Top Rufus Hotel Reviews

Three Rivers Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We were very pleased with our newly renovated room. It was well done, comfortable and quiet. In spite of the hotel being located near truck stops, we heard no truck noise and slept well. There were no restaurants other than fast food in the area but since we were traveling into nearby towns for a wedding that was not a problem for us."

Modern 2-bedroom 100% off-grid cabin in delightful Goldendale with AC.

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible stay! You will likely need 4WD or AWD to get up to the cabin -- the road is no joke! But the views are incredible and the cabin is cozy and wonderful. Highly recommend as long as you can get there!"

New townhouse, Class 2 EV charger, private back patio, muscle car garage

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely new townhome centrally located to all the activities in the area! The place is so neat and accommodating, and the hosts thought of everything we might need! I would recommend this place to anyone traveling in this area."

B&B Ranch is a cozy cabin, mountain views, perfect for rest, fun. 9-11 guest

10/10 Excellent

"A nice, quiet get away with a clear view of Mt Hood out the kitchen window. We made the necessary reservation and visited the Goldendale Observatory 25 minutes away for a top notch astronomy presentation and then the evening sky viewing. Sometime we'll make reservations for the sun observations during the day. The last time we stayed here there were flocks of wild turkeys; this time we saw several deer including a nice buck in the velvet. It wasn't just the people, our dog really enjoyed the place!"

10/10 Excellent

"An absolute gem! Even better than the photos.We had an unforgettable week at this incredible home in Goldendale! Like many other guests have mentioned, the photos truly don’t do it justice. From the moment we arrived, we were positively surprised—you can feel the love and care put into every single detail. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything we could possibly need, including a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and wonderful living spaces.If you have kids, this place is total paradise. Our children were entertained all week long. They absolutely loved the custom-built sheriff’s playhouse (complete with dress-up clothes), the giant handmade wooden Yahtzee game, the playground, and the fun 3-hole putting green to practice golf. And, of course, the pool was fantastic!The natural surroundings are breathtaking. Every morning and evening, we were treated to deer strolling peacefully through the yard and wild turkeys wandering by. The views of Mt. Hood are stunning, and the night sky is unreal—which you can even watch while soaking in the hot tub.We would love to come back in a heartbeat and can’t recommend this home highly enough to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"

"This property is nice and clean with all the essentials. We appreciate the pet friendly aspect as we travel with our dog. We have been there now for two years in a row to attend my family reunion nearby and it has suited our needs perfectly. It is a nice quiet place to rest. Thank you."
