Crystal Cabin at Elk Beach

Sleeps 8 · 3 bedrooms · 5 beds · 2 baths · Pets OK

Three bedrooms on the White River in the Crystal Village community. The back deck and hot tub face the river, and elk come through the yard often enough that the trash bins have carabiners. Most of the furniture was hand-built from western red cedar in 2021. It smells great and scratches easily, so go easy on it.

King upstairs, a bunk room with a queen and a twin bunk, and a full bed on the main floor.

Good to know

  • Starlink is fast for streaming. Video calls can drop when the trees get in the way.
  • No A/C. Windows open at night, drapes closed in the morning, and it stays comfortable.
  • The riverfront is shared with a few neighbors.

Alpen Commune

Sleeps 10 · 5 bedrooms · 7 beds · 3 baths · Pets OK

A three-level chalet on the White River, built around a wood-burning stove. The deck looks across the river to the ridge, and there's a river island just past the side channel that kids treat as their own. Downstairs is kid territory: bunk rooms with toy-filled closets, a TV, and a play structure out back.

Lofted king up top with a reading nook and river views. A king, a queen and a bunk room on the lower level. Another bunk room with a trundle on the main floor.

Good to know

  • In winter, bring AWD or 4WD and chains. Highway 410 gets plowed. The driveway, less often.
  • The loft bath has a low ceiling. Good for a soak, not for standing up in a shower.
  • The garage is gear storage and laundry, not parking. Three spots out front.
