Your relaxing retreat, situated in the Hidden Valley of the Cascade Mountain Range, awaits you with views of nature and quiet solitude away from other homes.

We stayed at Elk Valley Retreat for a long weekend with our two dogs in February. It was the perfect getaway from the city. The dogs loved playing in the snow and we loved disconnecting and enjoying the scenery with a mug of hot cocoa. It's a beautiful property and relatively secluded, with plenty of acreage to explore. The main house is clean and cozy with well appointed bedrooms and bathrooms. Watching the deer walk by is a added bonus. We counted 15 of them at once!

This place is truly something special. The quiet, outdoor time is just unmatched. Such fun snow play right outside. We loved every second. This is one of the most well stocked VRBO's we have ever stayed in. These hosts have thoughts of everything. Leah was incredibly responsive and enjoyable to communicate with. We can't wait to come back.

This is our second visit to the Elk Valley Retreat in December and we love it. There was snow and it was very serene. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need. We love the remoteness because we take our dogs and they don't bother anyone and they are safe in this out-of-the-way place. Dealing with the management is great.

A stunning hobby farm tucked away in the foothills. Warm, cosy and beautifully appointed with an actual full kitchen and utensils to match. As an added bonus Christmas decorations were added before our arrival which was a delightful finishing touch. An amazing host who provided clear instructions for getting to the property, was always responsive to requests, and offered flexibility only really found in those who have lived in the mountains during winter. If you are anything like us you will leave wishing you had stayed longer.

I sat outside with deer surrounding me. I used my phone so little because I was at such peace there. The kitchen has a gas stove so I wanted to do nothing but cook in the kitchen while looking over the wild animals in the yard. I have never felt such peace. I will return when the elk are going through the field. Staying at this home has only reinforced my need to move away from the city.

Elk Valley Retreat was a beautiful, well-appointed, homey gathering place for our family Christmas gathering. So much space and calming mountain views, wildlife crossing the property every evening, a LOT of snow and cold weather combined to make our stay amazingly peaceful.

We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed every bit. Beautiful property. Owners were very helpful and friendly. Our kids played outside the entire time. My 4 year old loved the disc golf and riding his bike. My wife loved the surrounding area. A little windy and cold, but still amazing!

This cabin is the perfect place to relax and get away from the west side stress and traffic. Three bedrooms and two full baths, decorated nicely, great beds and a cozy atmosphere plus the kitchen has literally everything! Owners are awesome, thoughtful and quick to reply. We’d like to come back in the summer and fish, and hang out on that covered patio. Lots of deer on the property, and the homestead cabin is cool. We loved it!

The home sits on large property with an amazing sledding hill. It is well stocked with just about everything you need.

“Do you hear that dear?” “What?” “Absolutely nothing.” The house was perfect, better appointed than any house we’ve stayed in, quietly situated on a large piece of land in a small valley. We were surrounded by deer and elk during our entire stay and we watched the mule deer from the large front window as they came down the hillside every morning. The hosts were great and I’d recommend this property to anyone that wants to be in the country, but not so far out that they can’t dip in for food or supplies with Cle Elum proper just 16 minutes away.

We decided to escape Seattle over New Year's and seek serenity in the Cascades, celebrating New Year's with our canine companions and friends to have some fun-filled days in the snow—and boy did we ever! We had so much snow, we had to adjust our travel plans to come a day early. Thank you so much Leah for accomodating us on such short notice and get the house ready for us a day early. Had we stuck to our original travel plans, we would have never made it, as Snoqualmie Pass was closed for the better part of last Thursday. We ended up spending our entire time around this gorgeous property. We brought snowshoes, sleds, and snow tubes...never have I seen a bunch of middle-aged adults laughing this hard sliding down a hill in over two feet of pristine powder. The cabin is simply beautiful. An extraordinarily well-stocked kitchen, beautifully decorated rooms (Leah, I just love your artwork all over the house which tells so well the story of your travels) great! matrasses, beautiful lines, and towels. We never wanted for anything. The property is incredibly easy to get to. The streets were very well plowed and the neighbors took exceptional care of our driveway to make sure we could get in and out with no issues. (all-wheel drive or winter tires a must!) The instructions for the house and additional information the owners put together are superb, so is the extensive library of videos and games. We cooked up a storm over 4 gorgeous snow and sun-filled days, even found the trail behind the house, had some lovely evenings in front of the fireplace, and were treated more than once with elk and deer coming by the house. Thank you for having us, Leah. You guys are amazing hosts. We will for sure be back!

We come to Washington several times a year and have a usual place we stay; it was booked. Luckily we found this sweet little gem. It has everything and no detail is overlooked— including really good/sharp kitchen knives. We loved our stay and we think you will enjoy watching all the deer/elk too. Highly recommend this beautiful ranch home.
