River's Edge radiates a cabin feel, yet has all the necessities of home. Rustic decor including clocks, radios & snow gear reminds you that time almost stands still here, but AppleTV and HomePods remind you to stay in the present. The river, just off the deck, drowns out any distractions from your relaxation.

Neighborhood:
This is a quiet neighborhood w/ very only a few houses. Outside the neighborhood is where all the magic happens. Check the Guidebook below for Must See, Do & Eat's. If you get rained out, chill my homey brethren. River's Edge has your back with that 24/7 lazy-day-feels setup. Translation: It's Comfortable AF.
Der Baring Store is a walk down the road & Index General Store is a short drive for most necessities. Gold Bar and Skykomish are each about 10 min away with more food options. Close proximity to Stevens Pass for skiing, mt biking, hiking, getting more food, or just hanging out, people watching.

Amenities:
Wi-Fi
Apple TV with Netflix
Gaming units
Kitchen with all the tools need to make a Thanksgiving dinner.
Pantry has basic items.
Fishing in the river, off the back of the property, BYO Gear.
Stevens Pass Ski resort within 25 minutes.
Hiking and backpacking trails in every direction.

House Rules:
No smoking indoors
Check-in is anytime after 4PM
Check out by 11AM
Self check-in with smart lock
If you want to have a SMALL outdoor fire in the pit, plan on bringing wood. There is not a supply at the house. Do not pull wood from nearby properties.

The space:
The "neighborhood" has very low traffic and property is mostly very-private. Access to the river allows for fishing and splashing around during certain times of the year.

Guest access:
You can take a stroll through the quiet neighborhood surrounded by forest and wetlands. Or you can meander down to the river and have your go at skipping rocks or pulling a steelhead out with a rod. Sheds and small cabin are currently off limits. For safety sake and to prevent from further erosion, the river should not be accessed from directly in front of house.

Interaction with guests:
I will be a phone call, text or email away. I know what it's like to be bothered on a vacation and I know what it's like to need something in a pinch. I will be available when you need to help alleviate all stresses you came here to avoid.

You must also acknowledge:
Must climb stairs - Three stairs on the porch and deck, 15 stairs to the loft/master bedroom
Potential for noise - Trains. All day about one every two hours. Maybe one at night. It's pretty faint and wakes light sleepers. Bring ear plugs if you need.
Amenity limitations - You're in the mountains with variable weather. This area is prone to power outages. Gas fire & BBQ provide heat & food when power is out.
SURVEILLANCE devices on property - Ring camera to monitor driveway/porch for guest count and departure time. There is no hot tub :(
There's a private balcony or patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A Smart television with Netflix is provided, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Pamper yourself with onsite massages or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

River Cabin
Cabin is personal, warm and cozy—everything you’d want for a mountain stay. We had 2 couples and a child, plus 3 more extended family visiting on and off. Plenty of room for everyone with an extremely spacious upper loft master suite/bath, 2 downstairs bedrooms and large dining table and bar counter seating. Kitchen was well stocked including a crockpot, and we welcomed in the New Year with a hardy meal of beans and greens (as close as we could get to Black-Eyed peas) But by far the most impressive feature was the back deck right on the edge of the river. Wow. Mesmerizing. We even sat out by the fire pit in 30 degree dripping weather, listening to the river. A very special place which we hope to visit again soon.

Cozy and beautiful river getaway
A really remarkable property. Perhaps the most amazing feature is spending time on the deck with the view of the river with absolutely no sign of man-made civilization in view at all. It's beautiful and peaceful and a true 'get away'. The cabin is great and well suited to families, or two / maybe three couples. The upstairs area is not closed off, so perhaps the early risers or the heavy sleepers should be upstairs. This was a great spot to do day hikes nearby and would be fantastic for skiers. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was soft. The kitchen is well equipped for putting meals together. We stayed there right after a heavy rain and flash flood warnings--the river was running fast but the cabin is quite a bit above the water so there was nothing concerning. The sound of the river was delightful. The path down to the water is a little steep for people with mobility issues. We'd happily return! Would love to see it in the snow.

Lovely spot. Quiet and relaxing. Clean and cozy cabin. Brendan (host) very responsive and helpful. We had sun, rain, sleet and snow! Amazing to watch the changes over the mountains . The small towns surrounding the area, trails, eateries make this a perfect get away location.

So so stay
My friends and I had a good time together during our stay but several things about the cabin were very disappointing. No running water when we arrived...had to have instructions on how to turn it on. The water stopped working the second day we were there....but came on after a while. Touchy fireplace controls, the switch to shut off the ceiling fan didnt work. The owner was very accessible but he couldnt help with some of the problems. It was still a relaxing place to stay with the sounds of the river and we spent lots of time together, which was the main point. Overall, wouldnt go back to this particular rental.

Picture Perfect River Cabin!
Absolutely the VRBO you are looking for! Classic, clean, and incredibly comfortable. Cabin is perfectly furnished and equipment, probably the best I’ve rented thus far! Check in is super simple and host was easy to reach even though we didn’t need him! Location is just about in the middle of anywhere you’d like to go. Excellent coffee is just a few miles away, with an amazing view! Let’s not forget the friggin’ view!! Had eagle and duck visitors. Took my work meeting outside with the river behind me and made everyone super jealous! Go ahead and rent away!! You’ll love it…plus I can’t be the only one that scoured the property for a trash bin! You’re gonna crack up when you find it!!

Fabulous house!
We stayed at this property to attend our sons wedding. The house was clean and comfortable with all the amenities one could ask for in the mountains away from a town where you have everything at your fingertips. It was wonderful to “unplug”. My only comment is I chose the house so my husband could “walk out the door and fish” and unfortunately at this property, that would never be possible as the bank to the river is unstable and too high to be able to fish from the bank. The water flowing was a most relaxing sound and though fishing was not an option, the house provided everything else we could have wanted! Thank you to the howler for sharing this beautiful home!

There was a group of six of us. The cabin exceeded our expectations in every way. The trail down to the river was the main highlight for us. Great swimming hole and beautiful views. Just watch out for the slippery clay deposit upstream! We hope to return to this cabin in the future.

Paradise
Word can’t describe how perfect this little slice of Heaven is! From the impressive drive into the mountains, directly up the driveway we were immediately greeted by the sound of the river when we open the car doors. Walking into the property we were in awe of how thoughtfully decorated it was. Stepping out on the back porch the views were unbelievable. We enjoyed a great fire at the fire pit and peaceful morning coffee. A stop at the local sound bar is a must if you like beer or wine. The people we met in town were all so friendly and welcoming. The location was perfect for lots of hikes and a short hour drive through the mountains to Leavenworth. My husband and I have never felt more relaxed on vacation. I would highly recommend a stay at Rivers edge to anyone looking for a beautiful setting. The kitchen was fully equipped, and we wanted for nothing. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
