We are active travelers and debated on where to stay in order to explore as much of the area as possible in 4 days - Skamania did not dissapoint. We were able to do a fair amount of hiking, see Mt Hood, Mt St Helens,did some mountain biking out of Hood River and enjoyed the town of Stevenson (decent food... more

That's what you pay for and that's what you get. Great location! Food was good. You pay a fine dining price and the presentation is that of fine dining, but the quality if not fine dining....but it was good. Just not consistent with the price. However we got a great golf deal. The golf deal was the opposite of their... more

It's not the fanciest place I've ever stayed, but it didn't need to be. The staff was always pleasant and accommodating. Location was perfect. Not too close to Portland or Hood River, but within driving distance. Definitely would go back! Home away from home... Thibodaux, LA more

We debated where we should stay in columbia gorge for weeks. Thought about Timberline, but decided that that would be too isolated and stayed at Skamania. It is a great location - can get to Mt. Hood, Hood River, attractions along gorge really easily. Town of Stevenson was nice. Rooms were nice - definately stay on the river side of... more

We used to live in Portland in the late 90s and frequented Skamania Lodge. We even got married there in 1999. The lodge was a very special place to us. Had not been back since moving to CA in 2000.

Don't pay the money for the concert, grab a drink and listen to the music on the patio. The view is amazing. We ate at the seafood buffet. The... more

We have lived in Oregon for 30 years and had never stayed at Skamania; a friend introduced me to the lodge in July 09. My husband and I were looking for a venue close to Portland but with opportunities for hiking, swimming, good food and biking. Skamania provided all those opportunities and more. We arrived on Sunday which offers a... more

I am compelled to write about this place since our stay there a few years ago ranks as one of the worse nights in a hotel in my life. We got a room by the elevator, and it was incredibly noisy all night long. When we called and asked to be moved, the only option the front desk offered was... more

This lodge and conference center have a magnificent view of the Columbia River. Even though I booked the hotel through a discount site the staff treated us very well at checkin. The concierge was very helpful about events in the area. Bell service quickly got us to our room and informed us about the hotel. We had dinner in the... more
