Cle Elum Vacation Rental | Seattle Hospitality Photographer

When it comes to vacation rentals that have everything you need to travel comfortably as a family, Digs Co. has it down pat. We’ve been traveling with them since before our first was born and now as a family of four. In each of the many properties that they host, you can find a welcome basket full to the brim, high-quality finishes and decor, ultra-comfy beds, and luxury perks like hot tubs and game rooms. Having traveled to many Airbnbs and Vrbos over the years, you can always tell when a host goes above and beyond to create an experience, not just a side income.

We stayed in their Sun Country Digs house in November and had a great time. And honestly, that’s saying a lot when you’re traveling with young kids. The kids ran up and down the stairs from the open-plan kitchen/living room (decorated with the most beautiful pops of emerald green) to the upstairs kid-paradise hangout space, featuring oversized bean bag chairs they enjoyed diving into over and over. My husband and I enjoyed being able to see and hear them run a little wild while we relaxed. We spent long nights reading and enjoying the hot tub and going out to eat in the local Roslyn restaurants (Base Camp Books and The Brick are our faves).

Digs Co. properties are always in great locations. In this spot, we enjoyed being nestled into towering pines with only a few quiet cabins nearby. Remote with quick access to amenities, which is key for a traveling family.

I’ve partnered with Chelsea and Luke, the Digs Co. owners, for years, and have had the joy of photographing over ten of their properties. Each one has unique and beautiful interior design, and is so thoughtfully prepared. They set a standard for excellence in the business of short term rentals and make guest experience an art. Creating travel lifestyle content with them is such a joy, and staying with them is always a refreshing highlight that my whole family adores.

Colorful and Cheeky AirBnB in Cle Elum | Seattle Interiors Photographer

When I’m looking for a quick and easy getaway from the gray rainy Seattle weather, I’m always up for the beautiful drive across Snoqualmie Pass and over to Eastern Washington. Cle Elum and the surrounding area is the perfect stone’s throw for a weekend trip. With a beautiful lake and mountains leading slowly to desert, it’s a visual wonderland and always helps me hit reset. That’s why I jump at any opportunity to work with The Digs Co., a real estate and vacation rental company that has the BEST hosted and co-hosted sites across the pass. I met Chelsea, the founder, years back and we stayed in touch as our businesses grew and evolved. I first stayed at her first rental, Roslyn Digs, when I was expecting my first son. I’ll never forget how I enjoyed those peaceful mornings and shooting the brand new space with a cup of coffee in hand.

Fast forward almost four years (and now with a second baby!) I’d been following their progress with this super cute spot. Chelsea’s design sense is so spot on and you can tell the theme of this was FUN. I love all the pops of color in the house, from the emerald green velvet chairs to the neon pink hand hook in the bathroom, to the retro comic tile in the shower. The art in this space is so fun and playful, and as soon as you step outside you’re enveloped by towering pines and a whisper-quiet roaming yard space. I’m setting my sights on a little solo refresh retreat there soon.

Enjoy Shin Digs, and book it here!
