Winter in Hood River: Less People, Lower Prices

Hey there. I’m Sasquatch. Squatch for short, and I write about Lodge 902 and Hood River, Oregon.

Last summer, Hood River was teeming with wedding goers, family reunioners, mountain bikers and windsurfers.

But winter is coming. And soon the town will become nice and quiet, just how I like it.

Hood River, Oregon is just an hour from Portland, Oregon and 45 minutes from Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort. It draws outdoorsy folk from all over the world to its natural beauty, restaurants, breweries and wineries.

Soon, the traffic will go way down, and so will the cost to rent out Lodge 902.

For the next several (colder) months, Lodge 902 has dropped its prices so that your group can rent all three floors of comfort and fun. All to yourselves — at a reduced rate.

Lodge 902 has six bedrooms (plus two more if you need them). Each bedroom is professionally decorated in a unique and campy way. Each one is outfitted with 1800 thread sheets and your own bathroom.

The lodge was beautifully outfitted for large groups... with so many places you could hang out with others and so many spots you could tuck yourself away for some quiet time. The kitchen was well equipped for the family dinners that were whipped up every night. The location was fantastic, as there are so many shops, restaurants, coffee shops, wineries that were just a short stroll away.

... Each room had plenty of privacy and their own bathrooms. Very cool game and entertainment room in the basement. A nice view from the dining room. Would love to come back!

So, before all the good winter and spring reduced-rate nights are booked, round up your favorite moms, your college buddies, ski group, book group, knitting, investing, wine-tasting, meditation, or couples group, and reserve Hood River’s Lodge 902, where you can walk a few blocks to downtown or simply stay in and take a jetted bath (4 our of 6 tubs are jetted).
