Had such a nice stay! The home is clearly well loved and taken care of. It was in a great location for everything we wanted to do. We were honestly surprised with how many cooking utensils they had in used to rentals just having one pot one pan and one knife but they have it well stocked! I read the reviews prior so we were prepared for the train and it honestly wasnât that bad. Would definitely stay again next time!
The place is retro, down to earth and nice. We didn't know the train ran right next to it, but it didn't bother us at all. There is a convenient coffee place right next door. One thing I would have done differently is bring our own blankets and pillows for the foldout couch, just for our own comfort... Hot pads for the kitchen and a set of tongs would be handy, but all in all everything we needed was there. Not far from Leavenworth so that was handy and the price was decent. We'd stay again. :) Thanks Chickadee.
The rooms themselves are nice and clean, and the kitchen is fully stocked with all the utensils and cookware youâll need.
Unfortunately the train running right outside has a tendency to keep you awake. There is little the property managers can do about that, though, and they have taken steps to minimize the impact.
One thing seriously missing from the experience, however, is that we could not find any method of controlling the heat. We suspect it is controlled in the associated inn next door but as we were not acquainted with the tenants next door, we had no method of changing the heat.
As far as the tenants next door, I suspect they were lovey people, but every time they left their rooms, the wall of commemorative plates in out suite rattled. Same with when the train went by.
Lastly, the info binder needs some updating. The checkout checklist is directly contradictory to the checkout message I received from the hosts.
In all though, the experience was not bad for me. It is a more affordable option than staying directly in Leavenworthâjust be prepared for lots of noise.
This property is extremely clean, well furnished and decorated. It is absolutely adorable.
If it wasnât for the train, I would definitely want to stay again. Unfortunately, this property is built in an old train depot or building that is literally next to the train tracks. We did not sleep at all the nights that we stayed.
Just a couple minor things there was four of us that stayed. There was only six towels with all of us being women. It wouldâve been nice for us to have the availability of two towels, one for hair, one for your body.
There was no extra blankets or sheets. We couldâve used a couple more blankets. I did not contact the host about this.
The walls are very thin so we could hear our neighbors karaoke party till midnight. This isnât necessarily an issue that can be fixed. It just happened to be the luck of the draw for who is next to us.
And the last thing is the welcome book thatâs on the little table at the front has conflicting information then what is sent to you by the host it just needs to be updated.
Overall, the cleanliness and how it was furnished was great, but the location with the train lowered that my overall review for this property.
No issues or concerns! We loved the place, it was perfect for driving into Leavenworth, not too far. Everything was clean, organized, and clearly explained!
We loved how cute and cozy this place was and it was just a short drive from Leavenworth! Cashmere is also a hidden gem with several cute little shops.
It was conveniently located and incredibly well stocked VRBO. The kitchen was great and made cooking easy with good equipment (pans and knives). We normally bring our own knife because we find those in rentals tend not to work great and we did not need it! The bed was also really quite comfortable to sleep on. The decoration was super fun and 1920's meet 1960's:). Yonder Cider opened at the end of our week there which was a super cool space and within the same building. The proximity to the trains was both awesome and really really close! Chickadee did what they could to help with the noise at night with the horns of the trains (ear plugs, white noise machine, etc) but they do come 2-3 times a night. Thank you for a great week!
