We have been very disappointed in the service we have received after our stay. We left a very expensive jacket and flannel in the main bedroom closet. We realized it a few days after our stay and reached out to the property manager. They keep saying they will look into and get back to us but they do not follow up and have not been able to locate our items. I would not want to rent from this property management company again.

The house was in such a lovely area - wooded and away from the town bustle, but close enough for convenience. There was plenty of space, but due to the use of fireplaces and wood stoves, the inside of the house smells like wood smoke. So much so that after we left, our friends told us we smelled like smoke. It was hard to get past it, but if you don’t care about smoke smell, the house was fine.

This home has tons of divided up space, perfect for groups. I wish we had more time to be able to light the fire places, enjoy the decks and the magnificent views. The spring must be outstanding with all the Rhodies surrounding the property, I’ll be back to see that for sure.
If the property is still managed by Vacasa, please bring your own towels and washcloths, you’ll thank me later.
The Buddington Haus is so close to town, but perfectly far enough away to absorb your cabin home in the woods.

Great place! We loved the location with all its flora and fauna (saw 2 bears). Very comfortable; reminiscent of going to Grandma's house. The house is big enough that everyone could have space if they so desired but we spent a great deal of time on the incredible decks! Plenty of room to move around in the kitchen and well stocked, including every kitchen gadget you can think of. Thank you for sharing your lovely place!

This is a well appointed family home. Enjoyed the location, the beds, & huge kitchen. So toasty in the dead of winter. A magical stay!

We loved our time at the Buddington Haus. The location is amazing, with gorgeous views in a quiet area without being too far from the center of Leavenworth. This house felt like our own home for the weekend. It was charming, warm, inviting, and cozy. The home has been well taken care of over the years and the cleanliness was impressive considering it’s size. We look forward to returning to the Buddington haus.
The local staff was also exceptionally friendly and helpful. Thank you for making this vacation go smoothly!

House was beautiful.
Steep gravel driveway and many stairs were difficult for our group. 79 to 86 years of age was a potential fall issue.

House itself nice- but needs TV. Furniture old and NO TV with internet! Antiquated and old ! The house is large enough for several people however “quiet” hours pose issue with neighbors especially if you have kids or teens. You will need a car because Leavenworth is not really walking distance. Overall it was sufficient, and clean , but updates desperately needed.

We had five adults vacationing together for one week to celebrate a milestone Anniversary. The facility was very large, and I knew it was due for an upgrade by looking at the pictures. What I didn't know was how much the furniture needed replacing. I sat on the sofa in the main living space and sunk to the floor. I was disappointed in that we never had a good area to gather as a group except on the deck or around the dining table. One night we wanted to just veg in front of the tv, but it was not a very nice space, and the recliner sofa did not work. It took 10 minutes to get the foot rest to retract.
I will add that the AC was excellent and we needed it, as the days were almost 100 degrees. Sometimes rentals will have a range set that you can't go below. and this was not the case. We also found everything we needed in the kitchen. This was good as we cooked almost all of our meals. The deck was pleasant although a neighbor across the river has a bit of a junkyard. If you position yourself behind a tree you don't need to look at it. The stellar jays are used to being fed, and we found a bag of bird seed in the laundry room. This was a plus, and we enjoyed watching them. We also were delighted to see a black bear on the property.
We did have excellent feedback when contacting Vacasa thru text message when we ran into problems like the garbage bins being over full, and not having anywhere to put our garbage. They sent the cleaning crew back out to empty a bin for us. We were left with only a few nights of dishwasher soap when we were there for a full week. It's the little things that change a great vacation into something less than.
When I booked the property thru VRBO, and later asked to adjust my arrival and departure dates. I was not told I would be paying a higher rate than when I initially booked the property. I sent several emails to Vacasa which have not been addressed. The day I made the reservation changes, the actual fee per night had gone down, but Vacasa charged us over $50/night over what we had originally booked. I tried to resolve this thru VRBO and used the chat feature being on hold for 50 min. As soon as I explained my issue, they disconnected. I will not use Vacasa ever again and will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Hopefully the owner of this property will see this review and address some of these issues.

This was our second time staying at the Buddington Haus. It was another perfect stay for a relaxing week with 4 teenagers. My husband and I love the close proximity to gorgeous hikes and our teens love being across the street from Icicle Creek. This year they could float all the way to downtown Leavenworth from the house. The big kitchen is great for keep food ready for everyone. We will be back again!

We really enjoyed staying here. There was more then enough room for the four of us. The house was very clean, quiet, loved the decorations and location. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We spent a lot of time on the deck, saw a black bear and watch people float down on the river. We will stay here again. Thank you.

We were thrilled with the morning and evening view from the deck. The rooms are spacious, clean and well appointed. We have stayed at many residences for vacations throughout the US and this one by far, hands down is the nicest! We would love to stay here again. Highly recommend it!

This place needs updated for the price per night.
The house is great. 2 Rooms upstairs one with a King size bed (super comfy). Kitchen was perfect for our Thanksgiving holiday and having two dining spaces was also nice for set up. They had a couple of the spices I had forgotten also.
The lowest level is great for kids, has a hide-a-bed (super old & stiff but my 10 yr old didn't mind) and ping pong table. I would rate this place a 5 star with furniture upgrades and home maintenance. Couches are absolutely TERRIBLE. (all 3 of them) No TV's to watch movies and/or football. There is one box TV in the basement.. the size of a notebook. We were smart and packed a smart TV and steamed the games. The fireplaces were ran majority of the time, we loved it.. however we had smoke issues in all areas. The upstairs was very smoky when we went to bed, we ended up having to put a fan in the windows to clear all of the smoke. The stacks certainly need to be cleaned & swept. The 10 AM check out is a bit unreasonable (Especially with a 4 PM check in). We had children with us and having to make breakfast and pack up after 4 nights and a large holiday, it was a struggle. The cleaning folks were parked outside before 10 waiting for us to finishing packing out. We left about 9:45..

The property and nature is stunning yet the inside needs major updating. I appreciate the fact that they wanted to keep the charm of the village but a few updates would’ve made it perfect. Overall though, it was great!

We (2) enjoyed our stay at Buddington Haus and will likely return again. The home is very spacious, the bed we slept in was pretty new and firm - to our liking. The location is convenient to the town, but not too close, and to the hiking trails. We loved sitting on the deck with our coffee in the morning, watching the daylight arrive, and listening as the birds woke up. A suggestion for the fall season would be to provide some fly strips for the house, the flies were pretty active this time of year. Also, the utensils in the kitchen drawers seemed to be tossed in with no rhyme or reason so that it was difficult to locate a needed item. The silverware drawer was well supplied and organized.

Quiet setting
The deck was a bonus. Lots of windows to open and since it was surrounded by trees rather than neighbors it felt like a wonderful out of town setting

The place was almost too big but can accommodate plenty! Fantastic kitchen size and multi-patios. The decor and vibe was a bit dated but not anything that bugged me. There’s a walkway to put in and float the river right out front, too

Lovely large home to relax in. Close drive to and far enough away from the craziness of downtown Leavenworth. Place was well appointed, nice beds. Would have loved a longer stay. River and Mountain View’s nice, but a steep climb down to the river so my parents weren’t able to splash around. Would stay again.

The house is large, plenty of room. And the AC works great. I think a recent prior guest had used the wood burning fireplace; there was a noticeable amount of smokiness in the air when we arrived. Running the HVAC fan seemed to help.
The house is located across the street from Icicle River, but not really in a good place to play in the river. Some members of my family mentioned that the light fixtures and decorations seemed a bit dated, and a few felt that the lower floor had a weird vibe. But the main and upper floors were pleasant, the linens were nice, and overall we enjoyed our stay.

Really enjoyed our time. Very quiet and clean house. Could stand an update on televisions. Overall it was a good relaxing family vacation.
