Overview
House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 7)
Spectacular all round views from this ranch style cabin in the beautiful Tunk Valley -- a little known piece of rustic countryside bordering the Okanogan National Forest, northeast of Omak and near the small town of Riverside.
Enjoy nature from this luxury cabin and wrap-around porch. A birdwatcher's paradise the Tunk Valley also offers breathtaking views, hiking local forest trails, mountain biking the quiet country roads, fishing at Crawfish Lake, and wildlife viewing from the cabin, in the valley, and at the Tunk Valley Wildlife Area. It also offers just living with a frontier feel.
In summer the land is a sea of color from the grasses and wild flowers, and with the backdrop of mountains and dramatic skyscapes the cabin is a nature artists dream. An easel is provided in the main bedroom, inspiration is provided all around.
In winter the surrounding area offers cross-country and backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing. The cabin is five miles from Crawfish Lake, which usually freezes hard enough to snowmobile, ski or skate on. Local skiing areas include Loup Loup Pass and Havillah, both about one hours drive away.
For those not wishing to drive the cabin sits on 20 acres of private land, where guests are free to wander. A walk around the perimeter is three quarters of a mile.
The cabin itself is at an elevation of around 3,000 feet, and stays a bit cooler than down in the valley. The main floor has a gorgeous living room with a gas cast iron stove for those cozy evenings. There is a large fully equipped kitchen and dining area, and a private master bedroom with bathroom. Upstairs it has two large bedrooms, and a full bathroom. A huge detached double garage is also available.
The cabin is approximately 14 miles from the historic country town of Riverside and the Okanogan River, nearby towns include Omak, Okanogan and Tonasket. The Many Lakes Recreational Area offers many summer activities for boaters and fishermen. Local events include the Omak Stampede and other county fairs. Easy day trips include the Tunk Valley Wildlife Area, the Stonerose Fossil beds, the state park and historical sites at Conconully, the sparkling and unspoilt Omak Lake, the ghost town of Molson, the Loomis National Forest, the Methow Valley, and the North Cascades National Park.

About The Owner
I live and work in Seattle as a writer. My wife is a graphic designer, our three kids go to local elementary, middle and high schools. We have been customers of VRBO cabin owners across the West for many years, and decided this was a good way to occassionally rent out our own cabin. We use our cabin regularly as an escape from the big city. We love the space, the peace, and the great outdoors that the Okanogan has to offer.
The Owner purchased this house in 2008
Why The Owner chose North Central Cascades
Peace and tranquility. Wilderness views in all directions, and great access to the wild outdoors.
What makes this house unique
Great air quality. Early morning sunshine. Forests, rivers and lakes in several directions. Wildlife is around.

MICE and dog SMELL
Tons of mice and mice poop in the home and rooms. Beds are old and dirty and the animal smell from pets allowed in the rental property was terrible. Lots of dog hair on the carpet and rugs.
Quiet and Beautiful
We so enjoyed our time here. We couldn't get over the peace and quiet. Loved the wide open views. The home was extremely comfortable and had anything you may need. Lovely!
Exactly as advertised. Quiet and comfortable.
Made for a great vacation. Lots of wildlife and great views.
The Branches
We loved our stay at the Ranch Style Cabin. We had wonderful views all around the wrap around patio of mountains and rolling hills. We went for walks down the dirt road and enjoyed the sunshine streaming into the windows in the morning. The only downside was the need to keep mice out of the house, which we found it was apparent they were there.
Thank you,
Absolutely tranquil and relaxing!
This was a magnificent home with stunning views in every direction! I love how peaceful and quiet it is. This is the perfect getaway if you want to unwind and get away from it all. The wrap around porch is amazing and was perfect for that morning cup of coffee! We even had snow in April.
We will definitely be back and would recommend this property to anyone looking to get a break from the hustle and bustle of every day life.
A true getaway
It has been a few weeks since we've stayed at this Tunk Valley Cabin outside of Omak and it's still on our minds. We've stayed at many vacation homes and cabins and have never experienced one like this before. It was a special place and we were able to really get away from it all and relax there. The landscape and views are stunning and the area is fun to explore.
We saw so many pretty birds and wildlife (a bear and a moose included!) and came back with great memories and pictures. Besides the home itself, going up to Crawfish Lake was our favorite experience there. It is a beautiful, peaceful lake where you can picnic, walk around, read, relax etc.
There are lots of roads in the area to explore.
The house has the comforts of home and then some. It is very clean and well-maintained. The bed and furniture were comfortable.
The deck is incredible. When we weren't out exploring it's where we spent most of our time. It's a jackpot for dogs too, so much land to explore and then plop down on the deck and relax when they are tired out.
We wanted a private place where we could tune the world out for a bit and this was it. It is not completely secluded in that there is a neighbor's house visible in the distance, but it felt secluded because there is so much space between you.
We definitely want to go back again! I'm so glad we found it and decided to stay there. Thank you to the owner for having this home available for others to experience and enjoy.
