Don't be fooled by this home's proximity to I-5--it's a really nice, comfortable home with many thoughtful touches for guests, in a quiet neighborhood walking distance to restaurants, parks, and very easy access to anywhere in town. We went all over and yet it seemed we were never more than 15 minutes from anywhere in town. We made use of the coffee and coffee maker, the 1/2&1/2 in the fridge, the Roku TV, and the big table for several rounds of dominoes. We spent a day hiking and exploring the Hood River--highly recommended--which was an easy 1hr 15 min drive up the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. Also recommend McMenamin's Chapel pub up Killingsworth--you'll feel like you've walked on the set of The Hobbit. Great food, many beer and cocktail selections, and wondrous environment. Best of all was having our dog with us. John was a really great host, very quick with communication and so helpful--and graciously gave us our space too. Note: if you're a Trekkie or a Star Wars geek, you'll love all of the memorabilia he has in this place. Highly recommended.
