About this property

The Iris House, Historic Downtown Roslyn, WA

Freshly renovated while still maintaining its historic charm, this lovingly restored 100+ year old cabin in downtown Roslyn is an easy walk to The Brick (Washington State's oldest continuously operating bar), the famous Roslyn Cafe (Northern Exposure fans take note) and other popular Roslyn locals. Inside you'll find a thoughtful combination of modern conveniences and historic details.

The great room is charming with many, special touches including a tin ceiling and wood floor. Chef-ready kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances, a party-sized refrigerator and a classic farm-house sink. Dining seats six comfortably and the living room offers a 60" TV for streaming.

A barn door made from local reclaimed wood reveals the primary bedroom with a super comfortable queen bed and 32" TV on the main floor.

Head up the spiral staircase to another queen bed, two twin beds, a game area and a cozy sitting area and 24" TV.

Lightning fast fiber internet, AC on both floors, great location and a comfy cabin make the Iris House the perfect choice for your Roslyn get-away.

A great stay in a nice place

We stayed for one night before a 10 mile snowshoe/hike. The house was well outfitted and easy to settle into. Good communication and we were never confused/disappointed with anything.

Get away

Get away to LeavenworthHome was charming and cozy but parking leaves much to be desired. Snow covered, very close to a busy road that you need to parallel park with. So hard to get out of car because so close to porch steps. But once inside, darling place. Very comfortable. Would rent again, jut not in the winter. Very nice reading chair in the loft.

Adorable house in super convenient location

Spent the weekend in the lovely, warms and cozy Iris. The house is walking distance from the restaurants and stores in Roslyn, super clean and well appointed. It backs to an endless network of trails in the woods so you get the best of both worlds. Would stay here again.

Adorable cabin

I loved this place, so cute and clean, plenty of room. Very nice yard. It is on the main road into town however, so a bit noisy with car traffic. If you bring your earplugs for sleeping, darn near perfect! Really charming overall.

We Love Roslyn

This was a great location only 5-7 min walk from The Brick and downtown. The road is the main highway into town from Cle Elum so traffic was loud in the morning. We would stay here again and for multiple days so we could enjoy the kitchen and living room more.

Great Girl’s Overnight

There were 6 of us ladies and we only stayed one night. The house was super cute, very clean, had everything we needed. A short walk to town for breakfast -dog friendly house and town. We will be staying here again for sure.

Northern Exposure

If you want to be close to Cicely, AK (aka Roslyn WA) from the incredible TV Show Northern Exposure——this is your spot. Plenty of sleeping space (1 bathroom so coordinate with friends the rotation ahead of time) easily walk to downtown.

Rustic and comfy

I was amazed from looking at the outside and how rustic it is to when you go inside it is completely comfy and adorable! You would never know there was that much room to sleep more people. Loved it! Love the decor! The beds were very comfortable. Will rent again. And it’s right down the road from the Brick!! Thank you!

Comfortable and so fun!

We stayed in this lovely home for just a night but wished we could stay longer! My girls loved the upstairs room and the spiral staircase was a huge hit. We cuddled up for a movie night on the couch and cooked a wonderful breakfast in the fully stocked kitchen. The beds were wonderful and the backyard was so fun. What a wonderful little place to return to after exploring the historic town. We will definitely be back!

Great little getaway

Hubby and I booked a last minute, close getaway for our anniversary. We enjoyed Roslyn! Loved staying in such and old historic home. The upgrades and remodel is beautiful. Owner was kind and easy to communicate with. We plan to come back and explore more history of the charming town!

Cutest little place!

We loved this house! There was plenty of room for our family, everyone had their own space! We had all the amenities needed (though we would have loved to toss in a load of laundry during our stay), and the loaction was perfect since we were back and forth to a wedding venue during our stay. We look forward to coming back and staying again!
