Accommodations were excellent. House was very clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies. Kids thoroughly enjoyed the game room, as well as, the large private bedroom above the garage where they could hang. Cons: Some type of shading while sitting on the patio would have been nice. There is only an umbrella for shading attached to the patio dining set. Also, some guests had an issue with hot water for showers. Otherwise, our stay was fantastic. Would definitely stay there again.

We had a great stay over the 4th of July holiday! We were a group of 6 adults and 8 kids and there was plenty of space for all without feeling crowded. The kids really loved the upstairs bunk room, garage game room and exploring the property and surrounding area. The kitchen was clean and well stocked with items for cooking. The living room had an extra large sectional plus a couple other seating options that easily accommodated our large group. There was no burn ban when we stayed so we were able to have a fire in the outdoor fire pit and the kids all loved roasting marshmallows. There was a large grass area out back for the kids to play baseball and football. They also loved riding bikes around the house and the surrounding road. The hot tub was also a big hit!

A great stay for large families/ gatherings.

Beautiful home, very quiet neighborhood. Large open concept layout that was great for hosting our friends and family weekend. We would absolutely recommend this home and would love to stay here again. Lots of games as well which was nice! Fire pit out back (under snow but worth uncovering!)

It is such a fantastic location for privacy and relaxation away from city life. It was close to Cle Elum Lake and river, which we really enjoyed. It is also close to the towns of Ronald, Roslyn, and Cle Elum which were just minutes away if anything was needed. However, we did spend most of our time at the residence. The game room, fire table, and hot tub were enjoyed by all. Not to mention the board games and others that are stocked there. I would recommend this location to anyone with a family group.

Winter wonderland trip

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house had enough space for my entire party. We had a total of 12 adults and 6 children. Property was located in a great location if you intend to rent snowmobiles and take them up to the mountains because there are trails that take you up. The house was equipped with everything you need for cooking. The only 2 thing negatives were that they are cameras facing the hot tub which was a little weird. And then working with the actual property management. James, however was great to work with. Everyone else would always have to get back to me. I called to ask for an early check-in because some folks from my party didn’t want to drive up in the dark. They gave me mixed answers about the request and finally told me that they could not accommodate an early check-in 30 minutes until I actually had to check in which was a little annoying.
