Relaxing river-view home with private patio, grill

The pros: Recently remodeled older house only a few blocks from downtown Hood river. Amazing location to everything downtown! The kitchen had the best appliances I’ve ever seen in a rental (there was 3 ovens, huge fridge and stove range!)They put a lot of money into the house and it definitely helped give it a more modern feel. They provided lots of cozy blankets, bedding and towels. Cons: The bathroom situation is less than ideal. There are three bedrooms on the second floor , but there is only one bathroom up there and it is located inside one of the bedrooms (not shared). The occupants in the other two bedrooms have to walk downstairs every time they need to use the restroom at night. The downstairs bathroom doesn’t have heat/cooling, so it is pretty cold in the winter. Taking a shower was a chilling experience because the low flow shower head didn’t really produce enough water flow to keep you warm in that cold bathroom. The floors and especially the stairs are very creaky (loud!). Every time someone got up to use the bathroom at night, the whole house was made aware of it. Even white noise didn’t help us sleep through it. The house is heated by a multi-head mini split (there is a head in each room, and two heads downstairs). The rooms had more than enough heating capacity so we pretty much turned off the heat in the rooms after the first evening. The downstairs though took most of two days to warm up to a comfortable temperature. Probably would have been helpful if the housekeepers had turned on the heat a day or two in advance so that floors and other surfaces had time to warm up. The downstairs bathroom has no heat, so we had to keep the door open as much as possible, but it never got comfortable. The other dilemma we ran into was the lack of any hooks in the house. We had to pile 6 people’s worth of wet winter clothes on the entry way floor. The bathrooms and bedrooms also had no hooks so our towels had to hang in odd places throughout the house.
