About this property

Rainbow House: North Cascades Skagit River Retreat

Peace and tranquility at the gateway to North Cascades National Park—under two hours from Seattle! Spacious, cathedral-ceilinged wood construction in a rural paradise.

World-class fishing (or just watch the salmon run!) at the confluence of the Skagit and Cascade Rivers and top-rated hiking in the North Cascades, near many trailheads including spectacularly beautiful Cascade Pass and Hidden Lake/Lookout.

Chalet comfortably hosts two to six adults in two large bedrooms (master suite and loft) plus a sofa bed in the great room. An additional bunk bed nook for two persons each under 150 pounds (kids, assumedly) brings the total to eight.

Complete kitchen and laundry access, within walking distance of Marblemount for dining and shopping.

NEW for 2024: Air Conditioning! Level 2 EV Charger!

COMING SEPTEMBER 2024: A private self-sufficient unit at the back of the garage, for independent rental and lodging. 'Rainbow House Private Annex' hosts up to 4 adults and is isolated from the main house. For groups larger than 6 desiring to rent both units simultaneously please check VRBO listing 3815963 for availability.

This cabin is absolutely gorgeous and the views are amazing! The host is super kind and was willing to help us make the best of our trip despite wild fires impacting the area. I wish I could have enjoyed the property more but hopefully one day we can return. I would be so thrilled to stay there again and have a cup of coffee on that porch.

Stay at this terrific home!

Located close to everything, but far enough to feel like you are in your own private mountain get-away. Wonderfully kept home with everything needed and an incredibly responsive owner. Views of the mountains, and proximity to the river, North Cascades National Park and town were perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Steve

Host profile image
We're a professional couple from Seattle, now retired after having founded and operated a national importing company for nearly 40 years. We enjoy travel and receiving our guests as we like to be received.

Why they chose this property

Marblemount and the North Cascades are close enough to our home in Seattle to provide overnight escapes in addition to longer wilderness experiences. Those escapes kept us sane during our business careers. And when we weren't in Marblemount, all we had to to do was close our eyes and imagine ourselves being there. We called that 'A Marblemount Moment.'

What makes this property unique

You will see a sign when entering Marblemount that says 'Last Services in 74 miles.' We're at the entrance to North Cascades National Park and the property is in a cleared field across from the Skagit River with 360º views of the surrounding mountains. It is idyllic, with restaurants and services close at hand.
