We really enjoyed our time at this cabin and we would definitely stay here again. It was peaceful and secluded. We enjoyed sledding down the driveway, walking though the neighborhood, and visiting Leavenworth midweek when it was dead.
Sleeping was easy for our blackout blind family with no street lights glaring in the windows at night. And despite the lack of curtains, I did not feel exposed. There is really no one around to see inside. The cabin has two bedrooms and one loft room, which would be difficult for kids to sleep in if adults stay up later. The beds were a little too soft.
As others have mentioned, the kitchen had almost everything we needed. Here’s what I would bring: Large cutting board, Measuring cups (liquid and dry), Vegetable peeler, Silicone spatula, Grater, Dish towels, Clothe napkins, and conical coffee filters. I was pleasantly surprised to find a coffee grinder :). The dining room table is rickety and held together with twine. The table is not safe and should be replaced.
There were plenty of bath towels and pool towels. The hot tub was probably “clean” as it is full of chemicals, but the water was brown.
Bring slippers as the main floor floor is very cold, especially in the bathroom and kitchen. We used about one pack of wood from the grocery store a day having a fire in the afternoon. The upstairs would get uncomfortably warm if we had a fire in the evening.
Cell service on Verizon was spotty. We were occasionally about to make contact with the outside world, but not consistently. It was nice to be disconnected.
We were able to get in and out of the steep icy driveway with our AWD vehicle, but we are confident snow drivers. I would not recommend that the average driver attempt this. There is space for one car at the top of the hill. Otherwise, there’s no street parking particularly in the winter when snow plows need to get by.
I find it odd that the response from Vacasa to poor reviews is to call customer service while at the vacation rental, but this is not an option at a house with less than one bar of service and no wifi.
