Overall the stay was great! My only complaints are that the only bathroom was on the third floor, the hot tub tripped the breaker a couple times and there wasn’t a washer or dryer available on site. The place was very clean, comfortable and had an amazing view!

Rising Sun Retreat was relaxing

We wanted to get away for a few days and this was the perfect location. The property was as advertised. Beautiful accommodations, amenities, scenery, and easy access to the river. Overall the stay was exactly what the doctor ordered!

Great place on river

We enjoyed the natural beauty of the property. It really does feel like you are in a tree house. We also loved the hot tub on the deck. Listening to the river flow was relaxing.

The highlight, for me, was the location. Cascades towering above, stunning scenery everywhere. An amazing canyon in the neighborhood. The cabin was great. Hot tub was great. All good. Would definitely stay here again.

Secluded few days

Property was clean and equipped appropriately. Had trouble getting in but after a couple of calls host was able to give me the access code (which I had forgotten). Hot tub was very relaxing. Screen on bedroom had several slashes in it which made it unusable. Outside furniture and landscaping (access to river) hadn’t been tended to in quite sometime but wasn’t a dealbreaker. View to river was obstructed from lower porch and yard areas. Would still recommend this cabin for a secluded getaway.

charming cabin on the river

We very much enjoyed our stay. Only complaint would be some cobwebs in the bath and kitchen could use a few more additions like foil/baggies for take home. Otherwise lovely home and peaceful and tranquil setting

Peaceful and relaxing

Had a peaceful and relaxing stay. Hearing the river all day and night was great; wish more of the foliage was cut back so you could enjoy more of a view of the river throughout the property.

Perfect cabin

The rising sun was exactly what we were looking for. It was very clean and comfortable. Being able to sit out on the deck and look at the river was so relaxing. It was raining for our entire stay so we'll definitely be booking it again in the spring/summer so we can take advantage of everything the cabin has to offer.

Girls weekend

Not exactly what we were expecting but it turned out great! I haven't seen my sisters in 3 years so we decided to get together and have a girls weekend. This cabin was quiet and had the most beautiful views. We mostly hung out on the patio or outside. The hot tub was a nice feature. Be prepared though, there's only one bathroom and it's upstairs. The second bedroom is on ground level and not connected to the house. You have to walk outside, upstairs to the main house, then upstairs again for the bathroom. Very inconvenient. Overall our stay was wonderful.

Skykomish River Private Community

This 2BR cabin has stunning views of the Skykomish and of the Cascades. Great fire pit and hot tub. 3 decks, sunny in front overlooking Cascades and river raging in the back yard. The cabin is located in a private gated community with direct access to the river and nearby falls.

Another amazing experience

This is our 2nd time staying at a Tree Line property and both were exceptional. The cabins were spotless and well stocked with all the necessities as well as additional things like board games. I’ve been in direct contact with the staff on both occasions and they have been nothing but friendly and helpful. They will definitely be our first choice in the future.

Cabin needs curtains/blinds

One thing I didn’t like was not having blinds in the house. It felt like people were watching us.

Relaxing weekend

Had an incredible weekend at the cabin. Hot tub and views were great, coffee table was the perfect size for board games. A note for people with small children or dogs: there were loose aggressive dogs on the road near the house, assuming they live in a residence nearby. They were hostile to us and our dogs when we walked past. Be careful.
