You are welcome to hang out in sunroom, but keep in mind it is common space as other may need to enter to do laundry, or access the breaker box, etc. So please don't leave your computer or valuables unattended.

Oh and don't be scared, but deer will come to the yard too! I live here part time so I may be there during your stay, but even if I'm not around I am only a text away and will leave you in capable hands. Lyle is a rustic little town, nothing fancy, but it's quiet, safe and offers easy access to everything the Gorge has to offer. It's located on a quiet street, just off the Klickitat Hwy. Just steps from the Klickitat Trailhead, which runs along the beautiful and scenic river where world-class fishing and our local swimming hole await. It you like kayaking and tubing you have come to the right place. We are just 3 blocks from Hwy 14, the Lewis & Clark Trail and the sand bar, where kiters come from around the world to visit. On a calm day, the shallow water also makes it a fun family venue for dogs, kids and a picnic lunch. The hillside access is to the sandbar is quite steep so elderly or little ones may need some help getting up or down. Doug's beach, one of the Gorge's most popular sailboarding destinations is just 3 miles east on hwy 14. We have two wine tasting rooms in Lyle, Memaloose and Tetrahedron. Memaloose is walking distance, on hwy 14. The Tetrahedron Winery is just a 3 blocks east on Hwy 14. Lyle also boasts a cafe, bar & grill, grocer, or if you are in the mood for a fine dining experience, you can visit the historic Lyle Hotel. There are 5 wineries within 3 miles of Lyle and about 50 within 25 miles, so if wine tours are on your "must do" list you won't be disappointed. For more shopping and nightlife, you can visit the many shops, pubs and eateries in The Dalles, White Salmon or Hood River, all just 15-20 minutes away by car. You will need a car to get around, if you fly in from PDX you can rent a car from the airport. It is also possible to take the GreyHound bus into Hood River, and arrange for transport to Lyle. While there is plenty in and around Lyle to keep you busy within walking distance, you will likely want to take in some sightseeing day trips so while it is possible to get by without one, I recommend you hire a rental car just so you make the most of your Gorge vacation. This apartment was formerly the basement in an older home, circa 1945, as such the ceilings are low. If you are 6'+, I hope you are a LOTR fan, you will get the Hobbit experience you've always dreamed of! *Extra charges apply if I have to dress like Bilbo ;)
