They range from tiny homes, rustic riverside cabins, and modern mansions. Please note that the Columbia River Gorge is a popular place in the summer and reservations go quickly.

Hotel

The Lyle Hotel

We love this quirky hotel just east of White Salmon by about 14 miles. We stayed here in July 2021 and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The Hotel is European style with 10 private guest rooms upstairs with private restrooms and bath's across the hall. It is not for everyone given the lack of a bathroom inside the room iteslf.
