Shangri-La of the Cascades.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/6/11
Treat yourselves to a fabulous stay at Sakura Ridge, the Shangri-La of the Cascade Mountains. Your hosts Deanna and John have created a uniquely wonderful experience for those interested in a lovely harmonious setting of beautiful views, tranquil gardens, delightfully appointed rooms with private soak tubs and gourmet farm fresh breakfasts that will be remembered long after you have returned home. The Lodge is set within a working organic farm which also produces many of the delicious fresh ingredients you will be served with your memorable breakfast. Located just far enough outside of the busy village of Hood River the Lodge provides a calm, comfortable setting for relaxing after a day of exploring and enjoying the unforgettable Columbia River Gorge. I've been lucky enough to have seen Sakura Ridge evolve over the years and continue to be amazed by the quality of the experience, especially the extraordinary accommodations. I'm recommending The Lodge to my family and friends and I'll soon be back again myself. No need traveling to the Himalayas seeking mystical valleys of earthly paradise...... Come pamper and calm yourself at Sakura Ridge.
