Host was very accommodating to us when I told them that my husband just had surgery and it might just be me at the cabin. They pushed the check in date by one day to see if that would help him recover for one more day. Such a cozy cabin with amazing amenities! I didn’t go down to the river because the trail was full of leaves and didn’t want to slip and fall, but the view was incredible! Will book with tree line again!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in Gold Bar. The house was very comfortable for two people. My only suggestion would be to add a small built-in closet in the sitting area of the master bedroom. We were attending a wedding that weekend and there wasn’t anywhere to hang up our suits, shirts, dresses and blouses.

The place was wonderful, it was peacefully located in what felt a very private area. The one thing that would have been great is the pathway to the river from the house be more accessible. It was a bit overgrown with nature so a bit challenging with kids . Host was very responsive to questions.

Cabin was adorable. It was set on a dirt road Ange you have to travel a couple of miles on the dirt road. Car will get very dirty. Quiet and clean place. Perfect for a couples getaway. The additional bedroom was detached from the main house and there was no bathroom for that bedroom. Occupants of the second bedroom have to go outside andup the stairs into the main house and then up another set of stairs to the second story to the only bathroom. Communication and check-in process or very good.

Hi Lisa! Thanks for your review of our Rising Sun Retreat! We're happy to hear you had a great stay! This cabin is indeed on a quiet, private gravel road. We do indeed mention on the listing that we have only one bathroom and that the additional bedroom is not attached to the house, so guests can make informed choices as to if this works for their group. Happy trails!

We had a fantastic stay at Tree Line. It was clean, quiet and comfortable. The river and Mountain Views from the rental were awe inspiring. There is a little farm across the road with chickens, sheep and a llama that our dog fell in love with. The hot tub was so inviting after a day of hiking and exploring and it was so nice to see the stars that are blocked by the light pollution in the city. Some items to note for your trip: WiFi could be spotty so make sure to plan ahead. Shops and restaurants tend to close early. There is no dishwasher. The sole bathroom is on the upper floor. These weren’t issues for us but may be for others. I believe all this is stated upfront on the VRBO page. We would absolutely stay here again.

We really liked the cabin and river view. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great. Had a big storm with power outage overnight and next morning. We did build a fire to stay warm and used the tea kettle on the wood stove to boil water for coffee!

Had a peaceful and relaxing stay. Hearing the river all day and night was great; wish more of the foliage was cut back so you could enjoy more of a view of the river throughout the property.
