Keys to the Gorge | Sauna | Hot Tub | Sleeps 12

Welcome to Keys to the Gorge, by Skooped Up Stays!

This modern cabin-style retreat is nestled near the Columbia River and offers tranquility, a private hot tub and sauna, and serene views. The spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home accommodates up to 12 guests, making it perfect for families, groups of friends, corporate retreats, and guests of nearby weddings.

We are here for you during your stay! With that said, we maintain office hours, and are typically not available between 9pm and 7am for things that are not emergencies. We will get back to you as soon as possible if you reach out during those hours.

If there is an emergency, please call 9-1-1 immediately!

We are rather remote, but we do have quite a few neighbors nearby! Some you can see from our patio (and they can see you!), others are a bit farther away. You'll feel privacy, but a sense of remoteness at the same time. Please be respectful of our neighbors. This is a residential area and most neighbors live in their homes full-time.

As a guest of Keys to the Gorge, enjoy private access to the entire home and yard. The garage is not accessible by guests at this time.

Our driveway accommodates 3-6 vehicles.

Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Stevenson, 25 minutes from White Salmon/Hood River, and within one hour of wineries, Mt. Hood, Portland and Vancouver.

Keys to the Gorge sits on 1.3 acres, offering beautifully landscaped lawns, spacious deck, and fully covered side patio with grill and outdoor fireplace. The surroundings provide a tranquil setting, and the remote location ensures a quiet escape.

Although we welcome as many as 12 guests, we have strict rules against parties or rowdy events. We ask that all of our guests review and agree to our House Rules, and treat our home with the utmost respect. If you have questions about whether your group is a good fit for our space, please reach out!

Before arrival, guests will be asked to complete guest verification through 3rd party provider, Truvi.

The perfect gorge getaway!

The house is perfect for unplugging from the busy world and immersing yourself in nature. The indoor and outdoor fireplaces create a very unique environment, conducive to relaxation and socialization. We can't wait to book this property again!

Lovely property!

The house was beautiful and could sleep 12. There are only two bathrooms so maybe something to keep in mind if your group is that large. The common areas were perfect for hanging out, cooking, hanging out by the fire and playing games. Would definitely stay again!

Weekend with friends

Beautiful & clean home that was great for a long weekend with friends. The jacuzzi worked well, but the sauna controls were in an awkward location & a little tricky to operate. The kitchen has quality appliances, dishes, pots & pans, and utensils. Bring your own foil & storage containers.

Beautiful house and location

The house and location was perfect for our family get-together. It really is as beautiful as the pictures show. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed. It was large enough for our party of 7 adults with room for everyone. The lawn was perfect for the yard games that we brought. And we were a short drive to the restaurants in Stevenson and White Salmon. We also enjoyed an easy trip to the Fruit Loop in Hood River. We found several very close locations to put in our kayaks as well. Sarah, the owner was really communicative and made her self available. We really enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend it.
