Ronald, Once a Coal Miner Town, By Roslyn!

Imagine waking up in the morning with your cup of coffee, and sitting outside looking at the mountain range. Watch your dog outside enjoying the large fenced front and side yard. You can view pets from the windows inside too!
Enjoy area hiking trails, visiting Speelyi beach or check out the Roslyn Farmers Market on Sunday. Visit the surrounding shops and restaurants. Lots of great Northern Exposure History (90’s TV series/Netflix). The Brick Saloon is a historic landmark in town and has weekend evening entertainment.
In Ronald, don’t forget to check out Old # 3 Bar & Grill, great breakfast on the weekends! Walk out the back gate & down the alley. After breakfast take a bike ride or walk the Coal Miners trail that goes through Roslyn all the way to Cle Elum. Both are walking distance from the cabin. Up from the trail start you can find old ruined structures from the coal mining days.
Neighbors across the vacant lot, in the red house have a friendly pet pig, named Twinkle. She eats fruits & vegetables if you would like to bring her a snack. Just go on over. They recently got chickens & let them roam during the day. A favorite place for them is behind the plum trees. Sometimes they come in the yard. They are pretty friendly & you can pick them up & put them back over the fence or just leave them. Let me know if you would like me to notify the neighbor to come and get them.
