Skamania Lodge

This lodge is a amazing place for a family vacation. Our family loved.

Fantastic getaway in one of the most scenic areas anywhere. The Columbia Gorge is mind-bendingly beautiful. Perfect for romantic getaway or with entire family.

This was a lovely stay. Beautiful scenery and good service. Room was also quiet and bed comfy

We had to wait over two hours after the check in time for our room to finally be ready. A minor inconvenience, but it definitely limited our plans.

Room was nice, but the grout was mildewed and the toilet was staine. Front desk staff was top notch. There was some confusion on checkout, but I was reassured by the superlatve efforts of your staff. Wonderful setting.

Appreciated the setting overlooking the Columbia river. Grounds have some nice features like outdoor gas fireplaces and fire pits. Indoor main lobby with fireplace is surprisingly small for a centerpiece though. Rooms are spacious enough, but come with some quirks. Upstairs rooms are intolerably hot in the winter, apparently only due to heat rising from rooms below. Beware if you use an in-room fireplace since relieving the heat produced can only be done by opening the window to the frigid outdoors. Even with the thermostat off and air handler shut off the blower wouldn’t stop unless the gfci plug was tripped. Shower drain was plugged. Bed wasn’t that comfortable. Other quirks of the hotel include staff taking away courtesy items like hot chocolate at 2 pm (who does that?) - I mean the whole drink table in the lobby is cleared?! Was also surprised with a $16.20 nightly parking fee not disclosed on reservation (particularly since parking is abundant in the winter) and was charged more than thr $15/nt that was stated to another guest checking in at the same time. Overall OK for a place to stay a couple of days while exploring the Columbia Gorge area, but wouldn’t stay here again, and certainly not at the prices I’ve seen for summer stays. Overpriced for what it is. For the same or less I can have a mediocre lodge stay in a National Park with a better setting.

Extremely disappointed by the lack of activities during winter. Would not recommend to go as a family getaway during wintertime. Wanted to do smores and they ran out of skewers gameroom is small, no family event plans for new year..boring.

Not as advertised. Rooms are NOT sound proof, coffee was terrible, carpets are thread bare on stairs and landings. Views were incredible, but many windows had failed glass that hampered the view. Reservation system for the restaurants was managed poorly by what appeared to be teenagers until the night of NYE. Even then we were seated 30 minutes late. Pool area was filled with running, yelling kids making it unusable with no adult hours. Food was overpriced and poorly cooked - even the breakfast buffet had cold scrambled eggs and mushy berries. Saving grace was a very comfortable bed and the spa services were AMAZING!

Always a great time! However, this was the first time that we could not use the outdoor hot tub as it was full of people with children; it was 8:30 pm- children are not supposed to be in there past 6 pm. Don’t get me wrong, we have children and we choose to have a break from children when we go to the lodge.
