The space
Soft winter light filters through frost-tipped evergreens as you make your way up the long, quiet approach, where crisp air and still mornings set the tone for a peaceful retreat. Evenings lean toward slow conversations by the fire pit and unhurried soaks in the hot tub beneath clear, cold-season skies. Inside, warm lighting and generous gathering spaces create a cozy hideaway after exploring the snowy surroundings of Cle Elum.

Sleeping arrangements
Six bedrooms are spread across the main and second floors, offering space for up to 19 guests with 12 beds. Three bedrooms sit on the main level and three above, each supported by thoughtful touches like bed linens, extra pillows and blankets, room-darkening shades, and multiple clothing storage options, including a walk-in closet. With 3.5 baths across both floors, getting ready is convenient for larger groups.

Indoor living
The game room invites you to settle in on winter days with an 85-inch movie theater setup, pool table, and space to gather. A dedicated children’s playroom provides toys, books, and games for ages ranging from toddlers to early readers. Additional indoor entertainment includes board games, books, TV, a Blue Sound Bluetooth sound system, and an indoor fireplace with gas heating. Free 1 Gb Wifi and a dedicated workspace with an ergonomic chair support work or connection when needed. A private gym in the building features free weights, a stationary bike, a treadmill, a rowing machine, and more.

Outdoor living
Winter moments outdoors are shaped by the fire pit, the private hot tub available all year, and the fully fenced backyard. Private patio spaces and outdoor furniture offer fresh-air breaks even in cold weather. Nearby shared beach access and lake access remain available for year-round exploration, and sports equipment like corn hole, spike ball, and snowshoes help keep your group active.

Kitchen and dining
The kitchen provides everything you need to prepare meals, including a refrigerator, freezer, microwave, stainless steel gas stove, stainless steel single oven, and dishwasher. A dining table for 10 brings everyone together for shared meals or games, and a private BBQ grill with gas supports year-round cooking.

Exceptional communication from James. Everything was clean, tidy, and clearly labeled. The downstairs game room was fantastic and well furnished. Only small downside is a smaller number of bathrooms.

The property was great. Everything looked exactly like the listing. It was isolated, quiet, and huge. There were plenty of high quality games (darts, pool, air hocky) and a great sound system in the basement. Outside there were hammocks, a hot tub, basketball hoop, cornhole, and a grill. There was nothing this place didnt have.The house is a short drive (10 minutes) from stores, fast food, and gas stations so there is no problem if you forget to bring something.It is the perfect place for a weekend getaway.

Great !!! A few quirky things

House great , communication with owner great .. maintenance person shows up early am don’t announce her self when we said hi just ignored us. Contacted owner said miscommunication she should not be there at that time. Took her 30-40 minutes to get in garage where work was being done!! Tried to lower temp on thermostat to 71 but someone else had remote control of it and raised it to 76 for a couple of minutes. Would not allow anything lower than 73 , no fans in place.

Winter Wonderland

We had an amazing time at this beautiful home! The acreage made it feel nice and private, and we had a great view of elk passing through the property. We went snowshoeing at The Gold Creek Trail, and were able to borrow snowshoes from the house which was great. Everything was well stocked and clean.
