From the moment we drove up to the time we sadly said goodbye, our stay was absolutely wonderful.
We were greeted by a family of deer just outside our front door upon arrival. Then, as we stepped inside, an overwhelming sense of calm and relaxation took over.
The rental is beautifully furnished - from the softest pillows and throw blankets to the linens on the beds. We spent about 30 minutes just walking around and discovering new things - such as the lights that softly guide your steps as you go up the stairs, a closet that held board games and extra things someone might need, the biggest and comfiest bean-bag chair ever!, and so many places to sleep that my son and I had a hard time deciding where! We easily could have moved into this rental and been as happy as could be.
Iriana is a lovely host with impeccable taste. The area is secluded and calm with views of the mountains. Breakfast in Cle Elum was great and the Cle Elum bakery is a MUST if going into town. The Thorp Fruit Barn is a wonderful stop as well, to stock up on fruits and snacks while perusing the antiques upstairs.
As we locked our door to leave, we were bid farewell by our deer family again. They didn’t want us to go just as much as we didn’t either.
We will certainly be back.
