Beautiful property
Overall the property is incredible, there is a lot of special places to discover as you walk around the trails. However, if you were hoping to enjoy a view or even a glimpse of the river from the house, you will be just as disappointed as I was. We did enjoy the hot tub (again no view of river) and loved all the details around the property, it is very thought out.

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is beautiful and has a nice hot tub and fire pit. For a relatively small house, the bedrooms and bathrooms are a good size. I would stay here again for a weekend getaway not far from Seattle.

My husband, mother-in-law, and I (along with our dogs) recently enjoyed a weekend stay at this gorgeous property. The house was cozy and comfortable, and the grounds looked magical. We’re already looking forward to coming back for a longer stay in the future!

Amazing surrounding.
We had a very good time at the house and thoroughly enjoyed the river that is just steps away. Our dogs loved the yard and the access to water. The house is clean, well-kept, and the AC was definitely a plus during a hot summer stay!

Best place to stay for a family
Wonderful inside and outside. Very scenic, river adjacent was beautiful. Lots of activities were provided (lawn games, a music "jam" room [as we dubbed it], DVDs for the kids). House didnt' feel to "old", kitchen and bathrooms appeared updated and more modern.

Relaxing Retreat
Our stay at the Wallace River Retreat was amazing. It was our first trip away during this pandemic and it was just perfect. We went hiking on a nearby trail, rocked out with the instruments, hung out in the hot tub and played board games. The river was gorgeous and the owners thought of everything in the cozy house. It was just the getaway that we needed.

We had a lot of fun. Much to do on the property and really no reason to leave.
It was my first rental experience and it did meet my expectations. Lots of flowers lots of places to sit and enjoy nature and the music room was a lot of fun too. Made s'mores by the campfire. Fun experience

River, hot tub, room to roam and owls!
We loved our stay here! Our 2 dogs had a blast playing in the huge yard, and we enjoyed exploring all the nooks and crannies of the large fenced property. Places to sit next to the river, around the fire pit or on the porch to listen to the birds made it so relaxing. We were visited by two barred owls! The separate music room is a big plus, giving an opportunity to try out different instruments without disturbing others. The hot tub was pristine and private, great for soaking after a hike. And the cabin kitchen was better equipped than ours at home. Great internet service allowed us to keep in touch with work when we had to. We plan to come back.

😎 Awesome!
This property is beautiful and very well maintained. The cabin is comfy and has a ton of charm. Lots of little special details. The grounds are amazing with lots of adorable and beautiful different spots to explore and enjoy. Would absolutely recommend this property. They provided lots of indoor and outdoor games with fishing poles and everything. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, they have a beautifully equipped music studio and allow access!!! Amazing property.

Dreamy property
My family of 5 and 1 friend had a great time at Wallace River Retreat. We went into Sultan one day, but there was plenty to keep us busy right there on the property. The lovely lawn was an unexpected surprise. We were able to spread out and enjoy the River, watch hummingbirds, eat meals outdoors, and lots more. Incredibly well equipped vacation rental. We kept remarking how they had thought of everything. We hope to return.

Classy, delightfully decorated, clean and fun!
What a treat to find such a clean, sophisticated, relaxing getaway along a river! Just a short, easy drive from Seattle too. Everything is top notch and will please anyone looking for a relaxing change of pace. Sit by the river and leave city life behind for a bit. This place is definitely very special in all good ways. Both inside and outside have fun, tasteful decorations with whimsical surprises and activities for all ages and weather. Very clean with comfortable beds, bedding and furniture. Wonderful outdoor firepit and hot tub. We will definitely return!

A Little Slice of Heaven
Sweet getaway not too far from Seattle, yet you feel a million miles away. The cabin is cozy and comfortable, even has A/C for those super jot summer days. The kitchen is well equipped with sharp knives, high quality utensils and plenty of dishes to get 6 people through the day without having to run the dishwasher. Lots of different seating areas outside for groups or solo contemplation. The riverbank is totally private, as is the huge hot tub. Dogs and kids can run around the fully fenced property. Great for birdwatchers. Highly recommended!

Picturesque Haven
Lovely property that truly lived up to the description and pictures. Every detail in the house is kept up with nice quality and amenities. We really enjoyed exploring the property which provided ample surprises throughout the week, including some nighttime guitar strumming. It was also fun to have our meals at a different location each time, given the great variety of tables throughout the property. We heard some exciting wild animal sounds early one morning- probably the bobcat. Highly recommend the Wallace Falls hike that even our 5 yo managed without issue. Thank you to the owners for a truly amazing vacation.

So charming and peaceful, we never wanted to leave
There's absolutely no complains about our stay at the Wallace river retreat. This property is amazing and the owners really thought of everything. There's trails and nooks to the most charming areas on the property. Swings and hammocks tucked away. The hot tub and the fully loaded detached band room were also a plus. The house itself was stylish and organic to the nature and indigenous land all around. But of course the best part was still the river! There's a private trail right down to the best spot on the river and another hidden trail to an overlook. We are so thrilled to be able to have our wedding ceremony on the property and we would definitely love to stay here again.

Paradise!
Wallace River Retreat was perfect in every way for our group stay. The home is very well-equipped with so many thoughtful things - flip-flops for walking to the hot tub, hummingbird nectar to refill the feeders, thorough instructions on how to use the TV and Sonos music system, plenty of towels, etc. Beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are very nice. But the outdoor areas made this stay a paradise for us. Swings, hammocks, hot tub, fire pit, decks, porch, 3 different areas to enjoy the riverfront - all spaced out on a huge property. And for bird lovers like us, this is a special oasis with feeders throughout and plenty of bird seed for refills. The musician in our group was thrilled to have a practice space with instruments! Couldn't ask for anything more.

Perfect in Every Way
We spent 3 wonderful days at the cabin with our two dogs. The cabin is clean, charming, and comfortable. Little touches like a box of dog toys, a towel for muddy paws, and dog bed were exceptional. There's plenty of room but it still feels cozy. Kitchen is modern, fully equipped, and easy to use. We loved the art ranging from beautiful to witty and funny. The hot tub is hands down the best we've every used. The property is unique and lovely; you can wander thru and find a new treasure around each corner. Lots of privacy and special hidden spots. Everything felt secure and we loved walking down to the rushing, crystal clear river. Hummingbirds flitted everywhere. Our whole time there was a smile and made great memories. We will be back.

Beautiful property and lovely house
This is a huge property with a large riverfront and beautiful trees and landscaping throughout - absolutely one of the best places we have ever stayed in. We loved all the outdoor spaces - played badmitton and bocce on the lawn, read in the hammocks, played games on the table by the river, made s'mores at the firepit, ate outside on both decks and soaked in the hot tub. We even splashed around in the river. So many places to escape by yourself or do things together. We cooked all our meals in the kitchen, which had everything we needed. The music shed was amazing for family jam sessions. The inside renovation was well done, comfortable and had all the ameneties we required, plus some extras that were nice - tons of games, DVDs, great exterior lighting, swings, and air conditioning. We didn't have a dog or young kids, but the property would be great for both as it is fenced all around. It was a fantastic, relaxing stay for our family - wish we could have stayed longer!

Lovely
I wish we could have stayed longer, maybe forever. The propery is amazing. Neighbors are a little close so I did wish for a tall fence on both sides instead of just the one, but other than that, the outdoor space is just about perfect. The music room was a huge hit with my teens. I was bummed I didn't realize there is a flat lawn space as we would have brought some light sports equipment. The river was awesome as well, with two different ways down. I spent the most time at the fire pit and really enjoyed that space. As far as the house goes, there was very little water pressure in the kitchen sink and I would have been happier with window coverings in the living room/kitchen for evenings as I felt very exposed, but otherwise we had no complaints. The bathrooms and bedrooms are beautiful and well maintained. Cleaning supplies are readily acceasible and labels were helpful as far as providing information on appropriate use of the various aspects. Really, just a wonderful place to go.
