About this property

Ranch Style Cabin on 20 Acres in the Beautiful Tunk Valley

Spectacular all round views from this ranch style cabin in the beautiful Tunk Valley -- a little known piece of rustic countryside bordering the Okanogan National Forest, northeast of Omak and near the small town of Riverside.

Enjoy nature from this luxury cabin and wrap-around porch. A birdwatcher's paradise the Tunk Valley also offers breathtaking views, hiking local forest trails, mountain biking the quiet country roads, fishing at Crawfish Lake, and wildlife viewing from the cabin, in the valley, and at the Tunk Valley Wildlife Area. It also offers just living with a frontier feel.

In summer the land is a sea of color from the grasses and wild flowers, and with the backdrop of mountains and dramatic skyscapes the cabin is a nature artists dream. An easel is provided in the main bedroom, inspiration is provided all around.

In winter the surrounding area offers cross-country and backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing. The cabin is five miles from Crawfish Lake, which usually freezes hard enough to snowmobile, ski or skate on. Local skiing areas include Loup Loup Pass and Havillah, both about one hours drive away.

For those not wishing to drive the cabin sits on 20 acres of private land, where guests are free to wander. A walk around the perimeter is three quarters of a mile.

The cabin itself is at an elevation of around 3,000 feet, and stays a bit cooler than down in the valley. The main floor has a gorgeous living room with a gas cast iron stove for those cozy evenings. There is a large fully equipped kitchen and dining area, and a private master bedroom with bathroom. Upstairs it has two large bedrooms, and a full bathroom. A huge detached double garage is also available.

The cabin is approximately 14 miles from the historic country town of Riverside and the Okanogan River, nearby towns include Omak, Okanogan and Tonasket. The Many Lakes Recreational Area offers many summer activities for boaters and fishermen. Local events include the Omak Stampede and other county fairs. Easy day trips include the Tunk Valley Wildlife Area, the Stonerose Fossil beds, the state park and historical sites at Conconully, the sparkling and unspoilt Omak Lake, the ghost town of Molson, the Loomis National Forest, the Methow Valley, and the North Cascades National Park.

Beautiful setting in the Tunk Valley

The cabin is a well-outfitted home in a very quiet rustic setting. It’s a comfortable place to enjoy a weekend away, anytime of the year.

Serene isolated get away

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Well maintained home with lots of collectibles, books, etc to discovery. Interesting location in an nice valley with cattle farming bordering the national forest (Yellowstone on a smaller scale comes to mind). Did a drive up to old fire lookout on top of Tunk mountain which was great as well!

Beautiful and Quiet

Great property with 360-degree views. Very secluded - you can see one house on an adjoining property, but it's pretty far away. Nice wrap-around porch. Great place to unwind and get away from it all.

My only suggestion would be to have the yard more trimmed and watered. Driveway could be weeded or trimmed as well. Nice place overall though.

Get away from everything

Tired of the city and people. Do you want quiet and wide open spaces. This is the spot. The wrap around porch is amazing. If your getting hot there is a shade and a breeze on another side.

Fun holiday week

My husband and I stayed here with our daughter and her partner and their two dogs during the week between Christmas and New Year's. Everyone enjoyed the cozy vibe of the house, the interesting decor, and the big kitchen for making lots of family meals. House is spacious with gorgeous expansive views and big bedrooms. We took lots of walks in the snow--there's a close-by trail system for long walks in the woods. A fun, relaxed winter retreat.

Family vacation

Rustic cabin with beautiful wrap around porch. Perfect for our stay and family. Cabin had one TV in upstairs bedroom. All three bedrooms had full size beds which was disappointing. Upon arrival we had to wash and fold dirty towels and linens. The refrigerator had moldy foods that we had to dispose of. The biggest concern is the kitchen stove; the knobs on the stove do not work and we would shut off the propane gas to ensure it was not leaking into the cabin

Peace and Quiet

Found the peace and quiet we were looking for! Stunning sunsets and the night sky was amazing. Numerous shooting stars and saw the ISS pass overhead! Beautiful setting! Property could use some updating, dishwasher not working and BBQ seen better days. We will return to Okanogan County again! Tony

Amazing

The first words out of my 5 year olds mouth was "This place is Amazing" and he was right. The view from the house was great. The instructions from the owner were perfect. This was great for a getaway from the closed in city. There are plenty of country roads near by for an amazing drive. There is a national forest with a nice lake just up the road. Summer evenings on the porch were perfect. My only regret was not being able to stay longer than I did.

Great place with fantastic views.

I do not understand the policy of needing to vacuume the house prior to leaving. Perhaps the owner can fill me in on #1). why? & #2). Does this mean the cleaning crew does not vacuum when they clean which I hope is not true/

MICE and dog SMELL

Tons of mice and mice poop in the home and rooms. Beds are old and dirty and the animal smell from pets allowed in the rental property was terrible. Lots of dog hair on the carpet and rugs.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Turcan

Host profile image
I live and work in Seattle as a writer. My wife is a graphic designer, our three kids go to local elementary, middle and high schools. We have been customers of VRBO cabin owners across the West for many years, and decided this was a good way to occassionally rent out our own cabin. We use our cabin regularly as an escape from the big city. We love the space, the peace, and the great outdoors that the Okanogan has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Peace and tranquility. Wilderness views in all directions, and great access to the wild outdoors.

What makes this property unique

Great air quality. Early morning sunshine. Forests, rivers and lakes in several directions. Wildlife is around.
