Location: Stevenson resort vs Hood River waterfront

Skamania Lodge – Location

Skamania Lodge sits on 175 wooded acres above the Columbia River Gorge near Stevenson attractions.

  • Walk to Columbia River Gorge access and the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center Museum.
  • Short drives to Bridge of the Gods, Bonneville Dam, Beacon Rock, and trailheads.
  • Free shuttle to downtown Stevenson; about 34–40 miles from Portland International Airport (drive times vary).

Skamania is best if you want a large, activity-focused property set into Gorge woods with easy access to nearby sights.

Columbia Cliff Villas Hotel – Location

Columbia Cliff Villas Hotel sits on the Hood River waterfront with direct Gorge and river access.

  • Waterfront location puts the Columbia River and Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area steps away.
  • Close to Hood River town attractions (farmers market, marina, local dining and activities).
  • Preferred airport PDX is the regional option for arrivals (about 57.4 miles by road).

Columbia Cliff is the straightforward Hood River choice for travelers who want immediate river views and easy town access.

Rooms: 254-room lodge vs 37 villa-style rooms

Skamania Lodge – Rooms

Skamania Lodge offers a large variety of room types, suites, cabins and treehouses across the resort.

  • About 254 guestrooms across multiple categories, including treehouses, cabins, suites and villas.
  • Room types include River-view options, Fireside rooms, and unique Tree House and Villa units.
  • Free Wi‑Fi in rooms; resort fee applies and covers parking, Wi‑Fi, pool/fitness access.

Skamania’s varied inventory suits families, groups, or anyone seeking unique room types and views on a large property.

Columbia Cliff Villas Hotel – Rooms

Columbia Cliff Villas Hotel has 37 air-conditioned rooms with villa-style options and premium bedding.

  • Room types listed: Courtyard Room, Euro King Room, King Studio, River Room.
  • Rooms include flat-screen TVs, pillowtop beds with premium bedding, and private bathrooms with rainfall showerheads.
  • Complimentary wired and wireless internet; some operational details (smart lock, OpenKey app) are noted in check-in instructions.

Columbia Cliff is a smaller, room-focused property that emphasizes comfortable villa-style accommodations and river views.

Dining & drinks: multiple on-site outlets vs a single featured restaurant

Skamania Lodge – Dining & drinks

Skamania Lodge runs several on-site dining outlets serving Pacific Northwest American fare and casual pub food.

  • Cascade Dining Room serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with regional fare (reservations recommended for dinner).
  • River Rock Lounge offers pub-style menu and seasonal patio seating; additional casual/backyard dining and to-go options exist.
  • Suitable for families and groups with varied menus and hours across outlets.

Skamania gives you on-site choices for different meal styles and group sizes without leaving the property.

Columbia Cliff Villas Hotel – Dining & drinks

Columbia Cliff features Simons Cliffhouse as its on-site dining outlet for hotel guests.

  • Simons Cliffhouse serves hotel guests — a waterfront dining option close to the rooms.
  • Smaller property footprint means fewer on-site dining choices; Hood River town nearby expands options.
  • Guests can easily walk or drive into Hood River for more restaurants and cafes.

Columbia Cliff covers meals with a waterfront restaurant and relies on nearby Hood River for additional dining variety.

Pools & signature amenity: resort recreation vs waterfront views

Skamania Lodge – Pools & signature amenity

Skamania Lodge’s signature guest draw is the breadth of on-site recreation and pool/spa facilities.

  • Large heated indoor pool and indoor whirlpool hot tub with specified kid-friendly hours.
  • Outdoor hot tub overlooking the Columbia Gorge (21+ after 6 PM), plus saunas in locker rooms.
  • On-site activities include an 18-hole golf course, zipline, aerial ropes course, bicycle rentals and trails.

If on-site recreation and pool facilities matter, Skamania provides a resort-style mix of activities and water amenities.

Columbia Cliff Villas Hotel – Pools & signature amenity

Columbia Cliff’s defining amenity is its waterfront setting and direct access to Columbia River views.

  • Located steps from the Columbia River Gorge and the Columbia River; views are a primary draw.
  • Offers concierge help for local tours and activities (sailing, fishing, rafting and nearby water sports listed).
  • Smaller property scale means fewer on-site recreational facilities compared with a full resort.

Columbia Cliff’s appeal is the riverfront location and quick access to Hood River water-based activities rather than on-site resort recreation.

Wellness & nightlife: spa and fitness vs quiet waterfront stays

Skamania Lodge – Wellness & nightlife

Skamania provides a full-service spa and fitness facilities alongside casual evening dining and a lounge.

  • Waterleaf Spa offers HydraFacial, massages, warm stone therapy, body treatments; spa treatment hours may vary — confirm when booking.
  • Fitness Center with Peloton bikes and Precor equipment (fitness center age minimum applies).
  • Evening options include River Rock Lounge and seasonal patio seating for casual drinks and shareables.

Skamania mixes a formal spa program with casual lodge nightlife suitable for families and adults.

Columbia Cliff Villas Hotel – Wellness & nightlife

Columbia Cliff is quieter in the wellness/nightlife category and focuses on waterfront calm and nearby Hood River offerings.

  • A health/beauty spa is listed nearby; the property itself emphasizes waterfront views and concierge-arranged activities.
  • No extensive on-site nightlife — guests typically use the hotel restaurant or explore Hood River after dark.
  • Complimentary use of a nearby fitness center is included in amenities.

Pick Columbia Cliff for a low-key, view-first stay with Hood River nightlife and dining just a short trip away.
