Rainbow House: North Cascades Skagit River Retreat

Peace and tranquility at the gateway to North Cascades National Park—under two hours from Seattle! Spacious, cathedral-ceilinged wood construction in a rural paradise.

World-class fishing (or just watch the salmon run!) at the confluence of the Skagit and Cascade Rivers and top-rated hiking in the North Cascades, near many trailheads including spectacularly beautiful Cascade Pass and Hidden Lake/Lookout.

Chalet comfortably hosts two to six adults in two large bedrooms (master suite and loft) plus a sofa bed in the great room. An additional bunk bed nook for two persons each under 150 pounds (kids, assumedly) brings the total to eight.

Complete kitchen and laundry access, within walking distance of Marblemount for dining and shopping.

NEW for 2024: Air Conditioning! Level 2 EV Charger!

COMING SEPTEMBER 2024: A private self-sufficient unit at the back of the garage, for independent rental and lodging. 'Rainbow House Private Annex' hosts up to 4 adults and is isolated from the main house. For groups larger than 6 desiring to rent both units simultaneously please check VRBO listing 3815963 for availability.

The house is well equipped, beautiful and very comfortable. The owner is responsive and communicative. Beds are comfy. The only thing that would have improved our stay is if the second bathroom had a standup shower. It is close to the trails for the National Park and even comes with bear spray, which we didn’t need or use.
Jew from house at sunset. Lovely porch seating. We even watched some meteor showers in middle of night.

Perfect North Cascades Vacation

We enjoyed five days of awesome hiking at the Rainbow House. Every possible need was met by our host, including many rainy day activities inside the cabin, just in case….Host went above and beyond by immediately responding when we accidentally entered the incorrect entry code. Wi-Fi was excellent. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment and coffee/tea. Bed was super comfortable. We’re already planning a return to the fantastic Rainbow House.

Perfect and exactly what we were looking for! The close location to the Marblemount entrance of North Cascades N.P. was very convenient. The property and surrounding area is beautiful and was just as described in the post. It was very clean and well appointed. There was so much space for our family of four to spread out and we absolutely loved the porches for morning coffee and afternoon (post hiking) drinks. There were a few grocery stores in Concrete about 20 minutes away, but we bought food and supplies in Mt. Vernon on our way to the property. Overall, we really loved our stay and would book it again in a heartbeat.

Stay at this terrific home!

Located close to everything, but far enough to feel like you are in your own private mountain get-away. Wonderfully kept home with everything needed and an incredibly responsive owner. Views of the mountains, and proximity to the river, North Cascades National Park and town were perfect.

Week in North Cascades

This cabin was the perfect spot to enjoy the North Cascades area from. Cabin was very well stocked with everything you would need to cook with, beds were comfortable and the downstairs shower was amazing. We were even lucky enough to get an amazing view of the Northern lights several nights.

There are some cute little restaurants in town, and the views from the property were fantastic. Everything in the house was exactly as described.
