Another amazing stay!
This is our group’s 3rd time staying at Darby’s beautiful home over the last 5 years or so. We keep coming back because the home is always clean, well-equipped with water toys, games, and kiddo supplies, and being close to other attractions makes it a real perk now that our kids are getting older. Darby’s communication is always prompt and effective. Thanks Darby for welcoming your home to our crew!

Perfect family getaway
We absolutely love Sunken Acres! This was our second time booking and once again we were not disappointed. We enjoyed every amenity! From the lake, the pool, the paddle boards, peddle boat, to the large screen TV for movie nights. This place truly has everything to keep a family entertained for days! The house is completely stocked, there wasn't one thing we needed they didn't have. Working with Darby is a delight, very communicative and accommodating. We're hoping to come back next year!

Gorgeous setting!
God provided gorgeous weather the entire week. The pool and river were the highlight. We had a few family members who never left the pool side, and most of the younger ones (under 55) never left the dock and our ski boat. Our youngest son ran 5 tanks of gas skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing them in his boat. Lake Entiat at this spot was very private, which was wonderful.

Perfect property and location in every way.
Without doubt, our stay at Sunken Acres Estates exceeded our expectations. The house design is perfectly laid out to accommodate a large family gathering, and there is plenty to do for everyone of any age. The large kitchen is stocked better than anything else we have ever rented, and we did not feel cramped when several people were preparing meals at the same time. There is a large, outdoor gas grill we used to cook all our meals, and the indoor dining area easily accommodates a large crowd. The beds and bedding were very comfortable, the bathrooms large and beautifully designed, and all of the bedrooms have very ample space to move around in. The huge upstairs bunkroom is well thought out, with plenty of toys, even for our toddler. The outside setting is idyllic as it overlooks the Columbia River and surrounding hills. Our crew was able to catch a few fish by throwing lines off the boat dock, and all of the river water toys are easily accessible and in great condition. The pool is a perfect temperature, and has a volleyball net which we used every day. Best of all, the beautifully landscaped, huge yard has a trampoline, playhouse, sandbox and separate soccer/football field. In case you are interested, we rented a boat from John at Riverside Recreation conveniently located down the road at Lincoln State Park. The boat worked well and the pickup and drop off was very easy. The dock at Sunken Acres is deep enough to tie off at, and the water, although quite chilly, was extremely calm while we were there and very swimmable. Lastly, I want to give a huge shout-out to our host, Darby. Her prompt communication and organization of the property made our trip stress-free. Everything in the house is labeled with clear-cut instructions on how to locate what you need, how to use it, and where to stow it. Kudos to all of the time and effort you put in to make our stay so enjoyable!! My entire family all said they would love to come back!

Family favorite
This is the second time we stayed at Sunken Acres and by far this is our family’s favorite vacation destination. The property has everything. Our family age range is 6-66 with 5 teenagers and all had a great time. Perfect location to bring the boat with their own boat ramp and dock. Makes it easy to be tubing in no time. The pool is perfect when done out on the lake. Darby is awesome to work with. They did this place right. Would love to come back. 😊

This was a great family vacation home! From the very beginning Darby was fantastic to work with. The whole process of checking in and out was also seamless. We spent a ton of time on the Lake with our sons new boat and enjoyed a lot of relaxing time in the pool. This home has it all! Great water toys were included in the rental and the convenience of the large level yard and dock was a huge plus for all! Definitely a nice sized home for large family gatherings!

Amazing getaway!
This is our second year renting this wonderful property. Darby is a wonderful host and excellent communicator, answering any and all questions promptly. Our group of 7 adults and 7 children enjoyed every inch of the property, indoors and out, and never felt cramped because of the ample space. The pool was enjoyed daily and we all fully appreciated the water "toys" (SUP, kayaks, etc) available to us. The kitchen is well stocked and the kids LOVED their bunk room. Most importantly, the home was well cleaned and equipped for all of us. Looking forward to staying here again. Thanks Darby for sharing your lovely home with us!

Three generations of fun!!
Second time staying at Sunken Acres and it was even better than the first time! With the kids being older, they took advantage of the water toys available and took the kayaks out to the little island a few times. This house is set up perfectly for large groups (especially the large table that easily fit all 16 of us.) Plenty of toys and activities and the kids love the pool and the big yard! Check in was a breeze and Darby is wonderful to work with. She was very quick to respond when we had a couple of questions and we were able to work through the issue. It is always hard to leave when our week is over. We are already thinking about next year :)

Exceeded expectations
Not sure where to start. This was by far the best vacation our family has been on. Sunken Acres is even better than described. Pictures on line do not do it justice. The home is first rate. There is nothing we would change. Working with Darby was a Joy. If we could give greater than 5 stars to any location this would be the one. The only thing we did wrong was to buy too much food for the week. 😊. There is no question we would like to come back to Sunken Acres. Thank you Darby. Your house is awesome.

Our multi-family group had such a blast from the moment we stepped onto the property. We had 5 kids under 7 years old and especially loved the care and attention Darby took to ensure the house was safe for them. We all loved the pool, the numerous water toys, the movie room, and the spacious tables both inside and out for us to all enjoy our meals together. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. We loved every moment of our trip. Darby is a joy to work with - flexible, thoughtful, and caring especially during these uncertain and unpredictable times.

About the host

Hosted by Darby

Host profile image
We are Washington State natives and owner's of a residential construction company. We have three young children and a desire to raise our children with an appreciation for family, community and faith in God. We built this home purely so we could could enjoy time with our family, friends and invite others into community with us.

This property has been a blessing to us. We are thrilled to be able to make it available to others so that they might have the opportunity to connect with family and friends in the same way we have.

Why they chose this property

This property is suitably named "Sunken Acres" because it is actually 12 acres, however, today only 2 1/2 acres remain above the water. Lake Entiat (also called Rocky Reach Reservoir) was formed following the building of the Rocky Reach Dam in 1962.

We were in search of the perfect property - not only for our family, but a place where our friends and community could all come together to connect and build memories.

We fell in love with property first and foremost because of its breathtaking waterfront location on a private little cove and the proximity to Seattle. Only 2 1/2 hours drive, it is easy to make the trip for a weekend getaway. The location boasts the amazing seasons of Eastern Wa with lots of snow in the winter and plenty of sun in the summer. We love that we can play there all year around!

The original property had a rambler that had been completely gutted and was condemned. We decided to start over and design & build an amazing home that captured the views and was specifically designed for hosting large groups.

What makes this property unique

- Your very own private boat launch and dock. No need to make a special trip to a state park to launch.
- All water toy use is included in your rental: Tandem kayaks, youth kayaks, adult SUPs, youth SUPs, paddle boat and canoe.
- Centrally location between Lake Chelan, Wenatchee and Leavenworth makes the estate a perfect location for taking in all of the Eastern Wa sights and activities. But we warn you, you may not want to leave the estate once you get there!

• 10 minute drive to Wenatchee stores and restaurants including Costco, Fred Meyer, Safeway, Bass Outdoor Shop, and the Wenatchee Valley Mall.
• Short drive to Bear Mountain Ranch Golf Course (Chelan), minutes away from Desert Canyon Golf Course (Orondo) and Highlander Golf Club (East Wenatchee).
• Minutes from outdoor hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking and cross-country skiing areas
• Many neighboring wineries in the Chelan, Wenatchee, Cashmere and Leavenworth areas
• 20 miles from Mission Ridge ski resort
• 30 miles from Leavenworth
• 40 minutes from Chelan & Slidewaters waterslide park
• Neighboring historic fruit stand selling local fruit, produce, flowers and gifts (open May – Sept.)
• 10 miles from Rocky Reach Dam and Visitors Center offering free dam tours and a museum suitable for all ages
