Luxury Cabin Retreat ON the River - Complete Renovation - Perfectly Located

WELCOME!! WE PROMISE this will be the BEST rental property you have stayed at. We have heard it from most of our guests. Enjoy this beautiful top to bottom renovation resulting in a cabin equipped with luxury details and amenities. The Blackburn River House is a stylishly crafted one-of-a-kind cabin perched ON the banks of the Wenatchee River. Boasting unparalleled views and cozy inviting interiors, this home is perfect for creating lasting memories. A peaceful mountain retreat with easy access to charming Leavenworth, Vail-owned Steven's Pass Ski Resort and a bounty of local wineries. This chalet style home offers luxury amenities and enough personality to make you feel immediately at home. Step outside to the over-sized deck or spend an evening lounging in the hot tub or by the firepit and you'll never want to leave.

The main floor features a brand new chef's kitchen with all new Bosch stainless steel appliances (including the all-important gas range) and every tool imaginable to create a perfect meal. If you’re feeling rustic, a working cast-iron stove is a fun treat for capable chefs and adds a dose of added warmth to the room. Enjoy your meals in the beautiful dining area surrounded by windows and seating for eight guests or when weather permits enjoy the brand new Weber gas grill and outdoor seating (also for 8).

The main floor master bedroom features an en suite bath with custom tile shower and plenty of privacy. The cozy family room boasts an impressive wood-burning fireplace to keep you warm as you watch the snow fall through the trees. Guitars, games, books, puzzles and multiple streaming services are on-hand for those chilly nights at home.

Upstairs you'll find a second master suite with a stunning vaulted ceiling and an attached sink area. Opposite from the master is a large ‘bunk room’ with twin over queen bunk beds and an extra twin for your little adventurers. The ‘nook’ is a cozy little bedroom preferred by kids – in large part due to its ladder access to the magical play loft above. The upstairs bedrooms share a renovated bathroom including a spa tub and free-standing shower.

Inspired by our family’s time spent living abroad in Austria, the United Kingdom and Australia – the Blackburn River House offers the comforts of home, the magic of a treehouse built for grown-ups and kids to explore and the escapism that a riverside retreat in the magical Cascades brings. Decorated in the style of a cozy, English hunting lodge meets a Seattle-ites favorite bookstore, the Blackburn River House offers year-round fun, adventure and unlimited relaxation both inside and out.

The Blackburn River House is a quick 3-minute drive from the little village of Plain (including Plain Cellars Winery, Just Plain Grocery, Plain Hardware and The Old Mill Café). Plain is also known for its many miles of cross-country ski trails, proximity to Lake Wenatchee State Park and even an 18-hole golf course in nearby Kahler Glen. The property itself is located on a private road in the community of Alpine Acres, neighbored by a friendly local church and another acre of community-owned green space.

Whether it’s a jumping off point and apres ski destination for a day at Steven’s pass, a destination for a family gathering or a place for a luxurious peaceful respite, the Blackburn offers unparalleled natural beauty, warmth and rustic, yet finely crafted charm.

Wonderful Getaway
This house was great - the kitchen had everything we needed and more (unlike many rentals this was a joy to cook in). We loved the hot tub and being by the river. The house was very close to the center of Plain - which was handy but we didn't realize that when we booked. The beds were comfortable - the bunk room and the little bedroom are connected from the loft. We're already planning on returning!

Another great stay in an outstanding accommodations.
We could not have had a better time. Family was sad to leave such a comfortable and well decorated cabin. Had everything we needed more and provided a great place to hang out when we weren’t out and about five stars all the way and love the hosts accommodations and considerations.

Cute Cabin
Our stay was really excellent. The Vrbo is decorated so nicely and has nice amenities. I would say this would be better for a family or less than 8 adult friends. The bunk bed is just not optimal for adults and the twin bed in that same room is quite small. Overall it was a wonderful cabin and jumping off point for skiing and Leavenworth.

Awesome house with a great atmosphere
We just finished our second stay at this house and we had more fun this time than last. The layout is unique and great for our kids in their early teens. The owner is very communicative and helpful. She answered all of our questions promptly. We would strongly consider staying here again should we return to the area.

The Perfect House!
This house had literally everything! The location was perfect. Ten minutes from Lake Wenatchee and 20 minutes from Leavenworth downtown. The views were even better than the pictures as was the house itself. It was beautifully remodeled with decks everywhere to enjoy the gorgeous river view and perfect space for our extended family of 8. I have never stayed at a rental that had everything we needed from shampoo to garbage bags. The bedrooms worked out perfectly for our group and the beds were very comfortable with air conditioning in all the bedrooms. My husband is the cook and he loved the kitchen with the gas stove and everything you could want for cooking. We tried hard to find something that could be improved and we came up short. This house was one of the best rentals we have ever stayed at and we will be coming back next year for our annual trip to Leavenworth. This house was perfect for us!

Amazing cabin & beautiful setting (5 stars!!)
We had the most amazing summer vacation enjoying the Blackburn River House with friends! The natural beauty of this setting must be seen to be believed. This cabin, located on the banks of the Wenatchee River, is very recently restored with architectural beauty to match the surrounding scenery. The hosts, who manage the property directly (no property management middle man), spare no expense to ensure guests have a memorable and comfortable experience. Amenities are upscale and stylish without being pretentious. This cabin is equal parts shiny new construction and restored rustic throwback. Highlights of our stay: - Enjoying the views of the Wenatchee from the wrap around multi-level decks. Despite the constantly sunny weather, we were able to find a shady spot at all times. - Cooking, hot tubbing, spinning records, and playing the guitar provided for guests. - Exploring the immediate area. The town of Plain is a hidden gem, and the hardware store is a glorious little hole in the wall. Plain Cellars wine tasting is a must. The market has all the essentials. You never have to leave the town, but you should… - Venturing out to nearby attractions. Leavenworth is a scenic and authentic replica of a German village with great brews, wines and restaurants. Lake Wenatchee offers a myriad of activities framed by majestic mountains.
