Quite Weekend Getaway

There was nearly nobody around the weekend we went, which was great. The house had a few issues. The floor in the bathroom surrounding the toilet was suspect at best. It felt like it could give way at any moment. There were some sugar ants in the kitchen. The lockbox outside wouldn’t actually lock when we tried to leave the key. Those issues were relative annoyances, however, the inability for our dog to access the upstairs because the stairs were at a terrible angle meant we all had to sleep in the bunk beds downstairs. The microwave nearly blew up when we attempted using it. And we received zero responses from property management. The responses we received from Vacasa were prewritten blurbs that showed they literally didn’t even read my messages at all until I asked point blank if they had. So annoying!

Fine or the price

First we had trouble finding the property, granted it was late at night but there were few markings that could be seen from the street. Then we noticed the amount of unshoveled snow both in the driveway and on the porch. We continued to park in the driveway hoping it would be ok. It was not as we got stuck in the driveway. We called the helpline for some assistance in getting the driveway properly plowed but nothing came of it. Had to get towed by a friendly neighbor and nearly missed a reservation dealing with this issue. There were ants in the kitchen and the stairs are not child or mobility-friendly. Overall a fun trip but the accommodations were a little disappointing.

Sweet Retreat

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was very cozy and rustic with a great view of the lake. We loved the beach too. We also enjoyed the hike to Hidden Lake. The stairs were more manageable than expected. The dining room light was out. But other than that, it was a perfect little get away in early October.

A nice relaxing stay.

I really enjoyed my time at this cabin. The easement trail down to the water was fabulous. My dogs and I swam down there every day. I wish that the dock had not been pulled up already, but that’s OK. It was clean, quiet, and well described on the website. However, I think that, the website photos should be updated.

Excellent time few improvements suggestions

Overall good location excellent views everything that could be needed to prepare meals and store food adequate heat sources the only complaint is the lack of adequate sleeping options for couples of who do not have children one request would be more comfortable sleeping options for the lower level ie a daybed with a slide out underneath or a Murphy bed that could be stored against the wall instead of the bunk bed it just doesn't serve the purpose when the only other option is a windy spiral staircase to reach the beds of decent size that are on the floor which is also a difficulty for most people to get up from and climbing stairs like this is difficult

Absolutely no response from property management/staff when I reached out to them as a courtesy regarding a personal concern with the stay. I feel this is a significant expression of ignorance and complete lack of professional decorum on the management's behalf. I should have taken note of the numerous negative reviews for the property as well as the management's response to those reviews. Each response redirects all accountability from themselves and is bereft of any sincerity.

Needs a bit of updating - no vibe, loft seemed quite dangerous stairs were practically straight up. Motion lite would not shut off. Area around toilet felt like in was going to fall through floor. No hairdryer, no back blind on back door, bed doesn’t sleep 2 adults. View of lake was nice. We left day early because of all the issues made it not enjoyable.

Nice place with just one problem

I really enjoyed my stay, but the staird to the top floor are very dangerous. I tripped and fell a couple times. This kind of stairs should be forbiden. It is impossible for old people to use, and very dangerous for kids.

Not meet my expectations

All photos need to be updated. The stairs are no longer a spiral, they basically lead straight up and are a massive danger hazard to children. woodstove wasn’t working, it was clearly listed that a working woodstove was included. There was spiderwebs in every corner you could see. deck was unusable due to 2 feet of snow covering it. The front of the cabin looked like it was falling apart since it was just covered in different pieces of plywood.

Relaxing

This was meant to be a trip to relax and keep things low key, and it was. The cabin was clean, and had a lot of dishware and utensils to use. There were a couple things that we should mention. There was a dead mouse on the kitchen floor when we came in. Could have nothing to do with cleanliness, might have just been getting out of the rain. Also, the trail to the lake wasn't very cleared or maintained, so we didn't go down to check it out. Overall we had a good stay.

Interesting stay

Interesting cabin. The loft/sleeping area is accessible for only the brave. The bathroom/shower are a bit tight. Be careful of the deck railing. The cabin is also 30 minutes or so from a grocery store. The gas grill is awesome. The kitchen and living space were both very nice. Vacasa was a great rental agency to work with!

Wouldn’t recommend bringing children.

It a great location and cozy cabin setting. The makeshift stairs leading to the upstairs loft area (top 3 beds) are dangerously steep. Also there were multiple broken rails around the deck area with loose panels. There were pictures of a dock included with the property and we were not able to use the dock as it was dry docked with row boats padlocked on top of it. Customer service gave is an “I’m sorry.”

Wonderful cabin stay!

We loved our time at the Sweet Retreat! A great place, just a short walk from Lake Wenatchee. Bring your floaties and maybe some camping chairs to relax next to the peaceful lake. We did run out of garbage liners during our stay, but other then that the house was well equipped for all our cooking needs. Thanks for a great place to stay!

Good location!

We had a great stay at the Sweet Retreat! The cabin is a nice home base for spending all day on the lake. It looks to be well loved and is in need of a few fixes but nothing that detracted from the stay for us. It had everything we needed. Plenty of beds and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. It was hot out so the cabin got pretty warm but there was a fan that helped to keep it adequately cool. The deck is nice but the mosquitoes were out in full force, lol, so we didn't get to enjoy it as much as we would have liked. We came for the lake and it did not disappoint! The walk to the lake is easy, even loaded down with bags. The scenery is beautiful. We really enjoyed this property!

Property is in poor condition. Extremely high weeds. Small bathroom, with floor sinking around toilet. No railings for the front steps, my wife fell down the steps. That alone is not up to any building codes. Overall not satisfied and would not recommend.

Perfect upgrade to camping!

This little cabin was a gem! We had a great stay. There were plenty of beds (6 + couch), lots of clean towels and blankets, and kitchen had all the pots, pans and utensils needed. The water access was amazing and we loved kayaking all around that beautiful lake. The only upgrades that would make it even better are ... -Stair rail is loose (I thought the stairs to the loft were fine, but the railing was loose). -The screen door was torn and with all the mosquitos it really needed to not be. -The coffee pot lid was missing a piece and the coffee took over 2 hours to brew and not very tasty.

Cozy, clean cabin experience

Cozy Cabin Retreat is the perfect blend of cozy and rustic! We were happy to discover the beds were clean and that towels were provided. The kitchen comes fully stocked with meal preparation essentials; however, there is no ventilation hood over the range. The only drawback was that we couldn't use the wood stove, but that's not really their fault because the snowpack brought down the chimney. The trail to the lake access is right across the street and the area is absolutely beautiful! We also happened to leave behind some personal items and Vacasa customer service helped track them down to ship to us. We are very thankful for the help!

Not well maintained for winter trips

The steps from the driveway to the deck were not shoveled or cleared (even though we were assured this would be done) so it was scary slippery to navigate, especially with luggage. If you go here in the winter, you won't have access to the woodstove for fires, they don't maintain it. They don't clear the deck of snow, so sitting outside to star gaze is out. They just rope it off. They don't clear the trail for lake access so come prepared with snow shoes or risk sinking into the deep snow as you make your way down. The dishes weren't all clean, which was surprising since they charge so much for cleaning. Outside of that, it was a quiet, tranquil place to celebrate our anniversary. If we ever came again, it would be in the summer

PEACEFUL PLACE

Very cute little cabin, well stocked with everything you would need for basics. The “dock” needs some repairs/replacement and the BBQ needs to be replaced, but other than that, it was a great getaway. If you go, be sure to hike to Hidden Lake!! Short drive, beautiful hike & a very peaceful place!! Had a great time here!!
