Stay in a piece of history - the Rock House of Metaline Falls 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 Rock 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 Rock House was designed by Cutter to be a unique blend of Romantic architecture and the Arts and Crafts movement. The interior of the Rock House was built to combine welcoming grand spaces with the comforts of a idyllic cottage - creating a home that was both spacious and intimate.
The Rock 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 Rock House 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 Rock House 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 to the Rock House 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 to the Rock House and may explore the grounds of the estate. The Carriage 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 Rock 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 Rock 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 Rock 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 Rock 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 Rock 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 Rock House historical fixtures cannot be repaired or replaced, we regret that we cannot accommodate pets at the Rock House. We may be able to assist with boarding options in the area for pets while guests stay with us.

Reviews
A great place to stay...
A great place to stay for groups 2-8 - can fit 10 but it would be tight. Terry is a great host - he's renovated this 1910 house with all the technology of the 2020's. Comfy beds, modern kitchen & amazing woodwork. No breakfast, but easy to cook your own, or an easy walk to a number of places to eat. Highly recommended.
Beautiful Historical Home
The home is beautiful, and historically preserved yet in a very modern style. The home has a homey and comfortable feeling. The beds, very comfortable and the linens were lovely, The location of the home was perfect. What a beautiful town and very quaint and welcoming. I would recommend this home for weddings, family get together’s, and the like. The host was very lovely.
Great Weekend Getaway
We absolutely loved the charm and history of the Rock House. Stunning architecture from 1910 with modern conveniences that didn’t take away from the natural beauty. They do a great job of leaving notes regarding some of the unique designs and pieces of historical significance. Beds were comfy, the toilet was pretty high-tech, and the kitchen made staying in to eat home cooked meals a breeze. We will definitely be coming back for another quick vacation soon.
Great Getaway
The house is amazing and a perfect base to launch your outdoor adventures from. Terry and Lisa were great and the neighbors are all fun and super nice. Terry took us out on the pontoon and our boys tried their hand at fishing. No luck but they got to drive the boat! Rachel, next door neighbor, is a chef and caters meals to the home. We had an excellent dinner to cap off our week and our last night. We'll definitely be coming back.

You know when you...
You know when you visit an historic building or museum and think “I wonder what it would be like to live here” ?? Well now here is your opportunity. Wow, what a gem. This mansion is packed with all of the luxuries while also holding a rich history and situated in the historical small town of Metaline Falls. I felt like royalty staying here with my husband and toddler. The grand piano was one of our favorite parts. Needless to say, this place is spotless, stocked with everything you need for an overnight or much longer stay, and is just so incredibly special. The host was SO humbly accommodating throughout the booking process, as we were trying to decide if we would be able to come or not due to wildfire smoke. I am so impressed by their professionalism and compassion — a fantastic combination. I hope I get to return to this magnificent Airbnb. Really, it’s what dreams are made of! Book it!
