Great place to relax and enjoy the surroundings of the river and property. There are some general maintenance issues that should be taken care before they become a problem but minor at this point. Huge yard and deck. Great for our pet. Would recommend it.

Manager's Response

We're glad you enjoyed your stay and found the property relaxing. It's great to hear that you and your pet love the large yard and deck. Your feedback is valuable as it helps us maintain the property. We'll address these issues promptly to ensure future guests have an even better experience.

This is truly a home away from home. We love coming here every is just off the freeway but it feels like you are deep in the woods. There is enough space for all 10 of us and room for more. Our older kids love the big game
room. The property management is always easy to get ahold of, easy to work with, and quick to help resolve any issues that we have had. We will be back in 2024.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Polly! We're delighted to hear that our property feels like a home away from home for your family. We appreciate your positive comments about the location, space, and amenities, especially the big game room. It's fantastic to know that our property management has been responsive and helpful. We look forward to welcoming you back in 2024!

This cabin was very spacious for my family and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and they gave a new towels for the hot tub. It was like a home away from home. We were so comfortable we didn't even get a chance to explore outside much. They kids loved the game room and the master bathroom was my piece of heaven with the jacuzzi bath every morning. It was clean and management was always available and helpful when needed. Definitely recommend and will return for a longer stay next time.

Manager's Response

Hi Diamond, it is so heartwarming to hear that we are able to provide you with an excellent stay. Glad that you had everything you needed for your getaway from the kitchen to the game room and to the bathroom. We hope you have created wonderful memories too. Staying longer is such a nice plan and we are looking forward to that on your future getaway! - Team VR365

Great family home. Lots of space. Highly recommend and would definitely return. Great sled hill right in the yard. Husbands fished the river. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub. Only a couple of negatives, but definitely not deal breakers. Lots of dog poop in the yard from neighborhood dogs that we had to clean so the kids didn’t step in it. Yuck. Also, microwave was straight out of the 80’s and didn’t work great. We tried to pop popcorn and it didn’t go great. Maybe half of the bag popped. Again, not a deal breaker, just good info to be aware of. Last was the spiders in the basement. We had to do daily sweeps to kill the spiders or else the kids refused to sleep down there, especially after one fell off of the ceiling onto one of the kids!!

Manager's Response

Hello Stacie,


We appreciate you taking the time to leave such a thorough review. The sledding hill and how close you are to the river are such a bonus! We are glad you loved it. Thank you for the notes about the microwave, yard, and spiders. I have passed them along to our team. We are glad that these were not deal breakers and you still had a marvelous time! Please come back and see us soon when you need another vacation!

My family and I along with a few friends rented the Yakima River Retreat for a week long getaway and we couldn’t have been more pleased! The house is a beautiful Lindell style log home that is very well kept. The grounds are beautiful with lots of space to enjoy the serenity of the river below. The rooms are spacious, giving the 10 of us more than enough space relax in our own spaces. The kitchen is THE MOST well stocked kitchen I’ve ever found from a vacation rental, and not just in volume! The appliances, cookware and cutlery are quality. Our kids enjoyed the hot tub throughout the week, but for me, nothing beats that riverfront access. It’s incredible. Yes, there are cross river neighbors, but you hardly see them. Yes, the Interstate is close but you rarely hear it. We floated the river, dropping in to the west and floating back down to the property, which was a great experience. There are yard games and we even left our tubes for the next family to enjoy. We even had a potential issue with railroad maintenance hindering accessibility to the cabin, but Derek from VR365 contacted the powers that be to endure we had an alternate route in just in case. I have rented 4-5 homes in the Cle Elum area through the years and this is my favorite, by far. We will be back!!

This cabin is excellent. Easy to get to, spacious, and loaded with amenities to make the stay easy, relaxing, and enjoyable. Our group went during winter as part of a snowmobiling weekend for a friend and it was everything and more. I'm kind of tempted to go back during summer as it sits on the Yakima River and has a nicely developed yard/patio. Highly recommend.

Such a lovely, well thought out home! The space was so inviting, everything was clean and good quality. We had 3 couples and our Golden Retriever and it never felt crowded. We could have easily invited another couple and still have had room for everyone! Nice river access, beautiful landscaping! The only drawback for us was the timer for the fireplace. We didn’t have the tv on, and didn’t figure out SONOS until the second day, so the timer was a constant background noise, ticking and ticking and ticking. But once you figure out the music and/or turn the tv on for Sunday football, you no longer notice it.

Every summer for the last 10 years or so my buddies from college and I get together somewhere in the mountains for a reunion to fish, hike, have some cocktails, eat too much, etc. This house was probably the best house we have ever rented. The house is just as pictured and felt even bigger. Very clean, very well cared for, well stocked kitchen, HUGE back area that backs right on the Yakima River. It was great to walk right out on a warm day into the river to give the trout an opportunity to laugh at my attempts to catch them. We would love to return in future years.

Manager's Response

Hello Doug, it was a pleasure working with you leading up to your stay at Yakima River Retreat. I am thrilled to see that the home more than met your expectations for your annual friend trip. All of us here at VR 365 and the Homeowners love reading reviews like yours, which describe our guest’s trips in detail and let us know what they loved about the home and the area. Hopefully next visit you'll have an opportunity to catch some of those tricky trout! :-) When you are ready to book again, visit our website which provide our best rates and seasonal promotions.

I reserved and paid ahead as normal for the rental of this condo on the beach for a week in July. My family and I have been going to Indian Rocks Beach for the last nine years. It was our planned vacation destination nine years ago when my husband of 34 years died suddenly of a heart attack. So, we always go in basically the same week as a memorial of him. This was the first time in this condo. The condo is wonderful; on the beach side, close to many places we like, and very comfortable and clean..except for the ants in the master bathroom and by the front door. However, no one bothered to tell us that we would indeed NOT be able to get directly on the beach...after the first day, because of the beach being refurbished. It was blocked off by orange mesh and the beach was covered with bulldozers, tractors, backhoes, pipes, buildings,... The realty company, Seaside Realty, and the condo owners were told the dates back in November of 2017. The schedule was also on the internet for anyone who knew it was happening to check and follow. We had to walk/drive a block down in either direction to get to the beach...not right out our condo which is mostly why we rented as not to have to cross a street to get to the water. It made it all very inconvenient, and there was no compensation at all from the owners. On top of that, they accused us of staining a couch and stealing a bed sheet. I sent pictures taken on my way out of the condo on the last morning proving neither were true. Needless to say, my deposit was not returned to me. As much as I enjoyed the condo, itself, I will never stay there again or rent anything from Seaside Reality.

Manager's Response

We are very sorry that you feel your vacation rental and the property management company was not to your satisfaction. However, we are unable to take care of issues that are not reported to our office. The first record of you calling in was the afternoon of the 6th day of your stay. And even at that time, you did not report a problem with ants. This call was regarding the beach re-nourishment and you inquiring about a rent credit. You state that the owners and the management company were told the dates of the re-nourishment. All that we knew was it was supposed to begin November, 2017. They were delayed over and over without explanation. So to state that we knew the dates the work would be done is incorrect. The maps that are posted have been delayed over and over as well. Previous to your stay, the owner had occupied their unit as they are local; and after your stay the owner occupied the unit. The owners are the ones who reported the permanent marker spots and an oil stain on their sofa. The picture that you state you sent was a distant shot of the sofa with the throw pillows covering up the marks and is not date stamped; nor did you supply the date stamp as asked. The owners found the children's marker that matched the marks on the sofa. We only charged you for the professional attempted cleaning of the stains. We informed you that we had not found the missing sheet and were not charging for that anyhow. We did not accuse you of stealing a sheet, we only stated we could not find it. The marker stains did not come out of the sofa and the owners will have to purchase a new one. Management

The house was everything we could have hoped for and more! Well stocked from the kitchen, to board games, entertainment center, outdoor fun...this place has it all. The view from the deck is amazing, the yard was so huge and private, the house was extremely comfortable for our large family, and of course you can't beat being able to flyfish and wade in the river right from your backyard. Really not a thing to complain about. Great place in a great location made for a very memorable family vacation!

Hi Ramsey, thank you for the very complementary review of Yakima River Retreat.

Very nice property in a great location. Single zone heat/air thermostat making it very hard to get the basement bedrooms to warm up due to the thermostat being upstairs beside the fireplace.

Manager's Response

Thanks Jesse for staying with us at Yakima River Retreat. Happy to read you enjoyed the home and the location. Yakima River Retreat is an older home that sits in a very tranquil setting. The owner has made some wonderful updates throughout the entire home, one of which was the addition of the large lower bedroom. The heating system can be challenging for the downstairs bedrooms if the gas fireplace is left on for hours and when the upstairs temperature reaches 72+ degrees. This will cause the heating system to turn off. We recommend turning the gas fireplace off a few hours before going to bed to help increase and maintain the lower bedroom heat. We also provide this information in our mobile app and have a sign posted above the heating thermostat. Vacation Rental 365 - Derek

This house is fantastic. Four adults spent a wonderful long weekend enjoying the house and the property. We only have four small suggestions: 1. the lighting throughout the house is much too dim. Kitchen and bedrooms need more light. instructions are inaccurate. need updating 3.wish there were more condiments like basic olive oil, ketchup,mayo and the like so we don't have to buy or bring them. 4. wish the kitchen knives were better, their dull knifes are dangerous. All minor, we will absolutely come back.

Manager's Response

Thanks Kenyon for GREAT 5 Star Review! I will pass along your comments to our owners regarding the knife set in the kitchen. It’s a business practice for all our homes that we don’t supply the majority of the condiments you have suggested. It can becomes a liability since we don't know how it was cared for during any past guests stay. Thanks again for staying with us and we hope to see you back again sometime soon. P.S.

Before I begin: the VR365 team is fantastic - this is our 5 or 6th vac rental with them – truly amazing customer service.
As for the house: great layout, fabulous property. All bathrooms are remodeled and beautiful (master bath is out-of-this-world). I guess comfortable is the word, comfy beds, decent furniture, nothing too fancy (IKEA sheets, Walmart dinnerware) but just right. Helpful labels/directions throughout the house. Wonderful master bedroom with patio access. Awesome living area – large kitchen, dining room and plenty of seating options in the living space. Kids bdroom was perfect.
Few suggestions: More dining chairs would be nice (only 6). The queen bedroom downstairs could use an upgrade so it's more in line with bedrooms upstairs. Sadly, wifi wasn't great and the dvd player didn't work - I'd recommend getting a new Blu-ray player. Lastly, we had some heating issues which got taken care off immediately (thanks again!).
All-in-all, we had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend: unforgettable views from the house, the river in the back, the proximity to Seattle... it was truly a perfect getaway for our three families.

A short walk and your on the beach. You have a multitude of restaurants nearby including PJ, Lulu's Keegans, and Bonefish Grill all great places to eat. tHE BEACH IS QUIET WITH BEUATIFUL WHITe SAND. tHE POOL IS HEATED BUT SMALL. A great to spend a month out of the cold.

This home was a great place for us to spend 4 nights with our kids. We had 4 adults and 3 teens 2 boys and 1 girl. Plenty of room for eveyone to relax and play games. The river is a quick walk out back and the property is huge and very private. Excellent value for us close to Seattle but you feel far away. We took long walks and played games made meals. Kids never once turned on a TV ! We will be back this summer

Manager's Response

Thank you Russel for your Perfect 5 Star Review! We couldn't be more pleased to hear that you and your family had a wonderful getaway at Yakima River Retreat and enjoyed all the amenities the home has to offer. The outdoor space and proximity to the river is truly the main attraction of the property and is a great place to unwind and get kids to "unplug" and enjoy nature. We strive to make sure that our guests' experience leaves them wanting to stay with us again, so we are excited to hear that you plan on returning this summer! Looking forward to seeing you then. - VR 365 Manager

Overall, this was a great house. Very well laid out, open layout, great beds and lots of rooms. The issues I saw written around heat were addressed (though because of the layout of the house, the downstairs is colder than the upstairs, especially if you have the fireplace going). We saw deer every day very close to the house, so that was also amazing.

The mgmt was very friendly, responsive and professional as well. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay.

The only downside (and one easily avoidable for future guests) is to not park underneath the garage during the winter (or park at least three feet back). Apparently, as the weather froze and and warmed, a thick layer of ice formed on the top of the garage roof and then slid off at some point and deeply damaged the hood of two of our cars parked there. There was no warning regarding this and we had to pay for the damage out of pocket, which made this staycation a suddenly expensive vacation.

But again, overall, this is a fantastic house - just a little renter beware.

Manager's Response

Jane, thank you for staying with us at Yakima River Retreat and for providing us with feedback regarding your stay. We are so glad you enjoyed the house and got to experience a visit from wildlife up close and personal as well! We were so sorry to hear about the unfortunate timing of the snow/ice sheet sliding off the garage roof when you were parked underneath; this is a common occurrence with freezing and melting ice and snow in the winter months in the area, although not one that typically results in any damage. We will be sure to put a notice in the arrival instructions next winter for future guests. Thank you for the positive feedback regarding our "friendly, responsive and professional" service and we hope to see you again soon! - VR 365 Manager

My friends and I had a great time at Yakima River Retreat! It was a short drive from Seattle, allowing us quickly make ourselves and home and get down to business of relaxing and catching up! We made good use of the hot tub and loved having the John Wayne Trail within walking (or snowshoeing) distance from the house. Woke up Saturday morning to a couple dozen deer in the back yard by the river. Of course, we loved the proximity to Suncadia and Roslyn! It was hard to pack up and go home. We all talked about staying another day and we'd love to come experience Yakima River Retreat in the summer, too.

Overall the house was cozy and comfortable with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The bathroom renos are amazing, so hopefully the kitchen will happen soon, too! Our only trouble was the hot tub went into economy mode our last night and was a little chilly.

Manager's Response

Erin, we are so happy to hear you had a great time at Yakima River Retreat! One of the unique features of this particular property is its proximity to the areas attractions while still being in a private and tranquil setting. We hope to have you as a return guest to experience Yakima River in the summer when the grounds are at their very best! - Vacation Rental 365 - Derek

This was a wonderful escape for 10 adults. We loved the spacious, comfortable living room and the many amenities. We enjoyed grilling and enjoying the hot tub while snow was falling. The house was clean and well appointed. The area had been experiencing some flooding just prior to our stay but when I called to inquire about how the state of the property the response was very prompt and they had just been to check at the house. Everything was great!

Manager's Response

Annie, Thank you for your 5 Star Review! We are so pleased you and your group enjoyed all the amenities Yakima River Retreat has to offer. The covered outdoor grill on the deck is one of our favorite features of this home as well :- ) We look forward to having you stay with us again soon. - Vacation Rental 365 - Manager

We rented this home for our family Thanksgiving getaway. The home is beautiful and in a great location, as well as spacious and rustic which gives it the "Cabin" feel. The Hot tub is fantastic! The only complaint was the temperature inside. The common
areas were "ok" but the bedrooms were very cold to the point we all had to sleep in sweats and sweatshirts the first night, coupled with the fact that there were no extra blankets or pillows in the home. It was in the 15-20 degree range outside. We found out
that the owners have the thermostat "locked out" to a max temp of 70 to "limit the heating bills in winter". When we were able to "unlock" the t-stat and raise the setting, I got an email from the Property Manager saying that they noticed we turned it up(Wi-Fi
notification). They owners compromised to raise the temp to 72. This helped but the home remained just below "cozy". Other than the issue with the t-stat and low interior temp, the house is great and would provide a great stay for any large group. The property
manager contacted me following our stay and he has assured me that these issues have been worked out with the owners. I appreciated the follow up and am sure that this will not be an issue moving forward for future guests.

THe location was beautiful. The house was nice, partially remodeled. Could be finished but still nice. The rules you had to read through were a bit ridiculous. Not sure if they had a bad experience before or what, but the most rules I have ever seen at a vacation rental. The carpets and furniture were not that nice. Could have been cleaner as the drawers were sticky etc. Room for improvement.

Manager's Response

Thanks Laura for choosing to stay with us at Yakima River Retreat. I'm happy to read you were happy with the location of the home. I'm not sure what rules you read that put you off however communication is important to our success to ensure that our guests respect our owners properties and our surrounding neighbors. Thanks for the heads up and sorry about the oversight regarding the dresser drawers being sticky. Please be sure to visit our website to view our Winter Free Nights Specials.

This is a beautiful home and location. We had 6 adults and 3 children under 8 and all had a great time and experience. Our sons got in two days of fly fishing on the Yakima river and caught several fish and really enjoyed their time on the river. We had several family meals utilizing the outdoor grill and the fully equipped kitchen. Having multiple bedrooms and bathrooms were a real bonus. The house was beautifully done and furnished and very clean.

Manager's Response

Thanks Don for the Great Review! Yakima River Retreat is wonderful riverfront home that is extremely private with lots to do outdoors. Pretty special that you were able to go fly fishing with your son. We appreciate you choosing Vacation Rental 365 and look forward to having you back again sometime soon. - Derek

This place was absolutely beautiful. Secluded and next to a river, couldn't ask for more. The house is huge, clean and has all the amenities you would need. We had so much fun playing volleyball, running around in the huge backyard and watching people go down the river. Had a blast at Cle Elum Lake, about 20 mins away. Grocery store and gas station within 10 minutes away, making it convenient for last minute items. Overall we are very satisfied with the house. The only down fall, freezer was not cold enough, it melted our ice cream. Derek and Calli were awesome! Always there to answer my questions and was very attentive. We're definitely booking this place again for future annual family vacation if we are in the area. I strongly recommend this place, absolutely amazing!!!

Manager's Response

Thanks Ning for the awesome review and kind words about VR 365. I'm happy that the home fit all your family needs and the river and yard was a hit. We look forward to having you back sometime soon. We will also look into the freezer hiccup you experienced. I bet it just needs to be turned up. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Vacation Rental 365 - Derek & Lauren

We had an amazing time at this house! The house looks like the pictures. The grounds are much bigger and nicer than the pictures would lead you to believe. We were very busy with a wedding so we did not get to spend as much time as we would have liked. Definitely will consider staying here again.

Thanks Lonnie for the great review! We are happy you choose our riverfront home to stay during your wedding. I agree the private grounds are massive with lots of grass to play outdoor games in. Plus 150' riverfront to enjoy. Look forward to having you back! Vacation Rental 365 - Derek

This rental experience was A+! We have rented over 10 vacation homes/places and this was the best rental experience we have had. The staff is so effecient and professional. We had absolutely zero problems, does that ever happen?

This home is breathtaking and words are not adequate to describe the feelings that you have staying in it. Our only regret- not staying longer. We will be back. There is so much room in this home, it is amazing. The river flows right behind the house, which is so fun. We tubed down the river. We came to Cle Elum for a High School graduation that was held in Ellensburg. This home was super convenient because although it's nestled away for privacy and a relaxing getaway location it is also convenient to Highway 90 access quickly. We had 3 teens with us and 4 more that visited and they all loved the place! The volleyball net was the biggest hit- It sets up nicely on the lawn and some played while others tubed the river. The grill is amazing. The outdoor furniture is very accommodating. This home has a spa-like (zen type) garden in the back which is so relaxing. This home is perfect in every way and we absolutely, without reservation recommend to anyone to stay here if you are visiting Cle Elum. It's AWESOME!

We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the unit. Living room, kitchen and master bedroom were all very large. Bathrooms were clean when we arrived. The telephone worked sporatically and sometimes cut out when talking. Rental agent provided us with one of their phones. It was very nice to have all the long distance calls back to Canada covered. The pullout couch needs anew mattress. It was very uncomfortable. Other than those two inconveniences everything was fine.

Though our unit was not on the beach, the Indian Rocks location was central to many restaurants and beach activities. Having easy access to other Pinellas Beaches and their offerings was also a plus. Our Villa was well appointed and contemporary in feel. We appreciated the big screen TV for our mid-winter stay. The sunsets were just beautiful!
