The Place Beyond The Pines
Adventure in Stevenson, Columbia Gorge, WA, US
As the last of the turns took us off of the paved road and down the private gravel drive, we wondered aloud if we were headed to the Gorge Modern Cabin or the movie set for the next Twilight film. As we drew closer, our jaws dropped further, and we became fully enveloped in a vibrant canopy of old growth cedar and pine. The magnificence and inimitable ambience of this property was on full display, as the perfect cabin in the clearing came into view. An awesome blend of nature and the human element, the Gorge Modern Cabin sits on 16 acres of densely forested pristine land in the iconic Columbia River Gorge. The home itself is literally surrounded by treetops and offers a unique blend of Pacific Northwest Craftsman with warm Scandinavian-ish style design elements, creating an ultra cozy experience that feels natural to where you are. What's not to love? Within moments of arrival, we were already plotting our return. The hallmark feeling of finding that new special place, and the Gorge Modern Cabin is exactly that.
Things We Did
- Waterfall
- Hike
One of the most unique and beloved waterfalls in all of the Pacific Northwest, Panther Creek Falls is an absolute must see in the Columbia River Gorge. Depending on the time of year, you may see up to 5 waterfalls spring from the same basaltic complex, cascading down through ancient moss and lichen. An elegant dance that makes for truly memorable photos!
Not only is this one of the most aesthetically pleasing cabins that I've ever seen, the densely forested property that it sits on is just as spectacular! A rich ecosystem of old growth trees and car sized ferns offer hours of exploration for exercise or a photo walk! There are even trails direct from the front door that lead to waterfalls in the gorge itself!
A must-see, Multnomah Falls on the Oneonta Gorge trail is mind-blowingly beautiful.
