Rainbow House: North Cascades Skagit River Retreat

World-class fishing (or just watch the salmon run!) at the confluence of the Skagit and Cascade Rivers and top-rated hiking in the North Cascades, near many trailheads including spectacularly beautiful Cascade Pass and Hidden Lake/Lookout.

Chalet comfortably hosts two to six adults in two large bedrooms (master suite and loft) plus a sofa bed in the great room. An additional bunk bed nook for two persons each under 150 pounds (kids, assumedly) brings the total to eight.

Complete kitchen and laundry access, within walking distance of Marblemount for dining and shopping.

Lovely Property
This is a beautiful property and a great location for exploring North Cascades NP and the surrounding area. The pride of ownership shines through from initial reservation to final departure. The owner provided very detailed and clear information prior to check in. The property was very clean, well maintained and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and no detail was overlooked. The beds were comfy and the area is very peaceful and quiet. There are a few good restaurants very close by. We would definitely stay here again.

Week in North Cascades
This cabin was the perfect spot to enjoy the North Cascades area from. Cabin was very well stocked with everything you would need to cook with, beds were comfortable and the downstairs shower was amazing. We were even lucky enough to get an amazing view of the Northern lights several nights.

Located close to everything, but far enough to feel like you are in your own private mountain get-away. Wonderfully kept home with everything needed and an incredibly responsive owner. Views of the mountains, and proximity to the river, North Cascades National Park and town were perfect.

Tranquility
Quiet, clean, well-maintained property with a caring host. We were a large group visiting the Cascades, so we booked the Rainbow House and the Private Annex (see separate review) together. The Rainbow house is beautiful. Room to spread out but easy to spend time together. The kitchen is well stocked with all of the equipment needed to make family meals. It is close to good hiking trails It’s also an easy walk to town where we found good restaurants, a coffee house, and a small grocery store. Perfect!

Absolutely amazing!
We loved our stay at rainbow house and fell in love with the area. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The scenery surrounding the house made relaxing on the porch even more enjoyable. Not far from the park, river, or local stores and restaurants. The house was extremely well stocked and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Steve was responsive and helpful. You won’t regret renting this place. We hope to be back!

Lovely, well-appointed home for our family of four. Close to North Cascades and perfect for resting after a long day of hiking. We stayed in four VRBOs on our trip to Washington national parks and this was easily the best. Highly recommend. Would stay again.

Amazing Stay at The Rainbow House
Our family had a wonderful stay at this property! It's location is fabulous for exploring the North Cadcades and Mt. Baker area. There are some cute little restaurants in town, and the views from the property were fantastic. Everything in the house was exactly as described. Would highly recommend this property to people looking to explore the beauty of this region!

Luxury Mountain Retreat
My wife and I enjoy finding off-the-beaten-path places to stay when we are hiking the National Parks and on vacation. The Rainbow House certainly fits the bill and more! Although there is a main road out front, you don't hear cars and have a house on five acres all to yourself! Not to mention being surrounded by a 360 mountain view! Access to NP trailheads and the Visitor Center are close by. We spend our day hiking and meeting with people, so to have a place to call your own is right for us! The Rainbow House is perfect for families and it was a luxury space for the two of us! The owners have thought of everything and if it is not in this house, you don't need it! Communication with Steve is excellent and the cleanliness of the house is impeccable! There are not a lot of rentals in this area, so if you are considering visiting this area, book it!

Closest to Cascades NP!
Our family of 6 loved our stay here! It was inspiringly beautiful and conveniently close to Cascades NP. Thankfully it wasn't too hot as without AC the four beds in the loft might have been a bit warm at night without AC. The only other feedback is that the water pressure was low (couldn't shower when dishwasher was running, etc.) but Steve was very responsive to us and he had great suggestions on what to do in the area. We definitely recommend staying here when you're in the area.

Wonderful house and location
We loved our stay! The location was perfect for us- close to the entrance to North Cascades National Park where we wanted to explore, and very close to the little town of Marblemount to grab dinner and conveniences. The cabin is in a beautiful setting, in the field surrounded by mountains. It had everything we needed, from a well stocked kitchen to plenty of space and thoughtful extras like provided dish soap, shampoo and body wash. Communication was smooth and prompt. Highly recommend!

Beautiful house close to North Cascades NP
This property is even better than the pictures. Being on the Marblemount side of the park (instead of Winthrop) it is quite tranquil and really close to the Newhalen visitor center (20 mins give or take). Marblemount has a couple of gas stations with mini-markets and a few restaurants, Concrete (about 20 mins) has more choices and a grocery market. Overall, excellent choice for enjoying the park.
