4 Best Hotels in Stevenson, Southeastern Washington

This warm, woodsy lodge on an expansive, verdant swath of forest and meadows impresses with a multitude of windows overlooking the surrounding mountains and Gorge, an outstanding array of recreational facilities, and handsome, Pacific Northwest–chic accommodations, many with fireplaces and all with views. The upscale-rustic interior features Montana-slate tiles, Native American artwork, and an immense wood-burning fireplace. "Skamania" is the Chinook word for "swift water," and the lodge's 175 acres are just a stone's throw from the Columbia River. Facilities include a well-respected 18-hole golf course, 4 miles of hiking trails, a large indoor pool, a 1-mile fitness loop, a grass volleyball court, outdoor tennis court, and a dramatic zip line course with commanding views of the Gorge. Staff will pack you a lunch if you're going out for the day. The Waterleaf Spa and Fitness Center offers a full slate of soothing treatments, and the resort's two restaurants offer some of the top dining experiences in the region.

Comprising six airy, high-ceilinged modern cabins with stylish kitchenettes, indoor-outdoor geothermal soaking tubs, and expansive decks, this 100-acre woodland hideaway is ideal for a restorative retreat in nature—within moments of your arrival, you'll probably notice your blood pressure abating. This a cabin-rental complex rather than a hotel per se, as there's no lobby or common facilities, but that also means you'll enjoy total privacy throughout your stay. Downtown Stevenson is a 10-minute drive, and there's plenty of great hiking nearby.

Opened in 2022 inside an early-1900s building that was originally a hotel but was transformed into other businesses over the years, this centrally located boutique lodging has cheerfully furnished, reasonably priced rooms, many with views of the Gorge. The hotel is right in the center of Stevenson's quaint little business district, close to shopping and restaurants, but the hotel has its own inviting eatery and wine bar, 77 Cork & Tap Bistro.
