfortunately we had two bats in the home on the first night of our stay. One was in a bedroom, which resulted in those people having to sleep in the living room because we couldn’t get the bat to leave through a window. Then another bat appeared in the living room and smacked one of our group in the face. The management company was not particularly helpful in dealing with this situation. So bottom line, it was a great house except for the bats and lack of help from the management company.

The house was great for our group of 7 women celebrating a friends 40th. Loved the location with trail access at the base of the driveway. The driveway is one of the steepest I’ve encountered, but wasn’t a problem for us. The view from the living room was awesome. Kitchen was stocked to meet our needs. It would have been nice to have an additional sleeping area on the top floor but we didn’t even end up using that area or the rooftop deck. The only suggestion would be blackout shades in the bedroom is always a nice option.

Beautiful home. Excellent location. Our family had a wonderful stay at your home.

Spectacular views, I would recommend driving a small vehicle, driveway is crazy, home is beautiful, could use coat hooks, towel hooks in bathrooms, followed instructions for fireplace but it wouldn’t light, some end/coffee tables would be nice to place a beverage on, kitchen was nicely equipped. We really enjoyed the walking path right at bottom of driveway. Home is in a great location for visiting the downtown.

Enjoyed our stay everyone had there own bedroomand bathroom.

We booked our trip well in advance to stay at a different home. It snowed the day before and we were contacted by arrive and told that we could choose between two other homes because the one we had booked wouldn't be available with the snow in the drive apparently. The home we chose was a big modern home with lots of amenities and family friendly. The homes we were given the option of were small, outdated with less amenities and listed for cheaper then the home I booked. I then asked the person at arrive if we would be getting a discount then and she hesitantly said she would look into because I had just gotten a really good deal on the nicer home I booked. She called back and offered me a modern loft with many of the amenities the other home we booked had at the same price. We already had this trip planned with activities so I agreed. When we got there we found the home to be clean and beautiful but far from family friendly. It had four flights of stairs with terrifying railings for my toddler. There were only 3 locks that worked on the 5 exterior door home. There were passive aggressive notes on a few things that made it very unwelcoming my biggest issue is the thermostat was set at 50 degrees the note said it could only be turned up 2 degrees an hour or we would be charged the cost of repair if the unit froze and it reset everyday at a certain time so the house was always cold. My husband did of course misplace the key in the home and we were charged $129 for that which fine that was our fault however that seems a bit high for a single key when alot of the locks didn't work to begin with. More than half the snow was melted when we got there I think we should have been rented our original home or discounted more for the inconvenience. Overall not a fan of the company arrive the home is beautiful and clean for the right group not a good fit for a family trip with littles.

Great condo close to downtown Hood. Views from the balconies are fantastic. Driveway is super steep but manageable. Would definitely stay here again on a return trip to Hood.

Wonderful views. Comfortable furnishings. Nice open layout for the living and kitchen, making for a great place for my family to reunite and swap stories. Two thumbs up!

The one and only thing is we couldn’t figure out the fire place the second night and didn’t hear back until the next day and was too late to use it! Other than that we had a great time! Beautiful view, great outdoor areas to hang out, hot tub was great!

The house was fabulous. Gorgeous views. Very clean and well stocked. The driveway will prevent us from ever returning. Backing down was awful.

The house was perfect for 3 couples doing a getaway weekend. Beds were comfy and we were able to easily walk every where!

We overlooked a local trail and could see the peak of Mount Hood in the distance on one side and then could watch activity on the beautuful Columbia River from the other. Many levels of outdoor space plus a beautiful yard. A well laid out indoor space with all the necessities and some well-placed extras included. All in all, lots of good spaces and we enjoyed every one. Convenient to Downtown Hood River as well as that beautiful hiking trail.

This house was perfect for an old group of friends to get together, cook meals, and enjoy the PNW watching bald eagles fly by each day. While it is up a hill with a challenging driveway, it is close enough to town to easily get to the water or restaurants in minutes. Hiking trail right outside the house brings more foot traffic but is nice to enjoy.

I’d stay in this house again for sure. Lovely yard area with hot tub and look out point. Great walking trail adjacent to house & close proximity to all the fun neighborhood shops in Hood River. Comfortable beds too!

Very clean, great hot tub and beautiful views.

Enjoyed our stay and would stay their again.

Spent a wonderful weekend in Hazel House. The views in the home were amazing and the location at edge of Hood River was convenient. The house was well appointed and after a day of skiing, the home had great set up for cooking and enjoying a meal. Will definitely stay here again.

House was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware, plates, etc. There were a few things that needed repair (one of the twin beds box springs had a depression that came through on the bed, for example). Also - the kitchen has been remodeled since the pictures and now has more storage space. Also - the hot tub is in the yard, not on the roof. We had some snow, so the driveway was slick but passable with our AWD car...anything else and parking at the foot of the driveway would have been required.

Felt like home immediately. Whole family enjoyed the space. We would all like to stay here again.

Home was beautiful and very clean. Great location. We definitely want to go back.

What an incredible house! We had the best time. The views, open layout, fireplace, hot tub, decks - just perfect! Will be back.

We all loved this property! The check-in process was very smooth, and the house itself is absolutely beautiful. The view of the mountains from the living room is stunning and the roof was perfect for hanging out and watching the sun set behind the trees. We had plenty of space for our crew of 7 people and two pups. We would absolutely stay here again.

Nice space for 5 adults. Peaceful newly installed grassy level side yard. Kitchen well appointed. Dining table great for group eating. Comfortable attractive living. Only disappointments were the house and decks don't face river , and outside and night noise constant from I-84 and Hwy 35 which runs diagonal up steep hill near house and has lots of big truck noise day and night. Also would not book this house in months where ice a possibility because of extremely steep driveway that would be unsafe to walk up even if parked below. There is a nice walking trail into town that starts at end of driveway. We had a good stay.

We stayed over Labor Day weekend and loved the location. We walked into town each day and a great trail right at the base of the driveway.

The house was lovely, nice location with beautiful views. A great spot for a 50th birthday celebration with 6 girlfriends. So many nice things about the place, but a glaring oversight it that there was no way to play music in the house! There is no sound system, stereo...we would have been happy with a small portable speaker. We reached out to management twice asking about a speaker, but there was no resolution. This is something that should be mentioned in details of the house. Also, given that we lost an hour due to daylight savings the morning of our check-out, we requested a one-hour extension. They said that it would not be possible, so we rushed to get out by 11:00 (which really felt like 10:00). Also, would have been nice if rooftop hot tub was in working condition. Would have been nice to soak up there given the sunny weather we had.

we love the house and location. very clean and well stocked kitchen. the beds were great, and the views just beautiful. we enjoyed the bbq and a nice dinner with the large table. the fireplace was extra cozy, we will be back!

The house is great as is proximity to downtown. The driveway is very steep with a hairpin turn. I have a large vehicle and it was very challenging. If it had been snowy i could not have done it. Also, the view is not towards town and the river but the other way. It is a great view and you feel like yo are floating in the clouds.

Just like the photos showed, the best thing about this house is the sunlight and views. We cooked a lot of meals over the long weekend and the kitchen had everything we needed. The bedrooms were comfy and we would definitely rent this house again. Thank you for a delightful mini vacation!

My spouse and I were looking for someplace with a view.... and THIS is it! Yes, if you can’t do stairs, this isn’t the place for you, but we had no problems. In fact, we might be in better shape, having stayed here! Plenty of room, plenty of amazing outdoor deck space. We absolutely recommend this lovely home and would stay here again!!!

The house has a great location with spectacular views. The kitchen is fantastic for family meals. Hot tub is perfect after a long day of playing. Thank you.

The views of this property were breathtaking. The caution regarding the steep driveway is very true! Quite difficult to negotiate. I don’t think this house is a good choice for families with very young children or the elderly. My husband has Parkinson’s and we were all very nervous about the multiple levels and stairs.

The Hazel House, perched precariously above the Hood River, with 3 floors of window views is a uniquely cool property. I grew up on that hillside on east May St., so was excite to return to my roots and the old sights and smells of the Indian Cr. trail. The very steep driveway didn't bother me because that's life on the riverbank (and it was summertime...ice storms are more interesting). It's a prime Hood River location and reasonably priced. I would recommend it. However, the Hazel House has been obviously loved for a few years and the casual upkeep is apparent. Windsurfer and snowboarder renters take a toll, I'm sure. The reasonable nightly rate is about right for its current condition but I would pay more for a few improvements. Here's a short list of easily fixable things that might help future reviews: Teflon pans are scratched enough to be dangerous to eat food cooked in them Every kitchen knife is dull Pingpong table is broken and unusable Leaking roof (after thunder storm) onto the master bed No foosballs for the foosball table Roof top table and chairs won't hold people or cocktails Dead bugs in the dining room light (and hiding elsewhere) Ice machine was turned off when we arrived and so no ice to start Garbage was piled next to garage door No recycling pickup
