HCW was the perfect place for our group of 11 to stay for a long ski weekend. Close to the trails, spacious enough to accommodate a large group. We cooked most of our meals - the kitchen had everything we needed including two dishwashers and an endless supply of dishes so we never ran out. We enjoyed the hot tub, fireplaces inside and out, and the river view. Great communication with the host with recommendations and information about the surrounding areas. Will definitely come back next year.
The house was beautiful and perfect! Fully stocked with everything you could need! The host was amazing and so quick to respond. We will be back to experience it in the summer!
Beautiful property with stunning surroundings! The lodge was well appointed, the beds were very comfortable, and we had a wonderful stay. Five stars — we’d love to return some day!
The lodge exceed our expectations! It was absolutely stunning and the views were amazing! It was extremely clean even decorated for the holidays! The owner was absolutely wonderful! With unpredictable weather around the time of our stay, she kept us updated and provided an alternative route to get there due to flooding on the pass we were going to be taking. I can’t say enough about how perfect our trip was!Thank you Shannon!
The property was beautiful. Beds were all so comfy. Had everything we could possibly need and more. Shannon is a great communicative host and does a wonderful job. My co workers and I enjoyed our girls weekend at this home very much!
This house is perfect. Away from neighbors every detail is perfectly thought out. It was the relaxing get away that my group of 12 adults needed. Every bed was comfortable, plenty of space to spread out, and lots of room around the kitchen table.
Everything was perfect. It is as described on the listing. I don’t think there is a kitchen item that been invented that isn’t there. Beautiful home and location.
We had a most wonderful family vacation in this fantastic house. It has everything anyone could possibly want in a getaway home. We were a family of 10, ages 18 to 87, celebrating 2 graduations, needing a place where everyone could have good time. All the rooms were well appointed, the kitchen was fantastic, and between rafting on the river, the pool and hot tub, and the game room, plus all the deck-sitting spaces for games or eating, this place had everything anyone could possibly want. We loved our time here in aptly named paradise.
This is a great property, many different things to keep everyone busy. Along with many relaxing areas. We would definitely rent this property again. Very clean and and easy check-in process.
This is such a great spot for a family escape! Our kids had such a great time on the property between the pool, the river and the kids club that they never wanted to leave! The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is very well supplied. I highly recommend this place!
We went out for a yearly weekend cabin getaway with a group of couples, this has been by far the best house we have stayed at and the best experience! Shannon was amazing to book with and very friendly, the home was beautiful and we utilized the hot tub and sauna to the full extent. We will book again and hopefully book to to experience the home over the summer! The views were immaculate as well.
Our family booked this lodge for our annual family vacation and had an absolutely amazing time. The lodge offered something for everyone in our group, from our two young grandchildren to the grandparents. The trails, pool, hot tub, sports court, as well as the great selection of movies and games helped us create wonderful memories. We couldn't have had a better time and can't wait to stay in this amazing lodge again.
We had a great time. The cabin was great, including a great view. Enjoying handing out there when we were not playing in the snow. The hot tub, sauna, and fireplace were great for warming up.
Very nice property, well appointed large kitchen, private and quiet. Our family had a great time there. The owner was quick to respond with any and all questions!

We loved our stay. Everyone had plenty of room but also lots of places to come together. The kitchen is better stocked than any rental I've ever seen. The setting is beautiful and secluded. We had planned to go into Leavenworth for more meals but ended up staying at home because it was the best venue!
What can I say other than this place exceeded all of our expectations (and they were already high!). The property is pristine and breath taking, the cabin is beautiful and full of every amenity you could possibly ask for. We made memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much for sharing this special place with us!
I stayed at HCW Lodge with 9 of my childhood friends for our annual get together. This house had it all and was perfect for our group. The accommodations where very comfortable - and the kitchen had everything we needed. From the sport court, to the pool and river access - this was a weekend to remember. We stayed four nights and all guests shared they could have continued staying there longer with all of the activities for recreation and relaxation!
Six adults and six kids found plenty of fun activities during our stay! The house is fully stocked with everything you need. The house, pool, sauna, and hot tub were very clean. The three refrigerators gave us plenty of space to store our food! The riverfront location is amazing. We would love to return.
We’ve stayed here four years in a row and love it every time. The property is gorgeous and well-appointed. The kitchen is great for groups— 3 fridges, 2 long tables, every utensil & kitchen gadget in existence, even placemats. Nothing is ever lacking. Thank you for taking such good care of this place!
The owner's communication of the booking process, property access, and how to get the most out of your experience was fantastic. It made the whole experience easy and incredibly simple. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous and a fantastic space for groups to get together and includes enough space for people to break off and relax on their own. Everything you could possibly need to have a fantastic day is in one place.
We came up to see Leavenworth over Christmas. It was a bit of a trek to get into town (like 35 minutes or so) but the scenery coming off the mountain was nice to look at. The house was more than large enough for all of us. The teenagers loved the game room with the pool table. The kitchen was awesome and accommodating for my family of 10. Everyone wants to come back up at summer time now. You won’t regret staying here!
