Linens (duvet covers, sheets, pillowcases and towels/bath matts, living room and bedroom throws) are laundered after each guest checks out.

*****************************

The River House is an art filled home for mature adult getaways nestled in the pristine, tranquility of nature. It is your private get away. Experience endless opportunities for exploration, adventure, and performing arts within minutes of the house.

Or perhaps you want to simply settle into a chair at the outdoor table and watch the birds ride the air currents above the Wenatchee River, then barbeque dinner on the Weber grill.

The kitchen has granite/quartz counters, a double granite composite sink set below windows that overlook the river. Glass lit cabinets with under counter lights add a warm glow. To aide with the preparation of your favorite recipes, there is a premium gas cook top, with grill element, and electric oven for accurate baking temperatures. Central air and heat keep you cool as you cook. A corner appliance cabinet is stocked with a selection of small appliances. Cabinets feature easy glide pull out shelves that host a large collection of cooking and baking ware, as well as glass and serving pieces.

A matching granite/quartz custom constructed table/counter for kneading bread and rolling out pies is set on locking casters. The table can be rolled in front of French doors should you wish to dine with a different view. It welcomes chefs of all levels.

Bedrooms have a queen bed appointed with silken, microfiber Comphy Linens, from a small Washington State company, and expansive windows and televisions. Bathrooms have tiled showers, adjustable height heads, stone counters, and heated tile floors.

The home's walls are hung extensively with gallery quality paintings and prints. Ceramic and glass art pieces sit in wall niches and throughout the home. Two leather chairs on rotating bases and a small couch (love seat) offer lovely resting and visiting opportunities in front of a gas fireplace. A walk through the home offers many small, delightful discoveries, like the ammonite inlaid slate fireplace.

The River View House gifts you the perfect, tranquil retreat.

Nice Getaway

We stayed here for a couple nights while visiting Leavenworth. Maybe a one-mile drive to center of downtown. House was very clean, and we had a great stay. Way better than staying in a hotel, at least in my opinion.

Beautiful location; inside and out

A wonderful house perfect for a small family. My wife and i slept downstairs and our college aged kids had the upstairs bedroom (which had a beautiful view of the river from it's window).The kitchen was modern and redone and well appointed. Plenty of books and so many interesting works of art with a nice little description. The boys also enjoyed having a nice upstairs office space for evening time on their laptops. Only downside were a few potholes along the road up to the cabin, but nothing that slow, careful driving made too tricky. What a great spot. We'd love to stay here again on a return visit.

Beautiful and peaceful spot

We really enjoyed our stay. The home is beautiful and the kitchen is well-equipped. The view of the river was so gorgeous and made for some beautiful wintery views. It was nice to be a short drive from town, away from the crowds during President’s Day weekend. I would highly recommend this spot!

great property for 2 couples. i would suggest that at least one cupboard is left empty for use of the renters. We had to store our food items on the drainboard, so the kitchen always appeared cluttered.

Beautiful home

Excellent home in a beautiful location. Far enough away from downtown for a quiet and peaceful stay. Close enough to drive into town in just a few minutes. The sound of the river when outside was peaceful. The property manager, Raye, said hello when we arrived and let us know she was available. Very friendly and kind. There are a couple of things I found strange with the home. The biggest is the window in the upstairs bathroom. The window provides a wonderful view both in and out as there is not any type of covering at all. It is weird that all other windows in the home that are in places such as the bedroom etc have lovely blinds that are the type that can be pulled up or down. The one location in which you can feel most vulnerable there is not anything. It is the upstairs bathroom but the private drive that goes through to other homes does run back there. A propane tank and other utility type things are on a ledge there too. We checked, you can see right in. The second thing that was a little creepy are the two small crawl space doors left unlocked. Most homes that are rented out have these little areas and closets that are locked. Please lock these. One is located in the upstairs bedroom and appears to have general storage items. I glanced in but did not go through anything. Just verifying no unwanted visitors staying in there. I listen to too many crime podcasts and wish to stay alive. The other door was the creepiest. Small space but have paintings on wall.

Peaceful home

This beautiful home matches the photos and description. It is the last home home on a dead end street and and is very quiet. The deck was perfect for morning coffee and dinner overlooking the river. Our only gentle suggestion would be shades in the main bathroom. While many will enjoy the private forest view, we would have like shades in the evening. The first floor bathroom met our needs and we would rent this home again.

About the host

Hosted by Raye Winters

Host profile image
Having grown up in Leavenworth and its surrounding mountains, we're closing in on completely retiring. Spring 2018 we completed our dream home on the Wenatchee River, a beautiful bike ride or saunter into town for coffee or dinner. We diverged from life's clutter, saving only the items that we most enjoyed and those that supported our hobbies and passions (cooking, time with our daughter's family, hiking, skiing, reading, the arts, travel and ...).

While we further explore the mountains and travel we've decided to make our beautiful and personal home available for others to enjoy with care.

Why they chose this property

This home and the land it is built on has been a special spot to many-- from the early Native Americans who fished the summer and fall run and prepared for winter, to those escaping for a respite from their busy lives. Nestled in the pristine, tranquility of nature it can be your private get away.

The forested and rocky ridge of Icicle juts up from the front entry and the back deck hangs above the river. Wildlife wander through as they go about their daily life, as they have for generations.

Icicle Music Foundation, minutes from the house offers performing venues found in larger cities, yet the trail heads leading into the craggy mountains of the Stuart Range but a 20 plus minute drive away.

Our home is nestled in the best of nature, yet offers endless opportunities for exploring, adventure and cultural and performing arts within minutes.

What makes this property unique

Location-Location-Location, a rare and special spot.
