Our large family really enjoyed staying here for a nearly a week. The house is filled with light, everything is brand-new and squeaky-clean – light wood everywhere, tasteful modern furniture and appliances. This is a great place! We particularly enjoyed the large dining room table which had room for everyone. After dinner we retreated into the cozy corner around the fire place for board games. There was ample room for everybody. Our kids loved their private room upstairs, and of course the hot tub was a hit. We adults enjoyed the view over the valley from the hot tub after tough hikes too.
Every evening, incredibly tame deer stopped by the house, coinciding with the sun slowly setting. Idyllic. Although not truly isolated (there are some house and farms nearby), the house offers great privacy and a really nice view down the valley. The nearby country road has some traffic but this did not bother us at all. The only drawback were the less-than-welcoming neighbors. One of the farms further down in the valley has horses grazing out every night. Of course, our kids wanted to venture down there to see them up close. Although there are no fences demarcating property lines in the valley, our kids were admonished by the next-door neighbors to stay away and not cross their property. Of course, this is fully within their rights; yet, it still saddened us and the kids.
The house is close to the trail heads of several hikes in the Lake Wenatchee area, very close to the lake where you can find horseback riding, kayaking and paddle boarding, all of which our kids loved. Come with groceries if you plan to stay longer because you will have to travel to the Leavenworth Safeway otherwise (not a biggie, but takes time away from being in nature). In short, a perfect family vacation home in a beautiful area!
