Wonderful House! Great Stay!
Submitted: April 11, 2013
Stayed: April 2013
We had a lovely stay at River Heights. It is really a beautiful piece of property and is actually quite an affordable little bit of luxury if you have several couples staying together. Everyone had their individual space, but yet the gathering areas were perfect for a large group. The views were truly "rapturous" and even if the weather is rainy or bad you don't mind because the view is great. It was only a short drive to downtown Leavenworth and grocery stores, etc. The only thing I will note is that if you have small children, you will need to watch them very carefully outside as the edges of the property do drop off quite suddenly in several places (not a bad thing, it is actually part of what makes the views so amazing, but if you want to let your small children run free outside, this might not be the house for you although there is a beautiful grassy section near the orchard that does lend more to running around, but still requires supervision).

Owner's Response: Sometimes I wish I was a fly on the wall and could see peoples' reactions when they first arrive. It's true that the views are amazing and I'm so glad that you were able to enjoy them and soak in the gorgeous surroundings. No matter what season or what the weather it is simply spectacular. Please come back again!

Fantastic Home
Submitted: January 14, 2013
Stayed: December 2012
We have rented many homes over the years in the Pacific Northwest. This home was by far the nicest home we have rented. The spectacular views, the privacy, the spacious accommodations, the nice beds, the large kitchen and extra large dining room table all made for a wonderful gathering spot for a family reunion. Furthermore, the home is equipped with excellent pots, pans, dish ware and cooking utensils. The kids had a ball sledding on the many hills around the home, sitting in the hot tub and playing card games by the fire. The adults appreciated no TV on the top level and IPOD connections for the stereo. Thanks for providing this cozy, beautiful home as a rental.

Exquisite Vacation Home!
Submitted: January 9, 2013
Stayed: January 2013
I just got back from a wonderfully relaxing weekend at River Heights. My party had 12 adults and 3 babies and we had plenty of space to lounge and sleep. The kitchen is a dream and made it easy to cook for large groups. The property has a perfect hill for sledding and an awesome view of mountains and orchards all around. I did not want to leave! We also had a great experience with the River Heights staff, who was easy to work with and quick to reply.

Luxury home with views and amenities
Submitted: November 17, 2012
Stayed: November 2012
I had a FUNTASTIC stay in mid-November at the River Heights Home with 8 childhood friends; 9 women all together (ranging in age from from 50 - 90!) We were very pleased with all the amenities: beautiful views, comfy beds, hot tub outside, spa bath and steam shower inside, spacious living room, wood fireplace and gas fireplace, LOTS OF ROOM for eating and gaming (BIG TABLES) and cooking (we are "foodies!" There was enough room in the kitchen for some friends to be cooking, while others were drinking tea and chatting on the high chairs at the counter top.)
We loved the orchard next door for pleasant walks and the view of the mountains and river. We were gifted by a dusting of snow our last night. The next morning we were surrounded by a breath-taking winter wonderland. We left town around 1:00pm, and by then the pass was clear.
There are many hikes in the area and touristy window shopping in Leavenworth. However, the home was so COMFORTABLE, that we mainly cooked, played games, soaked in the hot tub, had a lot of chat time, told stories, and sang together. A wonderful time had by all. I highly recommend this comfy home. The folks on call for the property were friendly too. We plan to return next year!

Responsive but poor follow-up
Submitted: April 2, 2012
Stayed: September 2011
The home itself is very nice when we rented last Labor day, but the refrigerator did not hold temperature and our food/drinks were warm. The sound system also did not work.The manager was very responsive and brought over ice and another outdoor refrigerator. We wanted to rent again this year, but asked about the refrigerator being fixed and were told that there was nothing wrong ever with the refrigerator and that we had opened the door too much (which we didn't). When we begged to differ but still wanted to rent, the new management then sent us a nasty follow-up email saying they would never rent to us again. Fairly shocking response since we were repeat customers. Guess what? We'll never rent from you again! If you want to rent this property, don't complain to the new management if anything goes wrong.
Owner's Response: This guest stayed with us last year over Labor Day weekend. He reported that the refrigerator was not cooling correctly. We brought bags of ice along with transporting a spare refrigerator to the location to try and minimize the inconvenience. On Tuesday, after the holiday weekend, we placed a service call to determine the nature of the cooling problem. At the time of the evaluation, which was 3-4 days after the guest's departure, the technician advised us that the refrigerator was cooling correctly. He explained how refrigerators operate and the processes of cooling. His suggestion was that maybe the doors had been opened too frequently, or perhaps warm food had been placed inside. It was quite hot that time of year, so his explanation seemed plausible, and there have been no further problems with the unit.
When this guest contacted us this year, he wanted to rent on the condition that we guarantee our refrigerator to stay between 38 and 41 degrees during their visit or issue him a 10 percent refund. We shared the technician's suggestion of what may have occurred last year, but the guest said it was completely inaccurate. We weren't sure what to do. There have been nearly 50 guests in this home over the course of the past year, and this was the only problem reported with the refrigerator. We do not anticipate a problem, but chose not to enter into an agreement with this guest given the possible point of contention.

Serene and Luxurious

I just wanted to tell you that we had such an amazing time at your cabin! The setting was absolutely gorgeous, and I really appreciated the well-stocked kitchen. The cathedral ceilings and gigantic view windows in the great room were so serene! All of the beds slept our group of 14 comfortably, and the view from the hot tub showed the entire valley. Looking forward to coming back next year!

Great place for a large family
Submitted: January 13, 2012
Stayed: December 2011
My family has gone to Leavenworth for the past 5 years and have stayed at a couple places. This one is by far our favorite, it is comfortably big enough for our whole family (10 people), nice inside, great views, very clean, and has an all around wonderful atmosphere. We have stayed there twice now, and have already booked our third stay for Christmas this year. One thing to consider for anyone that is not familiar with Leavenworth is that this house is not within walking distance of the downtown area, only a 3 minute drive though, and worth it for such a great place.
