Thistledown on Oak

Valentines tradition This place is absolutely amazing. We are going to make it a Valentine’s Day tradition that we come here every year. We are going to try a different room next time. We were in Griffin‘s loft this time.

My wife and I made a last minute journey to Hood River to celebrate a family birthday and not wanting to make a late night drive through the Gorge home, we decided to stay over for the evening. We were lucky to discover Thistledown on Oak Street, we were even luckier they had availability as this Boutique hotel is truly something special. Each room is unique and we were directed to Griffin’s Loft, One of the 3 rooms currently available in this one of a kind hotel. As we walked in we were amazed by its unique blend of beautiful antiques, bold colors and warm homie feel. But cleverly integrated are all the modern touches you expect with at a high end luxury hotel. Like wifi, fridge, coffee maker, wine glasses and treats, but when you ad in the picture frame big screen televisions that are seamlessly integrated into the decor, or the fireplace with leather sofa with blankets and power curtains?? This place is special. And the bed…. Adjustable comfort you just don’t find in any hotels, one of the most comfortable I have experienced. Though the building is built is 100 plus years old, Thistledown on oak is relatively new we were told that the current 3 rooms will be expanded in the near future and we can’t wait to see what those look like, and once this place is discovered they will need the extra availability. I can imagine seeing this place on the Conde’ Nast’s lists of must-visit hotels soon, As this place is over the top magnificent! And the bonus is its just minutes off I-84 in the heart of downtown Hood River. Check it out!!

We were lucky to discover *Thistledown on Oak Street* in Hood River for a last-minute stay while celebrating a family birthday. This boutique hotel is truly something special—you don’t just stay here, you explore your room! We stayed in Griffin’s Loft, and from the moment we walked in, we were enchanted by the unique blend of beautiful antiques and modern touches. The building’s rich history adds to its charm, making it feel like you’re stepping into another time, but with all the modern comforts you could want. A few highlights: the whisper-quiet rooms ensure total relaxation—you don’t hear doors slamming or guests running around. The furnishings are solid, timeless, and gorgeous, yet the contemporary details, like the picture-frame TV, add a cool modern vibe. And the bed—easily one of the most comfortable we’ve slept in. This place feels like it belongs on Condé Nast’s list of must-visit hotels. We’re already planning to return to explore one of the other unique rooms. Thistledown is a hidden gem that truly makes Hood River unforgettable.

Amazing hotel This is an amazing gem in the middle of Hood River. The room is unique and very functional. Bed is very comfortable, and adjustable for the perfect sleep experience. Complimentary snacks and beverages as well as an espresso machine in the room. The host are responsive to any questions.

“Unique” is an insufficient description for Thistledown. The hotel is over-the-top fabulous. The thematic decor provides visual candy at every turn. Yet modern amenities such as an adjustable bed, power curtains, power skylight shades and more are part of the vintage decor. The hot water takes some time to get running but they warn you about that. Fun place; highly recommended!

Thistledown on Oak is MAGNIFICENT!!! I knew Hood River was a great place and I recently got a chance to return with my wife and after some research I found Thistledown on Oak. It doesn't do it justice to describe it as a Hotel because it's more unique than that. The best way I can describe it is to imagine if you knew a celebrity and they gave you their luxury apartment to use while they were away. It has to be seen to be believed. We were fortunate enough to experience Griffin's Loft which is the smallest of the suites available and was amazing in itself but then we moved into the Penthouse for a few days.... OMG!!! I will add some photos because words aren't enough and no one is going to read a review this long never mind what it would actually take to describe it properly. I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to our amazing host Kimi, she is perfect....there when we needed anything but also ensured we had absolute peace and privacy throughout. A special thanks to the owners, Sarah & Brad (I hope I got that right) You gave us a life long memorable experience! We really did not want to leave and we will return!
