Wonderful Experience
Rainbow House is in the perfect location for exploring North Cascades National Park. It is also the perfect location and place for a quiet and comfortable vacation. The description and instructions are thorough, the house had everything we needed, and is beautifully furnished and decorated. The grounds/yard are extremely well taken care of. Communication was outstanding! Thanks to the owners for their good care and providing a beautiful place!

Luxury Mountain Retreat
My wife and I enjoy finding off-the-beaten-path places to stay when we are hiking the National Parks and on vacation. The Rainbow House certainly fits the bill and more! Although there is a main road out front, you don't hear cars and have a house on five acres all to yourself! Not to mention being surrounded by a 360 mountain view! Access to NP trailheads and the Visitor Center are close by. We spend our day hiking and meeting with people, so to have a place to call your own is right for us! The Rainbow House is perfect for families and it was a luxury space for the two of us! The owners have thought of everything and if it is not in this house, you don't need it! Communication with Steve is excellent and the cleanliness of the house is impeccable! There are not a lot of rentals in this area, so if you are considering visiting this area, book it!

Closest to Cascades NP!
Our family of 6 loved our stay here! It was inspiringly beautiful and conveniently close to Cascades NP. Thankfully it wasn't too hot as without AC the four beds in the loft might have been a bit warm at night without AC. The only other feedback is that the water pressure was low (couldn't shower when dishwasher was running, etc.) but Steve was very responsive to us and he had great suggestions on what to do in the area. We definitely recommend staying here when you're in the area.

Wonderful house and location
We loved our stay! The location was perfect for us- close to the entrance to North Cascades National Park where we wanted to explore, and very close to the little town of Marblemount to grab dinner and conveniences. The cabin is in a beautiful setting, in the field surrounded by mountains. It had everything we needed, from a well stocked kitchen to plenty of space and thoughtful extras like provided dish soap, shampoo and body wash. Communication was smooth and prompt. Highly recommend!

Beautiful house close to North Cascades NP
This property is even better than the pictures. Being on the Marblemount side of the park (instead of Winthrop) it is quite tranquil and really close to the Newhalen visitor center (20 mins give or take). Marblemount has a couple of gas stations with mini-markets and a few restaurants, Concrete (about 20 mins) has more choices and a grocery market. Overall, excellent choice for enjoying the park.

The house is super clean and spacious, with nice decks on both sides so you always have a shady or sunny deck. Very comfortable great room with nice views of the mountains. Kitchen is well equipped and the gas grill was spotless and worked great. And the location to explore NCNP was perfect. Steve was always available, quick to respond and gave the local advice that we needed.

Rainbow House is a fabulous place in a beautiful location and lots of space. Check in was easy and Steve was very prompt with answers to questions. My favorite part was sitting on the deck.

Great Place to Stay to Visit North Cascades National Park!
This is a great house in Marblemount, conveniently located near the west side of North Cascades National Park. The house is clean and spacious, with a wonderful open floor plan, and great amenities, including a large, well-equipped kitchen. The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful with all our inquiries and requests, including allowing us to charge our electric car with a 240-volt outlet. In addition, there are two or three great restaurant within less than a mile of the house.

Beautiful Cabin in the Mountains
This is a perfect place to stay! The cabin was very clean and comfortable; it was home away from home! We loved being able to sit outside each evening and enjoy the peaceful view of the mountains. The location is perfect; close to the restaurants and gas stations and easy access to North Cascades National Park. The next time we return to the area, we would love to stay at the Rainbow House again!!

Good location
This house was in good location and had beautiful views from the back porch. It worked for what we needed but it wasn't a home away from home for our family so I didn't give it 5 stars. Some things to note for future guests- the proximity to North Cascades is good but still requires a good amount of driving. Because the town was small and to here is no grocery store, we bought all supplies at the gas station ( more expensive). The Rainbow house had most everything. There was a Keurig but no Kcups. I tried using my own coffee with reusable Kcup but the coffee maker was struggling to make it. The owner asked to use filtered water for Keurig but water was not provided. When buying water for hiking for triple the price at the gas station, it was hard to allocate it for Keurig that didn't really make good coffee. There is also a regular coffee maker but only had decaf and no filters. So to make a cup of coffee, I would have to buy filters at the gas station. Also something to be aware of is that the property listing states that up to eight people can stay at this property. However, once I booked the place I noticed that I was charged a fee for 5th person. I contacted the owner and he said that in the contract the price only includes 4 people. I double checked and it is in the contract but very misleading in the listing ( I frequently use VRBO and this was the first time where I ran into this). The check in time was 530 pm, which is the latest I have ever seen. There were multiple post-It notes in the house with specific things of not to do, so we were kind of worried about our kids playing with their board games. Overall, good location but not for our family. You will probably enjoy this place but stock up on all supplies and groceries before checking in.
