Lavender Lake Lodge

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Secluded, but with all the comforts of home, this delightful family-friendly home is ideal for getting away together. Cle Elum is just a short drive away and includes incredible hiking trails to embark on with one another, as well as dining and shopping options such as the antique mall, Black Sheep Homegoods, Cavallini + Co, and Basecamp Outfitters. On the subject of hiking, Gold Creek Pond features a scenic trail that even the youngest members of the group can enjoy, while Red Top Lookout offers a similar experience. Lake Easton is also a gorgeous locale to explore, no matter the time of year.

Send the kids (and the family dogs) out to collect kindling from the forested sections of the property, then light up a fire in the wood-burning stove to keep everyone toasty. Gaze out over Lavender Lake and the mountains, or switch on the living room TV and make snacks in the full kitchen for the ultimate game day! Outside, fire up the gas grill and gather around the picnic table for the perfect summertime cookout, then take the three kayaks out onto the lake and relax on the water. You can also light a fire out in the firepit for fun times together under the stars.

This house very clean, very comfortable. Please double check the cleanliness of the kitchen stuff before using. Bring your own firewood, the place does NOT have access to a lake, but you can see it, I wouldn’t call it a lake, more like a big pond. Yes, there’s lots of iron in the water CLR cleaner would do wonders, but the place is not filthy, we had a great weekend.

We felt the house and grounds were lovely. However, suggestions for improvements; it would be nice to have some additional furniture in the bedrooms to put luggage on and some hooks in the bedrooms and bathrooms to hang robes or clean clothing on. We also missed a trash can in the guest bathroom and there was only a single box of Kleenex for the whole house. All that said, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, felt the kitchen was very well stocked. Everything worked as advertised and the house is roomy and comfortable. The only other thing I want to mention is we all felt there should’ve been more transparency about the water. To mention, almost in passing that the water “has a slight sulfur smell”, the day before we arrived was a bit misleading. I took one shower and reeked of iron all afternoon. I do understand that there may not be much that can be done about the well water without installing a much more elaborate and expensive filtration system but had we known that the water would be almost unusable we would not have booked here.

Was not very clean, lots of pet hair, people hair, and dust. No garbage bags supplied and what little tp and hand soap they had was hard to find. Also, the hottub was out of commission, which was the selling point for picking this place. Would have been nice to know ahead of time, or when booking. The location was beautiful, however there was no lake access from the house and you can still hear the interstate from the house.

It's almost like glamping

First, the house itself is great. We were happily surprised by the spaciousness of all the rooms. Floors and kitchen were good for a crowd and dogs.But it really should be made more clear that it's a camp and that the well water is not palatable (i.e., for things like drinking, coffee, brushing your teeth). The bugs in the screens were gross and the whole house was clean-ish. Maybe provide more towels for the kitchen especially when it's a big crew. There was no propane even though the fireplace is gas powered. And where was the grill that's mentioned in the written description? It just so happened that our family was just this year changing our tradition of camping together to staying in a house but it felt much more like camping than staying in a "home". Most of us couldn't make ourselves shower because the water was so bad.

Beautiful cabin and area

We stayed here over new years and it was amazing! The cabin was really nice and the snow/ view of the lake made it all look magical. We stayed with 9 people comfortably. The beds were comfortable and clean. Neighbors are not very close so it really feels secluded and private. Lovely backyard with hanging lights to create a nice mood. I accidentally left my shoes at the property and messaging Vrbo and getting them shipped to me was very easy and quick. Yes the water did have a sulfur smell but it wasn’t bad at all. We brought our own drinking water so no issues there.Overall loved our stay and would stay here again!

Nice house in a quiet community. The kids had a blast with the kayaks and going on walks in the woods! Fully stocked kitchen and lots of bedding and towels. The well water is heavily mineralized (normal in these mountains) so the filter came in handy for coffee and drinking.

Great place - bad management

This home is wonderful - beautiful property tucked back in the woods, lake view and a quick ride to Cle Elum and Ellensburg. However, the management company leaves much to be desired. We found Vacasa unresponsive and unhelpful. I would give them zero stars is possible. Messages went unanswered, some were cut & paste responses and others were nonsensical (could have been some kind of cheap AI software). The property is great - I recommend it if you want a cool place close to Cle Elum. However, for the money involved, the management company does not provide an acceptable level of service. So don’t expect any kind of supper from them. I really hope the owners find a different company to take care of their great house. Also - we had a scary run-in with the neighbors Rottweiler so use caution if you’re exploring outside.

Lavender lake

The lavender lodge might be better thought of as a cabin in a peaceful setting. There is public access to the small lake a short drive or a long walk across the water from the house. We drove the provided kayaks to the public access area as you can’t get them in at the house there is too much vegetation. We had a nice afternoon outing on the water. The house is well stocked and comfy, but felt it could use a few simple upgrades to improve the stay like new bathroom towels, new shower liner and a new bbq grate as theirs was rusty. We used aluminum foil over bbq grate to make it work. They have a nice size property so you feel like you’re quite private and our kids had fun playing outside. They have many chairs to lounge outside in the peaceful setting. We brought our own water to drink as recommended and were glad we did. Some of us smelled the sulfur in the well water more than others. The WiFi worked well. Vacasa was responsive with questions/concerns.

Lack luster Lake Lavender stay

My husband and our dog just stayed here. It was advertised as lakefront but you can't access lake from the property. To use the kyacks you have to transport them down the road in your own vehicle and put in far from the house; weird! I found the towels stained, toilets and sinks filled with brown rust stains. Water was not drinkable due to hard metallic taste. Kinda sad get away experience for us. Won't be back.

ok, with some considerations

MOST IMPORTANT - is to note the water is extremely sulphuric, and if you are at all sensitive, you won't want to shower, or even wash your face due to the bad egg smell. Also there are stains on towels and sheets from the orange water smell. We did bring our own drinking water. There is no lake access from the property, very marshy, and a neighbor came by, he has been trying to get a hold of the owners several times, due to property lines, and proceeded to hang no trespassing signs in the backyard. If owners read this, please get in touch with him. We did have trash from the prior tenants in the garage. The coffee table is about to fall apart, and the dining table is duct taped together. Ants are a problem, recommend ant traps, we did not leave food out, but they even love the water. When outside you will hear the I90. The beds were comfortable, and the house has an open living area which is nice for family time. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking & baking. There is a nice firepit outside, but we did not use it, and the bbq was not in use. Hope this helps!

Nice place-needs better management

Really nice set up, and nicely stocked with the essentials, however who ever is cleaning and stocking supplies did not do a very good job. The refrigerator had mold in it, the pantry had hair balls in it, the patio and BBQ were filthy, the propane was out, ran out of garbage bags, and no laundry detergent to wash our towels. No one told us the sprinklers were set on a timer our black truck ended up with hard water spots. I tried to call customer service for a week to update our reservation and only got through on the “are you traveling in the next 48 hours” option which was a good thing because we had no check in information. I called about the propane they said they would send someone out to refill that did not happen. After checkout we thought we had left some things so called customer service (after waiting for over 20 minutes someone answered and transferred me to someone else and was disconnected, had to call back wait for over 30 minutes so he could set up the return fee and charge my account $27 and said someone would be in contact with me that was June 20th it is now July 1st and nothing. VACASA LLC is the absolute worst property management company I have worked with, and really feel sorry for the family that is entrusting this property with them, it could be really nice overall.

I love that the property was tucked away out of sight around the backside of the lake, but very close to the freeway as well. The property is centralized between Snoqualmie Summit for snowboarding and Roslyn for Snomobiling activities! The neighborhood was like a winter wonderland. It snowed every day that we were there and somebody from the neighborhood plowed it every day. The house was very spacious with more than enough room for our family of five and a dog. There was ample supply of firewood provided for the fireplace that heats the whole house. Fantastic to sit in front of the fireplace sipping on hot chocolate after a day playing in the snow. Overall fantastic accommodations and will definitely rent from here again.

Girls weekend getaway

We enjoyed our time in this lovely and private home. The rooms were spacious, beds and furniture cozy and comfortable. We loved the big dining room table and enjoyed playing the WSU/Cougar game we found. ( Go Cougs!) We forgot foil to cover our baking pasta dinner with and didn’t find any in the cupboard or drawers so we’re thankful Cle Elum was only 13 minutes away. We appreciated the note about the Sulphur in the water (safe but smelly) and brought our own drinking water. Suggestions for the owners/managers would be: 1. To have a later checkout (10:00am checkout felt way too early) or offer late check out option. 2. Change out the towels…they looked well worn /stained and my washcloth had a whole in it…And leave a note that they can be found in the dryer, we had to search while. 3. Provide a list if closing instruction…other VRBO’s we’ve stayed at have had a short letter of welcome and a description of closing up procedures (especially around dishes and towels). We didn’t know if we we’re supposed to start the dishwasher when we left or not. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. This was a great location as we had people coming from all over the state m.
