Colin and Ania are the perfect hosts. I can't believe I'm saying this and please don't tell her, but this house is actually cleaner than my mother's! Comfortable home, comfortable beds and hosts who have literally thought of everything you need to have a wonderful stay! Bonus: Wild turkeys with babies along the river bank!

Toni – It was such a treat hosting you and Soozie! You cared for our home as if it were your own – and maybe even out-cleaned your mom’s 🧼✨ (your words, not ours! 😉). Our cleaning team was floored: spotless rooms, freshly laundered bedding, and towels ready to go. Your great tips (hello, fantastic masseuse!) and enthusiasm for the wildlife, river views, and all things Chalet made hosting you pure joy. Guests like you are why we love opening our doors! Warmest thanks, Colin & Ania

A great stay at the Chalet!

We had an excellent stay at the Chalet, using it as a stopover on our way from Seattle to The Gorge. We spent a day exploring Leavenworth and the area. We also just enjoyed hanging on the deck while listening to the river roll by. Everything was extremely clean and every need had been considered. To describe it as ‘well appointed’ would be an understatement.

Very nice and comfortable

The property was very nice and welcoming. It was well decorated and had a cozy feeling. The kitchen came well stocked with necessities including any spice you could possibly want to use. The hosts were constantly in touch to make sure that are needs were taken care of. Definitely somewhere I would go again. Loved the location and the little town of Plain and going to Plain Winery to relax. It was a wonderful place to celebrate my daughter before she got married in a quiet way.

Magical lounging home

This was the best VRBO experience I've ever had. The home was well-equipped, spotless, comfortable, air-conditioned, welcoming -- you name it! We enjoyed grilling dinner, eating at the nice table outside listening to the river in the shade of the pine trees. We had restful mornings sipping coffee on lounge chairs - swimming in Lake Wenatchee, floating the river, enjoying drives in the hills. Wonderful!!! Thank you!!!!

Incredible Property

This is what VRBO stays should be like! The property is is incredibly well kept, well appointed and it is obvious the owners treat this like their first home. Colin and Ania are amazing hosts, super responsive to any request, and this is a house/cabin that you can just walk into and relax. It has just about everything you will need (kitchen, towels, electronics, etc) to be able to just get away and enjoy. We felt like we were taking a risk booking 9 nights having never seen the property except from the online pictures, but when the time was up, it didn't feel long enough. Highly, highly recommend if you are looking for a place to get away and recharge.

Wonderful

We had an amazing time at this beautiful home. The views were breathtaking. We sat outside in the mornings listening to the Chiwawa River while drinking our coffee. It was so peaceful. The house was beautifully decorated and so cozy. It was clean and had just about every amenity you could think of. Colin made sure to check in throughout in case we needed anything. I would highly recommend staying here and we would love to stay here again. We were about 20 minutes from Leavenworth, which was perfect. There was also a general store close by and the owners were so sweet and gave us good tips and recommendations. The neighbors came over and helped us clear snow. Mind you, there was someone who came to plow, but this was late in the evening when we arrived. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful place with our family!

Cabin on the river

Great little cabin, perfect for our family of 5, 3 kids 5 and under. Great that the deck has retractable gates to keep the littles on the deck contained and give them some place to play safely. Hard to tell from the pics, but the river is about 20ft down, so no direct access from the cabin. Was actually kinda ok for us as it kept the kids from just wanting to run out to the water. There is community river access on the Wenatchee less than 5 min drive which was peaceful and great for us. Kitchen well supplied, just not much space to put the food we brought, but adequate. While cute, a cabin for 6 people doesn't really need 30 state coffee mugs filling a cabinet. Finishes, bedding, towels are all quite nice and left nothing to be desired. We brought a baby gate for the stairs to keep our toddler contained. Had to hide a few decorations to prevent her from getting them. Every time we stay at a VRBO we think it would be nice if the property had some sort of baby/kid protection, even if just outlet covers for the ones not in use, but ultimately that's our prerogative. We would definitely stay here again because it was an awesome location and perfect size and amenities for us!!!

About the host

Hosted by Colin & Ania

Host profile image
We’re Colin & Ania — Seattle-based hosts who created The Riverfront Chalet as a shared creative outlet and a place where nature, comfort, and thoughtful design come together. After years spent in tech and healthcare, we found ourselves drawn to creating something more personal: a place where people could slow down, reconnect, and make meaningful memories. What began as a weekend escape became a true labor of love. Hosting has grown into one of the most rewarding parts of our lives, and we love sharing this special corner of the Cascades with guests.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this peaceful stretch of Leavenworth because it offers something rare: a true sense of calm without feeling remote. Chiwawa River Pines is tucked among the river, forest, and mountains, with easy access to Lake Wenatchee, Plain, Stevens Pass, and downtown Leavenworth. The setting feels quiet, spacious, and grounding — the kind of place where you naturally breathe a little deeper and settle in. From the sound of the river to the surrounding pines and wildlife, it felt like the right place to create something special.

What makes this property unique

The Riverfront Chalet sits on over half an acre of private riverfront property with panoramic views, thoughtful outdoor spaces, and a level of care guests consistently notice. Inside, you’ll find a warm, design-forward space with soaring windows, spa-inspired bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, luxury linens, and smart-home conveniences that make every stay easy and comfortable. Outside, guests can enjoy the covered deck, fire circle, yard games, and peaceful river setting. We like to think of it as equal parts adventure basecamp and restorative hideaway.
