The view was unreal, it was peaceful and lovely. We went right across the street to public river access and cooked a huge dinner in the little kitchen and used the BBQ! It was a perfect birthday weekend.

Loved our time at the cabin.

Clean, well set up, comfortable bed, plenty of seating in all the areas we wished to relax. Had fun just sitting and relaxing on the deck seeing the beautiful scenery.

Cozy cabin on the river

We always enjoy coming to the Jaybird retreat. On the river and with an excellent hot tub is a huge bonus, and although the cabin is modestly sized, it's always very clean and and is a nicely laid out space. A great location to get a head start on some of our favorite hikes.

Girls getaway weekend.

House and cabin were nice, clean and the kitchen was well stocked. My one suggestion would be to trim the tall bushes in-between the deck and the river. If you are sitting in the deck chairs, you can't see the river because the bushes are too tall.

river song

Cozy inside, and we could hear the sound of the Skykomish River all night and day long. It rained the whole time, and we were happy as clams, reading, singing, eating and walking in the woods. A real retreat for us. A very nourishing stay. stay after

Loved the Jaybird Retreat

Loved the multigenerational ability for some folks to stay up late and enjoy the hot tub, and others could go to bed, and enjoy an early morning coffee watching the eagles and ospreys across the river. Staff were quick to respond to questions.

Relaxing River View

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at JayBird Retreat. The proximity to the river, views of the cascade range from the balcony, perfect hot tub scenery, all made this so relaxing. This house might be small, but it’s cozy for a couple looking to escape the city. We had everything we needed.

Cozy Jaybird

Great view, hot tub and facilities in general. Both cabins are great. The only negative that we could come up with is that the blinds need replacing, at least in the main cabin; some of them are bound up or broken, and you'd hate to miss any of that view!

Pros- GREAT view and peaceful river sounds, comfy couchCons- bed not very comfortable, scratched teflons pots (not healthy for anyone, but especially problematic for people with food allergies), not able to fully close blinds in bedroom (6" gap because of A/C tubing)Value- you're paying for the view and the vibes, which really are great, the rest of the house is fine, nothing fancy

A shining gold nugget in Gold Bar

The cute Chickadee cottage was a perfect, restful retreat for a couple after weeks of busyness. The big cabin had good Wifi connection for our Zoom meetings, yes even while on a break. The kitchen far exceeded our expectation and the place was spotlessly clean. We had a great time listening to the roaring river and gazing at the magnificent mountains. Highly recommended for folks who need a refreshing and recharging time.
