The combination of the mountain view mixed with the calming flow of the river was absolutely perfect! Sitting on the deck or in the hottub was the perfect way to spend our evenings after a long day of hiking!

A wonderful stay

A really wonderful property! A cozy and tranquil place to relax and with great views. The amenities were amazing (hot tub, woodstove, etc.) and we had a very comfortable stay. The very friendly hosts were prompt with communication and the gated community was very quiet and serene (with a bonus waterfall).

Beautiful property, nicely set up with everything you need. The view is wonderful! You do have to crouch to get to the top floor, my husband and I are tall so it was a bit tricky. Not as secluded as we thought with neighbors close by. The hot tub with a view was fantastic.

Absolutely peaceful, beautiful views, and a cozy cabin. The river was so peaceful. The kitchen was well stocked with needed flatware, pans, pots, even coffee, a variety of teas. The hot tub was so relaxing and perfect for taking in the scenery. Prior reviews mentioned the water smelling but we did not have any issues. Fire burner was perfect for the cold evenings. Only recommendation would be a throw blanket for the living room area. Beautiful waterfall on the way into the secluded area. Great location to get to Seattle, Mt Rainier, Northern Cascades and Mt Index. Further drive for Mt Olympus but worth it for Rialto Beach.

The location of this little cabin couldn't be better. We thoroughly enjoyed the views of the mountains and river and would have been happy to stay put all weekend, but did venture out for a couple of hikes:) We hope to visit again and highly recommend this rental to others!

Mountain vacation

Quaint cabin with great views. We love coming to this area every year or so for an escape. We had some issues with the hot tub that made it difficult to use (would randomly spray water which would lead to us needing to get out) but otherwise was a great stay!

This is the perfect spot to get away for an extended weekend. It's secluded and right on the river and forces you to slow down and relax. It's just what we needed.

It was very clean the view was beautiful. At night the only way to warm the cabin was to build a fire. It was very generous of them to provide wood and we got more down the road. Additionally, the water had a terrible smell. We still showered, but used gallons for cooking.

Hi Gina, thanks for your review of our Small Timbers. We're glad to hear you had a great stay! Our cabin does indeed have electric heat, as there is a baseboard heater visible in photos just beside the woodstove and information on how to use it is present in the cabin. I apologize if the fresh water had an offputting smell - our water is completely potable, but comes from a well, so it may not be familiar to city water. Happy trails!
