Comfortable stay

We stayed with two families and two dogs. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for making meals, beds were comfortable for sleeping in and the living had adequate space for us to hang out in. The deck area is great for hanging out in as well. The pool does require a $3 per person fee, but it was a fun activity for a day. We also went down to the beach area along the river near the golf course. Would definitely rent this space again.

DMB or Bust

Our family stayed in Desert Aire over the Labor Day Weekend. We had tickets for DMB at The Gorge and this VRBO provided our group a comfortable place to stay. All amenities were available, including a fully stocked kitchen, and an outdoor grill that made meal prep easier. It was a 30-40 minute drive to the concert venue. We had eight people and everyone had a bed. This was a place we’d stay again.

Comfy home on the golf course with a lovely view

We had a wonderful stay in this home in a lovely community on the Columbia River. The owner was so helpful and accommodating and we had a sweet neighbor named Sue to help us out during our stay. This is a great location for fishing, golf, and attending concerts at The Gorge Amphitheater. The house is spacious and the couch was so comfy and large we all fit to watch tv and chat. The kitchen is well equipped and had the holy grail, sharp knives! The owner also provided nespresso and kuerig pods for our stay and it was really appreciated! Highly recommend!

Music, win be, and dessert air

We booked at Desert Aire as we were going to the Gorge for a concert. Location was perfect for our needs as we did not require access to restaurants or bars. The house was clean, had all the necessary things needed for someone who loves to cook while on vacation. Most importantly, there was a lovely hot tub! The star gazing was incredible while in the hot tub!! We would come back to this property. Oh, if you enjoy golf, this is a great place to stay. Dave, the Host, is extremely responsive and easy to work with.

Super Spot

It doesn’t get any better than David’s place; 35 feet to the course, 10 minute drive to catch salmon. Really, golf and fishing is the perfect crime. Best thing? The host, David. Outstanding communication and help to make sure everything is the best for you.

Great Stay on the River!

We stayed with two families of four, with children ranging from 8 to 16 years old. The house and amenities were great! The house sits on the 13th fairway of the golf course (which was very well maintained). It is easy to get out and go for a walk along the golf course path. The community pool was very nice. It was not at all crowded and was good size with a kids splash pool. The only downsides on the pool was it is a little out of walking distance, there was a small charge to enter and no food our alcohol was allowed withing the immediate pool area. It was nice though and a fun activity with the kids. We brough a boat with us and got out on the river two days. The launch facility was nice with plenty of trailer parking. It is a great spot for tubing, surfing, wakeboarding etc. As with anywhere, you have to time the wind right, but we definitely got some opportunities at very nice smooth water. The house itself was clean and had everything we needed for a long weekend get away. The detached bunk room is great for the kids. Overall, I would recommend!
