---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We welcome you to book a stay at our home in the Pacific Northwest just a few miles outside the town of North Bend, Washington. We are nestled in the foothills of the Cascade mountains and perched atop the bank of the South Fork of the Snoqualmie river.

The main home is a 2-story, 2 bedroom, 1 ½ bath, 1,040 sq ft. There is also a single-room, detached cottage allowing for a third bedroom and a very pleasant and private place to sleep. A maximum of 4 guests are allowed given that the home is limited in space. Please book another home for your stay if your party exceeds 4 guests.

The 700 sq ft deck is a nice extension of .your living space where you’ll likely spend a good portion of your time – especially when the weather is nice. And if it rains, there are some covered options as well.

Both bedrooms in the main house are on the second floor, including the full bathroom. The primary bedroom (riverside) has a King-sized bed. The secondary bedroom (backyard side) has a Queen-sized bed.

Each of these two bedrooms has a dresser, closet, end tables, and is equipped with a Samsung 4K Smart TV; and a RokuTV streaming device with countless hours of free movies and shows to watch. One bedroom has a Blu-ray disc player that can be used in either bedroom. There is no cable TV service or a landline phone.

The recently remodeled main bathroom with a tub/shower combo is situated in between both bedrooms.

The living room/dining area is more of a combined space. The living room has an over-sized loveseat and a big chair. So, seating in this area is limited to 3-4 people. There is a Samsung 4K Smart TV and soundbar, RokuTV streaming device, and a Blu-ray player. The dining table offers additional seating for socializing and watching TV and is also expandable from both ends and will easily seat 6 guests. Weather permitting, you may opt to enjoy most meals out on the deck at the picnic table.

There is a small 1/2 bathroom on the main floor with a toilet and sink.

The detached cottage is called the Waterfront Branch Office or “WBO”. This one-roomed space has a Full XL-sized bed (same length as a Queen, but narrower by 6 inches) which overlooks the campfire area and river. There is electricity and a free-standing heater, but there isn’t a bathroom, sink, or closet. The good news is, the WBO is steps away from the front door of the main house. There is a desk, chair, computer monitor, docking connection, and a wireless mouse and keyboard. So, bring your laptop if you feel the need to get some work done during your stay.

The kitchen is stocked with most everything you’ll need (aside from food items). Some provisional items are included, such as coffee, hot chocolate, hot cider, cooking oils, and a wide variety of spices and seasonings. There is a matching Samsung refrigerator, oven, microwave and dishwasher.

The laundry room is more of a laundry “closet”, but here you’ll find a full-sized Samsung washer and dryer, and some additional items for your stay.

The hot tub overlooks the river and is only intended for one person to enjoy some “me-time” by yourself. With that said, it may be possible to uncomfortably fit two people.

Also on the deck, there is a propane gas fire table with seating and a large rustic picnic table. A free-standing propane heater is there for those chilly days or nights when you are intent on being outside in nature.

There is a big campfire pit and plenty of space for seating. An abundance of firewood is provided, so no need to pick any up on your way. Please note that there are often fire bans during the hot summer months which must be respected. However, the propane gas fire table is a suitable alternative.

The home is very dog-friendly and has a large fenced yard on the non-river side of the house. Of course, you’ll need to close and secure the entrance gates. Note that one short section is a little over 4 ft high; which isn’t ideal for dogs who tend to climb or jump. There is an additional fenced area (6 ft high) with doggy-door access from inside the home.

There are steps down to the river – just follow the sign! Keep in mind that the river flow can change drastically. In the Fall and Winter months, depending on the amount of rain or snow melt, the river can be raging all the way across. It’s actually a very cool sight to see and experience. But most of the time of year, you just need to cross a shallow spring-fed creek to get to the “River Island”. Be careful when stepping across; the rocks can be slippery. Though you may not catch many lunkers, bring your flyrod and spend the day fishing up and down the shoreline for cutthroat and rainbow trout. Unfortunately, the Winter windstorms of 2022 blew down the trees on our share of the island, so it will look somewhat different than in the photos that were taken a few months earlier.

A relaxing hammock usually overhangs the river under a large Maple tree, but this is more of a summertime luxury. An afternoon snooze on a warm day is highly recommended.

You can't go wrong by either starting or ending your day with a walk up the Twin Falls trail. The trailhead is just a 3-minute walk away. The hike to the waterfalls takes about 45 minutes with the option to go much further up the trail if you'd like. There are endless miles of other trails within a short drive, as North Bend and the Snoqualmie Valley is where many who live in Greater Seattle and elsewhere come to play.

Please understand that the home isn't completely isolated away from the rest of the world. There are other homes all along the river. There are nice neighbors on each side of the property and you can also see a couple of homes across the river.

Seasonal Alert!: During the Fall and Winter months, the 1/2 mile private road leading to the house degrades due to snow and rain. Parts of the road will likely have potholes making for a somewhat bumpy ride that time of the year until the road is maintained.

Other than that, please reach out to us with any questions, unique sand/or inquiries and we’ll be happy to respond. Thank you for your interest!
