Elegance by the River: Classic Rental with Scenic Views in Metaline Falls, WA

Stay in a piece of history - This House was built by renowned architect Kirtland Cutter in 1910 and is one of the most unique homes on the National Register of Historic Places. The House sits on a scenic bend of the Pend Oreille River just outside the town center of Metaline Falls, an outdoor recreation paradise and hotspot of regional architecture that hosts six buildings on the National Register.



The House was designed by Cutter to be a unique blend of Romantic architecture and the Arts and Crafts movement. The interior was built to combine welcoming grand spaces with the comforts of a idyllic cottage - creating a home that was both spacious and intimate.



The House and its grounds have been lovingly maintained for over 100 years by the residents of Metaline Falls - the home features original fixtures, floors and windows just as Cutter designed and built them. The kitchen and bathroom were restored by local craftsman in 2021 and 2022 to their original style while integrating modern conveniences and appliances for daily use.



The main level consists of a great room, conservatory, kitchen and dining room. The upper level has 3 bedrooms, a sitting room, and a bathroom. The home has been furnished to reflect the historical design elements and maximize guest comfort.



Air conditioning was added in 2022 to help protect the home from heat damage in the high summer - the bedrooms and the kitchen have individual temperature controls for guest comfort.

Guests have exclusive access and may explore the grounds of the estate. The other house built by Cutter on the estate is also available for rent and may be occupied by us or other guests during your stay The House is just a few minutes walk from the historic town center of Metaline Falls; restaurants, a grocer, city park, and other Cutter buildings are within 5 minutes from the front door.



Cutter designed the House to reflect the distinctive natural beauty of the Pend Oreille River and Metaline Falls area. We hope that our guests will take every opportunity to explore the town and participate in its ongoing renewal. The House is a waterfront property, sited just above a steep cliff down to the Pend Oreille River. Guests are advised to access the river and views of the river rapids and falls from a bridge just off the Rock House property for safety.



For guests interested in outdoor activities, the area around the House features some of Washington State's best fly fishing, kayaking, and hiking. Boating is possible on several mountain lakes, with the closest launch only 5 minutes from the House. We are happy to assist guests in plans to explore the natural wonders of the Metaline Falls area and can arrange onsite parking for RVs and boats on request.



Due to the fact that some historical fixtures cannot be repaired or replaced, we regret that we cannot accommodate pets. We may be able to assist with boarding options in the area for pets while guests stay with us.
