About this property

Luxury Cabin Retreat ON the River - Complete Renovation - Perfectly Located

WELCOME!! WE PROMISE this will be the BEST rental property you have stayed at. We have heard it from most of our guests. Enjoy this beautiful top to bottom renovation resulting in a cabin equipped with luxury details and amenities. The Blackburn River House is a stylishly crafted one-of-a-kind cabin perched ON the banks of the Wenatchee River. Boasting unparalleled views and cozy inviting interiors, this home is perfect for creating lasting memories. A peaceful mountain retreat with easy access to charming Leavenworth, Vail-owned Steven's Pass Ski Resort and a bounty of local wineries. This chalet style home offers luxury amenities and enough personality to make you feel immediately at home. Step outside to the over-sized deck or spend an evening lounging in the hot tub or by the firepit and you'll never want to leave.

The main floor features a brand new chef's kitchen with all new Bosch stainless steel appliances (including the all-important gas range) and every tool imaginable to create a perfect meal. If you’re feeling rustic, a working cast-iron stove is a fun treat for capable chefs and adds a dose of added warmth to the room. Enjoy your meals in the beautiful dining area surrounded by windows and seating for eight guests or when weather permits enjoy the brand new Weber gas grill and outdoor seating (also for 8).

The main floor master bedroom features an en suite bath with custom tile shower and plenty of privacy. The cozy family room boasts an impressive wood-burning fireplace to keep you warm as you watch the snow fall through the trees. Guitars, games, books, puzzles and multiple streaming services are on-hand for those chilly nights at home.

Upstairs you'll find a second master suite with a stunning vaulted ceiling and an attached sink area. Opposite from the master is a large ‘bunk room’ with twin over queen bunk beds and an extra twin for your little adventurers. The ‘nook’ is a cozy little bedroom preferred by kids – in large part due to its ladder access to the magical play loft above. The upstairs bedrooms share a renovated bathroom including a spa tub and free-standing shower.

Inspired by our family’s time spent living abroad in Austria, the United Kingdom and Australia – the Blackburn River House offers the comforts of home, the magic of a treehouse built for grown-ups and kids to explore and the escapism that a riverside retreat in the magical Cascades brings. Decorated in the style of a cozy, English hunting lodge meets a Seattle-ites favorite bookstore, the Blackburn River House offers year-round fun, adventure and unlimited relaxation both inside and out.

The Blackburn River House is a quick 3-minute drive from the little village of Plain (including Plain Cellars Winery, Just Plain Grocery, Plain Hardware and The Old Mill Café). Plain is also known for its many miles of cross-country ski trails, proximity to Lake Wenatchee State Park and even an 18-hole golf course in nearby Kahler Glen. The property itself is located on a private road in the community of Alpine Acres, neighbored by a friendly local church and another acre of community-owned green space.

Whether it’s a jumping off point and apres ski destination for a day at Steven’s pass, a destination for a family gathering or a place for a luxurious peaceful respite, the Blackburn offers unparalleled natural beauty, warmth and rustic, yet finely crafted charm.

* An endless supply of pre-split and seasoned firewood

Wonderful Getaway
This house was great - the kitchen had everything we needed and more (unlike many rentals this was a joy to cook in). We loved the hot tub and being by the river. The house was very close to the center of Plain - which was handy but we didn't realize that when we booked. The beds were comfortable - the bunk room and the little bedroom are connected from the loft. We're already planning on returning!

Another great stay in an outstanding accommodations.
We could not have had a better time. Family was sad to leave such a comfortable and well decorated cabin. Had everything we needed more and provided a great place to hang out when we weren’t out and about five stars all the way and love the hosts accommodations and considerations.

About the host

Hosted by Kristina Simpson

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 who live in Seattle. Andy is originally from England and Kristina is from Oklahoma. We have lived in Colorado, California, Arizona, Georgia, New York, Australia, England, Oklahoma, Iowa and Washington. We love to travel and have been to nearly every continent. We stumbled upon this cabin in January 2020 and purchased the property one week before the CoVid shutdown. This cabin was our family's CoVid project and we enjoyed every minute of restoring her! We have traveled to many vacation properties over the years and would often find ourselves frustrated that there were so few amenities in the house or an understocked kitchen that required we buy/bring everything. Therefore, we strive to give every guest a vacation where you don't have to worry about having everything with you. We provide games, books, puzzles, entertainment, sleds, record player, firewood, stocked kitchen and so much more.

Why they chose this property

You'll find charm, character and attention to detail at every turn!

What makes this property unique

The Blackburn River House is literally ON the river. While many cabins are close to the river, you'll enjoy the magic of being literally right up against the water.
