Hot Tub, on River, Fireplace, Mount. Views, Piano, Kitchen, only 5 mins to town

Refuge River Ranch (STR#000376) sits on a 4-acre, beautifully maintained farm with stunning views of Sleeping Lady Mountain, Icicle River, and green pastures. The garden apartment is a completely private rental with its own exterior entries, kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom and living area.

The Ranch is very conveniently located near horseback riding, skiing, hiking trails, biking trails, sledding, sleigh rides, fishing, floating the river, as well as only 5-7 minutes from the heart of the Bavarian Village with shopping, restaurants, carriage rides, and the many festivals!

Inside the spacious 1500 sqft garden apartment, there is plenty of room for a family of four. The master bedroom offers a queen bed, and the second "bedroom"/cozy-nook, just off the kitchen, has bunk beds perfect for children.

Tranquil and peaceful

My husband and I enjoyed a peaceful stay here. It was great to have the river access too so we could bring our paddle boards for a relaxing float down the river. Great location for hiking in the area too. Had everything we needed and our host was really responsive for check in and out.

Beautiful snowy views!

We loved our stay at the ranch rental! It snowed about a foot and a half during our stay and Jodie was so nice to shovel the entry road for us. My toddler loved the bunk bed “fort”, watching the chickens wander around and stomping through the snow in the massive backyard. Taking a dip in the hot tub with stunning snowy mountain views was the highlight for my husband and I. Super convenient and a quick drive to town. Overall a really memorable stay!

Stunning setting and serene snowfall

We felt very welcomed by JodieK and took full advantage of the hot tub as well as the ranch experience tour. We made friends with Duke and Duchess and all the animals. The Saturday snowfall was the icing on the cake of an amazing getaway.

Nice property, plenty of animals

The property and its owner were quite nice and conveniently located. More than I wanted to spend, but with every hotel filled it was a great choice. The animals made the stay. A doe, alpacas, chickens, cat, dog, turkey, and I’m probably missing one. Those are just the animals that dropped by to visit.

This was such a beautiful property and overall peaceful . We will be coming back again soon !

This property was the perfect getaway for my family and I . We enjoyed the scenery and farm tour we had one of our mornings that we stayed . Jodie K was very sweet and went above and beyond for our stay . The farm is so peaceful and the younger children enjoyed it as well . The river front made it easy for us to enjoy the scenery while relaxing while going tubing or going fishing , We will be back just because of JodieK and her hospitatility . Try the farm fresh eggs as well they are delicious .

Beautiful and peaceful property

When we arrived at the property, our car got stuck in the snow. We managed to get a fast tow to help us out. Earlier that day there was a snowfall with no time to clear the long driveway. After that, we loved every minute at the beautiful property. There was ample sleeping arrangements and an excellent host. Jodie was always available if anything was requested. Loved the area!!!

Perfect get away

This was the perfect 3-day vacation for our family. We needed a break from the city and Jodie’s place more than delivered for kids & adults alike. The property is beautiful, getting to see the animals was such a treat, access to the river & hot tub right there to enjoy. The property is well situated for hiking, water activities & visiting the village of Leavenworth. The sheets & towels were so soft. Kids loved the sleeping area off the kitchen too. Would love to return.

Get away from reality..SUPER RELAXING

JodieK made everything the way it sounded. It was great! We were able to relax with the hot tub and we were able to enjoy the sounds of the country. If we needed anything or just some information, she was able to help within minutes. Access to the river, extremely close to the shops. Take advantage while you can and make the trip.

AMAZING experience!

We have yet to have our feet touch the ground since returning... it was that wonderful! The residence was exactly as described and we loved being so close to the river to fish. Lots of privacy to enjoy the hot tub in a 'natural' sort of setting (wink, wink). Exceptionally clean and tidy. JodieK was VERY quick in responding to my texts and calls to answer questions about the property. Stop searching and save your time in just picking this place.

About the host

Hosted by JodieK

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Leavenworth, a true local! Although, we spent sometime away in my young adult life, we came back to raise our kids here. I am a substitute school teacher. We wanted our kids to enjoy growing up in this sweet valley on a farm - like I did. We get to do all the favorite things I did as a child: Float the river, ski, ride our horses, hike and enjoy the many festivities as a family. God has truly blessed us!

Why they chose this property

Refuge River Ranch is a very unique piece of property in that it is 4 acres, on the river, and so close to everything, not to mention the breathtaking mountain VIEWS! It is true horse property with a barn, pastures, riding trails nearby and we even have an adorable chicken cottage. Lots of wildlife passing through the property on their way to the river and the deer like to graze in the pastures.
We hope you will come and let your family experience this wonderful place, relax and drink it all in.
