My family and I rented this place for a few days after Christmas and wow, were we impressed. As we…read morewere traveling with 3 families - a total of 7 adults, and 3 kids under 5 - we were able to bring 3 cars with us. The rental was spacious with one master, and two additional bedrooms. One bedroom had both a bunkbed and a queen size bed. In addition, there was a pullout sofa bed in the living room. The kitchen had all the necessities we needed. In fact, I could have baked something if I knew baking ware was included. And all of the cooking pans, tools and other kitchen amenities were of quality. No scratches on the pans as I normally see in other places we have rented. The view was stunning as it was the water and mountain that took the view. Not even a 5 minute walk, there are a bunch of bars/wineries and food options to peruse. And about 20-30 minutes drive in/out are the larger, fancier wineries. There was also a casino in the area as well. The price tag is a bit on the higher end but is doable for bigger groups so as to split the cost. I would certainly recommend this place and would love to return. Communication between the property manager and I were prompt, which I appreciate very much.

We stayed in the poolside floor for a bachelorette weekend and had a blast. You could fit up to 10…read morepeople and the place was still spacious! The kitchen had all the necessary utensils, plates, cups, pots, and pans. In one of the mornings, we even made pancakes! Bathrooms were large enough which was nice especially in a large group. Red Apples was about 10 min away. Beware though, if you're hungry in the middle of the night, make sure to stock up in the fridge because their grocery stores are not 24-hours like in Seattle. Fortunately, I brought enough beef jerkeys. We didn't have time to explore Downtown Mason, but that was only two blocks away. Boat and other water activities rentals were also two blocks away which was great! We rented a boat and went on a winery tour in Chelan. Downtown Chelan was about 30 minutes away from where we stayed at, but the drive wasn't too bad. You do need to take out the trash and put in a load into the laundry machine before you leave though. I think that's normal if you're renting for a few days. The only downside was the noise upstair. There was another bachelorette party above us so I was able to hear them in the middle of the night whilst I was trying to sleep. However, the noise wasn't too bad since the other gals in my group slept quite well. I was just a light sleeper. Debbie, our main source of contact was very professional. We were able to check in early. Tracey, I think that was her name, was very helpful as well. Our code to get into our place didn't work so we had to get another code. Tracey, who was there when we arrived, made sure that we had a code that worked. But other than that, I would definitely come again with my family. If only they accept small dogs. I would definitely bring my Maltese if they allow it. :)

We loved this stay! It's very very remote and be sure to pay attention to the listing description…read moreabout the primitive road to be sure you can make it to the location. The hobbit house was very whimsical and adorably crafted. The fireplace worked well. There's electricity via a generator and primitive plumbing but no kitchenette or anything. We brought a little electric griddle that we prepped our seven hobbit meals on, and that worked well. The woodwork and ornate door is beautiful, and I loved the cute bathroom. We tried to fill the tub, but there isn't enough hot water to do it, and the draining is a bit complicated. Knowledge of how to operate a generator and problem solve electrical and plumbing issues may make your stay more enjoyable. No mention of the generator was in the listing, so when we checked in, we weren't sure at first why we didn't have electricity. We read the house book in detail, and luckily my husband is super handy and got us running. Despite the generator working, we still lost power and plumbing pressure more than once, and he was running outside in the chilly hobbit air to fix them. It didn't dampen our experience at all.. it was like camping, but it should be in the listing in case you aren't as handy as my husband is. Had I been there alone, I would have been in trouble for sure!

Here and back again. A journey definitely worth taking…read more You don't need to travel to New Zealand to visit The Shire. The adventure to Middle Earth is here in Washington State! I never knew such a place can exist in the PNW but anything is possible right? Location: A few miles past Chelan (on HWY US-97 North) two miles up the switchback gravel dirt road and tucked into the hillside to the left lies The LOTR inspired Hobbit Hole. It is about a 3-3.5 hour drive from Seattle. Parking: There is a designated parking spot reserved for the Airbnb. You will have to take a very short but steep walk to the entrance. Ambiance: I felt like I was in Bilbo Baggins house. Kristie (the Airbnb host) did an amazing job with every single detail. From the garden setup with a small picket fence on the outside to the cozy, non-modern wood crafted set up on the inside. The place was very clean, well prepared and well themed. The fireplace is the only source for heat but you only need to turn it on for a few minutes to warm up the entire place. We were served with fresh baked cookies as a greeting. A few items that are provided are herbal tea, coffee, water, an electric kettle, drinking mugs, toiletries, disposable wooden silverwares and a few games. Also provided is a station for wood chiseling if you want to tap into your creative side. This hobbit hole is very small and intimate, a perfect getaway for couples. View: Beautiful views looking through the hobbit door of the Columbia River Gorge Mountainside! Note: You will definitely get a feel of Middle Earth since it's a few miles from civilization. No wifi or cellphone service in the Hobbit Hole. I was able to get a little reception from Verizon at the parking spot. The septic tank goes off once in awhile and it can be a little noisy but nothing unbearable. The ceiling decoration above the bed is very low. If you a LOTR fanatic, then this is something to check out!

Stayed here with a group of friends. Immensely comfortable place to hang for an extended weekend!…read moreAmple rooms and places to relax or work. The conference room table downstairs would be pretty epic for a team offsite. The views are stellar and to have the river as the backdrop to the entire stay was superb! Some attention to details would make things a bit better, such as ensuring there are no spiders or their webs in the showers. The A-frame "annex" staircase is super noisy so there's no discrete way to go up or down those stairs for others that are sleeping. Also, the Wi-Fi struggles to maintain a signal in that loft area, and thankfully my Apple TV and other devices did okay regardless. A second node over on that side would strengthen that easily. Would recommend to stay there for sure, hoping we can do it again sometime.

During our stay, we took full advantage of all the amenities (hot tubs, fire pits, volleyball court, ping pong table, etc) and had a fabulous time. The wedding ceremony and reception both took place out on the lawn beside the river and we had the best weather and most gorgeous backdrop. My husband and I stayed in the Loft Suite which was nice and private and also perfect for Mario Kart tournaments in the downstairs section (we brought our Nintendo Switch and hooked it up to their projector). These homes are huge, beautiful, and well stocked for any sort of gathering. Julie was my point person during the booking process and stay and was helpful, friendly, and easy to get a hold of. She responded quickly to all of my questions and even delivered flowers to the vacation home that had been delivered to her own home (an extra ~30 min drive each way for her). She went out of her way to make sure that our weekend was special and she succeeded in every way possible! We could not have been happier with our stay at Riverside Properties and will definitely plan to come back in the future.

Excellent destination place to stay…read more Excellent place to stay. Very affordable with outstanding service. We spent two nights there. First night was in cabin 15. It was spacious and had a hot tub. The cabin was perfect for a nice time with my wife and I to get away and really relax. Cabin 14 was a nice cabin too. We stayed in this one our second night. No hot tub with this one but still very nice. The breakfast was great. The food options were diverse and tasty. Kendra personally offered to make us some terrific scrambled eggs because of my limited diet. I totally recommend this place if you want a great escape from the chaos that life sometimes throws at us.

We paid $417 for two weekend nights in October. Other notes / Possible Cons - * The sound bleed is so bad. We could fully hear the conversation, footsteps, and movie of the room next to us. So if you don't like that I would definitely recommend getting one of the separated cabins. * A lot of the appliances (TV, fireplace. Etc.) didn't work but it wasn't a huge issue because it wasn't too cold and you're in nature - why need a TV? * Breakfast is homemade and they say it's from 8 - 9:30 AM but really all the food is gone around 9. Again, not really an issue for us since we didn't really eat the breakfast. Good coffee though :)

So first there are shuttles that will take you to the beach, there is also a private marina where you have access to rent jet skis, boats and there is a small almost wading pool for young kids where rocks separate it from the deeper part of the lake. They also provide a trampoline in the water, seating lounge chairs with umbrellas to provide shade. Inside the homes they provide beach towels, pantry has seasonings, appliances like coffee makers with tea and coffee, food storage bags and a variety of cookware. It felt just like being at home because they only thing we needed to buy was food and they also provided a grill and hot tub. It can be a little pricey but we split among 2 families to reduce the cost. Oh also there was a wagon which allowed us to bring everything to the beach and my daughter which also fits in the buggy to shuttle. And how dare I forget to mention. The POUR HOUSE had soo much outdoor seating in the front and in the back.

The bathroom is pretty small with only one sink. The hot breakfast was nice. We loved all the blue elk touches all over the lodge. We made several trips into town using the cut-through in the backyard. It's about a mile walk to the center of town. We also walked around Enchantment/Waterfront park which has trail entrances close to the back of the hotel. Our dog felt very welcomed. Next time I will probably request one of the ground floor rooms with an outside door which would be so convenient for taking the dog out. It was very quiet - we enjoyed sitting on the balcony taking in the view. Can't wait to be back!

The unit…read moreitself is a tad outdated, but it does offer beautiful, breathtaking views, which we really enjoyed. The beds were just okay obviously not as comfortable as our bed at home. The TV and sound system could definitely use an update, and I don't believe it was a smart TV. The front desk staff were not very friendly. They kept calling us on the day of arrival and again on the day we were leaving, which felt a bit excessive. I did appreciate the complimentary toothbrush and razor, though that was a nice touch. The kitchen amenities and sink area were also very nice and convenient. The biggest drawback was the smoke alarm beeping in the middle of the night. It really disrupted our sleep. I understand maintenance may have needed to come in, but I wasn't comfortable with someone entering while we were out or disturbing our privacy while we were inside I'm a bit particular about that when my belongings are in the room. Overall, the views were the highlight, but due to the outdated features, staff experience, and the alarm issue, our stay fell short of expectations.
