Gorge Nest @ NoBo #1 Family+Pet Friendly Getaway

This cozy, family-friendly home will send you off to explore the heart of the Columbia River Gorge by trail or bike. Sitting next to 12+ miles of bike paths, hiking trails, and local brew pubs, your stay can be a perfect balance between get-out and veg-out. ￫ Trails and paved bike paths ￫ Hiking nearby, like the PCT ￫ Fully equipped kitchen ￫ King, Full and twin beds ￫ High Speed WiFi and Additional Hotspot for Remote Work ￫ Close to PDX ￫ Walk to disc golf course, playground and library. Guests can easily park in one of the plentiful and safe town parking lots (for free -- parking passes provided in the apartment). The parking lots are located about a 30 foot walk from the car to the front door of the apartment. We want to create an atmosphere where you feel completely autonomous over your space and we do everything we can to provide the convenience and support to do so. That being said, we are available anytime for your questions and needs. Don’t be shy. Step outside into expansive green space in the heart of North Bonneville. You’ll see a large map nearby (and one in your Guest Guide) to the 12+ miles of paved and unpaved bike paths that weave along the Columbia River, through stands of Douglas Fir, past the disc golf course and local library, and right back to your front door. Head to Trailhead Taproom just across the park for an easy lunch spot, a cold beer, or your bike rental. Or, head just a few miles to Beacon Rock State park to ascend the 848-foot monolith (world’s second largest) to snag spectacular views of the Gorge. Shorter and longer hiking options continue with the Pacific Crest Trail, Eagle Creek, Hamilton Mountain and more. ￫ Nearby Adventuring Exploring out the back door is our favorite thing about this home. Bring your bike or rent one for a cruise around town and out to the sweeping views of the Columbia River at Strawberry Island. Dip into Hamilton Creek, flowing just a short walk from your front door, for some water play time and exploration. The Pierce Wildlife Refuge nearby attracts migratory birds, turtles and other wildlife for viewing. You can also bring your discs or clubs for a round of golf either at the disc golf course in town or the Beacon Rock golf course just down the road. And that is just within walking distance of your front door. Numerous trails and sights lay within a 10 mile radius, like the waterfalls pouring off the basalt cliffs on the Oregon side near Cascade Locks or viewing the migrating salmon through the fish windows at Bonneville Dam. The Pacific Crest Trail crosses the Columbia River just a mile outside of North Bonneville. Take a spur off the trail to see Dry Creek Falls, making the out-and-back adventure one to remember. With so many trail options, we had to include lots of maps and descriptions in your Guest Guide’s Adventure Appendices, which we’ll provide you. Bonneville also attracts avid fisherman. There are 10 lakes within 3 miles and 5 streams within 5 miles of town, all of which seasonally host salmon and steelhead trout. Farther afield you’ll find epic mountains and rivers to explore. We’re partial to the whitewater rafting and kayaking on the nearby White Salmon River, Klickitat River or Wind River having moved to the region for these whitewater gems and guided their rapids for many summers. Basically, the adventure options here are truly endless.
