Traveling with one’s dog has a way of turning any trip into a choose-yourown-adventure, complete with extra time spent outdoors, spontaneous stops, and a very enthusiastic co-pilot. For Luna the corgi—the canine companion to Oregon Home magazine’s creative director—a two-night visit to Hood River at the tail-end of 2025 meant trading routine walks for waterfront strolls, scenic hikes, and a front-row seat to the Columbia River Gorge. Luna’s home-base was a pet-friendly suite at the Columbia Cliff Villas Hotel, where evenings felt calm and restorative curling up by an in-room gas fireplace. The hotel boasts beautiful views of the Gorge and condo-style lodgings with everything you need to feel right at home after a day spent exploring. Pairing easy outdoor access with cozy accommodations, the hotel made for a truly un-fur-gettable way to ring in the New Year. Even in the off-season, the area offered plenty for Luna to enjoy and crisp, sunny weather to take it all in. From peaceful strolls through the waterfront park, offleash romping on the beach, or scenic trails along the Historic Columbia River Highway, four-legged travelers will find fun and adventure in Hood River any time of the year.
