Great place to have fun with friends

My friends and I loved our stay here! There were so many activities to do on the property. The only comment I would have is there is no AC, but they supplied lots of fans, we were by the water most of the time, and it cooled down at night so that wasn't a big deal for us.

AMAZING getaway!

We went out for a yearly weekend cabin getaway with a group of couples, this has been by far the best house we have stayed at and the best experience! Shannon was amazing to book with and very friendly, the home was beautiful and we utilized the hot tub and sauna to the full extent. We will book again and hopefully book to to experience the home over the summer! The views were immaculate as well.

Total Perfection

Heaven Can Wait was absolutely perfect for our party of ten. The house and property are beautiful and have everything we needed. There was no need to leave during our three night stay because the property had something for everybody. Shannon responded immediately when we had questions and couldn’t be nicer. We will return!

Birthday celebration

Perfect house for our family of 12. Ages 7 months to 60. Kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. Love the pool and hot tub. Kids loved the game room and kids room. If you are going anytime soon pack insect repellent. The mosquitoes were relentless. We tried to play basketball or take kids to sandbox area but mosquitoes were significant. They did spray around the house the day we arrived and that made it so we could use pool and hot tub. Owner was super communicative . House was everything as listed. Super clean too. Thanks so much for allowing us stay in your beautiful home!

Amazing property for our family vacation

This property is Heavenly! The Lodge itself is lovely. It is rustic in appearance, but has all the comfortable amenities. It offers plenty of rooms and bathrooms for a large group. The kitchen is fabulous and extremely well-equipped. The drawers are helpfully labeled. Instructions were provided for any of the less common features, such as the home's indoor/outdoor stereo system. Our group enjoyed the pool (a little chilly for the adults, but the kids didn't seem to mind)! All of us loved the hot tub. We enjoyed hanging out and eating meals on the deck. The surrounding property is so beautiful!. We observed a variety of wildlife during our stay! We saw deer each day out by the pond. The kids loved seeing the pollywogs in the pond! Amazingly, none of them ^accidentally" slipped into it! Haha We saw many kinds of birds, including a turkey! Little snakes & lizards, chipmunks, and some "evidence" of a bear!!! We all took walks along the river. This property feels like a very private retreat. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, and the weather during our stay was great. Last, but definitely not least, our Host Shannon was awesome. She quickly answered any of my questions from the time I first rented the property til up to and during our stay. My family would happily choose to stay here again! I highly recommend.

We had a most wonderful family vacation in this fantastic house. It has everything anyone could possibly want in a getaway home. We were a family of 10, ages 18 to 87, celebrating 2 graduations, needing a place where everyone could have good time. All the rooms were well appointed, the kitchen was fantastic, and between rafting on the river, the pool and hot tub, and the game room, plus all the deck-sitting spaces for games or eating, this place had everything anyone could possibly want. We loved our time here in aptly named paradise.

Heaven indeed!

Our family consisted of adult kids, their partners and our 11 year old. Room for everyone to stretch out so we could enjoy each other without smothering. Some of us hung out in the livingroom by the fire while others relaxed in the sauna or played games in the game room. The kitchen is huge and allowed for dinners and baking to occur at the same time. We are definitely going back!

Christmas wonderland

We came up to see Leavenworth over Christmas. It was a bit of a trek to get into town (like 35 minutes or so) but the scenery coming off the mountain was nice to look at. The house was more than large enough for all of us. The teenagers loved the game room with the pool table. The kitchen was awesome and accommodating for my family of 10. Everyone wants to come back up at summer time now. You won’t regret staying here!
