Villa Columbia BnB

Food is great, not awesome, but great. Attention from hosts was outstanding. This place has a great location, walking distance to many restaurants, tasting rooms, etc. Overall a good experience, but not quite sure if worth the price tag. Next time I am in the area I will look for other options nearby to having something to compare to.

My husband and I stayed at VillaColumbia in the middle of October, 2011. The home is within walking distance of town and the outdoor deck offers a lovely view of the Columbia River. The home is comfortable and the owners very kind. The breakfast offering was gracious and the owners met all dietary restrictions of the guests. I only was disappointed in the quality of the television in the room (for I was trying to watch a college football game!!) and the bed we had was very uncomfortable. We stayed in the only guest room offered on the 1st fl and I don't know about the other rooms but we did not sleep at all while there sadly.

Nice rooms, view and location. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Had a great stay here except for one issue. We were in a room that was on the front of the house. It was close to a a busy street and the traffic woke us every morning long before we wanted to be awake. I suggest to the staff that they install some sound limiting curtains or even storm windows. Overall, the place is great and the food is exceptional!

Very Comfortable. Convenient parking. Enjoyed the innkeeper. River views were great. Worth a return visit.

Barbara and her husband struck the right balance for us on our recent stay. Helpful, friendly, without being in our space. Our room was spacious, well lit, exceedingly comfortable mattress, sheets, and pillows (and we are picky). Clean. Fresh fruit, cookies, water and sodas. Beautiful decking looking at the river and Mount Adams. Barbara even packed us a wonderful breakfast on our last day when we had to leave at 4AM to head to the airport. We would stay again!

This was our first time to Hood River. I was thrilled with the centralized location of the B&B - walking distance in the evenings to our dinner/entertainment. Boba was very helpful and attentive, and breakfast was divine! Recommend you get a room facing the river.

We recently stayed at the Villa Columbia and had a wonderful time. The food was fantastic and the complimentary drinks and snacks were very much appreciated. The rooms were clean, the staff very pleasant and helpful, and the location was very convenient. The private parking was a huge plus. It was quiet and private. I am EXTREMELY picky about cleanliness and service but my expectations were certainly satisfied. I would absolutely recommend the Villa Columbia and I would definitely stay there again. It was a very good value for the money.

Breakfasts were delicious and great for getting us ready for a day of hiking. Boba is a gracious host who helped us choose the sites we wanted to visit, restaurants, etc. She was very warm and extremely helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much. We would highly recommend this lovely inn. It's in a great location for visiting the gorge, right in the middle of everything.

Villa Columbia was my final stop on a 5-day cycling tour of Oregon. Stayed there two nights, wish it had been more. Boba and her staff were the perfect hosts, consistently accommodating without being intrusive. The house is impeccably, yet comfortable appointed, beautifully maintained. Of all the B&B experiences I've had in my life, this was the best. I thought it was the perfect B&B.

This is a good B & B that could be great. Stayed in the Hood river room. They need a new more comfortable mattress and a new bed spread (the red felt cheap). The sheets were very nice though. The light bulbs need to be changed to from the blinding halogen to regular bulbs. It would be great if they had a ceiling fan - it was stuffy with no AC. The room is right by the front door and very noisy if you retire early. The food was wonderful and the view and location were great - you can walk downtown. The bathroom was very nice with the jacuzzi tub.

We so much enjoyed our stay in Hood River at Villa Columbia..... the restored home was very comfortable, well appointed and beautiful. The breakfast every day exceeded our expectations....fresh fruit, unique egg dishes and breads....the whole wheat scones were one of a kind! The Innkeepers were welcoming and gave us great tips on exploring the area!

we stayed for four nights - wonderful food and service - Boba is the best!!

Very clean and beautiful property. Innkeeper very knowledgeable about area and excellent cook! We will return again!

My husband and I stayed at the Villa Columbia in the Deschutes River Room over the 4th of July weekend. It was a lovely stay! The house is beautiful and immaculate and our room was spacious and comfortable. My only suggestion would be to add a full-length mirror somewhere in the room. There was a convenient upstairs sitting area with a small refrigerator with water and sodas that was stocked daily. If you happen to be there during the 4th of July, the best place in Hood River to watch the fireworks is the side porch of the Villa Columbia. Amazing views of the river, the fireworks, and a nice glass of wine. Heavenly. But the best part was breakfast! I am vegetarian and gluten free. The innkeeper, Boba, made me a special breakfast each morning that was tasty and filling. The daily fresh fruit and yogurt were followed by different main courses each day: Spinach casserole, gluten free french toast, and an omelet with roasted red peppers. Very accommodating to special diets. The location of the inn was excellent. We were able to walk to all of the downtown winery tasting rooms (there are at least 6!) and walk to some excellent restaurants as well. It was also easy to hop onto the freeway and get to the wineries outside of Hood River. Room Tip: Deschutes River room overlooks the front street and gets some road noise. Columbia River room is at the back and probably quieter.

The covered porch was a treat as was the enclosed sun porch. We enjoyed sitting outside in the evening, watching the water sports taking place in the river. It was especially nice drinking our morning coffee on the porch. One caution, if you walk "down" town, be sure to be ready to walk back up. The B&B sits on at the top of a hill, both behind the house and to the town side of the house. A very steep hill!

The Villa Columbia was exactly what we hoped it would be. We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house with luxurious common spaces, a delicious homemade breakfast, and incredible hospitality. A few short blocks from downtown Hood River, and a great view of the 4th of July fireworks from a private patio. Our room was a little smaller than we expected from the photos online, but we enjoyed a private bathroom with jacuzzi tub. We were sent on our way with fresh springs of cut lavender, and we wished we had booked more than one night!

Boba cooked a delicious brown rice bread french toast for my wife while I had a great breakfast along with the other guests. The room was spacious and had a great bathroom. The location is ideal for taking a stroll down town and just enjoying the views of the river. This was our 6th B&B and it ranked right up there with the best ones we have stayed at.

The overall experience was great from the multi course, healthy and creative breakfasts to the lovely rooms. The rooms have a Victorian touch, but are updated with modern craftmanship and amenities. Views are incredible in the rooms that claim them. Some details impressed us such as the sitting area with wine glasses and mini-fridge for guest use. The only thing that I would change is related to the bathroom soaps. The bathrooms are beautiful and the showers have soap dispensers (shampoo, conditioner, shower gel) mounted on the wall that you pump out from the bottom. I would personally prefer the individual shampoo bottles and bar soap you typically find in a hotel.

Clean, quiet, delicious! We loved our stay at Villa Columbia. Our room was inviting and comfortable. The food was sooooo good and we were so well fed we didn't eat lunch! The location was perfect and we didn't bother to drive our entire stay, but walked into town to enjoy all that Hood River had to offer. We are planning a return trip later in the year.

Had a nice stay at Villa Columbia. Host was great , breakfast were outstanding, views were spectacular.

The jetted tub in the room made relaxing very easy... The breakfast was great! The rooms were very cozy and very clean. VERY close to all the restaurants and shops in Hood River. I think it was about a 3-5 minute walk to most of the action. Wouldn't hesitate to book again if we want to stay in Hood River again.

Beautifully restored home with lovely landscaping and delightful and thoughtful hosts! Attention to detail to make our stay special was outstanding, from the delicious breakfasts to the complimentary champagne for our anniversary toast. Great beds and luxury linens, thick robes, complimentary water, soft drinks, and cookies were much appreciated!

Our daughters wedding was beautiful in many ways, but added touch was extraordinary personal touch provided by the villa Columbia owners was unique. Highly recommending for special events one might want to experience in this spot of Oregon! Guest will be surprised and satisfied!

Very clean, well presented accommodation. Rear bedrooms overlook the Columbia River. House is central & within walking distance to restaurants, shops etc Breakfast is beautifully presented & plenty of it. Bedroom is a little small, especially when travelling with large bags. The bed is very comfortable & the sitting room off the bedroom is a plus.

Such a lovely couple with a beautiful home. Great location and wonderful breakfast. Couldnt have picked a better place.

Villa Columbia is the best. Boba, the innkeeper, keeps the house immaculate and serves an amazing breakfast every morning. We have now stayed here in each of the seasons and we always love the river and stunning views of Mount Adams from the main rooms. In the spring and summer I love to sit on the patio enjoying morning coffee or evening wine watching the river. The location is great for an easy walk to town. I highly recommend this wonderful home for your next visit to Hood River.

We had a wonderful stay. We had lots of privacy and enjoyed our time sitting in the living room reading by the large fireplace. The craftmanship of the house is beautiful.

Boba is the most friendly and helpful hostess you will ever meet. She's a great cook, and the breakfasts are wonderful. We enjoyed our stay there- esp the location which is in walking distance of Hood River's downtown and restaurants.

Boba was a warm and gracious hostess and made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout our too-brief one-night sisters getaway. We appreciated her informative tour of the house to situate us when we arrived. Our room was ready early, beds were wonderfully comfortable, bedroom, bath, and all public areas spotless. Spectacular view of the Columbia River and the Gorge from the public rooms. Easy stroll to dining and shopping in the charming downtown area of Hood River. Highly recommend!

The weekend was so relaxing and enjoyable for me and my wife. We will return in the spring to enjoy the food and relaxation.

We had a wonderful visit to Villa Columbia recently. We received prompt service after accidentally locking ourselves out of our room! The location of the bed and breakfast could not have been more perfect since it was in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to the downtown area restaurants. The room was extremely comfortable (we stayed in the Columbia Suite) with a very comfortable bed, sitting area with a view of the river, and a fire place. Unfortunately, we were only at the Villa Columbia for two nights, but would definitely come back again! A special thank you to the Villa's owners, Boba and VJ, for making our stay so special. They were excellent hosts!!

A great spot to stay if you want a very clean and comfortable environment, great views, close to town( walking distance) and all the regions features and a delicious breakfast! Great hosts.

We took an overnight tour from Seattle along the Columbia River and Hood River was an ideal spot to stay. We were very delighted with the accomodations at the Villa Columbia. Wonderful room and breakfast. Great location within walkind distance of restaurants, etc. Also, met some interesting people from America and from Denmark. We would highly recommend this B&B.

From the first contact with their beautiful web-site, welcome to the property and my stay - this was wonderful. The house was renovated very nice with a lot of European thatches and charm. The hosts were very helpful and gracious. You get a lot for your money.The B&B is outstanding, relaxing and tranquil. All rooms are very luxurious with private bathrooms. With wireless Internet access I was able to do my work in their Sun Room overlooking the Columbia River and Mt. Adams. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Very pleasant owner. Spotlessly clean and relaxing. Flatscreen TV fast internet access.

My wife and I just returned from 4 nights in Oregon, 2 of which were at the Villa Columbia (the other 2 were in Newberg). This place is absolutely beautiful – wonderful Craftsman style that has been updated quite nicely. As we were in Hood River prior to peak season, parking was not a problem, but the private lot was very convenient. As we were the only patrons during our stay, Boba immediately offered us an upgrade and we were able to move up stairs to the Columbia River Room (from the Hood River Room). We did see all of the rooms and would have gladly stayed in any of them – they are all well appointed with wonderful bathrooms. We took time one afternoon to lounge in the large living room (with very comfortable couches) and on the shared deck that has a nice view out toward the river. Boba’s breakfasts were hardy and tasty. I’d read reviews on other websites that the breakfasts weren’t overly great, but I would argue otherwise, the stuffed French toast, while not truly “stuffed” in my opinion, was good and something different, and the omelet the next morning was excellent (I recommend the chicken sausage and the red pepper sauce if given the option). We also met Boba’s husband who was just as welcoming as she was. The Villa is close to downtown Hood River and we walked there each night for dinner and microbrews. Boba and her husband recommended several places, each of which was perfect. Their recommendation for a sushi place was a hit for both my wife and I, and I can’t each fish. Boba also provided us with recommendations and a very helpful book on Mt. Hood hikes. Overall, Villa Columbia has a great location, clean comfortable rooms, beautiful bathrooms, and tasty food. I rate value as Met My Expectations as I honestly expect to pay $150-$200 for this type of B&B (tho I would pay lower if I can find it!). I also rate Cleanliness as Met My Expectations as for that amount of money, it sure better be clean!

This place exceeded our expectations... close to Mt Hood ski resorts (~25 mins), right at beatiful Hood River downtown (restaurants, services, etc) this BnB was the highest point in our last vacation in the area. Room, food outstanding overall :)

We arrived and were immediately offered an upgrade. The hosts were very kind and the entire house was beautiful. The breakfast each day was healthy and a perfect start to a day of snowboarding. I would recommend this B&B to anyone who wants a lovely getaway.

This is the first time we 've stayed here, but it won't be the last. This is a first rate B & B. Excellent in all respects! Highly recommended!

Host Boba was kind & welcoming. Rooms clean & cozy. Large. Great breakfast & garden flowers. Staff helpful.

We attended a family wedding and rented the entire B&B. Rooms were very nice, clean & charming. Location is with in walking distance of down town. All of us though this was a wounderfull place and would recommend staying here.

We spent two nights at Villa Columbia at the end of April and had a truly wonderful experience. The rooms were clean, the service and thoughtful additional touches were very special, the breakfast was substantial and mouth watering, and the B&B itself was beautifully appointed. If you're going to be spending time in Hood River and you want something special then you should seriously consider Villa Columbia.

My recent stay at Villa Columbia was absolutely beautiful. The location is great in downtown with walking distance to nice restaurants and shops. I had a room with very comfortable bed and nice jacuzzi tub. The breakfast was very delicious. The house is quiet, welcoming, very spacious, elegantly restored historic home. This was the nicest Bed and Breakfast I have ever stayed.

I am amazed at how wonderful our stay here was. The room was beautiful and very comfortable. The food was beyond my expectations and the hostess was hospitable, friendly, and well informed about the area.

My wife and I stayed here for our "Babymoon" and it was terrific! Boba and her husband were excellent hosts, kind, attentive and respectful. The three course breakfasts were amazing, we didn't want to leave the table, the gorgeous views of the river probably contributed to that :-). We will definitely stay here again and we've been recommending it to friends and family.

My boyfriend and I decided to stay at the last minute in Hood River and after viewing other places in the area, Villa Columbia had the best accommodations. Boba and VJ were wonderful hosts. Very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was beyond wonderful (hooray for strudel(sp?) bread!). The bed was super soft and comfortable and we had the room with the clawed foot tub (fits two!). It was the best experienced, very happy and we plan on coming back next time were on the west coast.

This home is immaculately restored and each room decorated with such care! The photos on the website don't lie; the rooms really are that nice, and the rain showerheads really wonderful. The innkeepers kept cookies and sweets out at all times and served delicious breakfasts catering to our tastes (we had vegetarian companions). Easy to walk to all types of restaurants and pubs in Hood River (nothing's far) and the decks outside the rooms are wonderful to sit with morning coffee on. The upstairs sitting room is a bit small for social gathering, and we didn't have extra room in the bedroom, but the decor and the restoration job really won us over.
