This property was perfect for our plans of using it as a base camp for 6 people, to gather, sort and pack our gear, and wait for the right weather for our Rainier climb. Having this convenient location to land after our climb, to shower / sleep / re-sort and re-pack gear was ideal.
Proximity to town and to the Stevens Canyon park entrance were a big part of our reason for choosing this location, and everything was as advertised.
Host communication was very simple and convenient. I would stay here again in similar circumstances.
Positives: the location is great, loved being slightly outside of town and on a quiet end of a street. Having the creek right there is nice (but inaccessible from the house so don't plan on walking down there). We loved having the two separate living spaces. Bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen are good size. We appreciated that they made a crib and high chair available and the hand soap and hand sanitizer around the house.
Negatives: communication with the management company was slow/spotty to begin with, but once I complained they became very responsive. There were some cleanliness issues in the house (dirt in the dryer being most challenging). The bed in the primary room was squeaky and not very comfortable. No large pans in the house made cooking for a large family slightly challenging. There is no shampoo, cooking oil/spray, or spices (that we found) so plan to bring your own.
Everything was great except the big bathtub, it wouldn't hold water Friday night. I figured out the problem Saturday evening and fixed it. Other than that highly recommended.
Main thing, which didn't affect us since there were only two of us, but one of the twin beds doesn't have a mattress, but only box springs, made up as though it were a bed. If I had kids, and arrived to find they were expected to sleep on a box spring, I would be quite upset. The dining room has no central light, so if you're a large group expecting to eat at that table, it's pretty dark in there. The BBQ works, but only two burners were functional. Finally, this particular company does not supply shampoo, which is the first time I've run across that in the last 20 years or so. No big deal, except I would have brought some if I'd known. The location is great, lovely outdoor seating area by the fire pit, good kitchen, plenty of pans, etc. Just a few things to know before you get there, in order to plan. Very comfortable living room and front sitting room. Lots of windows for good ventilation.
One of the cleanest places I have stayed! The place was perfect! We travel a lot and have rented plenty of houses, but this was one of the cleanest.It was bigger than expected and the creek a plus. I loved it! We got together to celebrate my husband's birthday and everyone had nothing but possitive comments. No issues. Overall, 5/5 stars. I highly recommend it! T
