Hi Muzithe, thanks so much for 5 stars on our Small Timbers! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cabin and look forward to welcoming you back. Happy trails!
This cabin is exactly as advertised...a great, relaxing place for a getaway. The view of the river and the mountains is spectacular. Sitting in the hot tub watching and listening to the the river roll by a real treat. The cabin is cozy, comfortable, and equipped with all the amenities you'll need. A first-rate experience!
Hi Cary! Thanks so much for 5 stars on our Small Timbers! We're thrilled to hear you had a great stay and hope to welcome you back in the future. Happy trails!
Absolutely peaceful, beautiful views, and a cozy cabin. The river was so peaceful. The kitchen was well stocked with needed flatware, pans, pots, even coffee, a variety of teas. The hot tub was so relaxing and perfect for taking in the scenery. Prior reviews mentioned the water smelling but we did not have any issues. Fire burner was perfect for the cold evenings. Only recommendation would be a throw blanket for the living room area. Beautiful waterfall on the way into the secluded area. Great location to get to Seattle, Mt Rainier, Northern Cascades and Mt Index. Further drive for Mt Olympus but worth it for Rialto Beach.
Beautiful property, nicely set up with everything you need. The view is wonderful! You do have to crouch to get to the top floor, my husband and I are tall so it was a bit tricky. Not as secluded as we thought with neighbors close by. The hot tub with a view was fantastic.

Hi Jenevieve! We're happy to hear you and your husband enjoyed our Small Timbers! If y'all are looking for a more secluded spot, we'd love to chat before your next stay so we can find you the ideal getaway. Until then, happy trails!
The view was great, and the hot tub was wonderful, though it took a while to figure out how to get all the jets going. I loved the wood-burning stove! They supplied fire-starting logs, but they were hard to get going. It was really cold, and the stove didn't provide enough heat, so we had to turn the heat up. No firewood was provided for the outdoor fire pit, so we ended up buying some, which wasn't a big deal, but we just assumed they would have supplied it. We will be back in the summer
the host was wonderful. we had some questions getting into the place and she was there EVERY step of the way. 10/10 would recommend. great host and beautiful place.
It was very clean the view was beautiful. At night the only way to warm the cabin was to build a fire. It was very generous of them to provide wood and we got more down the road. Additionally, the water had a terrible smell. We still showered, but used gallons for cooking.

Hi Gina, thanks for your review of our Small Timbers. We're glad to hear you had a great stay! Our cabin does indeed have electric heat, as there is a baseboard heater visible in photos just beside the woodstove and information on how to use it is present in the cabin. I apologize if the fresh water had an offputting smell - our water is completely potable, but comes from a well, so it may not be familiar to city water. Happy trails!
This place was great! I definitely recommend! The hot tub in the rain was very relaxing and the sound of the river was so calming!

Hi Kayla, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay at our Small Timbers, it's a lovely cabin to enjoy some time outdoors, especially in the hot tub! We hope you choose us again in the future!
The combination of the mountain view mixed with the calming flow of the river was absolutely perfect! Sitting on the deck or in the hottub was the perfect way to spend our evenings after a long day of hiking!

Hi Renae, we are so glad you enjoyed your time at our Small Timbers! We adore this home and its calming vibe and perfect views! We hope you choose us again in the future!
A really wonderful property! A cozy and tranquil place to relax and with great views. The amenities were amazing (hot tub, woodstove, etc.) and we had a very comfortable stay. The very friendly hosts were prompt with communication and the gated community was very quiet and serene (with a bonus waterfall).

We'd love to welcome you back in the future - we have 45+ cabins in the area and all would be wonderful options for an anniversary getaway!

This is the perfect spot to get away for an extended weekend. It's secluded and right on the river and forces you to slow down and relax. It's just what we needed.
The melting mountains have the river speed which was soothing compared to the hustle of the city

Sweet Getaway
The location of this little cabin couldn't be better. We thoroughly enjoyed the views of the mountains and river and would have been happy to stay put all weekend, but did venture out for a couple of hikes:) We hope to visit again and highly recommend this rental to others!
Quaint cabin with great views. We love coming to this area every year or so for an escape. We had some issues with the hot tub that made it difficult to use (would randomly spray water which would lead to us needing to get out) but otherwise was a great stay!

Heaven with a view
This place is absolutely beautiful! Everything went smooth from the booking and check in, to the stay and the departure. The view off the back deck is one of the most awe inspiring things i have ever seen. It is very cozy and comfortable especially with a fire in the wood burning stove. Thank you for the experience and hopefully when i am back on this side of the country I would stay here again.
Had an amazing time on our weekend getaway. What a charming and cozy cabin! We did not get to adventure as much as we wanted, but it rained like only it can in the PNW! Still gorgeous and relaxing! Thank you!
