Gorge Glamping in Style!
We totally enjoyed our stay at Renee's! The camper is cozy and had everything we needed to cook a couple dinners and breakfast meals there. We slept comfortably and enjoyed the outdoor shower, a campfire, and some time in our hammock. Renee helped us pick a trail that would work for us and steered us to Brigham Fish Market where we had the best salmon chowder.

Gorge Glamping in Style!
We spent the day in Portland and though we didn’t want to leave the city, we were super stoked to go to our hipcamp site for the night, Vintage Glamping in the Gorge. Why? Because Matilda. Matilda is the 1963 Aristocrat Trailer that was waiting for us just 40 minutes outside of the city. The drive was an easy one and a beautiful one. We had several spectacular views of Mount Hood as well as some (gorge)-ous … pun intended … views of the river below. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our host, Jeremy, who lives in the main house with the other host, Renee. He was really friendly and gave us a quick tour of the camper, made sure the stove was good-to-go (it was) and that the heater was turned on (yay!) He also showed us where the indoor bathroom and sink were and then told us that if we needed anything to just let him know. Matilda is cozy and quaint and after living in our 4Runner for the last several weeks, she felt like a mansion. As promised, the couch pulls out into a double-sized bed. (The hosts provide a light sleeping bag as well as two towels and a crocheted throw to go on top of the sleeping area but no sheets or pillows.) We brought our own sleeping bag into the camper and were glad for it’s 20 degree rating because we ended up having to choose between the heater or darkness (the portable heater gives off a lot of light). There’s also an additional sleeping space in the camper so you could potentially fit another person in there. The trailer is very conveniently parked to the backdoor of the house which gives you access to a private toilet. We made mac and cheese on the range inside the trailer and called it an early evening of books and story-telling and slept peacefully through the night. In the morning, we made some of the coffee that was left for us in the french press and then rolled on out. We recommend this place if you enjoy smaller spaces, love all things vintage and want a site that is within close proximity to all that Portland has to offer.

Not sure what the best part of our stay was :: the amazing Matilda or amazing hosts Renee & Jeremy or the property itself. What a treasure nestled in the Gorge. Delicious blackberries everywhere, exquisite eggs from their hens, divine spring water and all the other elements required for a much-needed respite from the city. Renee even hung a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" banner inside Matilda in honor of my daughter's matriculation to teenagerdom. We had intended to cruise around the Gorge (Renee is a professional expert on the Gorge) during our visit but we felt so at home there that we decided to just stick around until our reservation ended and to stay any longer would have been tantamount to trespassing. Thanks so much for a fantastic few days of peace and pleasure!

WOW!! Honestly, staying here MADE our trip to Portland and this is as side from the fact that Renee and Jeremy are such incredible people and gracious hosts. The property itself is beautiful. Perfect to cocoon yourself in nature and peaceful surrounds. "Matilta" is clean comfortable, contains everything you need and has the most wonderful and funky decor. The farm fresh eggs in the morning and spring fed ponds trickling at night take this from just a weekend away, to something you'll never forget, Grab yourself a local growler and enjoy it on your own private porch, with a view of the Oregon mountains and if your lucky a deer and her two fawns.
