We were overwhelmed with the beauty of this property's location. The time spent on the decks really feels like perching at the top of an old-growth evergreen. The house itself is beautiful and comfortable with lots of spaces for groups to find peace, and gather together.
The location is proximate to Cultus Lake and all the activities located there, and it has easy access to Vedder and the necessities located in town.
Melody and her team of family members are delightful, responsive and thoughtful about the guest experience.
We enjoyed having our entire family around the dining table. We loved spending evenings out on the decks. We enjoyed the wildlife (bear!) Being together was our primary desire, and this property fit the bill beautifully.
A couple of things I would point out that may not be included in the online description. (1) A four-wheel drive vehicle would be preferred - it's about a 7 minute drive up to the top of a mountain, with a lot of granite outcroppings and some steep drops and four or five switchbacks. There is very little maneuverability, so multiple cars on the same road could be problematic. (2) Plan to cook or go out for dinner - Door Dash and Uber are not delivering to the front door. (3) The owner provides binoculars - use them (even though we were there during a particularly smoky time, we spotted several hawks and an owl). (4) Consider bringing bee traps - whether smoke, or just wilderness, there were a good number of yellow jackets. Enjoy!
