Fun quick getaway

This property is not huge, and yet packs on space for everyone without feeling packed in. The grounds are stunning with access to the river. There are many seating options inside and out. My favorite surprise was all the dog-ready dishes and mud roomIt's simply a perfect spot! We loved every minute of our time there

Romantic getaway

We had a wonderful long weekend, the home was lovely and cozy. Excellent hot tub, big yard with easy river access. As an added bonus, we lost power during a summer storm, and the generator kicked on and we had power all night! Looking forward to our return...

Weekend Birthday Stay

My family booked Owl Be Back for my sisters birthday and it was a blast. The inside is comfortable and accommodated our group of 8. We ate dinner outside both nights and loved being able to visit the river in the morning while we had coffee and skipped rocks. We were all sad to leave and could have easily spent a couple more days here. Owl be back one day, I hope!

Great!

Such an amazing area and an amazing piece of property. The river was so beautiful just a quick walk down through the woods. I was very impressed with the amount of utensils and cookware in the kitchen we didn’t need for anything. Plenty of beds for the whole family. Really it was the perfect getaway for our family of six. The ease of the stay was amazing. The hot tub was sparkling clean which made us very happy.

Great location for snow skiing get-a-ways

Our family rented Owl Be Back for three weekends of snow skiing at Stevens Pass and loved the place. It's well maintained and equipped with everything we needed for fun times in the mountains, including a nice hot tub for relaxing after a day on the slopes. Tree Line Rentals had the place perfectly ready for us each weekend and was able to accommodate our requests for late checkouts so we didn't have to cut short our Sunday ski days. We would recommend Owl Be Back and look forward to coming back ourselves next season.

Another Great Ski Season at Owl Be Back

This was the second year our family stayed multiple weekends at Owl Be Back during the ski season. We just love this beautiful cabin. It is always super clean and ready for our arrival each week. The cabin is equipped with everything, is comfortable in all respects. And we all love soaking in the well-maintained hot tub after a day on the slopes. Thank you to everyone who make this what it is. We are already looking forward to next season at Owl Be Back. The Roberts Crew

Tree Line Vacation Rentals has great service

Unfortunately the property was not cleaned before we arrived due to an error. Tree Line Vacation Rentals was super responsive and apologetic and quickly offered my party a few different options to upgrade to. Even though we didn't end up staying at this location, I would recommend the company and will be keeping it in mind for future getaways. We will be back for sure.

We stayed here for a family vacation with our family of four with two kids under 6, my dad and my sister. We wanted a little family vacation to wrap up the summer and had planned to just hang out on the property to fish, play yard games, enjoy the river and hot tub. We got to do most of these things though make sure you check to see if fishing is allowed. An absolutely beautiful location, but the power did go out for the most part of an entire day which really put a damper on it as we had food we had to keep cold/frozen so we needed to use the generator, but it didn't turn on automatically because there wasn't any propane in it as apparently the power was out previously and used the generators propane up, the propane people just happened to be refilling that day so eventually we had the generator but again it was loud, and ruined the tranquility. It also made it impossible to listen for wildlife including bears which we did have come across our yard.. property could use a fence or bear spray just in case as a bear ran across the property multiple times so it's not exactly a child friendly atmosphere. The power was basically a whole ordeal and a loud one at that. It didn't ruin the whole trip but it sure wasn't fun and relaxing to deal with.The towels were a bit smelly which I reported to the property management so hopefully that's fixed. Otherwise a wonderful location with a beautiful river, the cabin is adorable, and was well stocked with kitchen items.

PERFECT Escape with an incredible outdoor space

This cabin is gorgeous, impeccably clean and insanely well appointed. It is a mere 24 miles to Steven's Pass for skiing. It was stocked with everything we needed for a great holiday Ski week. We especially loved the back yard which is huge, and leads to a gorgeous riverfront landing. In the setting of a huge snow dump, it was the perfect space for snow-people and snow angles. The outdoor fire pit is delightful. We can't wait to stay in this beautiful cabin again. Thank you, Bud and Beth, for giving us a much needed respite for the holidays.

An unexpected problem on the property forced a last minute change in location. The property manager, Tree Line responded quickly, professionally and thankfully successfully in finding a replacement home for our long planned family vacation. The cabin they found us was spectacular, wish I could review it here. We have stayed at Owl be Back in. the past and surely will return. Thanks to all involved in getting us into a wonderful place

Overall good stay but not staying again.

Upon walking in, I was very impressed by the layout. The good: well stocked kitchen (a lot of tools), plenty of burners and prep space, efficient sink and dishwasher, large fridge, nice layout and separation between the bedrooms, the layout in the living room is cozy. The best part was the hot tub right off the deck, which managed to stay within the 101-104 range the entire time (we were hot most of the time). For a group of 7 snowboarding at Stevens, it was pretty great and I never felt cramped. Stereo system was also very enjoyable to play games. The not so good: So I've stayed with this Company and while this place was REALLY well stocked, I'd probably stay at the other place over this one where the hot tub was having issues. 4 of us really struggled to sleep because the beds were very dated. Any time one person moved a little, it would wake up the other person up (happened to at least two couples). Secondly, my partner and I are severely allergic to dogs and I knew we were in trouble when we walked in and saw dog bowls and a cat chasing toy! My partner's symptoms are more acute than mine, and he really struggled the entire trip. Lastly, it fits 8 but I wish they would swap out the furniture to include a sofa sleeper in the living room to keep a couple's privacy :) Overall, it was a great stay as it did what it was intended to do - which was be an efficient launching pad for our long weekend snowboard trip at Stevens, but definitely beware if you are allergic!

Great location right on the river

If you are looking for a place to disconnect from the city, this is a great place to stay. You have the river right outside the back porch. The new hot tub is perfect to relax in while looking out at the river. Very spacious bedrooms with lots of beds to sleep in.

Perfect Getaway

Needed to get away from our desks and treat our pup to a beautiful weekend, and this was the best choice. The house was amazing, and a perfect setting to relax in. Equipped with all the tools you need to cook everything from a romantic pasta dinner to a pork roast, you never have to leave. The setting, stunning. Surrounded by rich Pacific Northwest old growth, with nearby hiking, I didn't want to leave. The short walk through the backyard, down the whimsically lit path to the river shore, I already miss it. The hot tub is a fabulous addition, enjoyed it everyday. Highly recommend this location for a romantic couples getaway and treating your pup.

Perfect getaway

Wonderful location on the river and the house was very clean and comfortable! We had a wonderful stay and would happily rent this home again! We brought a kayak and stand up paddle boards and had fun playing around on the river. The water was nice and calm by the cabin, so it was easy to just let the kids play. We loved sitting in the hot tub in the evening and ate our dinners out in the backyard!

A charming and well appointed riverfront cabin in the woods

This place was lovely. Close enough to Seattle so it was a reasonable drive, but far enough to feel that we were truly away. The yard is generous and tree-lined, and there is a path down to a private stretch of the river that feels cozy and secluded. I did yoga by the river... it was glorious. The house itself was impeccable, and extremely comfortable. Just a really charming and well appointed cabin in the woods! You won't regret it.
