Jason, Erica, and baby Juniper here! Welcome to our cabin.
We're Washington locals who love mountain biking, hiking, lake days, and playing in the snow. We've hosted Airbnbs throughout the Pacific Northwest and truly love sharing our favorite places with guests.
We renovated this retro 1980 cabin into a cozy home base for year-round adventures. We'll send check-in details and a full house guide before your stay, but in the meantime, enjoy some of our favorite local recommendations!
Cheers!

The private community beach is just a short walk from the cabin. Perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, or relaxing. If you drive, you'll need the key fob to access the community gate during summer — it's hanging in the entryway by the front door. Lost key fobs incur a $100 replacement fee.
They deliver rentals to the community beach! Jet skis, pontoon boats, paddle boards, kayaks, and more during the summer months.
Grab dinner and drinks at Swiftwater Cellars, golf, or spend time exploring the resort grounds and trails.
Seasonal outdoor Sunday market with local food vendors, coffee, produce, and handmade goods. Great weekend activity in the summer — check online for dates & times.
A beloved single-screen historic movie house in downtown Roslyn showing first-run films and classics. Only ~100 seats, cash/check only, and dogs are welcome! Tickets from $6.50. Check roslyntheatre.com for showtimes.
A great outdoor spot in Suncadia with a large playground and a bike pump track — perfect for kids and families. Free to use and easy to spend a couple of hours here.
In winter, the area transforms into a snowmobile paradise with miles of groomed trails through the Cascades. The Last Resort and Cascade Playtime Rentals both offer rentals with guided tours.
All three spots are within 30 minutes of the cabin. Water is snowmelt-fed and cold even in summer — bring water shoes and come prepared. No lifeguards at any of these locations.
A stunning alpine lake on the edge of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness with crystal-clear teal water. Great for swimming, paddle boarding, or just relaxing on the shore. No motorboats are allowed, keeping it peaceful. The Owhi Campground sits on the northwest shore if you want to make a full day of it — and it's also the trailhead for Pete Lake and Spectacle Lake.
Also known as Cooper Gorge Pool, this is a local favorite. The Cooper River flows through granite boulders before widening into a deep emerald pool — great for cliff jumping, rope swinging, and swimming. The rushing river slows here into a beautiful natural basin surrounded by old-growth Douglas fir. Cold but worth it. Peak season runs late June through early September when snowmelt subsides.
Fed by snowmelt cascading down the eastern Cascades, the Teanaway runs with remarkable clarity — you can watch sunlight scatter across the rocky riverbed through the water. The lower stretches carve natural channels that act as waterslides and form slow, pool-like swimming areas. Ponderosa pines and cottonwoods line the banks, wildflowers bloom in spring, and wildlife sightings (deer, osprey, heron) are common. A genuinely peaceful, locals-only feel. After you take the turnoff for the Teanaway, drive about 10min until you reach a pull off for parking on the right side of the road (near bridge).
Some of our favorite hikes in the area! Note, that these can get pretty popular on the weekends so we recommend getting an early start or going on a week day if you can swing it. Cooper River Trail would be the least busy on a weekend.
Almost immediately, you're greeted with the best river view of the hike and the Cooper River swim hole. Continue as far as you'd like with lots of swimming options along the way.
Follow the Cle Elum River Trail through wooded forest and over bubbling streams, surrounded by thimbleberry, bunchberry, mountain ash, and huckleberry. The gentle incline flattens out after the first half mile, and after one mile the forest opens as you near the lower portion of the main lake.
Its translucent depths, tucked underneath the uppermost 2,000 feet of Chair Peak, are removed from the highway crossing Snoqualmie Pass by just a short trail with minimal elevation gain. Snow Lake is the most visited lake in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness… and rightly so.
Pete Lake is the headwater of the Cooper River, the most significant waterway of the Salmon la Sac region. One of the more popular hikes on the east side of Snoqualmie Pass — great for campers, hikers, birders, and climbers staging for Big Summit Chief and Chimney Rock.
This route offers outstanding rewards but demands serious effort. From the fire lookout cabin atop the heather-carpeted peak, you can scan the horizon in every direction — peaks and valleys throughout the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, south to Mount Rainier, and the blue pool of Kachess Lake sparkling in the valley below.
An ideal trail for wildflowers and mountain views in May–June, when the west side of the Cascades is still dreary. Just cross the pass and you'll find sunny skies on the east side. Note: closed to motorized use April 1–June 15 each year.
The trail heads uphill into the wilderness boundary, then eases once you're in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. You'll cross numerous small feeder streams winding up a box canyon, alternating between old-growth Douglas fir and hemlock and brushy avalanche meadows. If hiking after rain, expect wet legs.
A stunning blue lake set high in a basin beneath rocky peaks, showcasing Mount Stuart as its backdrop. Views of the Esmeralda Peaks, a walk through Headlight Basin, and the imposing Stuart Range are just a few of the wonders along the way. Spectacular in fall.
