Perfect for a weekend getaway. Easy check in/check out, very clean and cozy, great Wi-Fi (which was very surprising), essentials available. Beautiful view of the lake. Will definitely be returning one day!
Pretty cute rustic cabin close to the lake and not too far from Plain or Leavenworth. The microwave didn’t work and most of the dishes were dirty when we got there and unfortunately the lighter for the bbq was empty. Location near the lake was amazing and the cabin worked well for two people with a dog.

Wonderful cabin stay!
We loved our time at the Sweet Retreat! A great place, just a short walk from Lake Wenatchee. Bring your floaties and maybe some camping chairs to relax next to the peaceful lake. We did run out of garbage liners during our stay, but other then that the house was well equipped for all our cooking needs. Thanks for a great place to stay!

PEACEFUL PLACE
Very cute little cabin, well stocked with everything you would need for basics. The “dock” needs some repairs/replacement and the BBQ needs to be replaced, but other than that, it was a great getaway. If you go, be sure to hike to Hidden Lake!! Short drive, beautiful hike & a very peaceful place!! Had a great time here!!

A nice relaxing stay.
I really enjoyed my time at this cabin. The easement trail down to the water was fabulous. My dogs and I swam down there every day. I wish that the dock had not been pulled up already, but that’s OK. It was clean, quiet, and well described on the website. However, I think that, the website photos should be updated.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was very cozy and rustic with a great view of the
lake. We loved the beach too. We also enjoyed the hike to Hidden Lake.
The stairs were more manageable than expected. The dining room light was out. But other than that, it was a perfect little get away in early October.

Interesting stay
Interesting cabin. The loft/sleeping area is accessible for only the brave. The bathroom/shower are a bit tight. Be careful of the deck railing. The cabin is also 30 minutes or so from a grocery store.
The gas grill is awesome. The kitchen and living space were both very nice. Vacasa was a great rental agency to work with!

Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
**Do not stay here by yourself especially as a woman**On my second morning multiple trucks pulled into the driveway boxing my vehicle in. A lady saying she was from Vacasa said the owner wanted the cable fixed and that’s what they were there for and said they didn’t know it was being rented. I told them to leave - this is a remote cabin and to have multiple people show up unannounced for a non emergency was scary and not okay.Per both VRBO and Vacasa this was against their own policies. Tracy from Vacasa claimed she didn’t know there was a renter, however she had my phone number and my name. She had no uniform or identifier that she was an employee. Trying to get in touch with anyone local after proved impossible. I did not sleep that night and ended my stay early. Tracy also failed to respond to my questions regarding the situation. Now I’m left wondering if I would have been gone already if they would have entered the property without me knowing. This situation ruined a very needed vacation. The listing itself is not very accurate. The main bedroom is the one with bunk beds, not the loft. The lofts stairs are very sketchy and I wouldn’t want to sleep up there. It’s a great location, the cabin seems to have been updated and some of the old concerns have been fixed. The grounds had a bunch of trash mixed in with snow, some of the stairs up to the cabin are loose. For a cabin on the lake it’s fine as long as you don’t get unannounced visitors.

Cozy Cabin
Quiant, cozy cabin. Tidy and neat. Loved the amount of hooks to hang towels, coats, caps and wet clothes. Please ask for clarification on where to access the lake shore, because I forgot to ask before hand, and it is definitely canoe friendly. It is literally across the road from the cabin, down a quick path. Would appreciate the windows screens to be updated, because there were so many mosquitoes during our Summer stay, and of course extra airflow would help to keep cool. And you may or may not have little froggies pop through your shower drain. They were very cute, but it was a bit surprising. All appliances worked well, clean linens, towels and floors. Hotel style mini shampoo/lotions were lovely. Hot water during showers that lasted for multiple people. Overall enjoyed our stay, and would love to come again.

Fourth of July
I was looking for quiet on the 4th of July, as my dog is extremely frightened of fireworks. Mission accomplished! However, I would not feel good about having kids in the cabin as the deck is in bad shape and the loft railing is not secure. The stairs are pretty scary. The beds, furniture, and appliances were very nice. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Enjoyed the stay!

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay! Our maintenance staff has inspected the cabin's deck and has ensured that it is safe, it is just a bit older. They are going to inspect the railing in the loft to make sure that it is safe! Thank you for bringing this to our attention, this helps us improve the home for our future guests!
We had a great stay at the Sweet Retreat! The cabin is a nice home base for spending all day on the lake. It looks to be well loved and is in need of a few fixes but nothing that detracted from the stay for us. It had everything we needed. Plenty of beds and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. It was hot out so the cabin got pretty warm but there was a fan that helped to keep it adequately cool. The deck is nice but the mosquitoes were out in full force, lol, so we didn't get to enjoy it as much as we would have liked. We came for the lake and it did not disappoint! The walk to the lake is easy, even loaded down with bags. The scenery is beautiful. We really enjoyed this property!
This little cabin was a gem! We had a great stay. There were plenty of beds (6 + couch), lots of clean towels and blankets, and kitchen had all the pots, pans and utensils needed. The water access was amazing and we loved kayaking all around that beautiful lake.
The only upgrades that would make it even better are ...
-Stair rail is loose (I thought the stairs to the loft were fine, but the railing was loose).
-The screen door was torn and with all the mosquitos it really needed to not be.
-The coffee pot lid was missing a piece and the coffee took over 2 hours to brew and not very tasty.

Nice place with just one problem
I really enjoyed my stay, but the staird to the top floor are very dangerous. I tripped and fell a couple times. This kind of stairs should be forbiden. It is impossible for old people to use, and very dangerous for kids.

Relaxing
This was meant to be a trip to relax and keep things low key, and it was. The cabin was clean, and had a lot of dishware and utensils to use. There were a couple things that we should mention. There was a dead mouse on the kitchen floor when we came in. Could have nothing to do with cleanliness, might have just been getting out of the rain. Also, the trail to the lake wasn't very cleared or maintained, so we didn't go down to check it out. Overall we had a good stay.

Overall good location excellent views everything that could be needed to prepare meals and store food adequate heat sources the only complaint is the lack of adequate sleeping options for couples of who do not have children one request would be more comfortable sleeping options for the lower level ie a daybed with a slide out underneath or a Murphy bed that could be stored against the wall instead of the bunk bed it just doesn't serve the purpose when the only other option is a windy spiral staircase to reach the beds of decent size that are on the floor which is also a difficulty for most people to get up from and climbing stairs like this is difficult

Cozy, clean cabin experience
Cozy Cabin Retreat is the perfect blend of cozy and rustic! We were happy to discover the beds were clean and that towels were provided. The kitchen comes fully stocked with meal preparation essentials; however, there is no ventilation hood over the range. The only drawback was that we couldn't use the wood stove, but that's not really their fault because the snowpack brought down the chimney. The trail to the lake access is right across the street and the area is absolutely beautiful! We also happened to leave behind some personal items and Vacasa customer service helped track them down to ship to us. We are very thankful for the help!
