This Airbnb was spectacular. From the scenic and well manicured outside to the thoughtful, clean, and detailed inside - our stay was perfect. Colin was also a fantastic, responsive, and helpful host. He gave us many local recommendations and helped provide us detailed and helpful information for the season in Leavenworth. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this place to stay for a peaceful place outside of Leavenworth!

We had a great stay! The house was very clean and organized. Loved the air purifier, soft sheets, coffee station, stainless pans, and best of all the sound of the river flowing outside the back porch. 30 min from Leavenworth and 5 min from Lake. Hopefully we’ll be back sometime for another stay!

We had the most wonderful stay, it truly exceeded our expectations in every way. The place was serene, with beautiful views that made every morning feel special and peaceful evenings we’ll never forget. Every little detail, from the cozy fireplace to the inviting outdoor space, made our stay relaxing and memorable. What made this trip even more special was experiencing it with our baby, it was our first vacation as a family, and the Riverfront Chalet couldn't have been more perfect for it. We’re so grateful for this stay and can’t wait to return someday. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful escape.

This was one of the best homes we’ve stayed in (60+ on Airbnb). It was spotless, perfectly maintained, and beautifully furnished. The beds were very comfortable, the amenities excellent, and everything is thoughtfully provided in great detail - from the sound system, to lighting, to little table fans for outdoor dining... The real highlight was the deck overlooking the river. The photos don't do it justice. We spent hours out there—eating meals, working, or just sitting back in the deck chairs to watch an eagle glide up and down the river.

We had a wonderful stay. It’s a great place to relax and unwind. Colin and Ania were incredibly helpful, and the home had all the amenities we needed for a peaceful and comfortable visit. Would come visit again.

This chalet is a little piece of heaven. Every detail—inside and out—radiates love and care. The peaceful sound of the river, lush landscaping, spacious deck with comfy seating, and screens for pets/kids made the outdoor space perfect. The master bedroom felt like a sanctuary, and waking up to those views each day was a dream. The kitchen was fully stocked, the dining table was big and welcoming—every little want was anticipated. Seriously, every want... You don’t need to leave—just bring groceries. Minutes from Lake Wenatchee and close to Leavenworth, but you’ll want to stay put. We came for a spontaneous anniversary trip while I was working in WA, and I debated several options—so glad we chose this one. Missing this experience would’ve been a loss. Colin and Ania, thank you for creating such a peaceful, thoughtful, unforgettable space. It’s all my husband and I have talked about—and we’ll return every chance we get.

We couldn’t have loved our stay more! Colin and Ania were the most responsive hosts we’ve ever had—thoughtful, kind, and incredibly attentive. Every detail was prepared with care, and anything we could possibly need was already there. When we had a question, they responded instantly with warmth and clarity. The cabin itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and so peaceful. We ate breakfast outside each morning, surrounded by the sound of the river, wind in the trees, and more hummingbirds than I’ve ever seen. One day, we even canceled our plans just to stay and enjoy the serenity—playing yard games and relaxing by the propane firepit, which was perfect even with a burn ban. It’s rare to feel so welcomed and cared for, and we left feeling rested, grateful, and already planning our return. Without a doubt, our favorite Airbnb yet.

This was a great rental. Colin and Ania have clearly taken the time and care to add many extra touches and features that make this place stand out. The description and photos are accurate and the hosts are proactive and responsive. We would not hesitate to stay here again and would recommend. Thank you!

Colin's place is a perfect size for our family of 4 (two adults, two younger kids that don't mind sharing a bed). The kitchen is compact but had everything we needed for 3 breakfasts/2 dinners in over the weekend. Quality linens, comfortable beds. Easy to get here from Seattle. We were greeted by unseasonably warm weather and were happy to be able to dine alfresco and use the fire pit / stargaze one evening. This was our third stay at Colin's place (every other year across 5 years), and we plan to keep coming back. The owners have made incremental improvements/investments over the years and maintain the property well. Highly recommend - do me a favor and don't book the last weekend in February :)

A car is recommended for getting around. We're within driving distance of many local attractions—golfing at Kahler Mountain Club is only 12 minutes away, while Downtown Leavenworth is a 28-minute drive. The closest general /grocery store(s) Plain Hardware & Plain Grocery, are just a 7-minute drive. That said, there are many other great ways to navigate the area -- bring your bike(s), hiking shoes, snowmobile(s), skis, ATV and kayak(s), to Float, Hike, Walk, Ski etc.!
