Tranquility View - Off Grid Cabin & Sauna

This beloved getaway is under new ownership, but it remains the same cozy retreat that past guests have enjoyed. We look forward to hosting you! Perched on a South-facing mountain in the narrow Cascade River valley, this home gets lovely light and sits on 5 acres. Access is via a paved, well-maintained road which allows all car types to visit. It is the nearest cabin to the Cascade Pass trailhead. The home interior is coated in maple panels. The main sitting room has large windows that open to views of the glaciers and orchard. There is a Rais wood-burning stove and detailed directions on how to build a fire. Most of the heat in the cooler months is made by the woodstove; plenty of wood is available. A split heater also provides heat in the winter and cooling in the summer. A walnut live-edge desk with 2 chairs provides a lovely place to write, work, read, and eat while overlooking the valley. A custom wrap-around sofa provides ample sitting room (it is 8 feet on each side) and about the size of a twin bed for sleeping should more than 2 guests be staying. The kitchen has marble countertops and a Kohler sink. There is a fridge, freezer, and gas stove/oven. There is also a Breville countertop oven that is fast and easy to use. Sharp knives and cutting boards, pots and pans, silverware and plates, a French press and kettle, and all the kitchen accoutrement available for use. The Japanese-tiled bathroom has a lovely shower with high pressure hot water and is stocked with bath products. A large outdoor deck provides the perfect vantage to take in the giant maples, firs, cedars, and alders, and to enjoy the quiet and solitude of the narrow valley. Two Adirondack chairs and a large cedar bench offer a great way to look up at the evening sky or to take a nap in the afternoon sunshine. There is also a gas fire pit. The sauna is perched above with a view of the large glacier and is the perfect spot to restore after a long day of hiking or relaxing. The wood burning stove gets the sauna heated in about 30 minutes. Stroll around and pick apples, blueberries, blackberries, and plums from one of the 70+ fruit trees on the property. Enjoy taking your tea on the deck with our outdoor wrought iron table and chairs with seating for four. High-speed, low-latency satellite internet is available via Starlink. This service allows guests to use the internet as if they were in a city; you will be able to stream movies/shows, place WiFi phone calls (eg, FaceTime calls) and texts, browse the internet, etc with no data caps or limits.
