Excellent rental with thoughtful touches throughout, including radiant heating in the bathroom tiles. Amazing mountain and river views from the comfort of the luxurious hot tub. Well appointed kitchen, great entertainment system and cozy accoutrements throughout.
It was smaller than the pictures made it seemed and the master bathroom was super tiny but we enjoyed ourselves a lot. Love the house and backyard. Super clean and very cute.
Our family really enjoyed our stay at the river house , great view , great house , awesome hot tub , good neighborhood , close to some great hikes within driving distance , great fire pit- thanks for the refreshing family time together !
Had a great stay over new years with a small group of friends. The property is well maintained and has a nice backyard with a view of the river and mountains...
We love this place! The house has everything you need to be comfortable inside, plus the amazing river and scenery outside. Scott was a great host—checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!
Exactly as advertised. Clean and well set up for families

Loved waking up to mountain and river view, loved that the backyard was set up to relax and enjoy for everyone. The adults were able to relax in the hot tub and could keep an eye on the kids making s'mores at the fire pit. The host was amazing at communicating before, during, and even sent a nice "thank you" after. Would definitely stay again, next time we're in the area
Great location right on the river. I stayed here while working out of town for the week. The accomodations were great. The house was well-stocked. And the hot tub was the perfect way to relax after a long work day.
The property is located in a quiet neighborhood. The interior is cutely decorated and clean. The backyard is spacious and has an absolutely incredible view of the nearby river and mountains. You can catch the view from the living room, from one of the seats in the backyard, or from the hot tub. My friends and I had a lovely and relaxing weekend. We would recommend the property to anyone.
Perfect Family Base for Wedding @Wallace Falls Lodge
This was a comfortable home surrounded by the beautiful environment. It was a fabulous base for our family of 3 generations. Easy day trip to Leavenworth, quick access to local hikes, property made ease of dinner outside where the whole family could also comfortably play yard games and listen/watch the river.
I wanted a short getaway with my son's and this was a beautiful spot, clean quiet home and neighborhood. We even had front row seats for the Aurora Borealis!! The beds were surprisingly comfortable, The furniture and decorations were very cute. Overall this was a wonderful location to spend a few relaxing days.
We were in Gold Bar for a family wedding held nearby and the Little River House was the perfect spot for us. We enjoyed all the amenities of the house and the beautiful view looking out over the river. Magical!
Thanks Little River House and Scott!
I chose this rental primarily for two reasons - the fabulous view and the large table for playing games. The house is very well equipped. Kitchen has a lot of supplies, some spices and coffee supplies, NICE plates and glasses, etc. They have towels handy by the patio door for hot tub users.Scott is, hands down, the most responsive VRBO host I've ever had. He was proactive, checking how we were doing on the first day. He responded quickly to texts.The main down side for us was the cramped bathrooms. But you don't spend much time there. All the other rooms felt quite spacious.
This was my second time staying here and it was a wonderful as i remembered. You really have the place well stocked. We enjoyed the yard with the sound of the river and the view. The house is so comfortable and we did not want for anything. I will recommend this place to friends for a relaxing stay.
