Cozy inside, and we could hear the sound of the Skykomish River all night and day long. It rained the whole time, and we were happy as clams, reading, singing, eating and walking in the woods. A real retreat for us. A very nourishing stay. stay after

Weekend getaway
Overall the view, the yard and hot tub made up for the little things. We spent most our weekend out on the deck and noticed it needs some TLC. Our 1 year old got splinters and scraped up and the board right when your about to enter the house is broken. We were really disappointed that the path down to the river is overgrown and you have to crawl over branches. There is ac in the main house in bedroom which was nice. But unfortunately there were spiders everywhere inside and dead bugs and cobwebs in both main house and other little cabin. The blinds were missing on some of the windows and one set of blinds fell on my head when I was trying to lower them. We felt like the cleaning was mediocre at best. The rug in the living room smelt of urine. This place wasn’t the best but wasn’t the worst just needs some extra love and a good deep clean.

Cozy Jaybird
Great view, hot tub and facilities in general. Both cabins are great. The only negative that we could come up with is that the blinds need replacing, at least in the main cabin; some of them are bound up or broken, and you'd hate to miss any of that view!

Relaxing River View
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at JayBird Retreat. The proximity to the river, views of the cascade range from the balcony, perfect hot tub scenery, all made this so relaxing. This house might be small, but it’s cozy for a couple looking to escape the city. We had everything we needed.

4 of us stayed at the cabin for a long weekend and it was a great spot! The main cabin is nice for hanging out and relaxing with a gorgeous view of the river. The kitchen is incredibly well supplied and made preparing meals easy. The beds are comfortable and everything was very clean and cozy.

Moonrise Cabin
My mother and I had a lovely stay at this little cabin on the river in Gold Bar. We saw the bright colors of fall foliage, the sunrise over the foothills and reflect off the river, a full moon rise, and after a hard rain with whipping winds—a rainbow break out from the after rain mist. We were fortunate to see 3 bald eagles among other impressive birds. The deck sits right above a bluff. The river isn’t easily accessible but the view is amazing. The sound of the river is amazing. I kinda wish they had screens on the door or window so I could open the door and let the sound burst in. The house is relatively quiet all closed up, which is probably a benefit for those who need that. The house itself is small and clean and cute. The livingroom has a futon like couch that folds down for extra company (but doesn’t necessarily make for comfy seating-probably my only complaint). My mom slept in the main house and I slept in the studio. The studio is super comfy and with the little kitchenette one can make morning coffee and go back to bed. Internet is strong in the studio too. There’s a full bathroom (shower) too for a nice separation. The main house has a small but well equipped kitchen. Hopefully they’ve replaced the can opener:) They have a small microwave so if you’re looking to heat up full-sized meals that probably won’t work. But the stove and oven are great. Made homemade pizza one night and a pasta dish the next night. It’s just an easy place to be. The property management company was terrific! They accommodated us when we had a scheduling emergency (I’m sure they can’t accommodate all the time but they could and did). I highly recommend this place for small families, couples, small groups.

Excellent getaway!
Small but very comfortable and well-equipped cabins. Both have been well taken care of and the main cabin has nice furnishings and is very clean/fresh despite being dog friendly. Spacious deck with glorious view and also nice native landscaping with lots of little tables, chairs, benches, etc. provide for very nice outdoor space. Well-stocked with TP, paper towel, dishwasher soap and hand soap, trash bags, towels, etc. which was appreciated and we were also pleased to have recycling available. It is in a somewhat dumpy neighborhood, but the property itself feels like a private little piece of heaven and the houses on either side are well-kept. No river access from property, but there is a nice trail to Big Eddy Park. Overall, the four of us had a very, very nice time and the two-cabin set-up worked great for our group.

Lovely overlook from the deck is the best part of this cabin, but the relaxing hot tub is a close second. In a quiet neighborhood with epic views of the local mountains and riverside flora and fauna.

Great cabin
We had a really great time staying at this cute cozy cabin (with the additional smaller cabin on the property). The river views are amazing and you can see mountains in the distance as well (though weather was a little hazy so couldn't always see them). Everything was clean, inside had everything you could need, kitchen well-stocked, close access to hiking trails, lakes and more--thanks again!

Cabin was generally nice, view great, cabin could use some upkeep (paint chipping) but was clean. No borders between houses and you have a neighbor next door for those that have dogs- they can easily run into the neighbors yard. Neighborhood was a bit sketchy
