Every year my family goes to Leavenworth using Vacasa. The place we normally use was booked so I went with Ridgeview Retreat. I always get nervous going to new spaces because I have young adult (and kind of spicy) children, a spirited little 3 year old grand daughter and a husband who gets over stimulated and needs to check out a few times during the trip. Also because I have such a big family thebkitchen utensils is always a worry so I bring my own pans, knives and things like a strainer; well I didn't need to us any of it!! This place had everything I needed and then some. The owners reached out before our trip, offered an early check in and wanted to make sure the cleanliness was up to our standard- made me feel very well taken care of. On day of check out they also reached out and wished us safe travels home- that truly made all the difference. Now the property. The pictures DO NOT do it justice. There are 3 stories and SO much space. Plenty of blankets, pillows- a lot of sitting room everywhere- not cramped at all and we had a couple of family members that were not going to come originally that ended up being available (brother, nephew and another one of my daughters) and there truly was more than enough room for everyone. We had people playing ping pong and air hockey down stairs, other people watching movies on the main floor, littles making gingerbread houses at the dining room table and 3 of the grown children (2 18 year olds and a 20 year old) laughing and catching up on the 3rd floor (where the bunk beds are). There a multiple balconies for people to just step outside and get fresh air a little bit. The hot tub was clean and warm- they provided towels specifically for the hot tub which was really nice as well. You're about a half an hour from Leavenworth which was fine because all of the good vacation home style units are. We didn't get snow unfortunately but also all 3 cars were awd or 4wd optional which you will need if it's a heavy snow. I couldn't figure out how to login to the streaming services but it was not that big of deal because we aren't big tv people when on vacation and there were dvd's available for the early morning cuddles with my little granddaughter while we waited for everyone else to wake up (we watched Bolt which she was fine with). Also the appliances- everything worked really well which isn't always the case (huge washer and dryer that seemed newer, dishwasher, microwave) All in all this was a pretty perfect space for our family getaway and I highly reccomend this property.
