    I found this place on Airbnb - I was working in Portland for a couple of days and wanted to take a…read moreday off while I was down here, get out of the city, and do some hiking and generally chill out. I LOVED this studio...I was able to walk to everything ( for such a tiny town there is GREAT food and drink to be had within just a few blocks.). I really appreciated how well thought out every detail was...from the super easy to use smart TV (I am not remote-savvy), to the thoughtful extras like an espresso machine, a nutri-bullet (I'm a smoothie addict), an excellent selection of books for both general reading and exploring the area (no matter what your activity of choice is). The internet was great, as I did still have to get some work done, and everything was clean clean clean! I seriously wanted to just move in. I took a hike (the Labyrinth / Coyote Wall hike - about 7.5 mile loop that I found in one of the books in the studio), and it was absolutely gorgeous - there are an insane amount of hikes in this area that are all close by....not to mention all the water sports if you're into that. Hop over the bridge and you can do some shopping in Hood River. I really loved coming back to White Salmon at the end of the day though - I preferred to eat and drink here (an excellent cold beer at "Everybody's Brewing"....definitely go there) and walk back to the studio. My stay was SO relaxing, and I needed for nothing while I was here. The host was super nice and responded quickly to any questions I had. I highly recommend this little gem, and I'm definitely coming back!

    I recently had a wonderful stay at the Collins Lake Resort with a few friends this winter. The…read moreplace we stayed was large and still had a wonderfully cozy cabin-like feel. Our place had a large master bedroom with an adjoining bathroom, as well as two more bedrooms and a second bathroom. The place also included a spacious kitchen, dining room and living room, as well as a BBQ on the deck. There's also free Wi-Fi and a large TV that we used to watch both cable and movies. The Collins Lake Resort is also in an ideal location. It is just a short drive to Skibowl where we enjoyed great skiing as well as an awesome experience at night with their cosmic tubing. It is also just a short walk across the street to Government Camp. We had an amazing stay, and I strongly recommend Collins Lake Resort to anyone looking for a great time at the mountains.

    Our group of four stayed in Chalet 13 from June 24-27 while attending a wedding at Mt. Hood. The…read morefirst part of our stay was great. We loved the beautiful grounds, and the chalet was comfortable and exactly what we were hoping for. Unfortunately, around 1:00 a.m. on the second to last night of our stay, we returned from the wedding festivities to find that the entire chalet smelled overwhelmingly of sewage. The odor was present throughout all three floors and became stronger with each level. It was so intense that several of us were gagging and even became physically sick. We attempted to book a room at the nearest hotel but they were fully booked, leaving us with no choice but to stay. We opened every window in the chalet and had to leave them open for the remainder of our stay because the smell was otherwise unbearable. We made every effort to report the issue while it was happening. That night, we called the resort's emergency after hours hotline but never received a return call or any follow up. Upon checking out on the final day, I reported the situation again to the staff member at the front desk. He was incredibly kind, apologetic, and assured me the situation was unacceptable. He explained that the manager, Dan, would contact me and that a partial refund would likely be appropriate given the circumstances. After several days passed without any communication, I reached out to the resort myself. I was told that maintenance had inspected the chalet, along with neighboring units, and could not detect any unusual odor. While I appreciate that they took the concern seriously enough to inspect the property, this was very surprising given that all four of us experienced the smell, and it was severe enough that we were becoming physically ill. I was again told that Dan would contact me, but as of writing this review, I still have not received any phone call or email. It's disappointing because, aside from this issue, our stay would have easily earned five stars. I understand that unexpected maintenance problems can happen and I don't fault the resort for an issue that may have been outside their immediate control. What disappointed me most was the lack of follow through after we were assured someone would reach out. Good customer service isn't just responding in the moment--it's also following through on the commitments made afterward. I genuinely hope the source of the odor has been identified and resolved, as it's a beautiful property and I'd love to recommend it. However, I also hope future guests experiencing an issue like this receive the communication and resolution that we unfortunately never did.
