My wife and I got room #60 for a couple nights. It is a balcony suite with a gas fireplace. It has two large beds, one in a private bedroom, and one in an open area by the living room. I also had a small dining table with a couple chairs in the living room. The balcony was very spacious... More

Thanks much for your review! Glad you enjoyed your room and stay; that room will also be getting some new furniture (currently being hand built). We do have BBQ briquettes, lighter fluid, and tools available to buy/use here in our office at near the same as the store charges. We're going to build/get a couple new BBQ spots soon as... More

Small, affordable place just off the highway, about 5 minutes drive from downtown Hood River. It's on a hill overlooking the river, and the river view rooms have great views. That being said, we stayed in a non-view room since we booked last minute, and were lucky just to get a room in Hood River for the night we were... More

Thanks for your review, glad you had a nice time with us. Next time we'll try to have a View room in back for you to enjoy the view. We're also going to be updating furniture in front and get some new lighting as well. Apologies about the weak wifi signal, if there's ever a connection problem please let us... More

We stayed one night in a large room facing the river with a balcony. We could see over the river across to Washington state. Spectacular view! Excellent value for the size of the room and the great view. The room was nicely furnished and very clean. Comfy, large bed. There was very nice coffee and tea at the reception, which... More

Thanks for your review! We're just about done rebuilding the fence along the cliff as well, so we'll be able to reopen our back courtyard for everyone to enjoy again. It'll be another great spot to enjoy that view! Thanks again. More

My husband and I really like the spacious river view suites - even though we only use the bed in the living area. Our only request would be to have a king size bed put in that area...keep the queen in the bedroom. Hood River is such a beautiful area - we would consider staying at Vagabond Lodge much more...

Thanks for your review! I'll see what we can do regarding switching those to king beds. New furniture for those rooms is being made right now, so I'll look into matching that spot with a king. Thanks again! More

I called the toll free number and was put on hold for 12 minutes, that's TWELVE minutes and I finally just hung up and called again a few minutes later and they put me on hold again. So how can this place claim "certificate of excellence" from Trip Advisor?

Apologies for the wait on the phone. Rarely, we receive a large volume of phone calls at once and we have to put calls on hold. We take care of our guests in the order they called or walked in our office, and we try to get to everyone as promptly as we can. Again, my apologies you were on... More

The Vagabond isn't the most up-to-date and fancy motel out there, but you get friendly service, affordable & clean rooms, a surprisingly quiet location (yet close to I-84) and a nice scenic view. For those traveling with a pet, as we were, the Vagabond is pet-friendly and charges only a modest cleaning fee. (If you travel with a dog, you... More

Thanks for your review! We are currently working on building new, hardwood furniture for our rooms overlooking the river and suites. They'll take us a little time to build, but are on the way. Our landscaping in back is getting close to done, and will look great with the wildflowers we're seeding this week and a few more large rocks... More

We used a Groupon to stay 2 nights here over a weekend to visit some local microbreweries for "Zwinckelfest" We brought our two Golden Retreivers. The pet fee was very reasonable.

Thanks for your review, the landscaping will look great once we place a few more stones and the grass takes root. We'll open it up for everyone as soon as it's ready to go! We have new furniture planned for those rooms, and we'll install it as it's built (hand made, local). Thanks again! More

Very clean, spacious rooms. Nice grounds - don't be turned away by the proximity to the highway. I'd definitely recommend you pay to get a view room. I can't say enough about the service. I've stayed at the Columbia Gorge Hotel - overpriced fluff. I'd rather stay here. Oh, AND PET FRIENDLY!!!! Don't change, guys!

We had a clean and comfortable room for a moderate price. We weren't looking for upscale as this was a short trip. Check in and check out were quick and easy. The view is superb and the Vagabond met our expectations.

This was a very cozy clean little spot to stay at while eating our war thru Hood River. Price is right. Staff was friendly. Our view was spectacular. Only downside on our visit is they were doing construction on the grounds right outside our room so the do not disturb sign was useless. I would suggest letting the guest know... More

Thanks for your review, glad you had a nice time save for our mid-day rock moving. I'm sorry we made too much noise that day. We will be finishing up the viewpoint in the back shortly, so it'll be even better (and quiet mid-day) in the back again. Thanks again for your review! More
