Walk to the Gorge! Sleeps 8. Wanapum Retreat

MorganRating, 5 stars9 months ago

My husband and I were fortunate enough to stay at Wanapum Retreat Cave B Lake 9/1-9/3, and it was an incredible experience. The location is absolutely unmatched—a mere 5-minute walk to both Cave B Winery and The Gorge Amphitheater. Incredibly convenient for us to enjoy the concert and then relax at the retreat without worrying about transportation. Photos/amenities were as described but even better in person! Surroundings are beautiful, with serene views and a peaceful atmosphere. Accommodations were extremely comfortable and well-appointed. SageCliffe Resort & Spa is next door, and Tendrils restaurant is not to be missed! Unfortunately for us, DMB had reserved the entire resort over Labor Day Weekend so we had to find other dining options. This is not common, but something to be aware of. Hosts were communicative and attentive throughout our stay. They also have other properties in this and other locations, which we’ll definitely keep in mind for future trips. Highly recommend!!!!

The modern structure showcases a sleek design with a spacious concrete patio extending outward. A black chair is positioned near the edge, providing a vantage point of the expansive landscape. The horizon is illuminated with soft hues as the sun sets over the hills.

Cheerful 2-Bedroom in the Heart of Desert Aire🏔

CarlyRating, 5 stars9 months ago

We rented this place because we were going to a concert that weekend. It was in a reasonable distance from the gorge, so it was easy to get back-and-forth. There is not a lot around the area, but if you need gas or groceries, you can get pretty easily. The place was very clean and the area was peaceful .

A panoramic view captures multiple structures resting on a rugged landscape, with warm hues of sunset illuminating the scene. The Columbia River flows in the distance, framed by rolling hills, creating a serene backdrop for the setting.
