Hello happy travelers! We are Owen and Kristin, and we love our job of creating magical retreats for our guests to stay and relax in. Owen is a former contractor and I am an Alaska Airlines flight attendant, and both are real estate brokers. We pride ourselves on creating a rewarding experience for all of our guests. We buy (or help our clients buy) unique properties all around the PNW. We then remodel these homes to chic faux-rustic design. All the way through sourcing furniture and stocking shelves the process goes on. We love family, skiing, hiking, traveling, gardening, photography and searching for new properties to renovate. Our adventure started 10 years ago as house flippers and helping our clients do the same. Things took a turn when we completed our 3 cabin remodels. The plan was to finish and sell them so we could roll into other flips, but the night before listing, while sitting around the campfire, we decided to roll the dice and keep the cabins and turn them into Vacation Rentals. That single decision has completely changed our lives and business plan. Owen and Kristin

**Rusty Bridge River Lodge: A Dog-Friendly Haven Amidst Cascades Charm!** Rusty Bridge River Lodge is a pup friendly cabin that comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests. This fully remodeled cabin, built in 1958, sits adjacent to the single lane Rusty Bridge over the Sauk River, providing guests with breathtaking river views. The cabin features plush queen beds on both the main floor and the loft, all wrapped in hotel-quality cotton linens. The panoramic views of the Sauk River, combined with cozy interiors, promise a memorable retreat. Inside, the inviting living room with its gas fireplace and snug couches offers a haven of relaxation. Meanwhile, the fully equipped kitchen and adjacent patio BBQ invite culinary adventures. This is a 4 season paradise! Beyond the cabin's cozy interiors, relish in your private outdoor space, equipped with an exclusive hot tub overlooking the river. As the evening envelopes, spark up memories around your private fire pit, all set against the backdrop of towering evergreens, epitomizing the Pacific Northwest ambiance. For those driven by wanderlust, the lodge's surroundings beckon with opportunities for kayaking, fly fishing, and hikes through trails leading to hidden waterfalls and iconic locations like Lake 22 and Gothic Basin. Your journey is further enhanced by the vibrant culture of Granite Falls. Dive into the town's spirit with lively bars, intimate tap rooms, aromatic coffee shops, and an array of restaurants capturing the essence of the region. The entire home and property are yours to enjoy. Adjacent cabins are nearby, but each has separate parking areas and entrances and is privacy fenced, providing a peaceful and private atmosphere. Past guests have enjoyed the privacy with hardly a notice of the other guests in those cabins. The firepit by the beach is reserved for you, and river access just below the steps is shared with Mt. Pilchuck River Cabin.
