Peaceful Paradise
Beautiful spot right on the river. It was perfect for us and our 4 yr old granddaughter and a fantastic spot to get together with our daughter and son-in law who live in Spanaway. The accommodations were superb, and a fishing spot was just steps away which was delightful for my husband. The hosts really went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and fun. We can't wait to go back again....wish we could live there! Thank you so much Stephanie and Kevin!

Amazing Experience!!
Best location, met our expectations and went above and beyond. Comfortable stay and felt safe with the community cops checking in on us. The sound and view of the river right outside the rv in the morning was beyond wonderful and beautiful. Will definitely be booking again in a couple of months!

About the host

Hosted by Stefanie & Kevin

Host profile image
Kevin and Stefanie Jones. We were married at this river property four years ago. This is our home away from home & our favorite place ever… we love to come out here with our family, cook in the outdoor kitchen, & relax & spend time with family & friends. Making sweet memories here that last a lifetime.
Kevin & I have 4 kids, Haylee (21), Sydney (19), Kai (16), & Levi (12). Kai & Levi LOVE to throw a pole in the water & catch a variety of fish & crawdads. Haylee & Sydney stick to a game of cornhole or relaxing in a lawn chair or watching a movie on the outdoor TV. We all love to float the river in raft’s & inner tubes when the weather is at its best (usually August). We jump in the river near Stewart’s meats in McKenna, & float all the way down to our place. It takes about 2 1/2 hours & is relatively calm. There are a couple of whitewater type spots though, so we make sure that everyone is wearing a life jacket. We all eat way too much when we are here, probably due to having all the fun cooking equipment like the Traeger, the BBQ, the Blackstone, & the popcorn machine.
We have 2 dogs…. One chiweenie Neema, & one pitty named Stella. They never run away, so not having a fence is ok for them. If they did have wandering tendencies, I would have to keep them on a leash or leave them home. Stella just grew out of her puppy chewing phase … we lost a couple of footstools & about 100 pairs of shoes. We were lucky she didn’t chew the couch or something more important!
We are pretty new to hosting on VRBO. Although we have hosted friends for years, I never thought of sharing the love with people we hadn’t met yet. I love meeting new people… you never know where a lifelong friend will develop from. I treat all our guests like friends/family & want you to feel like this is just as much your place as it is mine. Make yourself at home and feel free to ask me any questions as they come up. I’m here to help. We look forward to meeting you…. And hope you enjoy your stay.

Why they chose this property

This is a very private & secluded spot that is very near the main part of town, but seems like it is very removed & private. The river runs directly through our property, so you hear the water rushing as soon as you arrive. It’s very tranquil . We have four lots on the river, all side by side, so it’s plenty of room for everybody to spread out if we want to. Water activities are the highlight of our weekends during summer, weather it’s swimming in the river or floating/rafting in tubes & rafts… there’s something for everyone. If you want to do any of the activities that require a raft or tube, please just ask me and I’ll do my best to get you the equipment to use so you can. Since we have the 4 lots that are side by side, there are No direct neighbors, except anyone who is staying on one them. There is a large fire pit in the middle of our lot, for roasting marshmallows & hot dogs etc. Also, an out door cooking area for everyone to gather and watch a movie or cook a meal. This section is communal, so you might see us or some of our other friends that are staying in one of the lots. Everyone usually shares their food & all are very welcoming and friendly. If you want to know if you will have others staying during your stay feel free to ask me. It is very quiet here and peaceful. A wonderful place to relax and get your energy back.

What makes this property unique

The peaceful nature of our property makes it very unique. Everyone that comes here is always so surprised that a place can feel this private, but be so close to the city. You can have a fire in the fire pit or watch a movie in the outdoor kitchen. I don’t think I’ve ever seen those things in combination at anyone’s place before. CC
