The stately site on which the Columbia Gorge Hotel now stands was originally developed in 1904 by Bobby Rand, a Hood River pioneer, as the Wah Gwin Gwin Hotel, a Native American name meaning "rushing water" for the 208 feet waterfall on the grounds. During the depression, the Hotel fell on hard times and was purchased by the Neighbors of Woodcraft as a retirement home.
