The River House ~ Maple Valley

Stargazing at its best. Kick back & relax in this calm and peaceful escape while listening to the sound of the Cedar River whilst in the hot tub! The River House is a very special & healing place to recharge, have a romantic getaway or simply spend time with those important to you. Work from home? Work here in our dedicated office & then relax the night away. Come and make some great memories! Enjoy plenty of hiking, skiing & swimming nearby. Located 30 miles from Seattle, WA.

The cottage is 1100 square feet. There are three floors in total. The Main floor consists of the master bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living and dining rooms. The Loft on the 2nd floor is equipped with a full size futon that comfortably sleeps 1 adult or two children (special requests only). The 3rd floor (we call it the Birds Nest) is on the top floor. The Birds Nest has a perfect view of the river and you can hear it rushing by. It can only be accessed via the Loft and while there is a long stairway that lends privacy, there is no door. There is a window AC unit in the Bird’s Nest because it can get hot in that space during the summer & there is a mini-split system for the lower floor (one in the primary bedroom & 1 in the main living area). The space is ideal for 1-4 people as the Loft is a great gathering place. The Loft doors can be closed for full privacy to separate the main floor from the upper floors. There are 3 Smart TV's in the home, one on each floor. The kitchen is ready for you to whip up amazing meals & create your favorite drinks. Don't forget to sign the guestbook and reflect on your time here. We'd love to share in the memory with you and I am sure that future guests will no doubt be inspired!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

In the middle of a hectic time, this wonderful, peaceful place was sheer BLISS to come back to each night. While there, I learned I have breast cancer, and the gentle sound of the river flowing by kept me sane those first few days. Everything we could possibly need was there, which was a huge comfort.

From the second we walked we, we were in love! Everything was perfect! The kitchen was fully stocked with things we didn’t even think we would need, but did. The river front was hands down my favorite part and I enjoyed the peaceful early mornings drinking coffee and listening to the river. We saw deer, hawks, squirrels and rabbits. Sarah is an absolutely wonderful host and cannot wait to stay there again. Thank you Sarah for everything!

Unique Riverside Stay

We were in Maple Valley for a wedding and this was such a fun spot. We took advantage of swimming and tubing down the river and the hot tub! There were 2 rooms with a bed each (top floor and bottom floor) and a middle floor with a 3rd sleeping area that had a push down futon and extra bedding and pillows. Cool place to stay! Definitely recommend.

Adorable spot- great scenery!

We absolutely loved this place. The river was so lovely and we really liked the cover over the hot tub for when it rained. Great amenities and really appreciated the snack basket. Make sure to bring a sleep mask though because it is bright upstairs! I would totally book this home again.

Our family of 3 (with 4-year-old son) enjoyed every second we spent at The River House! The Bird’s Nest was the most popular sleeping nook, the hot tub soothed our road-weary bodies, the river was serene and the neighborhood was quiet and the location perfect for our getaway. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking implements, the beds were comfy, the string lights on the back patio provided lovely ambiance, and I’m sure if we’d have been able to make use of the fire pit next to the river it would have been fun making s’mores. Our kiddo had a blast casting his fishing pole into the river (as did I), and he thoroughly enjoyed throwing rocks into the deeper parts. During an early morning, we were witness to a flock of Canadian Geese with their goslings floating down the current, headed by a single grey duck. The Husband and I are already reviewing our calendars to see when we can do the 2,000 miles to stay again, just us. Meeting Sarah right as we were heading back home was also a treat, as we were able to tell her in person how lovely her home was and how much we enjoyed our too-short time there. We absolutely cannot wait to return!

Peaceful Secluded Getaway

This place was the perfect stay for our long weekend getaway. It was close to where we wanted to explore, while still being serene and secluded as we came back to unwind. We had booked our days solid with plans, but enjoyed our time there so much we wound up staying in each evening to soak it all in! The place has all of the necessities, along with fun extras like the hot tub, fire pit(s), a plethora of games, etc. Attention to spare items like toiletries, coffee, baggies, laundry and other supplies was also appreciated as we didn’t need to rush to the store for incidentals. The place is clean, comfortable and calming. From the time of booking to checkout (which was a breeze), Sarah was incredibly attentive and communication excellent. We will be back!

Winter at the River House

Beautiful little house deep in the woods. Extremely quiet and peaceful but still does have some nice shops/food close by. Loved the crows nest bedroom and of course the hot tub. Don't miss taking a quick dip in the cold river before jumping back in the warm water. Would stay again anytime.

We just stayed for a few short days but man how we wish we could have stayed longer! It was a difficult decision each day trying to decide if we were going to go into Seattle and explore or just relax at home in the wonderful property.
