About this property

Riverfront Paradise w/ Hot Tub--Little River House

Welcome to the Little River House -- your slice of riverfront paradise. Located right off Highway 2 just 30 minutes from Stevens Pass Ski Resort, this home in Gold Bar, WA (aka "Gateway to the Cascades") is just minutes from hiking, kayaking, fishing, and so much more. Gaze at the stars from the hot tub or relax in the riverside hammock. Enjoy the brand new deck, fire pit, and outdoor games. We can't wait to share this lovely riverfront mountain retreat with you!

The space
Our 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home can host up to 9 people and is perfect for families or a group of friends. Enjoy the amazing sounds of the rushing Skykomish River and breath taking views of the Cascade Mountains right from the backyard.

Our backyard is equipped with everything you need to maximize the fun — including yard games, corn hole, a horse shoe pit, and ring toss. The backyard also includes a large fire pit (BYO firewood), which is perfect for roasting marshmallows with friends and family. After a long day of skiing or hiking, relax and unwind in our hot tub. In the morning, enjoy a hot coffee from our riverside lounge chairs and wave to the kayakers floating by!

We provide a fully stocked kitchen with everything from pots/pans to spices in order to give you all the comforts of home! You can even make yourself a backyard picnic with our state-of-the-art grill located on our BRAND NEW massive deck. Both the indoor and outdoor dining tables are perfect for the entire group, seating up to 8 people each.

Our master bedroom features 1 queen size bed with a cozy comforter and plenty of throw blankets to make sure you stay warm during ski season! It also features a reading nook with a comfy chair that looks out over the river. Unwind at night with a smart TV equipped with all of your favorite streaming apps.

The second bedroom also features 1 queen bed and a smart TV.

Our 3rd bedroom includes a bunk bed with 1 double bed on the bottom and 1 twin bed on the top.

Our home is equipped with high speed wifi, which is perfect for those working from home or streaming from several devices at once.

At this time, although the views are spectacular, there is no path currently down to the river from our backyard. There is access to the river within walking distance (0.2 miles) at Big Eddy Public Water Access.

    Loved waking up to mountain and river view, loved that the backyard was set up to relax and enjoy for everyone. The adults were able to relax in the hot tub and could keep an eye on the kids making s'mores at the fire pit. The host was amazing at communicating before, during, and even sent a nice "thank you" after. Would definitely stay again, next time we're in the area

    I chose this rental primarily for two reasons - the fabulous view and the large table for playing games. The house is very well equipped. Kitchen has a lot of supplies, some spices and coffee supplies, NICE plates and glasses, etc. They have towels handy by the patio door for hot tub users.Scott is, hands down, the most responsive VRBO host I've ever had. He was proactive, checking how we were doing on the first day. He responded quickly to texts.The main down side for us was the cramped bathrooms. But you don't spend much time there. All the other rooms felt quite spacious.
