Riverside oasis

This riverside oasis is the best place to be. We watched humming birds, a beautiful raven, played board games, enjoyed the Gary Larson books, dipped our toes in the river and began our mornings walking the property. It is so lovely, relaxing, expertly well appointed and has something everyone can enjoy. This place is a treasure.

Beautiful property

Overall the property is incredible, there is a lot of special places to discover as you walk around the trails. However, if you were hoping to enjoy a view or even a glimpse of the river from the house, you will be just as disappointed as I was. We did enjoy the hot tub (again no view of river) and loved all the details around the property, it is very thought out.

Great property

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is beautiful and has a nice hot tub and fire pit. For a relatively small house, the bedrooms and bathrooms are a good size. I would stay here again for a weekend getaway not far from Seattle.

Stunning, Private, Peaceful

My husband, mother-in-law, and I (along with our dogs) recently enjoyed a weekend stay at this gorgeous property. The house was cozy and comfortable, and the grounds looked magical. We’re already looking forward to coming back for a longer stay in the future!

Amazing surrounding.

We had a very good time at the house and thoroughly enjoyed the river that is just steps away. Our dogs loved the yard and the access to water. The house is clean, well-kept, and the AC was definitely a plus during a hot summer stay!

Best place to stay for a family

Wonderful inside and outside. Very scenic, river adjacent was beautiful. Lots of activities were provided (lawn games, a music "jam" room [as we dubbed it], DVDs for the kids). House didnt' feel to "old", kitchen and bathrooms appeared updated and more modern.

Relaxing Retreat

Our stay at the Wallace River Retreat was amazing. It was our first trip away during this pandemic and it was just perfect. We went hiking on a nearby trail, rocked out with the instruments, hung out in the hot tub and played board games. The river was gorgeous and the owners thought of everything in the cozy house. It was just the getaway that we needed.

We had a lot of fun. Much to do on the property and really no reason to leave.

It was my first rental experience and it did meet my expectations. Lots of flowers lots of places to sit and enjoy nature and the music room was a lot of fun too. Made s'mores by the campfire. Fun experience

River, hot tub, room to roam and owls!

We loved our stay here! Our 2 dogs had a blast playing in the huge yard, and we enjoyed exploring all the nooks and crannies of the large fenced property. Places to sit next to the river, around the fire pit or on the porch to listen to the birds made it so relaxing. We were visited by two barred owls! The separate music room is a big plus, giving an opportunity to try out different instruments without disturbing others. The hot tub was pristine and private, great for soaking after a hike. And the cabin kitchen was better equipped than ours at home. Great internet service allowed us to keep in touch with work when we had to. We plan to come back.

😎 Awesome!

This property is beautiful and very well maintained. The cabin is comfy and has a ton of charm. Lots of little special details. The grounds are amazing with lots of adorable and beautiful different spots to explore and enjoy. Would absolutely recommend this property. They provided lots of indoor and outdoor games with fishing poles and everything. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, they have a beautifully equipped music studio and allow access!!! Amazing property.

Dreamy property

My family of 5 and 1 friend had a great time at Wallace River Retreat. We went into Sultan one day, but there was plenty to keep us busy right there on the property. The lovely lawn was an unexpected surprise. We were able to spread out and enjoy the River, watch hummingbirds, eat meals outdoors, and lots more. Incredibly well equipped vacation rental. We kept remarking how they had thought of everything. We hope to return.

Classy, delightfully decorated, clean and fun!

What a treat to find such a clean, sophisticated, relaxing getaway along a river! Just a short, easy drive from Seattle too. Everything is top notch and will please anyone looking for a relaxing change of pace. Sit by the river and leave city life behind for a bit. This place is definitely very special in all good ways. Both inside and outside have fun, tasteful decorations with whimsical surprises and activities for all ages and weather. Very clean with comfortable beds, bedding and furniture. Wonderful outdoor firepit and hot tub. We will definitely return!

A Little Slice of Heaven

Sweet getaway not too far from Seattle, yet you feel a million miles away. The cabin is cozy and comfortable, even has A/C for those super jot summer days. The kitchen is well equipped with sharp knives, high quality utensils and plenty of dishes to get 6 people through the day without having to run the dishwasher. Lots of different seating areas outside for groups or solo contemplation. The riverbank is totally private, as is the huge hot tub. Dogs and kids can run around the fully fenced property. Great for birdwatchers. Highly recommended!

Picturesque Haven

Lovely property that truly lived up to the description and pictures. Every detail in the house is kept up with nice quality and amenities. We really enjoyed exploring the property which provided ample surprises throughout the week, including some nighttime guitar strumming. It was also fun to have our meals at a different location each time, given the great variety of tables throughout the property. We heard some exciting wild animal sounds early one morning- probably the bobcat. Highly recommend the Wallace Falls hike that even our 5 yo managed without issue. Thank you to the owners for a truly amazing vacation.

So charming and peaceful, we never wanted to leave

There's absolutely no complains about our stay at the Wallace river retreat. This property is amazing and the owners really thought of everything. There's trails and nooks to the most charming areas on the property. Swings and hammocks tucked away. The hot tub and the fully loaded detached band room were also a plus. The house itself was stylish and organic to the nature and indigenous land all around. But of course the best part was still the river! There's a private trail right down to the best spot on the river and another hidden trail to an overlook. We are so thrilled to be able to have our wedding ceremony on the property and we would definitely love to stay here again.

Paradise!

Wallace River Retreat was perfect in every way for our group stay. The home is very well-equipped with so many thoughtful things - flip-flops for walking to the hot tub, hummingbird nectar to refill the feeders, thorough instructions on how to use the TV and Sonos music system, plenty of towels, etc. Beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are very nice. But the outdoor areas made this stay a paradise for us. Swings, hammocks, hot tub, fire pit, decks, porch, 3 different areas to enjoy the riverfront - all spaced out on a huge property. And for bird lovers like us, this is a special oasis with feeders throughout and plenty of bird seed for refills. The musician in our group was thrilled to have a practice space with instruments! Couldn't ask for anything more.
