I’m an Artisan Log Cabin perched high above the Stilliguamish River. You can find me hiding in the morning shadow of Mt. Pilchuck and always with a watchful eye on the river valley below. As you drive past my gate and enter the 10+ acre property, you’ll be greeted and surrounded by nature and wildlife on every side. Upon crossing my threshold, you will immediately notice that many moons ago each and every log was meticulously selected, cut, hand-scraped and placed with precision high above the river’s edge. My view from each and every window has your ‘serenity now’ in mind!

Inside my walls, I’m tastefully decorated with stuff of old and new, but I’d much rather draw your attention to the beauty that’s all around me. Sometimes you just need to get away. To rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit, and take a break from society. A cozy, romantic log cabin tucked far away in the forest is perfect for this. No people around, only peace and nature. The forest is not merely an expression or representation of sacredness, nor a place to invoke the sacred; the forest is sacredness itself. It’s a living cathedral! Come and experience this sacredness at the River Ranch. Rest, relax and rejuvenate!

Inside, you’ll have over 2000 square feet to unwind. Outside, you’ll have a nature sanctuary to engulf you.

Cozy up to the wood burning stove with a good book. Soak in the hot tub outside or the jacuzzi bath tub for 2 and watch the hummingbirds right outside. Make s’mores while star gazing. Nap on the handmade swing and listen to the babbling brook that runs along the entire property. Watch eagles catch fish in the Stilly River below. Feed the squirrels, birds and chipmunks on the back deck. Binge watch a show on Netflix or Amazon video on one of the 3 flat screen TVs. Sit on the front porch and watch the deer feed on an apple tree. Cook a meal in the fully equipped kitchen. Reconnect with your partner over a fun board game. Your possibilities are endless at the River Ranch.

Guests have access to everything inside the cabin except the master closet. Guests are not allowed to venture off into any areas of the property with critical slope. **Please note, as this is our personal residence and due to medical reasons, we have a service animal exemption and cannot accept service animals or emotional support animals of any kind.

Charlie, your host, will be in the guest house on the property and can be available as needed.

    Incredible property! The most beautiful place we have stayed at so far. The view went beyond our expectations! Charlie is a great host and answered all of our questions, met with us when we first arrived to show us around and also met with us when we were leaving to see how we liked everything, he was very hospitable. We will definitely be back!

    First we would like to thank the Clark's for sharing this magical place with us! It was our second time visiting within two months...that's how special it is!! The lovely greeting from Charlie is always so welcoming and easy-going. The vibe of this home is so cool with a rustic southwestern asian charm to it. The views are top notch and the daily greetings from squirrels, chipmunks, birds and don't get me started about the hummingbirds... they fly right up to you as to welcome as well!! This home is so comfortable that you almost feel like it's yours. We will continue to book this tucked away gem for years to come.

    We could not have asked for a more perfect vacation in a more perfect home. The view is stunning, the home was very clean, and no detail was spared for a romantic stay. The owners are on the property in the guest house, but we didn't even see them the entire time unless we needed help with something - and they were available quickly and extremely friendly. We would stay here again and again!!! We were so sad to leave. The property is conveniently located about 15 minutes from downtown Arlington. Shopping was excellent, coffee shops were delicious, and so many scenic drives and national parks nearby. You will not be disappointed.

    This property provided the perfect escape for my husband and I to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, relax, and enjoy quality time together. The peaceful setting, thoughtful details, and welcoming atmosphere created an experience that exceeded our expectations and made our stay truly memorable.One of the highlights of our stay was the breathtaking views. Whether enjoying a morning cup of coffee or watching the evening light settle over the landscape, the scenery was absolutely stunning and added so much to the peaceful atmosphere. It felt like a place where time slowed down and you could truly appreciate the beauty around you.We also loved the beautiful kitchen. It was thoughtfully designed, well-equipped, and a joy to cook in. Preparing meals together while taking in the incredible views made for some of our favorite moments of the trip. Pots, pans, dishes and some basic cooking essentials were Even though the hosts were staying on the property during our visit, the space felt incredibly private and secluded. They struck the perfect balance of being available if needed while giving us plenty of room to enjoy our time together.The accommodations were comfortable, peaceful, and thoughtfully maintained. We left feeling refreshed, rested, and grateful for such a memorable experience. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet, romantic retreat and can't wait to stay here again.

    I really really enjoyed my time at this property. The outdoor living room was just perfect, watch some tv while looking out past the deck to the beautiful landscape was too perfect. Then a quick hop over into the hot tub was the icing on the cake. If you’re looking to get away from city life but having a small town near, well this space is perfect. The Clarks were great host and made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Truly a place I’ve got marked for a future revisit!!!!

    What an incredible blessing that the Clarks are sharing their home with others. By far our most favorite and relaxing place to stay!! And how nice of Charlie to welcome you when you first get there and walk you through the house, making sure you know where everything is located. The views from all the back windows and back porch are breathtakingly beautiful!! Our stay was for 10 days. With the house being centrally located it allowed for half of our time to be spent hiking in the mountains, seeing an incredible waterfall, visiting the nearby whidbey island, attending the tulip festival, walking the Centennial Trail through the surrounding small towns, visiting Farm stands, and eating at some incredible restaurants. The other half was spent relaxing at the house, enjoying the hot tub, exploring the secret trail through the woods, listening to the waterfall, watching birds, chipmunks, and squirrels, and just taking in the view!! The Clarks have thought of everything you will need!! And the bed, the couch, the recliners are so comfortable. This place is truly a piece of heaven on earth!! We hope to return for another getaway soon!!

    Incredible and unforgettable! A truly special home and property. We went in the fall which was just beautiful with all the leaves on the trees changing colors. The moment we stepped in the front door and saw the gorgeous view out into the mountains and the river flowing through the valley, not only were we blown away by the beauty but we felt so relaxed and comfortable. The Clarks have done an outstanding job of thinking of all the little things one may need to feel comforable and at home. Big comfy recliner chairs with cozy blankets by the huge window, we spent hours and hours in those, just taking in the view. We also spent hours in the hot tub, sometimes just in the quiet looking at the view and also watching Sunday football, which by the way is now the only way to watch football as far as I'm concerned, what a treat! We followed a trail through the woods at the back of the property which led to a little waterfall and some more amazing views. The fresh air was amazing! It really is hard to describe how you feel when you're in this home, it's like no other place we've stayed. Every seat is comfortable, every pillow is plush, no matter where you are in the house you look out to beautiful surroundings. And the house itself is decorated so thoughtfully, you can tell so much love has gone into every little bit.Clarks, we can't thank you enough for opening up your home, and we can't wait to see you again next

    100% the best and most beautiful property my wife and I have ever stayed at. You feel like you're in a mountain resort. Every detail is covered with the amenities of a 5-star hotel. We can't wait to come back for another romantic weekend. The town of Arlington is nice and we highly recommend stopping at the Stilly Diner for breakfast. On top of all that, we actually got to see the moon rise at 10pm from the hotub! So amazing. Thank you Clark family!

    This property is definitely at the top of the list for romantic getaways. The view is like a painting and the wildlife (birds, squirrels and deer) are plentiful. I stayed 2 nights here with my husband and it was perfect. We had all the amenities we needed and felt right at home almost instantly. The bed was comfortable as were the lounge chairs and sectional on the deck. Watching movies while in the hot tub was an added bonus. There are also amazing hikes nearby and great restaurants so you have the best of everything. You could also very easily just stay and relax in the cabin and be very happy. Our hosts were very respectful of our privacy and made sure we had everything we needed. I HIGHLY recommend a stay here. I am sure we will be back and have referred friends already.

    My wife and I alternate planning our anniversary each year, and this gem has set the bar incredibly high for her to top next time! We booked Charlie and Jessie’s property for our 6th anniversary, and it was an absolute find.Charlie is a fantastic host. He greeted us warmly upon arrival, walked us through a few simple rules, and was super easy to communicate with throughout our stay. After the initial welcome, he and Jessie gave us complete privacy—we didn’t see them again, which was perfect for our romantic getaway.The photos on the listing don’t do this place justice. The views are breathtaking, and even if you visit during the rainy season, don’t be discouraged. We were lucky to catch a stunning rainbow after a bit of sun, which made the experience even more magical. The property spans 10 acres, offering plenty of space to explore. It’s also conveniently located just 11 minutes from downtown Arlington. For a delicious breakfast, we highly recommend Blue Bird Cafe nearby.Thank you, Charlie and Jessie, for your incredible hospitality and for sharing your gorgeous property with us. We can’t wait to return!

    Dear Clark Family – Wow! It is hard to find the words for your majestic views and relaxing, eclectic, and perfect home. This place is absolutely soul-refreshing and deserves a write up in Country Living Magazine and a Conde Nast Travel Award! From the sweet deer family grazing under the apple tree to the eagles swooping down over the river, to walks on the mossy trails to secret waterfalls, to watching romantic Christmas movies in the hot tub…what an absolute dream! We enjoyed time to reconnect over coffee and chilly morning views on the back deck to warm nights cuddled by the woodstove with a cozy blanket and some cocoa. After 3 long and busy years of caring for sick parents, marrying off kids, and building a new business, we were just TIRED! Married nearly 27 years but felt like we had been on autopilot. When we came, I had dubbed this “vision weekend” and it was exactly that. We are leaving refreshed with new vision for our marriage and strength for all that life will bring in the near future. There is so much world to see and so little time off work that we try to never visit the same place twice. But this may have to become an annual tradition for us because it is just perfect in every way. Thank you again for opening up your little slice of heaven to us, your generosity, and hospitality. We pray for blessings upon your property and family, and we hope to see you again very soon! - Paul & Jennifer Williamson Edgewood, WA
