It's eye candy: 180 degree Columbia River Views, the locks, twinkly city lights, sunsets, barges, rainbows!
Step through huge sliding glass doors to the deck to a glass fire pit, gas grill and comfy couches.
Play in the game room: a carefully crafted carpeted garage space with pool, ping pong, darts, foosball. A/C and heat here, too! And, some say the hot tub has "an infinity feel" with its fantastic river view.
This bright, fully equipped and pet friendly space is nestled high on the quiet east side of town. Yet only 5 minutes to town, 25 to Hood River and you're at the mountain in little over an hour.
Did we mention The Dalles gets over 300 days of sunshine a year?

About the host

Hosted by Elaine Thompson

Host profile image
I'm a Northwest girl born and bred!
I work in a winery, bake sourdough bread, and say I feel naked without a good book. My husband turns wood, plays bass and sells real estate.
We love to waterski on the Columbia and snow ski on Mt. Hood. Our daughter is in NYC, and his kids/grandkids are all nearby.
We traded our Oregon coast home for this getaway in The Dalles to be closer to our family/friends in Hood River. We love staying at our panoramic "ViewPad", and exploring all the gorge offers.

Why they chose this property

This quiet east side of The Dalles has views to die for! We absolutely love watching the river traffic coming through the locks. The neighbors are super friendly, but very quiet. The street funnels down to a sweet one lane road a block east of us, and you can take all sorts of lovely country walks among the orchards and rural homes.
The hot tub is a real respite from the world - tucked under the deck and with the cover open, it feels like a private experience. You can keep your eyes on the river or the sky.
And there are so many sunny days in The Dalles - over 300 a year!

What makes this property unique

The minute we walked in this house, we were sold on the view. It's wonderful to be just a short drive away from our home in Hood River and feel like we are in a whole new area. The hills and sky are spectacular from this ridge top paradise.
We love exploring the historic buildings and murals in The Dalles, walking the streets and taking advantage of the free downtown parking! The home features a wonderful piece of artwork titled, "All Around The Dalles".

There are wineries, hikes and fun brewpubs to explore in this part of the Gorge.
And when we come back to The ViewPad, the couch is crazy comfy. We love hosting friends in the convivial atmosphere of the great room. We immediately added swivel bar stools - and my husband crafted a live edge dining table with seating for eight.
