Top Hotels Near Crystal Creek Trailhead in Darrington

"This was a good balance of camping and luxury, although be prepared to lean in a little more onto the camping side as a lot of work was required to stay comfortable. Be prepared to create and maintain your own heat source. We had to wake up a few times to keep the fire going in the wood stove to stay warm. And bring an extra 5 gallon water as the hose and shower were not operating properly. Besides roughing it a little more that we expected, the bed was really comfortable, the outdoor kitchen was large, and the hot tub was a relaxing touch. There is a main road for the community out front so we experienced some traffic noise but the surrounding trees helped to feel secluded. The host answered all of our questions in a timely manner."

"We love the sound of the Sauk River rushing by. It is otherwise quiet here. A friendly husky came by to say hi to us a couple times when we were sitting outside. It was a restful stay.The cabin itself is comfortable, well supplied and clean. This is the second time we've come here. I'm sure we will return again."

"The cabin is located on a beautiful, private piece of land with many indoor and outdoor spaces to relax and detach the craziness of the world. The kitchen is well appointed enabling you to concoct whatever culinary delights will warm your heart. The covered hot tub is a delight at the end of a day of hiking. There is a lot of natural beauty along Highway 20. You will, of course, want to enjoy the on-property waterfall, but don't the Hegg-Benson trail along Barr Creek just up the road from the cabin.If you are looking for a place in the Highway 20 corridor, I highly recommend this one!"

"Wish we had stayed longer! "

"The view is was the best part, but overall it was disappointing. Considering the size of the space, 145 felt like an outsized cleaning fee, so I was very put off to receive an additional list of check-out cleaning requirements with the check-in instructions. At the very least, the cleaning list should be included with the booking information so it's clear what the cleaning fee does (and does NOT) cover. On top of that, the place was not particularly clean: -the stacked plates were wet in-between them (probably due to the requirement that clean dishes be put away and not left on drying mat) - the hot tub had a band of grease/scum along the waterline, but was also overwhelming full of chlorine. It was gross and we barely used it. -lots of cobwebs and dust in the loft On our final night, the smoke/CO2 detector began malfunctioning with an error message every 10 minutes or so. Because there was no wifi or cell service (something I had originally seen as a positive) I had no way to contact the host, and had the unfortunate choice between disabling the detector and getting no sleep. I messaged the host about this as soon as I could the next morning, and he never responded. It's also worth noting that the location is not nearly as private as it seems. There are cabins close on both sides, one less than 20 feet away. "

"I was a bit skeptical after learning about the generator process that I didn't read about in reviews. We decided to go anyways and boy are we glad we did. Absolutely beautiful property, and Ron, our host was great. Waking up and having coffee looking at the river was mesmerizing. Steps from the rivers edge made it very easy to hike up and down its banks. The cabin has all the necessities you would need, except for a hairdryer, my wifes only complaint! we cooked most of our meals there but did venture in to town and ate at Up River Bar and Grill. Food was very good. All in all a great choice for spending our 40th wedding anniversary. Look forward to a return visit in the future. "

"We had a wonderful stay on the river. The property is beautiful and well appointed. They really went the extra mile, with a ton of extras to make sure we and our dog were comfortable. They had bows and a dog bed included, extra thoughtful. The amenities are wonderful, hot tub, sauna, fire pit, we took advantage of all of them! The main character was the gorgeous river out the back door. We made our meals in, and the kitchen was so well stocked, we had everything we needed and more. Everyone had a sound sleep, the beds were very cozy, and the sound of the river, and the rain on the metal roof at night were soothing. Check in and check out were easy, and the hosts were very communicative throughout our stay. Wi-Fi worked great. We had a birthday party for my partner, and it was perfectly sized for the seven of us celebrating. :) thank you again for a wonderful stay! Highly reccomend "

"We had a very relaxing stay to ring in the new year. The cabin was cozy and well-stocked with everything we needed. "

"Incredibly cozy vibes! The hosts were communicative and kind. And being so close to the river was magical. We really enjoyed our stay and definitely want to return. "
