Amazing family getaway

Our family with 3 teenagers had an amazing time and I am thankful you share your family homestead! We enjoyed chess, cards, baking, cooking, hiking to the tree house, hot tub, the chickens, eggs, wildlife sounds at night ... and snow! Such a great getaway for the holiday start. We will be back!

Beautiful secluded mountain house

We had a great time sledding right across from the house. The house is old but certainly comfortable and very snug even as we got tons of snow. Plenty of cooking utensils and space to spread out.

Expansive beautiful grounds

Our three-generation family (and dogs) enjoyed our stay at the Brown Family Homestead so much. The hosts were extremely friendly and very communicative. A small issue was resolved very quickly. The house itself is very old with a simple, rustic charm. There are 15 acres to explore and gorgeous views of the mountains and forests. The kids (ages 3, 6, and 9) loved feeding carrots to the horses, watching the barn swallows swoop, and playing soccer outside. We appreciated the full kitchen and large dining room table. The setting is quiet, peaceful, and very restorative.

So-So accommodations

This house is very 'rustic'. The staircase has very narrow treads and is extremely steep...would not pass building code today. No paper towels or dish towels in the kitchen. The king size bed mattresses were passable but the two rooms with double mattresses were very uncomfortable. One night the circuit breaker tripped and we woke up freezing.The host was responsive. Best thing was large number of beds to accommodate children which we did not have. My dog loved the squirrels outside the window...highlight! Too expensive for the quality IMHO.

Charming Farmhouse Winter Escape

We spent a long weekend in December and were treated to a snowstorm greeting. The mudroom entry was so helpful for our wet gear. The house easily sleeps 8 and has 2 full baths. As it is an old house, it isn’t terribly insulated and you can hear any movement in the middle of the night. If you have heavy snorers in your party, beware! The kitchen is fairly well appointed with lots of pots and pans and useful appliances. Though we had a full house, I never felt like we were crowded and the space was divided up enough you could escape to read a book or watch a movie (DVD only, no TV). The hot tub was covered and very private and nice to enjoy while it snowed. It was decorated with holiday lights and decor, including a small tree which made it very cozy and warm. The only thing that was a bit odd was to have staff walking around the house running extension cords and whatever else while we were staying, but they made quick work of it and didn’t bother us much. It just interfered with our privacy somewhat. Overall, our stay was very relaxing and perfect for decompression from the pace of city life. Recommend!

Thanks so much for being great guests and I do hope you and yours will come back again. I'm so sorry for tromping around the snowy yard plugging an extension cord into the outside outlet! With the snow storm, my car got stuck and I unexpectedly needed my truck out of the side garage. But (of course) it would't start, so I needed electricity to warm the engine. I was hoping to just grab some electricity without disturbing you, but I can see that backfired. Sincere apologies! Best, Karen

Upstairs bedroom windows were painted shut, no fresh air. I don’t believe this is legal! Fridge wasn’t clean. Electric tea kettle had stale water and a dead bug in it. The “new hot tub feature” was a very well used hot tub. Hot tub was stinky. Had to find the chemicals for it and add water. Under sink in kitchen had a rusty and gross sponge holder. No clean new clean sponges for sink. Had to use Clorox wipes to clean the table and counter tops. A lot of dust that had obviously been sitting for some time. The broom was full of dog hair which got on the floor when I swept. Some weird hole patching in the kitchen with a Brillo pad. No WiFi due to the storm. Also no way to watch tv. Host had to bring us a dvd player. No spatula in the kitchen. Couldn’t even get in the door as the wrong code was sent to me. Not what we expected out of a wedding venue that charges 400 per night. Carbon monoxide alarm started going off in the middle of the night and wouldn’t stop. Were we bring poisoned with carbon monoxide??? Beautiful property but the house needs a serious deep clean.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Dec 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry your stay did not meet expectations and appreciate you sharing your concerns. We sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issues you experienced. This is not our standard, and we have spoken with our cleaning team to ensure a more thorough deep clean moving forward. We are also working with our hot tub service company to address the condition and odor you reported. The home has older wood windows, which can expand during wet weather and may be harder to open. All windows were recently opened and closed, and we are exploring replacement options pending owner approval. Unfortunately, we cannot control severe weather, which affected WiFi and TV service. We did our best to provide a DVD player as a temporary solution. We want to clarify that the door code sent was correct and confirmed in all listed locations. Thank you for notifying us about the missing spatula; it has been replaced. Regarding the carbon monoxide alarm, we apologize for the concern it caused. A fire inspector had recently tested all alarms, and we are unsure why it activated. We do wish these concerns had been shared during your stay so we could have addressed them immediately, rather than learning of them after checkout. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve going forward.

Rustic Homestead Hideaway

We had a great stay at the Brown Family Homestead, but there were a few things that could have been better. The furniture is very worn and the home can get very warm in the peak summer months. The window air unit pretty much ran nonstop during our July stay. The staircase is very steep, typical of old farmhouses. That might be a problem for older adults or very young children. That was the bad. On the plus side was the peacefulness of the location. Wildflowers covered the meadow next to the house, the kids loved plucking eggs from the chicken coop and feeding carrots to the horses. We went through 15 lbs. of them during our weeks stay. There is abundant wildlife in the area. We spotted wild turkeys on the property and spotted black bear less than a mile away on two occasions. The location was a mixed bag for us. It was close to Wenatchee State Park, reasonably close to Leavenworth, but a bit farther away from Wenatchee where our family members live. We felt the good far outweighed the bad during our stay and would recommend the homestead to anyone looking for a quiet retreat in the country. If you’d like to give your family a taste of country life, this is the place.

Great rustic farmhouse

We came with another family to play in the snow. There were a few hiccups at the start of our stay but they were quickly addressed. The kitchen is the best stocked I've ever seen in a vacation rental - food processor, stand mixer, blender, tea kettle, a whole drawer of spices, cooking oils, etc. They provide q-tips and cotton balls but bring your own soap and shampoo for the shower or the fabulous clawfoot tub. It was perfect for our group and we would be happy to return.

New Years snow Holiday

We had a very special time staying at this cabin. There was ALOT of snow and it was a very cold but we had a great time with our family. The cabin is exactly as advertised and is very homey. It was fun to stay in a home with so much history. The cabin is clean and comes with all the kitchen cooking supplies you need. The beds are comfortable and the heaters work very well upstairs. The fireplace heater had to work very hard to keep up with the temperature which it did, the house stayed about 68-70 but because the house is old it’s drafty. Which I’m sure we only noticed so much because it never got above 23 degrees while we were there. We enjoyed our holiday very much and would love to come back.

Amazing House

This place is amazing! The house is awesome and we really felt like we were living at a homestead. The 3 feet of snow outside just made it that much better. Due to covid only three of us plus a baby were able to make it so we had plenty of space but even if all of our party had made it there would have been more than enough room. Lake Wenatchee is gorgeous, and the short drive to Leavenworth is 100% worth it. We are already trying to plan our next visit!

Rustic Gem, Absolutley Gorgeous Property

My found WA family and I came together for my 30th bday celebration in Leavenworth - this property took my breath away! Aesthetics galore, perfectly manicured yard and clean. We had a Lord of the Rings themed celebration and the backdrop (for photos, crafting, and merriment) was absolutely perfect. My kids loved the white horses and fresh eggs from the chickens in the morning. Soaking in the hot tub after a long day of adventuring around Leavenworth was icing on the cake. We all had the best time ever and I highly recommend this space to anyone looking to wow your group and have a great time! Thank you to the owners!!!

Beautiful setting, quaint cabin and great location

We loved our visit here! It was a wonderful getaway and great place to relax. The grounds and the setting are gorgeous. The cabin is old fashioned, but comfortable and spacious. There was plenty of room for two families of four. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed the hot tub. We enjoyed chatting with the owners, collecting eggs and feeding the horses. Our puppy loved having plenty of space to run around. The farmstead is close to Lake Wenatchee State Park which has a great beach for swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking. We will be coming back!
