With all the seasonal stress in the air, we though we’d give a shout-out to one of Washington’s top places for a peaceful getaway. Skamania Lodge sits tucked away in the Columbia River Gorge, and if you’ve never been, you really don’t know what you’re missing. From relaxing spa treatments to outdoor recreation and fine dining, this place truly has it all.

Skamania Lodge is located in the tiny town of Stevenson near the roaring Columbia River, and it's a little piece of paradise.

The lobby tends to be where many of the events are held, which happen fairly often.
The guest rooms and suites here are impeccable, offering a wide array of amenities to make your stay enjoyable.

That being said, you might not spend much time in your room -- there's just too much to do here.
Adventurers love the zip line tours and aerial park, both of which offer an exhilarating boost of adrenaline.
management / TripAdvisor
The zip line trail is totally guided, and you'll coast through seven zip lines and a few sky bridges. The aerial park consists of 9 platforms and 22 elements of varying degrees of difficulty to test your abilities -- like an obstacle course in the air.
Hikers love the outdoor fitness trail -- and if you'd rather chill out, you can take a yoga class onsite on occasion.

There's also a full indoor fitness center for those days when the weather outside is frightful.

The treehouses are so well-stocked with amenities, it wouldn't be accurate to call them rustic. But there is something perfectly peaceful about sleeping amongst the Douglas Firs.
Of course, if you get hungry, you won't even have to leave the property.
