Two- or Three-Night Stay for Up to Four with Wine-Tasting Tour for Two at Columbia Cliff Villas in Oregon
Romantic Hotel Perched on Bluff Above Columbia River Gorge The 90-mile Columbia Gorge has a hypnotic beauty, its landscape speckled with crashing waterfalls and towering bluffs. A romantic boutique hotel residing 200 feet above this river, the Columbia Cliff Villas present a prime view of this scenery. The Carriage House villas outfit 600 square feet of handsome living space with colonial and contemporary furnishings. A gray stone backsplash colors the space in between stainless-steel appliances and the cedar-wood cabinets in the corner kitchen. Stationed on the second floor, the villa’s private balcony frames partial views of the frothy Columbia River. Just past swinging glass doors, there’s a flickering gas fireplace in the living room. Hood River: Riverside Town with Majestic Mountain Views Sitting at the crossroads of the Columbia River Gorge and the Cascade Mountain range, Hood River’s unique geological makeup and diversity of microclimates have made it hospitable to vineyard grapes. The town rests at the heart of the Columbia Gorge Wine Valley, a 40-mile stretch that shares its longitudes with some of the most prolific wine regions in Europe. Downtown boasts a number of restored Victorian and craftsman homes, and features more than 40 buildings that date back to 1893. The 2,150-acre Mount Hood Meadows Ski Resort offers elevations as high as 7,300 feet and slopes for beginners and experienced skiers alike. Hotel guests receive discounted open-to-close lift tickets to the resort. During a tour of the interstate valley, guests will sample award-winning wines from vineyards such as Cathedral Ridge , a charming estate that produces velvety red blends, and Maryhill Winery whose cabernets and sauvignon blancs earned it the title of Washington Winery of the Year in 2009.

Two- or Three-Night Stay for Up to Four in a Large-View Room at Vagabond Lodge in Oregon
Riverside Hotel with Acres of Botanical Wonders The Columbia River barrels past cliffs bordering Oregonian woodlands, where ponderosa pines rise 110 feet into the air to confer with soaring eagles. Set amid this idyllic landscape, Vagabond Lodge overlooks the river from a 5-acre spot bedecked with natural-rock outcroppings and native wildflowers. Even the hotel’s water draws from the natural landscape—fresh, mountain-spring water flows through the taps and bubbles in the jacuzzi tubs. Formerly an 8-room inn built in 1954, the lodge is now comprised of five buildings housing 42 rooms with views of the gorge and the surrounding oak and evergreen forests. Wooden furnishings and décor—including exposed-beam ceilings—enhance the room’s rustic, riverside feel. Outdoors, picnic tables dot the grassy courtyard and stand among the gardens and native trees. Children take to the playground, zooming down the slide and swaying on the swing set, and parents flame cook meals and ward off feral snowmen using barbecue grills loaned out by the front-desk staff. Hood River, Oregon: Historical River Town Close to Skiable Mountains Hood River rests in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, set against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks. In the downtown district, restored Victorian and craftsman houses reflect the area’s pioneer history; more than 40 civic and commercial buildings date back to as early as 1893. With strong winds for kite surfing and more than 2,000 skiable acres at nearby Mt. Hood National Forest, the otherwise sleepy town also draws in droves of outdoor-sports enthusiasts. The Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort spreads across the southeast flank of the mountains, where the winds are milder and the terrain ranges from gladed tree runs and cliffs to gentle slopes for beginners. Guests at Vagabond Lodge receive a discount on open-to-close lift tickets, taking the Cascade Express up 7,300 feet for panoramic views without the hassle of chartering their own zeppelins or luckdragons. Laid-back travelers can explore a number of wineries and vineyards scattered throughout the Hood River Valley. On guided tours, visitors meet with local winemakers, taste samples, and learn about the region’s unique grape-growing properties. Groupon Says Read more…

One- or Two-Night Stay for Two in a Superior River-View Room at Skamania Lodge in Washington
Luxurious Mountain Lodge on Columbia River The word skamania means swift water in the Chinook language. Inasmuch as Skamania Lodge is situated on the Columbia River near more than 70 natural waterfalls, the resort is aptly named. Surrounded by 175 thickly wooded acres in the Columbia River Gorge, the sprawling mountain retreat’s sloping roof and timber-centric architecture blend artfully into the landscape, and its stately interior calls to mind the majestic mountain lodges popular with turn-of-the-20th-century travelers. Upstairs in a superior river-view room, windows overlook a prototypical Cascade Mountain landscape abounding with verdant evergreen trees. In the room anchored by a pillow-top king bed or two double beds, each crowned with a leather headboard, a warm color palette and original artwork by artists hailing from the Pacific Northwest decorate the space. Fluffy terry-cloth robes, a flat-screen TV, and in-room WiFi round out a full complement of creature comforts. Back downstairs, the Cascade Dining Room serves an eclectic selection of gourmet cuisine, such as smoked pork loin and Washington beef, in front of sweeping views of the mountains. River Rock restaurant prepares less formal fare for diners to enjoy in the radiating warmth of an enormous rock fireplace. The lodge’s outdoor offerings include a beautifully landscaped 18-hole golf course and several private trails, which can be traversed on mountain bikes borrowed from Skamania’s fitness center. An indoor swimming pool and outdoor tennis courts also stand ready for games of amphibious mixed doubles. Columbia River Gorge: Natural Splendor near Historical Attractions The most famous of the dozens of natural waterfalls dotting the Columbia River Gorge is Multnomah Falls, an awe-inspiring, 611-foot cascade reachable by a hike that culminates in a bridge offering close-up views of the roaring water. A popular nearby winery offers tastings, and a renovated saloon, originally constructed in 1876, dishes up innovative Pacific Northwest dishes. Tours of an iconic wool mill acquaint visitors with traditional weaving techniques and the metallic sheep from which steel wool derives. Groupon Says Read more…
