Perfect stay!

We had such a great time hosting our family and friends for a small wedding at this property. The management team was super responsive and easy to work with. The property was beautiful and the views of the river were breathtaking. Looking forward to staying here in the future!

Great location

Loved the location! House was big and great for how many people we had! Only thing was we had to keep going back and forth with cooking supplies because the cottage wasn’t as stocked as the main house. But that’s what kids are for.

37th annual retreat of uMichigan mates

Well located on the river with a large secluded parcel. Nice size kitchen and table that accommodated all 8 of us. Main house was all glass facing west and the river. Lots of bird activity on the river. Three minutes drive to the falls for more bird watching that served 2 of us every morning at sunrise. 10 minute drive to Chelan. We made lots of use of the grill and spacious deck. 5 of us had private rooms in the main house an three stayed in the “attached” separate space (2 in bedrooms plus one on fold out couch in the kitchen that included a private bathroom with shower). Since it was apple harvest season, there were lots of traffic on the highway above, but the house a yard is more than 20’ below and somewhat shielded. Not really an issue for us. The big TV in the living room operates via Roku - fortunately one of us spoke Roku, otherwise it might have been a challenge. With a bit of rearranged furniture it served our football viewing needs well. This was a great place to stage a visit to lake Chelan.

Great stay!

We had a lot of fun! There’s a little beach area by the gazebo that is super cool and not even really highlighted in the pictures. The beds seemed very very hard to me, but others in my group seemed to prefer them that way.

Family reunion

Perfect for large gatherings!! The property had a huge yard and plenty of room for our family of 20!! The dock and small beach on the property kept young and old busy during the day and plenty of room on the deck to play to board games! Everyone had a good time and plan to return!

Lovely family vacation

We had a great time staying in this location for a family reunion. There were 17 of us, and plenty of space for everyone with the main house and carriage house. We loved having a dock to moor our boat for the week, and the launch was just a couple of miles up the road. The proximity to Chelan (about 10-12 minutes drive) made it easy to grocery shop or eat out if we didn’t feel like cooking after a long day on the lake. The hot tub was nice to soak tired muscles, and the beautiful lawn space allowed for games like corn hole or playing a game of catch. The house is pet-friendly, although we didn’t bring any. We really loved the private location, as there was only one other house at the opposite end of the drive off Hwy 97.

Great home for a large gathering

The house and guest house are comfortable, and the kitchens are well-stocked with dishes, cooking items, etc. We did have an issue with a bad smell coming from the septic, but the property manager handled it quickly. We had a large family gathering and the house functioned well. The location is off a highway, so there is no place to go for walks, however this is a dock and a small beach area, as well as two decks and plenty of lawn space. All in all, it was a great place.

80th Birthday

Nice big house for family of 18. We had a great time. Some general maintenance needs to be done. Only one large burner worked on main house stovetop making it difficult to cook breakfast for large family group. No griddle available either. Needed to call for enough forks at dinner first night. Dining Chairs/stools in cottage and main house need tightening. Some are dangerous. Cottage downstairs tub doesn’t drain well.

Spacious but well used

It was over all a nice place to stay, the main living room was a perfect place for us all to hang out and in a nice location. The bathrooms and bedding were clean but we found places like the top of the fridge to be in need of a wipe and kitchen pots and pans needed to be cleaned prior to use as they would have food remnants on them probably from the last groups use.

Perfect Stay

We had a blast staying at this property. It was a very private location with many perks. We were able to play wiffle ball in the large yard, jump off the dock into the river, and most importantly spent time with each other throughout the weekend. The house is amazing, and the separate cottage allows guests to have a private area as well. The hot tub worked great. There was a private beach area and a working grill. I would recommend this house for anyone expecting a family reunion. The only downside to the property was the bugs, but with candles and spray you will be fine. Great stay with great people!!
