Skamania Lodge

My husband and I celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary by renting e-bikes and cycling in the Gorge then spent the night at Skamania Lodge which was SO relaxing. Nice room with comfy bedding and blackout shades. bathroom supplies like shampoo, body wash, moisturizer too of the line and scented with PNW scents like lavender and pine. Everything in the hotel is reflective of PNW colors, scents, arts, decor, food etc. We had steelhead chowder, forest mushroom risotto, garlic shrimp pasta and a huckleberry mule drink for dinner. Breakfast was a divine steelhead omelet. We relaxed after our bike ride the first day in the indoor pool and the landscaped outdoor hot tub before dinner. The next day, even after we checked out, the hotel let us stay the whole day in hot tub and pool just hanging out by the hot tub reading in comfortable chairs and enjoying the view. so it was a true two day one night vacation. Now we are planning to come and relax fall, winter and spring as Skamania is only 75 minutes from our home in Lake Oswego. Although we didn’t bring our grandkids, there were lots of great activities for kids and teens like a high aerial challenge, zip lines, pickleball, corn hole , croquet etc. Very nice fire pits and live music on the back patio at happy hour. Premier place to stay in the Gorge. And the rate was so crazy low by booking through Trip Advisor. Second best rate is to call hotel directly. Special 35% off rates after Labor Day.

Wonderful environment/location. Lots to see and do. Accommodation comfortable with reasonable amenities. A good place to relax.

Highly recommend a stay in a treehouse 30 feet above the tree lined canopy floor for a breathtaking, cozy experience! We loved the experience so much we can’t wait to return.

Everything else was amazing , rooms , facilities and activities were top notch. Food & service in the cascade room were not good. On Sunday evening we had dinner there and the service was just terrible , the server told us she has 2 -3 other couples to attend all the time .

The good first: Location is stunning. The Less good : Food is below average at premium price The Lesser good : Staff is def not friendly ( at best just artificially polite) The Really bad : Having a noisy train tooting every hour night and day made the night in the glamping horrible !! The even worst : I boocked a spa massage, the lady that came looking for me was waiting for a female client, was def surprised I was a male. Seemed really uncomfortable with that and it translated in a poor expedited massage basically just on shoulders and feet clearly to stay away from a standard body massage. I still paid premium price for that
