    Overall the stay was great! My only complaints are that the only bathroom was on the third floor, the hot tub tripped the breaker a couple times and there wasn’t a washer or dryer available on site. The place was very clean, comfortable and had an amazing view!

    Beautiful location on the river. Enjoyed several days of hiking and then soaking in the hot tub. Home was very well-maintained and comfortable. Host was prompt with communication. No unusual expectations for check-out. We did not use the second bedroom not connected to the house. Close to restaurants in Gold Bar.

    Perfect cabin

    The rising sun was exactly what we were looking for. It was very clean and comfortable. Being able to sit out on the deck and look at the river was so relaxing. It was raining for our entire stay so we'll definitely be booking it again in the spring/summer so we can take advantage of everything the cabin has to offer.

    charming cabin on the river

    We very much enjoyed our stay. Only complaint would be some cobwebs in the bath and kitchen could use a few more additions like foil/baggies for take home. Otherwise lovely home and peaceful and tranquil setting

    We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay! Cobwebs are definitely an ongoing challenge in the woods and we were sure to address this with housekeeping. We have also now added foil and plastic wrap as a standard amenity at all Tree Line Rentals. We hope to welcome you back to Rising Sun Retreat or another one of our amazing western Washington cabins again!

    Secluded few days

    Property was clean and equipped appropriately. Had trouble getting in but after a couple of calls host was able to give me the access code (which I had forgotten). Hot tub was very relaxing. Screen on bedroom had several slashes in it which made it unusable. Outside furniture and landscaping (access to river) hadn’t been tended to in quite sometime but wasn’t a dealbreaker. View to river was obstructed from lower porch and yard areas. Would still recommend this cabin for a secluded getaway.

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We immediately reached out to the yard service and made sure trails to the river are being kept clear (it can be tricky this time of year since we have to wait for the river level to drop first!). We have replaced the screen and outdoor patio furniture too! We will reach out privately to extend a future discount so we can welcome you back for a perfect stay :)

    Another amazing experience

    This is our 2nd time staying at a Tree Line property and both were exceptional. The cabins were spotless and well stocked with all the necessities as well as additional things like board games. I’ve been in direct contact with the staff on both occasions and they have been nothing but friendly and helpful. They will definitely be our first choice in the future.
