Great location

The highlight, for me, was the location. Cascades towering above, stunning scenery everywhere. An amazing canyon in the neighborhood. The cabin was great. Hot tub was great. All good. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect cabin

The rising sun was exactly what we were looking for. It was very clean and comfortable. Being able to sit out on the deck and look at the river was so relaxing. It was raining for our entire stay so we'll definitely be booking it again in the spring/summer so we can take advantage of everything the cabin has to offer.

Another amazing experience

This is our 2nd time staying at a Tree Line property and both were exceptional. The cabins were spotless and well stocked with all the necessities as well as additional things like board games. I’ve been in direct contact with the staff on both occasions and they have been nothing but friendly and helpful. They will definitely be our first choice in the future.

Girls weekend

Not exactly what we were expecting but it turned out great! I haven't seen my sisters in 3 years so we decided to get together and have a girls weekend. This cabin was quiet and had the most beautiful views. We mostly hung out on the patio or outside. The hot tub was a nice feature. Be prepared though, there's only one bathroom and it's upstairs. The second bedroom is on ground level and not connected to the house. You have to walk outside, upstairs to the main house, then upstairs again for the bathroom. Very inconvenient. Overall our stay was wonderful.

Zen Summer Destinations

A long, winding, well kept, narrow gravel road is the preamble to this wonderland in the woods. My 2016 Mazda CX5 made it just fine. High mountain peaks dotted with snow frame this lovely home. From the outdoor decks, I take it all in and envy folks who climb to the top. But I just want to chill. It's 80 something degrees and sunny. The river and peaks can be seen from the windows, the decks, the fire pit, the picnic table, the yard and the well maintained hot tub. The sounds are mesmerizing. No TV for us. Maybe just some Shuggie Otis or Chicano Batman. Spend a minute or two in the back yard lying in the super cush mossy grass. The overgrown trail leading to the river continues the adventure. Wildflowers blooming on either side then opening up to a flat, rocky but stroll-able bank. Here, close up, you experience the aquarium clear river. You can see other properties in the distance, but they do not intrude visually or acoustically.

Winter Cabin

We stayed at this cabin during the winter. They do warn you about road conditions and it’s close to US2 but still remote and luckily we have a truck so no issues getting in and out but there was more snow than expected. The house was clean, only issue I had is I noticed a musty smell on one of the kitchen towels and couple of the bathroom wash clothes which is not great. I would advise anyone with dogs that the main entrance is on 2nd floor and so in winter you do have to go up and down exterior stairs to take dogs out which wasn’t ideal. I didn’t realize this when I booked so want to bring attention for others. It was icy near the trash cans some salt would be nice. It was also very cold upstairs. The fireplace really helps on the main 2nd floor level but doesn’t heat the upstairs and the electric wall heater isn’t enough. I slept on couch and spare bed on the main floor due to it being too cold upstairs. My husband did sleep upstairs but did say it was cold. I think it’s a fine cabin and well kept but just wouldn’t stay here again in the winter months. We did enjoy having the hot tub and it’s partially covered which is one of the main reasons we booked this cabin.

We really liked the cabin and river view. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great. Had a big storm with power outage overnight and next morning. We did build a fire to stay warm and used the tea kettle on the wood stove to boil water for coffee!
