My boyfriend wanted to go fishing during our Thanksgiving holiday and I have to admit I wasn’t all that excited. But, he did his homework and found us this awesome River front cabin/suite. It was perfect, the place was well kept, cozy, clean, comfortable with beautiful outdoor deck seating and gas fire places- so nice to kick back and enjoy the River. Guy, our host is one of a kind! Super hospitable and very knowledgeable about the area. Cute cafe and steakhouse within 2 minute walk. I can’t say enough about the place!

Came in from North Carolina to visit family. Happened across the Klickitat River inn by chance on the internet and are glad we did! GREAT LOCATIONS! The cottage was comfy and stocked with all needed items. The back porch/ deck was so relaxing. We really appreciated the firewood. Linda is so sweet, thoughtful, and accommodating. She checked in daily just to ensure we had what we needed Thank you! we hope to be back soon + will share with others!

Beautiful views of the river with a huge deck that over looks the Klickitat River! Swimming area literally right next to the Inn with a small, very small boat launch! Friendly service & a great owner! Very well taken care of inn! This is a small Inn but very romantic & a little secluded with a whole lot of places to just relax & enjoy your time!

From the moment we stepped foot onto the property we were already talking about when we could schedule another visit here. Located right along the river with lush lawns and an amazing assortment of cozy outdoor seating areas it really did feel like a little slice of paradise. The view and tranquil sounds of the river are magical. Four generations of my family came here to vacation right near where my grandma used to live. Linda even had the idea and took the initiative to reach out to the people living in my Grandma’s old home so she could see it. This meant so much to her! The deck and lawn were situated perfectly for the grandparents to get a great view of the grandkids swimming and jumping off the rocks into the river. We also really enjoyed floating in inner tubes down the river as well as riding in a drift boat. I wish we would have brought our paddle board as I enviously watched others paddle board and kayak in the river. Next time! The river wasn’t clear enough to fish when we were there but people LOVE to fish on this river too. We stayed in the house and one of the apartments and they were both nicely furnished, comfortable, and stocked with all the amenities we could need. Plenty of kitchen items and serving bowls when family and friends joined us for a bbq. We bought some take-and-bake pizza from The Canyon Market just up the street that was affordable and delicious! We visited the Klickitat Historical Museum which was a wonderful walk down memory lane and would also be fun for people new to the area to see the vibrant history of the town. We had so much fun but wished we would have stayed longer. We rode bikes around town but would have liked to ride or walk along the Klickitat Trail too. Already looking forward to next time!

The Klickitat River Inn is awesome. It was the perfect place for us to stay. It’s right on the river, super comfortable and has plenty of amenities. There’s a store and great steakhouse/bar within walking distance. Guy was super responsive and a great host. He helped with anything we needed. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to spend time on this beautiful river.

i stayed for two night with a large group of 12 poeple. We had the main house and 3 of the 4 suites next door. great parking and pet friendly! private river access with incredible views of the sunset hitting the canyon walls. I couldnt of hoped for a better weekend. There was great wifi, and multiple Grills for BBQ. I cant wait to come back later this summer. You can fish right off the deck. this place could easily handle 20 person parties.

WOW! What an amazing, unexpected little gem. At the end of a residential street, you turn your back on the little town and step into a private oasis. The grounds are attractive. The plethora of loungers, oversized chairs, and assorted tables provide many comfortable options. The large covered deck event space is great for a party of up to 50. The hosts are attentive and work hard to ensure your experience is a memorable one. The main house is cozy with a fireplace in the main room. Sleeps 6. The 4 mini suites are surprisingly very complete, with an actual kitchen. Clean and magazine photo shoot ready.... for every guest. Two blocks away are eating and grocery options. The Klickitat Museum will open upon request for you. The Klickitat Trail, 31 miles long for hiking and biking, is a great way to explore the surrounding scenic beauty. The Wild & Scenic Klickitat River has Salmon runs up it. Native fishing activities can be viewed from Fisher Bridge. Rafting the higher portion above Klickitat and past the Inn is another great way to play during your stay!

Enjoyed our stay. The studio was comfortable and the kitchen was supplied with all sorts of "staples". We loved the large covered deck on the river, and spent both mornings and evenings there. It is a little remote so you want to plan for that. Linda was attentive and we enjoyed talking with her.
