Our experience at Run of the River was flawless from start to finish (initial phone reservation to personal follow-up letter thanking us for staying there). The attention to detail and customer service is uncomparable. Although the town of Leavenworth is a bit overdone with the Bavarian theme, but the area is absolutely beautiful. The inn looks over a wildlife preserve, so the setting is relaxing and serene. Monte and Karen are anxious to share this natural beauty with their guests by suggesting hikes, bike rides (with complimentary use of bikes and helmets), etc. that are "off the beaten path". The suites are cozy, thoughtfully designed and immaculate- complete with Jacuzzi, fireplace, deck, and great bathroom with a heated tile floor. Our stay at Run of the River will remain one of the more memorable places that we have stayed during our 25 years of travel in the US and abroad. Monte and Karen are clearly devoted to this endeavor and do a great job of making their guest feel welcome and anxious to return.

I've just returned from my second visit to Run of the River. This time was even better than the first, and I didn't think that was possible! They've added a new fabulous log cabin, called Ravenwood. This is the ultimate in luxurious. I have to say I've never seen anything like it!

Hot tubs - not one, but two - one upstairs in the loft (whirlpool tub actually) and another on the deck. We sat and soaked in that cedar tub on a fabulous starry evening. The ultimate in romantic.

They have tons of bells and whistles too. My husband loved playing with the movable "Nanowall" that opens and closes depending upon the privacy you want. When it's open, you get the most fabulous view of the Cascades and the jagged Enchantment Range. They also have this incredible mood lighting panel that let's you program the lighting in every room. Sounds complicated, but it really isn't. Plus the guys like playing with all the buttons.

For a foodie like me the kitchen was a dream - top of the line appliances and fully stocked with everything we needed.

The setting at Run of the River is uncomparable. The innkeepers Monty and Karen are so incredibly great. I almost hate to post this review because I don't want the secret to get out about Ravenwood, but it's such a great "find" I had to share.

We returned to Run of the River after four years away as the result of extensive European travel. It was even better than our previous stays. There are few places that capture both luxury and natural beauty so completely. The accomodations are wonderful and we could easily spend our lives on the deck watching the deer and the many species of birds. Monty and Karen were helpful as always with dinner recomendations and suggestions for hikes and other daily activities. The breakfasts were all excellant. It was the perfect getaway.

My wife and I stayed for three nights in August. We had a room with a wrap-around deck. We sat out and watched the deer and the birds on our swing. There were bikes to use and trail maps so that we could plan hikes. The breakfasts were fantastic, cooked each morning. There was coffee and tea always available. Paper came each morning. We had a lovely welcome basket because it was our anniversary. All in all a very highly recommended place to stay in a really picturesque part of the country.
