09/05/07 What a gorgeous well maintained property. Beautiful amenities throughout this warm, inviting home. We stayed over the Labor Day weekend and were so content we almost called in sick to stay another day. Close to any type of outdoor recreation you could want in summer or winter. We are already planning an extended weekends here for Octoberfest and the Christmas Lighting Festival. Everything you could need is here (save for your food & beverages) even if you come to just enjoy the quiet solitude of being away from it all and never open the door until it's time to leave. Good DVD selections, cozy comfortable beds and furnishing. Hurry and get here you won't want to leave. Really!

ONE THAT I HOPE TO SHARE WITH MANY PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE.  EVERYDAY I STILL PICTURE MY 1st IMPRESSION WHEN I TURNED ONTO THE CIRCULAR DRIVEWAY; THERE ""MAMMOTH-SIZE, MASSIVE PROPORTION & ENORMOUS"" I MEAN THE BIGGEST GRANITE ROCK ONE MIGHT HAVE! THIS ROCK OFFERS RECREATION, PRIVACY AND PROMOTES THOUGHT/QUESTION AND POSSIBLY A EXPERIENCE TO ENJOY WITH FAMILY (CHILD, TEEN, ADULT INTERACTION), FRIENDS OR YOURSELF. WHY? IT COULD BE CONSIDERED A ROCK-CLIMBERS IDEAL...NOVICE-SEASONED AND EVEN CHALLENGING. NATURE'S GYM. THIS UNIQUE MOUNTAIN RETREAT HAS A RUSTIC DRESSING INSIDE, JUST ABOUT EVERY NEED IS FOUND, THE KITCHEN TOOLS, WARES AND APPLIANCES ALLOWS A CHEF TO PREPARE CUISINES, MEALS AND THERE'S PLENTY OF SPACE W/NATURAL LIGHT AND A FARMHOUSE DOOR FOR A BREEZE. THERE'S A HUGE ISLAND WITH A COUPLE OF STOOLS WHICH COULD BE USED TO CORRAL SOMEONE WHOSE UNDERFOOT. FROM THE KITCHEN TAKE ONE STEP DOWN INTO THE DINING ROOM YOU MAY CHOOSE TO SET-UP THIS BIG TABLE FOR YOUR MEALS. OR KEEP GOING OUT TO THE BALCONY THROUGH THE FRENCH DBL. DOORWAY. LIGHT THE LI'L OUTDOOR FIREPLACE FOR AFTERWARDS. LISTEN TO MOUNTAIN...YEAH...SO MUCH TO OFFER I BELIEVE THIS PLACE HAS THE CAPABILITY TO BECOME WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE NEEDED TO PROVIDE. DOWN THE STAIRWAY THERE'S A FULL-LARGE ENOUGH BATHROOM WITH TWO VANITIES AND SEPARATED FROM ANOTHER GIRLS/BOYS...THERE 'S TWO BEDROOMS ONE QUEEN-COMPLETELY FURNISHED. ACROSS THE HALLWAY YOU'LL FIND A BUNKROOM FOR UP TO FOUR. ALL BEDROOMS HAVE A TV  WITH HOOK-UPS. MY GRIPE WOULD BE THE SMALLEST: MOSQUITO'S YES, TINY  STINGING MEAN BUG WITH AN ATTITUDE. (ROSS & CINDY) HAVE SUPPLIED THIS WAND/STICK THAT REPELS SKITTER'S & THEY WORK VERY WELL, NO PLUME OF FUMES AS THEY SMOLDER.. P.S. BRING BENEDRYL SPRAY/DOBBERS - TRIED & TRUE ANNA B.T., WASHINGTON ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 06/19/07 We stayed the weekend in this beautiful cabin and I can't say enough about it's beauty and comfort. It was spacious enough for the kids to have their play areas while the adults could find some solace. It had all the comforts of home and then some. All of the furnishings were beautiful, from leather furniture to lodge pole beds. Your every need is taken care of by the wonderful owners. It is open and relaxing with room for all. We were close to the lakes for fishing and 10 minutes away from Leavenworth for shopping. I would highly recommend this lodging for a vacation. Comfortable, relaxing, spacious and high quality, you cannot miss with this choice. Kim Johnson, Duvall, WA RETURN TO MOUNTAIN COMFORT RETREAT
