We used to live in Portland in the late 90s and frequented Skamania Lodge. We even got married there in 1999. The lodge was a very special place to us. Had not been back since moving to CA in 2000. Decided to spend our 10th anniversary there with 2 young kids and grandparents in tow.
Sadly, we were very shocked and disappointed with how Skamania ...

We stayed in the first 2 nights of our honeymoon before returning to Portland to fly back to the New England area.

Great views no matter which ...

The restaurant had exceptional food, and the area has lots to do.
