Our kids loved the dino touches and of course the animatronic life size dinos! Hot tub was private and relaxing and the house was very comfortable for our large group.

The most incredible and unique property. My friends and I rented this house as we ran the 100K Gorge Ultra. It was perfect for us as it was spacious, open for entertaining, and had all the amenities we needed. The moving dinosaurs were an added special touch. Highly recommend to any families or just friends coming together looking for a special place.

We had the best time at the Dino home! The outdoor dinosaurs are of incredible quality. Even better than the dinosaurs we saw at the pacific science center in Seattle. Our 2 year old loved the generous amount of dinosaur toys to play with in his bedroom as well as his “big boy” bunk bed. We enjoyed our evenings lounging on the most comfortable couch in the world. Everything was perfect. The attention to detail across the whole property is incredible. We’d love to come back :)

Great communication from the start. House was immaculate and well supplied.. Big public area fit everyone and was comfortable. Hot tub was great.As in some other properties I have experienced, the bedrooms have open windows with shutters to the public area. It can be loud if one retires earlier than the rest of the group. Owner/agent receptive to suggestions as discoveries/inconveniences arose such as bedside lighting, cookware etcWe loved the dinosaurs! They are incredible. And we watched the supplied Jurassic Park movies on the big screen inside. That area of the Columbia River is gorgeous. Jurassic Retreat would be a fun base for a family to spend some time exploring. Even with mostly all adults, we worked the dinos often.We were to capacity with a girls cousin room and a boys cousin room and adult brother and sister with their spouses.in the other two rooms. The big bathroom upstairs worked well for the girls to get ready while the rest of us went downstairs. Prepping for a family wedding with several events over two days, we had lots of ins and outs and turnarounds. Everyone had their space and it worked well.I rented a large 4WD at the listings suggestion and was glad I did. Other cars could make it up the hill but it was a breeze with my Suburban.
