Private View Home with Large Pool on 12 Acre Cherry Orchard.

Love the feel of this home. This is the type of vacation rental where you feel like your staying at your rich grandparents house. Has all the amenities and comforts you could ask for plus the farm house charm that brings you the extra relaxation. Due to the home design and location its highly recommend for family gatherings/reunions.

The party included two grandparents, six children, and 4 grandchildren (ages 2 yrs to 10 years). I am please to note that all interactions with the owner and/or property manger were cordial and attentive.

Located in the orchard country of East Wenatchee, WA this commodious farm house offers spectacular sunset views and extensive open space surrounding. All in the family would welcome the opportunity to return to this venue. Although the house is airconditioned, be prepared for hot times outside if you visit in July and August. Even though you are perched under one of the many umbrellas, the reflection around pool side can leave you with a burn.

Here are some things about the accommodations I would have preferred be otherwise:

--Water in the swimming pool is maintained (strictly) at 80 degrees - a temperature not cool enough for most of us to feel refreshed. I much preferred a dip in the nearby Columbia River, however, ready access was challenging.

--Most of the closets were filled with miscellaneous clothing, hats, and footwear that I assume was discarded or forgotten by previous visitors. Begging lingering questions about sanitation and odor, most of us were left with no place to stow our gear but on top of our luggage.

--A similar situation was manifest in the kitchen cabinets and refrigerators. These were filled with an array of codiments, seasonings, dry-goods, frozen foods, and staples most of which were undated or of unknown quality. At a grocery store I would never select for my personal consumption or use a jar of mayonnaise that had been opened, a half empty shampoo bottle, or a broken box of crackers. Who knows what might actually be in there?

--And again...the poolside shed was jammed with miscellaneous garden tools, inflatables, outdoor equipment, riding toys, canoes, bicycles, deck furniture, etc. - and some of it was damaged or in questionable operating condition. I ventured into the maelstrom only once.

--The visitor's manual contains a cautionary note about the care and use some brightly colored "antique" plates, cups, and bowls that are prominently displayed in a cabinet beside the kitchen sink - the implication being that these items are much valued, hard to find, and expensive to replace. Of course we never open said cabinet for fear of damage, loss, or shunning. In the absence of a generous supply of inexpensive, easily replaceable plastic plates, dishes and cups we struggled with paper goods.

The Farm House feels like home and we didn’t want to leave. House and yard are beautiful with lots of nice sitting areas. A beautiful view of the Columbia River and the mountains from the decks, yard, and house.

Kitchen is well-outfitted, and the second fridge was a life saver.

Nice soaps for face and hands in bathrooms, plus lotion.

The many toys, games, bikes and pool kept the kids busy and happy.

Very convenient walk down the property to the paved trail along the river.

This is the 2nd time myself and 7 of my girlfriends stayed at the “Farm House” for a girls golf trip in and around Wenatchee. We spent most of the time on the front deck or around the pool when we weren’t golfing. The setting is spectacular and we will be back!

Our family had a wonderful time at the Farm House. The owner is very helpful and thoughtful. The home is beautiful with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and sitting areas, plenty of activity items available for use and a quiet, relaxing yard. There is an amazing view of the river with easy access to the bike trail. We would highly recommend this home to others.
