Great spot out in the country people were nice but there was actually a lot of people there. And to…read moreget out in the country for a hot spring there was plenty of others in the area more secluded. But like I said place was clean people were nice and it's in a really nice area in the woods

I contacted the owners of Rushing River from my home in Georgia when I saw their listing on a…read morerental site. My young adult children were hiking the PCT and one had blisters and needed to stop until my husband and I arrived 48 hours later, but with closed roads due to fire rebuilding and no Ubers or Lyfts in service in this remote area with no cell service, I asked Teresa if they were able to provide transportation if I rented a room for my youngest. Despite being a complete stranger, Teresa and Michael made calls to the nearby park rangers to determine how to access my son as if I were a member of their family, even though my children's trailhead was at Olallie Lake almost two hours away. As it turned out, the older siblings stayed and camped with my youngest due instead due to a snow storm which preventing hiking further south as they had planned, but my family was so appreciative that this couple was willing to go out of their way to help, so we made it a point to travel to Rushing River Retreat to meet these wonderful humans. Our family of five adults stayed for two nights in three rooms: my husband and I stayed in the queen room with the balcony inside the home, my boys shared one exterior queen room and my daughter had a second exterior queen room (these exterior rooms are privately accessed outside and they share an exterior and/or interior bathroom available to all of the guests who stay in exterior rooms.) Teresa and Michael open their home up to their guests, so we sat on the couch and chairs in the family room next to the kitchen and enjoyed the view through the picture window of the beautiful rushing river. My sons went swimming and my husband enjoyed fishing. It was lovely after our travels to relax in the hot tub. We are used to renting private spaces through Airbnb when the five of us travel together, but the best thing about this stay was sharing the common areas and getting to know Teresa and Michael. As so many other guests have commented on multiple review sites, this couple welcomes you into their home and shares their lives with you very generously. My young adult children are at the point in their lives where they're figuring out what they want to do for a vocation, so they were very interested in hearing about the varied experiences enjoyed by these gifted and creative entrepreneurs. We spent two weeks in Oregon, and much of our trip had to be reworked due to the snowstorm that changed the hiking plans, and Teresa and Michael gave us wonderful recommendations that guided our entire trip. We even checked in with them after we left the property, and they continued to guide us as we explored their home state. We enjoyed two delicious breakfasts during our stay, and Teresa even shared some of her leftover dinner with my oldest son who was still hungry when the dinner we prepared for the family left him feeling hungry for more! This was a wonderful place to relax, and there are plenty of places on the property to enjoy privately, as one couple did during our stay who we only saw when they filled their plates at breakfast. Then there were others, including one solo traveler who used one of the glamping spaces, who joined us inside at meal time and played board games with us. Whether you want to enjoy a relaxing private space or connect with a friendly and engaging couple, Rushing River is a wonderful place to retreat, relax and restore. It is definitely more than a place to lay your head; Teresa and Michael create an environment that restores your soul.

This place is nothing short of magical. The scenery, setting, vibe and energy. Even the breakfast…read moreis excellent. No matter what I type into this comment box, it would not capture the essence and amazing that this truly place is. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

This places deserves all five stars. The one bad thing about it, is that it's so far from seattle!…read moreI wish it was closer so I could stay with them more often! I was looking for a last minute weekend getaway for my one year wedding anniversary and I'm glad I found this! This was our first glamping experience and it was wonderful. The tipi's were so cute and comfortable. They all have stone floors, a queen sized bed and lamps! All you have to bring are your clothes, they provide bedding and towels! We stayed plenty warm at night, and I am always cold! One tipi has a firepit inside, I hope we can get that one next time! There's also a large one that has two queen beds in it and can sleep up to about 8 people if you wanted! There are two bathrooms, each with a toilet, sink and shower. Our tipi (Sacagawea) was the farthest tipi, but the distance to the bathroom was not bad at all! Even at night, the trail between tipi's and to the bathroom is lit with lights so you really don't even need a flashlight (we forgot one)! Did I mention there's a hot tub?! It's a built in hot tub made of tile. It's quite a good size. Our last night there we had 8 people in it! Bugs were not really a problem like I thought they would be. We didn't see a single bug in our tipi, even with the top flap open so we could see the stars! And believe me, I am not a bug person! They provide a great breakfast, included in your stay! Pancakes, oatmeal, bread, fruit, eggs, yogurt, potatoes, lox, cheese... And of course coffee and tea! You can pay extra for dinner, which was amazing as well. We had grilled salmon, veggies and rice the first night. The second night we had a Spanish paella. Ken so kindly accommodated everyone's diet restrictions leaving things out for those who requested. They do not serve alcohol, but you are welcome to bring your own beer and wine. No hard liquor though. This is such a great place to getaway from city life. It's so peaceful. There are plenty of sitting areas throughout the property as well as several hammocks, which we took a siesta in before dinner! The creek runs along the edge of the property which is so calming to hear and you can walk/play in it. They do have wifi, but it only works close to the main building, which is where the meals are served. No one seemed to mind about the lack of Internet since we were all looking for an escape from reality. Tipi village is a gem. I cannot wait to return with friends next time! I recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax and get away from life, even if you don't like the outdoors, this is very comfortable glamping!

My 6 year old son and I love this playcafe. SO much to do from huge play structures to water play!…read moreHonestly he has the time of his life every time we go. And the theming is so fun :) It is always very clean and it was obvious to me that safety was taken very seriously. Which as a mom was top of my list! We booked a party for his birthday last month and it was perfect. So much fun for all the kids and I didn't have to clean or set up! It is a little pricey, but it felt more than worth it to me. The planner and hostess were both great and communication was great for us. Also yummy food and the coffee is good too, all of which was really affordable. Would love more kids meal options! My son doesn't have any allergies but if your kids do there are still lots of options. Highly recommend!! So happy this is now in our community.

I was a bit worried reading mixed reviews, but I'm glad my kids (4y/o) got to experience the cafe…read more The interior is very cute and I could tell a lot of thought went into this play space. You do have to sign waivers for your kids before you play, I do believe you can sign them online if you want to save time. Adults and kids are required to have grippy socks and they have cubbies to place your shoes. Though, there were a lot of adults wearing their shoes through the area somehow.. the first play zone has tunnels and slides. Then you walk into another area with seating booths. Past that there is a dark area with water tables (fishing) and then a blacklight sandpit area. The sandpit is where my kids had a lot of fun, however there really isn't any seating to watch your kids if you need to, so prepare to get sandy too. I believe they have a private breastfeeding area around as well. The last area is very open. It has a baby area, cafe, a nice smaller play structure, and random things. One thing I will say some kids were a little wild on the push carousel, so if you have younger ones I definitely would watch that area. There are no employees that monitor any of the areas, so it is very parent driven. Ventilation is very poor. Cleanliness, pretty decent for having kids everywhere. Food: generic, but my kids ate it and my coffee was good. Came within an hour. Pro tip: bring change of socks for after because most likely you will have sand! My kids definitely didn't want to leave, so I'll be coming back.
