Villa Columbia

Amazing location, perfect host and unbelievable breakfast. It was a great experience and we will undoubtedly be coming back!

Perfect location, we didn’t need the car to get to the waterfront or downtown. The breakfasts were great, with gorgeous views of the waterfront while eating, and the white salmon room was clean and comfortable. I love all the old built-​in woodwork in the house.

LOVED EVERY MINUTE! It was beautiful, clean, and amazing hospitality! The rain showers were wonderful, the beds were comfy, and all the great places were within walking distance! I would love to come here every weekend!

Just got here and as I lounge on the comfy bed I already know I am going to enjoy my stay. My husband and I regularly come to Hood River but have a hard time knowing where to stay. This place was recommended to us and it’s beautiful. The innkeeper is wonderful and accommodating. This is our new Hood River standby!

Love love the Villa B&B! Was lucky to get a last minute booking after a cancellation on a busy weekend in hood river. Jess was so friendly and accommodating, made us a lovely breakfast and gave us tips on where to go around the area. They even had a place I could store my Mtn bike! The place has a great view of the Gorge and the Hood River room has a great patio to sit and drink coffee in the morning. Our bed was comfy, fresh coffee at 7am, mini fridge with water, and parking spaces for guests. Can’t say enough good things!

We thoroughly enjoyed a mid-​April visit to the Columbia Suite at the Villa Columbia. Our room was peaceful, comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was delicious, and we hope to return SOON. The proprietress was a delight and we were very well cared for as guests. The Villa Columbia was highly recommended as a quiet weekend escape, and I am pleased to add my enthusiastic recommendation.

Booked a stay at the B&B, when we got there they told us that they didn’t accept infants, then she told me that none if the B&B’s in Hood River take babies. The very next place I called did in fact take infants and so did the other two I called. Not very friendly after driving for over an hour to stay. The location was nice and the view was great, but we won’t be back. The female proprietor was rude, rude, rude! Not the way to get customer returns.

I love Villa Columbia. I love their location (right in the heart of downtown Hood River), I love the rooms (the Columbia room, with its view of the Gorges river, is a particular highlight), I love the breakfasts (always beginning with yoghurt, always very French), and I love the proprietors (perfectly affable, great conversationalists, respectful of space).
My first trip to VC was to celebrate a wedding anniversary. I had only been to HR to visit family, as a kid, and was completely clueless as to its undeniable charm. Villa Columbia was an excellent launch pad to explore Oak Street as it is within walking distance of everything – even the train station. I fell in love with HR as a result.
Admittedly, there are a few other B&Bs along Oak Street, but I can’t imagine that any of them will be able to match the class, style, and history of VC. As for the first ‘B,’ the rooms are perfectly apportioned. You will find impeccably clean, snuggly, white robes, gorgeous bathrooms, and even an electric fireplace (all of the ambience, none of the overheating). The OCD in me LOVES how clean their beds, pillows, and towels are. Most rooms have a jacuzzi tub. Bathrooms are spotless.
As for the second ‘B,’ the breakfasts are solidly in my Top 3, all-​time, B&B dining experiences. They tend toward the savory, there is always fresh squeezed organic OJ, and, if you visit in the autumn, you will be guaranteed some fresh apple or pear cider.
I can’t lavish enough praise on Villa Columbia. If you’re looking for a getaway, and your travels bring you to Hood River, there is no substitute.

My husband and I stayed at the Villa Columbia for two nights for the Fourth of July and we instantly fell in love with this place. We were there visiting friends, and the B&B turned out to be only a block away from their house, and it’s also right downtown so it’s only a couple blocks to all of the good restaurants and breweries like Double Mountain and Full Sail. It was super convenient, but just enough away from the tourist hustle and bustle that it’s very peaceful and quiet.
Boba and her husband were the perfect hosts. They made us feel so welcome and made great suggestions on local attractions. Boba even offered to let me cut some of her lavender after I told her how much I loved it. They were so thoughtful and kind. Breakfast was fabulous and we loved sipping our coffee on their covered porch. We also had amazing views of the river and fireworks from our room. Everything was immaculate. We couldn’t be more happy with our stay and we will definitely be back!

We loved this place. The owner was so sweet. She took great pride in keeping the place very clean and comfortable.
The breakfasts were amazing. First day: yogurt with fresh fruit, strawberry & cherry scones, and a spinach egg casserole. I didn’t need to eat for the rest of the day! Second day: yogurt with fresh fruit followed by a twice baked croissant with egg topped in fresh berry compote. yum!
It’s within walking distance of all the great restaurants and bars in the downtown area, so you don’t have to deal with driving or parking. Great views from the common areas.
The rooms have rain showers and jetted tubs. I thought the bed was very comfy, my fiancé thought it was a little too soft. Either way, you really won’t want to leave.

My partner and I went here for the weekend after Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time!
I had originally picked the Hood River room from the website because it fit our budget, but when we got there the host showed us a couple other rooms that were available. We wound up switching to the Deschutes Suite for a discounted rate.
The Hood River room is on the bottom floor on the main road, but I think would be nice during the summer because it connects to an outdoors patio. The Deschutes Suite, upstairs, had a fireplace, desk, table, sofa, small tv, dvd player, radiator with controls for the room, and awesome sleigh bed. Both rooms had their own bathroom with jacuzzi tub. Downstairs had a large common area with beautiful wood furniture and trim, craftsman/​mission style. Nice view across the river from the dining room. They had free wi-​fi.
The b&b is walking distance from downtown Hood River, so we were able to walk to dinner and go wine tasting and not worry about having a DD.
Breakfast the first day was so good I had to ask for the recipe! After yogurt with fresh fruit, she served a whole wheat scone, then stuffed savory french toast. Delicious! Second day was also tasty, baked rolls with pear-​cranberry compote.

Four women touring Oregon, arrived at 6pm, she greeted us and gave us the tour and explained the history of her grand historic arts & craft home. She recommended several breweries and restaurants, all suggests were right on and fabulous. I have already booked a week next September for my husband and me to return and spend a relaxing week in the fruit land where he can fly fish.
The bedrooms are roomy and beds are very comfortable.
She is a great hostess, and does everything to accommodate. I would highly recommend this B&B.

This is a very well-​cared-​for house.
The room we stayed was nice. It had its own bathroom and a television. It was clean and comfortable.
The breakfast area (inside and out on the porch) has a gorgeous view of the river and the hills beyond. The food was not spectacular, but definitely good. And they went out of their way to accommodate some dietary restrictions.
They’ve taken care of the little things like providing bottles of water and soda that you can just grab whenever you’d like. They also have a computer to use and offer wi-​fi if you have your laptop with you. If you have some time to kill around the house there are plenty of books available to read. Or, you can skim through a collection of local menus.
