Free days are given away liberally but also at the final approval of the owner based on my knowledge of holidays and town events. May also apply to May or June weekends if I approve so it never hurts to ask. But generally this is a weekday promotion and doesn't include Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays. Thank you.


Beautiful spot, next to Lake Wenatchee State Park, across the street from the lake with amazing views. Hot tub, large flat screen, brand new furnishings in many rooms, brand new bedding, completely remodeled recently, large deck for enjoying the views and nature and for peaceful conversation and cocktails. My guests love this property!

The house itself is laid out very well. The pictures speak for themselves. This is essentially a four-bedroom home, 2 bedrooms upstairs and two dowstairs with an accessory room that has two bunk beds (four twin beds) in it. We converted a downstairs living area into a space that has two built in beds (Queen and twin, works great for a couple with a youngster) and a foosball table.

There are two bathrooms, one up and one down. We have a great kitchen space that has most items you'd expect to find in the average home. The property has a beautiful gas pot belly stove in the living room and a hot tub outside on the lower deck.

The views from the living room are simply stunning. We have high speed internet and a Roku Smart TV so don't forget your Netflix, Hulu (Hulu is identical to basic cable) or Amazon Prime membership. This truly is one of my favorite spots on the planet. We welcome you to enjoy both the state park which is just around the corner and the hidden lake hike trail that is at the end of Cedar Brae road.

Please be sure to reach out to us prior to your stay to get the door code which we change at will.

Great neighborhood filled with weekend homes, full time residents and other vacation rental properties. Wooded, water views, rustic, gorgeous and ready to be played in.

Please read our welcome letter and contract prior to your arrival for property specific instructions as it pertains to new County regulations, our neighborhood and our property.

New county regulations for vacation rentals include:

Noise restrictions - 75 dbs daytime, quiet time after 10 pm.
Housing cap restrictions - 2 people per bedroom plus 2
Vehicle restrictions - 1 car per bedroom plus 1
Etc.

It's pretty easy to keep the county happy we just have to be a tad more cognizant. :)

Side notes: We charge a lower base rate and then extra guest fees so we don't have to merely have one much higher rate. Smaller parties use less supplies, provide less wear and tear and create quicker cleans for our cleaners. In an effort to be able to cater to smaller parties we have structured our pricing this way and we've been doing our pricing this way since 2007. We really just want to be clear on this.

Important: This is a winter "adventure" cabin. We say this because this property is up a 200-250 yard driveway on a 20+ degree grade that gets very icy in the winter (it's fine in the late spring, summer and fall of course). Most vehicles being driven by the average winter driver do not do well attempting to get up the hill and do even worse trying to get down the hill. As a result we just spent $40,000 building a massive covered staircase from the lower parking area to the upper driveway and the cabin itself (please see pics of the new steps). As a result, voila, the stairs. This keeps our guests safe and the cars safe and keeps things low maintenance for us, but at quite an upfront cost and well worth it. Be prepared to park below and walk up and down. I've timed the walk up. It takes less than 2 minutes. If you walk two steps at a time it's only 37 steps. :)

Taking that into consideration, pack in backpacks if you are able to, be cognizant of your guest list. Those steps can be difficult for the elderly and the infirm, please do not book this property if you are planning on bringing anyone who cannot go up and down the stairs as many times as they would need to to come and go and see the sights and so forth. Also be ready to move your rig when the plow man comes to plow the lower parking area.

Once you get up to that cabin and see that view you will be so happy you booked this property in the winter, it's stunning. It's gorgeous inside and out not to mention the view!

During the winter we highly suggest that guests bring a four wheel drive vehicle with snow tires (or at least have chains in the trunk) . You will not be able to navigate Leavenworth or our driveway without these essentials. It can easily snow a foot or two overnight and our plow guy sometimes doesn't get to the house until the afternoon or evening. This could put you in a bad spot on check out day. Even a four wheel drive with one or two year old tires can get you stuck (I've been there!).

The lower parking area only holds 3 cars. So in the winter please bring 3 cars, if you bring more you may have to shuttle in but we do have to have the driveway left fully open for our neighbors.

As a final note, the county restricts this house to a max of 10 persons, 2 pets and four to five cars (but we again can only fit 3 in the winter). Because of this we have to have a deterrent to unannounced or unpaid for humans, pets or cars. As a result any unannounced or unpaid for persons, pets or over the limit vehicles are charged at $100 dollars per night. Also if we come upon the property and notice unannounced vehicles or people the county in conjunction with code enforcement demands that we move towards eviction and we never, ever want to have to do that (like never, ever). So please when booking ensure that all adults, children, babies and pets are listed while booking and before paying. We thank you so much!
