Cedar River Retreat

The little cabin was very private and quaint plus a perfect place to bring your dog. There are many extra ammenities the host provides: water dispenser, propane for stove, firewood and fire starters. We found fun surprises inside as well as in the forest nearby. My grandkids and I felt very safe. The location was also quiet and peaceful. We will be returning!

We had such a wonderful stay at Cedar River Cabin! We visited with our toddler and absolutely loved our time there. The cabin was cozy, comfortable, and peaceful, exactly what we were hoping for in a relaxing family getaway. The cabin was very thoughtfully stocked and had all the amenities we needed. We especially appreciated having plenty of cooking supplies, which made it easy to prepare meals during our stay. There were also logs available for us to use, which was such a nice touch and made the cabin experience even cozier. The location was great as well. There was a really nice pizza place nearby when we didn’t feel like cooking, and we felt very safe and comfortable throughout our stay. It was a wonderful place to slow down, enjoy the surroundings, and spend some quality time together as a family. The host was warm, welcoming, and very responsive, which made the whole experience even better. Everything felt well cared for and thoughtfully arranged for guests. We left with some really lovely memories and will definitely be returning to Cedar River Cabin. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, peaceful, and family-friendly getaway!

A lovely relaxing retreat

With pets ·

Cedar River Retreat is my pup’s and my favorite! We visit the tent site and the cabin multiple times a year. Brittany is always so kind, friendly, and responsive. I’m so happy to have shared this relaxing oasis with my family! They remarked on the amenities and extras available that I’ve always appreciated about CRR. We had a few other friends join just for the day and there was plenty of room for everyone to stretch their legs and enjoy the large outdoor space. Another 5 star stay at CRR on the books!

Well thought out.

Had a great time celebrating my brother’s birthday with a quick camping experience. The host was accommodating and provided fluid communication. The site was clean and well setup. The wood for purchase was convenient once the sun went down. As well as the trash can provided made clean up way easier than I’ve experienced in the past. Overall another great Hipcamp experience and first time stay at Cedar River Retreat.

Private, secluded, forest getaway.

Tent · With pets ·

Quaint, quiet, private campsite. It is in a great location which was close to everything that we wanted to do. The Cedar River Trail nearby is closed in one direction due to the floods from 2025. The thing that was most surprising was the wash station. It is an "old-school" manual-pump faucet that is plumbed with a garden hose from a 5 gallon glass water jug, which is filled by the host. The faucet and surrounding stump are infested with slugs as is the jug from which the water comes. This is not suitable for dishes, showering, or any other function aside from irrigation. Thankfully, we did not tely on this for any of our needs. The distance from the car to the main part of the site is more like 150 feet. Almost no part of the site is level, so the tent platform is almost a must! Huge thanks to the host for building that! There was a hammock already setup when we arrived which was perfect for relaxing. Huge firepit and firewood for sale right at the site. We have always packed our propane firpit, so we did not use their firepit, but it is massive and would be great for a large group. The sound of the river and birds were so peaceful even though you are just minutes from highways. All-in-all, we enjoyed our time here.

Wish it was longer! Kid friendly, and dog friendly. There is a trail right next to the cabin so people on bikes or walking dogs. It's a wonderful little slice of summer vacation. I would love to return again with my family. There's also a river about 5 minutes up the road with a cute pizza place called Cascadia. Drive into property is also not too bad on a non 4×4 car (Kia soul). I highly recommend a stay here.

From burnt out to Relaxed in 45 min

Tent · With pets ·

Cedar River Retreat keeps getting better every time I return! Brittany is constantly making upgrades and improvements to the property. There are string lights up along the path from parking to the site, a new fire wood structure, and Adirondack chairs. The new and improved outhouse didn’t smell horrible and make me dry heave like all other composting toilets! 😆 Driving in good traffic, it takes me 45 minutes to get to CRR from Seattle and feeling like I’m camping at the foothills of the Cascades. Brittany is so responsive, communicative, and helpful! It’s clear that she hosts out of a love for the property and wants to share it with folks.

Quite a lovely experience, and honestly exceeded my expectations. Host is very kind and communicative, the cabin was clean and comfortable, and the site itself was very cozy. Really appreciated the lighting and fire pit. Even the outhouse was spotless. Wonderful little retreat, grateful for the experience.

Absolutely adorable place. Perfect for a quick getaway, the directions were clear and it was a super private feeling. It was our first time taking our kids and dog camping and it was perfect. Highly recommend! There is a short walk to the campsite but it’s 30 seconds really, nothing crazy at all.

Second time visiting. We love this little slice of paradise. Dog gets to be off leash, trail and river nearby. Bummed the cedar river trail was washed out further down as we tried to walk to lake wilderness for the firework show. The price makes this place affordable and has everything you could need for a few nights out in nature

We ❤️ Cedar River Cabin 🏕️

With kids ·

My two daughters and I had a wonderful week at the cabin. It was very accessible. I am notoriously under prepared for trips but my husband packed us so we had everything. This cabin was perfect for me because it had everything I would have forgotten otherwise! Smores, bedding, silverware, cups, tp, beer. We did not go without! The host went above and beyond while respecting our privacy. My children like to act like witches around a fire. She even allowed us to shorten our stay (summer camp was only 4 days, not 5). Which ended up disappointing my eldest daughter! We would've stayed another night if needed. No problem. We had plenty of room and heat. The outside fire was stubborn but, again, the host had us covered with all supplies we needed. It was one of the best cabins I've ever stayed in. Bravo! Thank you. We would come back in a second.

This is a lovely site. It is situated so perfectly to enjoy the forest but to also enjoy plenty of light filtering through clearings in the trees as well as a nice open space to set up camp and spread out a bit while not feeling boxed in.

The little cabin was peaceful and well thought out! I loved the little touches of whimsy throughout the property and having the trail so close by was convenient. I slept really well and it was nice to have more comforts than tent camping. Plus waking up to the symphony of birds was incredible! My pups also loved their stay. I’ll definitely be returning!

It was a private get away for my wife and I. The path was not too bad to the tent site. The only thing that could have been better was not a downpour of rain right when we started setting up the tent. We would gladly return for another weekend of forced relaxation

Relaxing one night

18 ft rooftop tent ·

Did a short one night solo stay at the RV site and it was really nice. I had neighbors at the tent site but my surroundings were quiet. The gravel was level which helped me imagine the minimal setup I wanted. Campsite and outhouse were clean 👍 I would love to stay here again for at least two nights since one night never seems to be enough.

Pretty Little Spot!

Very pretty little spot right near the Cedar River Trail. The tent platform was so nice to have! The little hand wash station was a nice surprise and very convenient. Outhouse was clean and it was nice and quiet. If I wasn’t the only person on the property it sure felt that way! Lovely. Will definitely be back.

Whimsical cabin camping

With pets ·

It was perfect! The big bed was so comfy. Great for the dog to just chill or play fetch off leash. The nearby pizza place is delicious and has a nice walk down to the river. The cabin is so well thought out and there is whimsical surprises all about, be sure to wander to the end of the cabin road 😉 There was mini fridge, microwave which i couldn't figure out but didn't really need, little fans, heat, water, clean toilet. While it is next to the trail and just below a house it felt private. It was just what we needed and I had wished it wouldn't have been booked or we would have stayed 2 nights.

More dogs than people

Had a great night camping at Brittany's. We chose the RV spot so that we could both camp in our vehicles. We had four dogs and there was plenty of room for them to roam around, play and get zoomies. We appreciated that she trusted us to let our dogs off leash while we were at our site because they loved their freedom. The site was nice and large. The bathroom was clean and had all the necessities and we loved the fire pit. We mostly just hung out at our site catching up. Thanks for the great night!
