About this home

Welcome to Papa Bear’s River Cabin, a charming mountain retreat nestled in the desirable Chiwawa Pines community, offering 160 feet of Chiwawa River frontage and the rare advantage of a permitted short-term rental. Set on 0.80 acres with two lots, this property delivers space, privacy, and exceptional investment potential. The cabin features two bedrooms plus a loft, with a cozy, functional layout designed for both relaxation and gathering. The living space is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling dry stack stone fireplace, creating a warm lodge-style ambiance that perfectly complements the riverfront setting. The primary bedroom enjoys peaceful river views, while the sights and sounds of the Chiwawa River can be experienced from most every window in the home. Outdoor living is exceptional, featuring ample space for entertaining, recreation, or quiet moments along the water’s edge, highlighted by a covered riverside hot tub—perfect for year-round enjoyment. Whether enjoyed as a personal mountain escape or a proven income-producing vacation rental, this property offers flexibility and long-term value. Located just minutes from downtown Leavenworth, Lake Wenatchee, and year-round recreation, this is a rare opportunity to own riverfront property with an active STR permit in one of the area’s most sought-after mountain communities.
