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. ##### sheila M.

The only issue we found was very low water pressure for the shower/bath/sink and not a lot of hot water. It was a great location to go day hiking in the North Cascades and there was a store right around the corner. We had a great time relaxing and watching the sunrise and sunset from the porch. Highly recommend! ##### Morgan B.

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. ##### Tim O. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Seth M.

It is the perfect place to stay if you are traveling with multiple people and want an alternative to camping/cabins. It was impeccably clean!! Unfortunately, we were there during some of the hottest summer days, and the house had no A/C and even experienced a temporary power outages from a rolling blackout situation for a few hours.

Clean, private, very well maintained, and well stocked with everything you would need. Loved sitting on the porch and enjoying the views of the mountains. Marblemount is a great location for the best hiking in the North Cascades. Fabulous star gazing at night. So relaxing to return to after a long day of hiking. It got pretty hot during the day but cooled down nicely at night. There were plenty of fans available. Communication with the owner was great and responded quickly. Overall, a fantastic stay.

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! ##### Derek W. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Camilla D. Sep 12, 2017 #### Spectacular valley location The highlight of our Rainbow House stay had to be enjoying sunsets on the deck while sipping a glass of wine and watching the cows in the field next door. While a bit dated, it was fully equipped and very comfortable and cozy. We found it to be perfectly located for accessing hikes in North Cascades NP. We LOVED the park and had perfect weather to make the views from our hikes absolutely spectacular! As others have mentioned, It is a good idea to stock up on groceries before you arrive since stores are a bit of a drive away. Also, I somehow missed the part about the washer and dryer being available for an extra fee. I have rented many vacation homes and have never before encountered this arrangement, but it did not inconvenience us since our visit was relatively brief. We managed to break a wine glass during one of our sunset-watching sessions and the owner was not disturbed in the least. Thanks for understanding! We certainly hope to visit again in the future. ##### Camilla D. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark P. Sep 24, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great basecamp for daily jaunts into North Cascades Nat'l Park I used Rainbow House for a brief stay at NCNP as part of a long-form hiking trip that spanned the PNW. This house could not be better suited for people looking to relax and/or enjoy daytrips around the greater national park area. It is very conveniently located between Cascade River Rd. & the Ross Lake NRA, making it easy to feel like you're never far away from any of the more accessible views & trails. As far as the house goes, this is a spacious, very well-maintained property and honestly better than I was expecting, given its rural nature. Huge open yard, lots of space inside, OUTSTANDING views, and everything I used was in working order - not that I used many things in the house, because all I really ever did in the evenings was sit on the covered porch and enjoy the scenery with a cold beer. Washington will never be able to complete with Big Sky country for sunset vistas, but Rainbow House comes close - it feels like you're sitting in a PNW version of the Yellowstone Ranch. Many thanks to Steve for his quick response to my inquiries and allowing me to use his outstanding property. I don't know when I'll be able to make it back to North Cascades again (too many other places to see!), but when I do, I'll be looking this place up again. ##### Mark P. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Katya E., Minnesota, US Aug 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Katya E. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tricia W. Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6e0d1680-1f69-4f5c-bf35-8659105922ce-1753488373668.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/82cd88e6-df25-4c7f-b4aa-ab9dda2e37b4-1753488373921.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/23680930-ef51-4b55-ab5a-963fb73d599f-1753488374290.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8e21ba10-12b1-4729-a5cf-ab1fded7e717-1753488374448.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tricia W.
