Harmony - Happiness - Healing & Heartfelt. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful place. We enjoyed a wonderful 8-mile snowshoe trek to Copper Creek Hut near Paradise. We carved turns for a day, taking in clear views from White Pass Ski Resort. Hung out by the fire, playing guitar by the fire, making sushi and soaking in the hot tub. Time stood still for the weekend and friendship blossomed.

Thanks for a most wonderful second visit to your lovely retreat! Again we were touched by the warmth and welcoming touches of this place. The care and generosity you pour into Harmony is evident all around. We feel very lucky to have spent Thanksgiving 2011 here! What a beautiful time of year on the lake. We cannot wait to experience the summer sun next year. Hopefully we will return prior to that. We always leave feeling relaxed and renewed. Thank you!

This place is perfect! The hot tub and fireplace and proximity to the lake made it one of the most relaxing and romantic mini vacations i have ever been on. I could not have asked for a better deal on the house for the 3 nights we stayed. I would recommend this to all my friends and family and to anyone thinking about staying here. I cant wait to come back and stay longer next time. :)

We had a wonderful time. I came with the intention of catching up on some work away from the office; that didn't work out too well. Seems I was so comfortable and relaxed all weekend, I caught up on some relaxation and rest instead. The house was so comfortable I didn't think of anything but "relax and enjoy," "relax and enjoy." Many thanks for sharing this wonderful retreat.

Thank you for another great stay at your home. This time it was just our family and we enjoyed the quiet serenity. Favorite memories include boating and tubing in the lake, visiting Mt. St. Helens, nights in the hot tub and around the firepit, and our evening walks around the neighborhood. Above all, watching our children play and relaxing as a family was priceless!

Thank you so much for everything. This was very relaxing for the whole family, and the view was really amazing. We made great memories and cherished every moment of this retreat. It was an awesome way for a summer vacation to just get away and the best part was that everyone had a complete blast. The adults and kids always had something to do. Thanks for letting us have an opportunity to relax and have a great time. Hope to be back again soon!

We spent a few relaxing days here and wish we had more time. The place is beautiful. We especially love the yard and landscaping. My husband went fishing with a guide on the Cowlitz River and came back with three huge steelhead trout -- he caught two and the guide gave him one he caught too. We also drove to Mt. Rainier and walked around at Paradise. It was a beautiful day with clear skies, so we were able to see the top! On the drive back, we had a clear view of Mt. St. Helens for part of the drive. We took lots of photos. Thanks for the opportunity to explore the area!

Harmony Retreat has provided us a wonderful vacation getaway. We were so pleased to find that a less than 2 hour drive from Portland, OR gave us the relaxing escape to little Mossyrock, WA. We have been able to get away from the hustle, bustle & noise... something we truly came to appreciate over the course of our stay here. The scenery outdoors is gorgeous and the home here is cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed the private hot tub (especially after a day of golf!). My husband & I celebrated a wonderful anniversary of 5 years while here. We can't think of a better way to renew and relax than being here. We hope to visit again!

Harmony retreat --- what a treat!

Guest: New Jersey guest (NJ)
Date of Stay: 12/23/10 Review Submitted: 01/15/11

You can make things really look good on paper. That is what I thought when I read about the Harmony Retreat and looked at the accompanying pictures. It all sounded and looked just too good to be true for a really affordable price. When I started communicating with the owners, once again, it was all so perfect, which added to my suspiciousness. What’s the catch? Well, in our experience, there was no catch what so ever. All was even more perfect than expected and exactly tailored to our needs. When we arrived a nicely decorated, warm, and fully lit house greeted us from the outside. Upon entering the string of positive surprises mostly conveyed through tasteful details left no doubts that we made the right decision in choosing the Harmony Retreat as our holiday (Christmas) retreat for reconnecting, celebrating, relaxing and rejuvenating. Everything was wonderful except for the weather (for which I cannot blame the owners). But the house, the atmosphere, and the peaceful surroundings made even up for this. My three grown-up children and myself enjoyed our stay tremendously. We can highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates a spacious, clean, welcoming retreat amidst beautiful nature

Thank you for letting us use your lovely house. It was a nice place to come back and relax at after being out on the water fishing. The deck is lovely and a great place to sit and relax while taking in the scenery or the stars. From the deck, we saw the aurora borealis -- beautiful white flashes of light... very memorable! The rope swing at the "secret" dock is really fun too. Much thanks!
