We had a group of seven stay in the winter time for snowboarding. The cabin was clean and cozy and only about 25 minutes from the White Salmon Lodge at Mt. Baker. The hot tub and sauna were nice. Beware: the sauna thermometer is in Celsius! There is plenty of sleeping space for 10 people, but even with seven we were pushing the limits of the living room. I can't really imagine if we had 10 people and two dogs like the original plan was. The window seat was fantastic and highly prized. The pictures on VRBO are a little outdated as to the actual furniture, but close enough. The bedroom that isn't pictured on the site looks just like the rest with a queen bed close to the floor. The entry way is a little small and got crowded with shoes and boots and other snowboard gear as the owners don't allow shoes in the house (bring slippers). One of the bedrooms is a 'mother-in-law' unit with a separate entrance off the front patio. It has its own bathroom, which was nice. The three bathrooms were all fine. We may have been short on towels with 10 people, but fine with seven. Also plenty of blankets.
We were only allowed two sets of keys which was tricky with three groups arriving at different times. The way the front gate worked (gated community) someone needed to be in the cabin to let the late arrival in, as opposed to the gate code automatically opening the gate. The rental office was about 15 minutes' drive from the cabin, so setting up one key transfer was tricky. That said, the in/out process was OK.
They mention a health code that doesn't allow them to provide spices, so bring your own, even down to salt and pepper. They do provide plenty of nice dishes, pots and pans, coffee maker (slow, but doesn't need paper filters), electric water kettle, coffee grinder. Parking for three or four cars. There is a recycle bin in the dumpster area, so don't forget to separate your recyclables like we did. Lots of firewood in a wood shed outside. Overall nice place. I would go back.
