We booked this place as a retreat ...from fireworks for our dog and a needed reprieve from the responsibilities of my MILs care...and it fit the need perfectly. Spacious, the Projector TV fun, the bed conmfortable, the amenities all filled.The local hikes, the nearby River and access to Snowqualmie and North Bend made it the perfect retreat .
My husband and I stayed here for a quick one night overnighter for a marathon I was running. The place was wonderful. We were able to bring one of our dogs with us and let her walk off-leash while we wandered the area. The living space was very large, clean, and beautifully decorated. The hosts were easy to get hold of and pleasant to chat with. The property was situated in a secluded, quiet area that was very peaceful, yet still within a quick drive to town. The host was very accommodating to my request of a late check out due to needing a shower after my marathon. I really appreciated their flexibility and kindness in this regard. We had a great albeit short experience at this property. I'd definitely stay here again if we were in the area. It was a very pleasant stay, and the price was comparable or better than most of the hotels within 30 minutes of the town.
The place was large and really nice! The dog may have been a little loud upstairs, but it didnât detract from the stay. Fire pit was lovely, the kitchen was supplied, and the bed was comfortable! Lovely spot!
It's a great property, totally private and peaceful location. The hosts are very responsive and helpful. This is our second. Stay about 4 years apart and the location and property has restrained it's attractiveness.
The property was nice, just what we needed. Visiting family in the area for Christmas...loved that we could return to our own accomodations each night.
As we drive through the woods we came upon a beautiful home surrounded by trees and an open view of the sky and mount Si we then followed stones to our hideaway and a private patio the apartment was spacious and full of amenities we sat out front by a fire pit as the evening came on
Very quiet. A little difficult to find at first. Did not care for the wall projector TV system. Not real clear and not too easy to figure out. Would have preferred a regular TV with better picture and sound.
We chose this place as it is advertised as a quiet getaway. Far from it. From day one there was a lot of noise, scraping, stomping, even loud piano banging throughout the day and into the evenings.
Also, the place is dog friendly, but the host fails to mention they have a large dog that freely roams the property. This dog surprised me and my dog, following my leashed dog all the way back to our entrance, and glaring at us through the door.
When I brought these concerns to the host, first they did not respond. Then they waved off my concerns, stating others donât mind their dog or noises so neither should I. But when you read the guest book at the villa, you will see other remarks such as mine.
While the place is clean, the concrete floor and run down appearance and unmaintained driveway, made me realize why the rate is priced below average.
I do not recommend this property if you are looking for a quite vacation spot.
This home is located in a very private area surrounded by forest. Everything about our stay was perfect. The hosts were wonderful and we really enjoyed visiting with them. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. The ping pong table was a plus! This home is beautiful and the location is perfect. It was just a few miles from Twin Falls which is a beautiful hike to a gorgeous water fall! I highly recommend this place!
The apartment is well-supplied and pleasantly furnished. The heating system is very slow-acting. Fortunately they supply a plug-in electric heater to heat up the bedroom (or wherever you are) more quickly. Even though it feels so remote, it's not a long drive to North Bend or Snoqualmie Falls. We enjoyed visiting both
Stayed in mid-September for Tunnel Race Marathon which was coinvent for the finish area. Even though rooms are on lower (basement) level, it was warm and fan was not enough with European type bedding. Previous reviews had mentioned no air-conditioning. We were able to get an extra sheet instead of the duvet on the second night. Communication was good once established.
Stayed here for our wedding weekend. Hosts were very welcoming, and the place is really cool, lots of space and nice and quiet in the mountains. Our wedding was twin peaks themed, and it was nice to see so many North Bend and Twin Peaks decorations too!
Overall the property was really nice. It was close to North Bend but far enough away that you really felt that it was a "getaway". We enjoyed spending some evenings on the patio after we'd explored the surrounding areas during the day.
However, we did find some things that were less than ideal. Right when we walked in we were hit with a strong smell of dog and the bathroom itself smelled weird the entire time. I have no idea what it was but it didn't go away with multiple flushes to the toilet, so it wasn't that.
Luckily it wasn't too hot during our stay because it didn't have AC, just a tower fan in the bedroom despite the property itself having a large Trane HVAC system that was running right outside the bedroom window. It would have been really uncomfortable if it had been any hotter. I'm sure the heated floors are nice in the winter though.
The owners mention that if the water hasn't been run in a few days to let it run 5-10 minutes to heat up, we ran the shower for well over a half hour and still took less than luke warm showers. Finally on our last day we had hot water in the shower.
We really liked the set up of the place but definitely found it to be a little less than what we were expecting based on pictures and reviews.
Secluded, large walkout basement property offering a panorama view of the forest. It was fun place for us and our grandkids that lived nearby. Large screen
(10' x 6') projector television was mildly complicated, but was very enjoyable.
Everone loved the ping pong table.
