Are you dreaming of a woodsy getaway in the Gorge? This property in Mosier gives you an excellent start, beginning with its 15 buildable acres, complete with views of the Columbia River and the Hood River Bridge. Instead of a full-fledged house on-site—you can build that later to your own taste—there’s what we consider a most perfect outbuilding setup: a charming little pool house next to a sizable in-ground, heated, saltwater pool.

We love the simplicity and the priorities here: let’s have fun after a day of recreating in the Gorge, enjoying the property now while saving up to build later. The pool house is a dainty 384 square feet but packs a lot of flexibility. The layout is essentially three rooms lining a wide, covered breezeway. Each room has a separate entrance, making for easy access if you have guests tenting or van-camping nearby.

The combination kitchen and laundry cluster with the full bathroom on one side of the breezeway, while the bedroom sits across. The galley-style kitchen has room enough for full-size appliances, including a refrigerator, four-burner stove, deep sink, and washer and dryer. The finishes are utilitarian and fittingly durable: think concrete floors, wood counters, and wood-paneled walls.

The bathroom veers equally rustic in looks—we like the playful metal bucket pedestal sink—but is full-service with a shower and toilet, thanks to the septic and well systems in place. The bedroom has windows on three walls, and is ensconced in wood paneling for cozy effect.  

Additionally, a deep roof overhang above the patio creates a substantial covered outdoor lounge space, including living and dining areas, and it supports a rooftop solar array for electricity. The exterior sconces lining the breezeway and lounge areas are also a nice finishing touch, though we can only imagine the stargazing once they’re turned off at night.
