Nice house about 1 hr from artist point. Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need. Lots of other amenities such as camping chairs, etc. Host was very responsive with a minor issue and quickly resolved it. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Probably one of the nicest places I’ve stayed. Kitchen is pristine and fully stocked, bedrooms were clean and comfortable. River is a short walk through an over grown trail and is very peaceful. Location wise, about 50 minutes to Mt Baker, 2 hours to Diablo lake and North Cascades and 2 hours outside of Seattle. Overall highly recommended and would stay again
