Escape the crowds in this beautiful retreat nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range. Watch the roaring Middle Fork River while you relax in this cabin next to a small waterfall.
This is where you go to decompress... to focus... to connect with the most important people in your life. This is *not* where you go when you need a place to stay; this is where you go when you need a place to *be*. Minutes from the best hiking or Biking spots in Snoqualmie Valley and Snoqualmie Falls.
The space
This amazing spot on the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River is your gateway to incredible outdoor activities like hiking, biking, skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, climbing, and escaping. Relax and enjoy sit-down views of the river and waterfall from the comfort of the bed or couch.
It is an ideal location for those wanting a convenient getaway to one of the most stunning natural landscapes, anywhere. It is a place to recharge, focus, meditate, or spend time with somebody special and it's only 30 minutes from downtown Seattle.
Rustic on the outside, and contemporary on the inside--this 450 square foot studio-guesthouse resides next to the Snoqualmie National Forest on the banks of the nationally protected Wild and Scenic segment of the Snoqualmie River.
There is truly no place on earth like this.

Other things to note
TRAVEL INSURANCE - In an effort to keep rates reasonable and maximize calendar availability for serious travelers, we have adopted a strict cancellation policy. If you believe there is a chance you'll need to cancel your reservation after booking, please purchase the optional travel insurance from Airbnb or a third-party provider. Exceptions to the cancellation policy are unavailable.
INTERNET - This home has low-speed broadband which is suitable for streaming video and basic web/email use, but it is not suitable for remote work.
RISKS FOR THOSE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES - This property contains undulating terrain, steps /elevations without railings or guards, bathrooms without safety railings, and other mobility hazards. Children, the elderly, and those with mobility issues or concerns are advised to refrain from booking the home without consulting the host to ensure that these hazards will not present an issue during your stay.
CELLULAR COVERAGE - Due to our location in the mountains, cellular coverage can be limited or non-existent. Some visitors report having a bar or two of coverage, while others have reported intermittent to no-service. Please ensure that your smartphone is configured for WiFi calling, then join the WiFi network as soon as you arrive to ensure that you have phone service.
PARKING - If you will be brining multiple cars, the house manual has information on where to park your second car to ensure that it does not block the driveway. Please do not park 2 cars in the driveway as it will create an access issue for guests staying at the adjacent home.
RIVER ACCESS - Due to the high-bank, there is no access to the river's edge from the property, but guests wanting to spend time in the river have beach access options down the road. See the house manual for additional details.
PETS - We don't host pets. We love dogs but have guests how are sensitive to hair and odors (allergies aside) so we've tried to maintain those conditions for them. Thank you for your understanding.
CHILDREN - This home was specifically furnished and equipped to host adults. While we do not prohibit children, please note that the property, amenities, and the proximity to the river make this property an unlikely choice for families traveling with children.
ROAD CONDITIONS - You will NOT need an all-wheel drive vehicle to reach this property (unless the entire region is hit by a rare snow storm). The roads are paved all the way to the driveway.
EARLY CHECK-INS / LATE CHECKOUTS - Early check-ins and late checkouts are unavailable. We apologize but our cleaning staff cannot predictably accommodate extended stays. If you must arrive earlier or stay later than the prescribed check-in/out times, consider booking an additional day if available. Thank you for your understanding.
FISHING - You can fish the river but need a license (see Wa State Dept of Fish & Wildlife website for more information)
KAYAKING - You can kayak the river, but it is a Class 3+ and best left to experts. Kayaks and tubes are not provided, but local options for these activities are included in the house-manual which you'll receive upon booking. ***OR*** You cannot kayak the river due to the adjacent waterfall but local options for these activities are included in the house-manual which you'll receive upon booking.
KITCHEN AMENITIES - There is no cooktop or traditional oven in the home due to the home's size (there would be no way to get the smell of cooked fish out of the furniture and bed between turnovers) but a microwave, toaster-oven, and propane BBQ (propane included) are all available for your use. You will also receive a curated list of restaurants in the area in the house-manual which you'll receive upon booking.
FIRE PIT - The shared fire-pit is available for your use but wood is not provided (though sometimes it is left by a prior guest so feel free to use, if that's the case). A lighter is usually provided and is stored in the kitchen drawer but these are often stolen and the absence is sometimes overlooked by the cleaning staff. Please check the King County Washington website to determine if a burn ban is in effect.
CLEANING PRODUCTS - We sparingly use scented laundry soap, but do not use fabric softeners, home air-fresheners, or pesticides around the property.
POWER OUTAGES - Power outages can occur during the winter months. Though rare, it does happen when trees fall (which are in great quantity in this area). If this happens during your stay, you can wait for the power to be restored (usually within a few hours) or message your host and checkout. The unused portion of your stay can be refunded by contacting Airbnb.
SHARED PROPERTY - Two Airbnb’s reside on this property. Each is a separate, free-standing home with dedicated parking. No part of this home is shared with other guests or your host. The only shared resource on this property is the fire-pit. See listing photos for additional information on the property layout.
