Little River House

Rustic. Relaxed. Real. This is a cabin, not a resort — and that's exactly the point. Come as you are, escape the daily grind, unplug, and let the river remind you how to slow down. The Little River House sits right on the Yakima River — fish from the backyard, golf nearby Suncadia or Sun Country, float the river, then unwind in Cle Elum & Roslyn's cafés, pubs and restaurants. Sleeps six to eight across two bedrooms + a loft. Perfect for couples, fishing & golf trips, and weekends with friends.

The Little River House is designed around one simple idea: everything feels better when you're on the river. Set on a generous lot with a prime, no-bank position along the Yakima, the home offers long views up and down the water. From the moment you pull in, you can hear the river before you even see it — and that sound doesn't stop the whole time you're here.

This is an intentionally small, unfussy cabin — a true getaway in the old-school sense. Tall A-frame vaulted ceilings and oversized windows fill the space with natural light, while hardwood floors and updated finishes keep things comfortable without losing any of the rustic charm that makes a river cabin feel like a river cabin. A standalone propane stove anchors the main living space, keeping things warm and cozy on cool mountain nights.

The main floor is simple and easy — a comfortable spot to cook, gather, and let the day slow down. It's the kind of space where nobody's rushing to be anywhere, and a long afternoon at the kitchen table feels exactly right.

Sleeping arrangements are relaxed and flexible, built for couples, small families, and groups of friends alike. Two main-floor bedrooms offer queen beds, while a second-story sleeping loft adds two full beds — perfect as a bunk space for kids, friends, or anyone happy to be close to the action.

Step outside and the river takes over. A wide deck and a newly poured patio give you plenty of room to spread out, whether you're grilling dinner, casting a line just steps from your chair, or watching the water roll by with a drink in hand. This is prime riverfront for fishing, with direct access to one of the best-loved stretches of the upper Yakima. Beyond the water, the surrounding hills invite hiking and exploring, and two nearby golf courses at Suncadia — along with Sun Country Golf Resort next door — make it just as easy to spend the day on the fairway as it is on the water.

Whether you're soaking up a quiet morning with coffee on the deck, wading into the river for an evening cast, or gathering everyone around the table after a day outdoors, The Little River House gives you the space — and the excuse — to slow all the way down.

WHAT DO GUESTS ENJOY MOST ABOUT THE HOUSE?
Guests consistently say it's the river that makes this place special — the sound of it running, the ease of casting a line without ever leaving the property, and the simple joy of sitting on the deck with a coffee (or a glass of wine) watching the water go by. Anglers love fishing the upper Yakima's special waters just steps from the back door, while others are just as happy floating, wading, or simply listening.

Inside, tall ceilings and big windows make the cabin feel bright and open, and the loft gives kids or friends a fun space of their own.

IS THE AREA FAMILY FRIENDLY?
Absolutely! The area is quiet and laid-back, with plenty of room to relax and explore right on the property. Just keep in mind this is a riverfront property — the current can be strong in places, so young children should always be watched closely near the water. Downtown Cle Elum and Roslyn are just minutes away and offer plenty of family-friendly restaurants and shops for an easy day trip.

IS THE HOUSE EQUIPPED FOR BUSINESS TRAVELERS?
Yes! The Little River Cabin offers high-speed Wi-Fi.
