A gas fireplace for the cold winter nights. 45 minutes from Leavenworth and 20 minutes from Stevens pass to ski. New very comfy beds new wood floors and appliances. Gas grill on the deck with table and chairs that seat 6. View of the river from all windows. House is cool in the summer and toasty warm in the winter with 3 sources of heat. Truly a fun experience.

Great location with beautiful views of the mountains
This property has a fabulous location overlooking the river. The outside deck and hot tub are great. The kitchen is a bit lacking in equipment. There is no electric tea kettle or any kettle to use on the stove. Also, there is no ice maker. The shower door wouldn't close. The sofas are good for young backs, not so much for us elders. We enjoyed the location the most.

much needed rest
perfect oasis just what we wanted. After some lack of knowledge with the propane the owners got us on track. The hummingbirds were our daily and welcome visitors. It was so nice just reading and relaxing on the deck. Thank you J & J for sharing with us. Sultan Bakery is definitely worth multiple visits.

Great relaxing cabin
Ths hot tub by the river was amazing. The neighborhood was super quiet. Walking down to the river to watch the salmon was super cool. The fireplace in the evening was nice and cozy. I loved the clawfoot tub in the loft bedroom. Its unique and cozy but just enough roughing it for me. We watched humming birds every day. It was a great mental reset and a close drive to town if needed. The host was super responsive and helpful if we needed anything and to answer questions about the area. We will stay again.

This house is filthy dirty and smelly
I realize not all houses are perfectly clean but from the moment I walked in the house it smelled Gross. There was hairs in the bathroom sink mold on the shower door the refrigerator handle was held up with duct tape. I opened up the utensil drawer to find rusty utensils and crumbs . The dishes had food crusted on them . I opened up the Refrigeratorto find dirt and hairs in the bottom of the refrigerator and it smells like rancid food.

Very pretty view and relaxing stay
The house is in a great spot in regards to the river. It has neighbors that are very close on both sides of the house. The neighbors are not very neighborly. The view and access to the river are great. House was clean and had the majority of stuff we needed in it. I don't have anything negative to say. My group had a great and memorable time.

Needs cleaning
In a junky neighborhood right on top of neighbors and next to loud highway. Place needs a notebook with instructions for heater, lockbox, fireplace, hot tub, etc. Instead I had to call for instructions and take notes about all these. Not clean. Cobwebs, mice, dirty surfaces, Windows. I pulled out a chair and broom and attacked the worst cobwebs in the Windows, but come on. Nice view of river.

Beautiful location close to Seattle to make a short stay really worth it!
We were really impressed that within a handful of miles we had access to the most magnificent hikes (Lake Serene, Wallace Falls) and then could return to float in the crystal clear waters of the river near the house. We LOVED having our meals outside (no bugs!) and it was a wonderful ending to a pressured week of work in Seattle. Thank you Judy and John!

Beautiful Views, Cozy Cabin
We had a great time at Judy's cabin. The views of the river and mountains were gorgeous, and the home felt very cabin-y. The living area was spacious and warm, the beds were comfortable, and the upstairs toilet was very convenient. It was exactly what our group needed to relax and welcome the New Year. Would absolutely book again.

Very relaxing with great scenery
A great little place with lots of relaxing views, perfect for seeing the cascade loop! Judy, the owner was very responsive to any questions or issues. Hopefully the hot tub will be working properly soon. That will certainly enhance the overall experience. A great week. Thank you!
