The spacious riverside deck opens off the main floor living room and offers an expansive view of Beckler Peak that rises 5,000 feet up just across the rushing river. The multi-tiered design creates room for several entertaining areas. Whether you are bird-watching under the umbrella, grilling on our gas BBQ, dining alfresco, or unwinding under the stars in our 7-person jetted Jacuzzi Spa, you’ll have the soothing sounds of the rushing river and rustling trees as your constant backdrop.
Step off the deck, grab a roasting stick and enjoy s’mores by firelight while gathering around our rustic fire pit. Or follow a primitive trail to our secluded sandy beach on the far side of the nearby island, a perfect spot for enjoying all the sights and sounds of the rushing Tye River.
With all the built-in entertainment it offers, River's Edge is so much more than just a place to stay. There's nothing like our Chalet, the mountains, the river and the large jetted spa to rejuvenate your spirit, especially when shared with family and friends!

This place is amazing it is better appointed than any Vrbo we’ve ever stayed in.They have a beautiful spice rack, allowing one to make virtually any meal from any culture or cuisine. The hot tub is fantastic. The river is beautiful. The fireplace is cozy. The beds are as comfortable as I’ve ever stayed in.The staff decorated the cabin for a surprise birthday party for our daughter, and they did an amazing job. The cabin is located in an amazing location, only 18 minutes from the slopes.
What a lovely place to spend a few snow days! I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a more thoughtfully furnished vacation rental. A full array of kitchen tools, serving dishes and glasses; three bedrooms with each just as nice as the others, and the biggest collection of board games I’ve ever seen! Close to Stevens Pass. Even has a set of sleds, if you know where to look for them (in the garage)! And the view of the river is delightful!
Our family just enjoyed a three-day ski weekend staying at this beautiful chalet on the river. The hosts are wonderful to work with and very accommodating. The chalet is as advertised, beautiful and well equipped with everything you might need. We have two more weekends planned staying here this ski season. So I guess it's fair to say...."we'll be back".
This is an incredible spot! Super comfy rooms, with a big great room with plenty of space to hang out. Warm and cozy with a fireplace and a big view of the river and mountain. Hot tub right out on the front deck with the same incredible view. Really well supplied - all of my family members said that this was the best equipped kitchen that we've ever stayed in. Bedrooms comfortable, and downstairs game room (well stocked with games) a nice addition as well. Hosts were pro-active and responsive, really easy to work with. Would 100% stay here again. Highly recommend.
The hosts are very accommodating. It’s a great place and great location. We originally got it to going skiing at Stevens with the family, but with the highway closed we originally were bummed but went anyway. We stayed two nights there and it was so much fun. Well worth going even without skiing. The cabin was a lot bigger than I thought based on the photos. It was all decked out for Christmas. It was perfect for our family of ten with 7 of them being adults. The kitchen was well stocked. The hot tub was hot. The views were great. The river was right next to the cabin. We went on a hike great hike nearby and had lots of things to keep us entertained. We will definitely go there again
House is beautiful and well maintained, The view from the deck is spectacular, Sit in the hot tuband enjoy the view. Best part was the private beach. We inertubed in the river and areas with swimming holes. Absolutely wonderful stay. We will stay again.
Home was clean and so much fun! I had a great time with friends for my birthday. The private river beach was perfect and a great way to cool off. Highly recommend !
Family stayed here to spend a few days skiing in Stevens pass, such a great house with everything you need, such a scenic place with river right beside. Easy 18min drive to Stevens pass….highly recommend
Charming, well-kept cabin with everything you could possibly want to retreat to from the outside world. Easy communication, perfectly located to hunker down by the river, hit the slopes, or explore the many awesome trails.
Enjoyed the pool table, the well equipped kitchen (lots of condiments) and the comfortable accommodations. Worked well for us as home base to ski with our grandsons at Stevens Pass.
The Chalet was an overall great place to stay! There was a bit of everything for every one of all the ages we had in our group. The place was comfortable and all amenities were provided especially the kitchen! It was a cooks haven. Would for sure stay here again!
Walking into this beautiful cabin was like walking into a Hallmark Christmas movie. It was beautifu
We will be staying here again.
